Events: Rosé Brunch

August 10, 2019

Filed Under : Uncategorized







Hey everyone! I know the content has been dragging lately, but my life has been all over the place. New job, new gigs, and so much more. All that being said, I was able to put some time to the side and host a Rosé Brunch for my Birthday! I’m known for a great birthday bash.

The Concept

My birthday parties have always incorporated some type of theme. Up until this point, I have thrown garden, costume, and yellow parties (Yes, once upon a time, I hosted a yellow themed party in my backyard. It was amazing to say the least). This year, I decided to step outside my comfort zone and go with something a little different, the Rosé Brunch! Rosé? Yes, Rosé! Have you been hiding under a rock all summer, Rosé is everywhere! Since this trend has been in full effect since 2018, I thought it was more than appropriate to take this fad into foreign territory with the first annual Rosé Brunch.

The Crew

In contrast to previous years, I decided to shorten my birthday guest list significantly. I haven’t spoken to you in six months, you are not making the cut. Sorry! My goal this year has been to redirecting my energy towards the consistency, positivity, and intimacy. So, if you have yet to contribute in those ways, you were not invited. Nothing personal! The finalized roster included at least twenty-five guests. Luckily, most showed up at different times.

What We Wore

Similar to the overall theme, the attire include Rosé inspired colors. Confused? Anything with pink, gold, or white were sufficient enough. Solids, stripes, or prints were also welcomed. Since most of us were getting in the pool, bathing suits were more than welcome J

What We Ate

Initially, the plan was to cater all my food. Due to budget constraints, I changed my mind and went with something more practical, cooking all the food myself. The menu can be found below:

French Toast
Veggie and Egg Quiche
Waffles
Turkey Bacon and Sausage
Pork Bacon and Sausage
Rosé Mimosas

The french toast and quiche went fast! I thought using thick Challah bread would fill everyone up. Unfortunately, it was too good for just one serving. Luckily, I made some extra pans.

The Brunch Itself

Until sunset, we spent the day relaxing poolside, eating brunch, listening to music, and drinking mimosas. Since everyone was still hanging around, we decided to put some food on the grill, order a few pizzas, and kept the party going.

If you plan on hosting an event in the next few weeks, a Rosé themed brunch is the best way to go!

What I’m Wearing
Pants | T-Shirt | Sneakers

Another day, another collaboration with Express! Since the Spring, I’ve received multiple opportunities to collaborate with Express. The catch? Stylish clothing for blog and social media content. Dope, right? Today, I decided to feature one of their popular items, the comfort stretch chinos. This lightweight pair of trousers look like everyday jeans, but are dressy enough for the workplace. I kept it casual in my Express graphic tee and Vans sneakers. So, how do you feel about this particular look? Feel free to share in the comments section below.

Talk to you soon,

What I’m Wearing
Shirt | Shorts | Sneakers

What’s a guy to do when it’s too hot for a long sleeve shirt, but you still want to show off those summer arms? As seen previously here, the summer trend is all about floral, tropical print shirts right now. Speaking of tropical prints, how dope is this top from Express? This is the go-to shirt if you want to hang with the homies or grab some food to go. Make sure you hit up Express and make a purchase before September rolls around. So, how do you feel about this particular look? Feel free to share in the comments section below.

See you soon,
