 Are you ready ready? Let's do it All right first question we have here We're where were you guys going and that's that's in reference to the picture that I put up when I posted So we were going that was New Year's Eve last year. We were going to this year last year Yeah, New Year's Eve last year we were going to one of our favorite restaurants Petit Louis We have our specific table that we always sit at so that is where we were going Question number two What's the first outfit that I imagine Robin in when I think of her? Fong Like you have like great style, but I I Just always love when you have just like something simple on like you have right now like just a pair of jeans and A simple top. I just think you look really really pretty that way And vice versa First thing I think of you. I mean probably a suit or a blazer I think of like he's poop style Brian like walking down the street What color suit? That's specific. I don't know gray brown Okay, brown Mm-hmm suit Question number three Does Robin prefer me with a beard or without a beard? I wouldn't say you be well scruff. Yes, but not like too much not like a full beard more like sometimes if it gets too long it gets a little like curly and Tickles, so I'd say a good amount of scruff like right now. This is this good good amount of scruff I don't know. This is like four days. I like that. I like scruff. All right Question number four what trends do you love or hate? Why don't you start with that? I'm not a big trend person Yeah, I'd say in general. I don't love Trends because then everyone looks the same or everyone thinks they have to get something because it's cool when it's very cyclical and it comes back every three years or so, so I Mean we're in a pandemic. I don't know that there's like a trend other than the sweatpants on the bottom and Did you call it an outfit mullet outfit mullet? Yeah, is that a real term? I think it's something outfit mullet. Yeah I'm guilty of that not right now though. I do have jeans on. Yes. Anyway, what about you? Sure I don't really like trends as you know I Can't think of anything off the top of my head I mean it feels like it's always like the same stuff like every season if you like read the magazines or whatever they're like Oh, like it's fall now. So We're totally gonna blue green. Oh, yeah for guys. It's like all of like all of it's gonna be the thing this this fall And it never really is So I Don't know. I'm not a trend trend follower. No, it's kind of like a big I mean, you know, I think you like you evolve and there are things that I might like appropriate like here and there if they make Sense to me, but I can't think of anything like specifically off the top of my head that I like so not a big trend person Yeah, I mean other than the blue Ivy indeed is stuff. There's nothing that I'm like Oh, I need to have that the minute it launches for some reason. That's Something that's your that's your thing Ivy Ivy Park blue Ivy blue Ivy. Okay. Is that different than Ivy Park? It is Ivy Park, you're right. I don't Blue Ivy's the daughter Ivy Park. There you go action. All right edit that out What is the best fragrance for a date? I you know what we should do here. We should pick what we'd like. Yes, I'm other. Yeah Black Afghano for you really for on a date for a date. Yeah, like we're going on a date together. Okay, right Yeah, that's like sex appeal and musky and Mm-hmm. What about for like someone watching who's like, you know going on a first date? I don't know that I would choose black. No, I think he said that in the fragrance video that it's something you want You don't want it to be overpowering because if she has a bad reaction to it She's going to have a bad reaction to you know, so right right right, but for you and me It's black afghano. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yes. I You have a couple that I really like when we go out And it depends on the it depends on the time of day that it is like I would say for Like just general any time Doesn't matter. I really like The Frederick Malportrait of a lady That's recent recent Mm-hmm and then for like a more elegant Kind of thing Morse, it's a little more distinct a little more special. That's um The Dior Private collection oud Isfahan Yeah, that's a really good one. I should note that you've bought all of those for me The oud Isfahan I think is like a really good compliment to Black afghano or maybe it's like we would walk into a room and people would be like whoa, that's way too much Anyway, yeah, that I think I got in an uber Like a year ago when the Uber driver was really into the perfume, which was a little Okay, how about moving on now question number six, what is the best restaurant you've ever been to ever? ever Are we we're saying it like together though That's hard I feel like we this sounds pretentious, but when we Go somewhere and we travel we try to go to a really nice restaurant or like a thing that we do is we invest in like We'll go to a Michelin restaurant when we travel. So that started when we went to Florence, right? so It's gotta be one of those I was gonna pick that You know take a pinch uri from Florence. That was like the first one. Yeah, that was just a really cool experience There weren't there weren't many people there, but I don't think they like had many tables, but it just felt like really special And that was like one of the first I Think that was the first Michelin star restaurant that I ever went to so I liked that though. I didn't Brace myself enough for that. So I think I had to like tap out for one or two of the courses kind of happens all the time So I would say that restaurant was it like 1990 bodega something in Barcelona Hmm that we flicks we stumbled upon we went to a museum and then we were walking around and I pulled up four square to find like where can we go and eat and we happened upon this I think it's bodega 1990 something and That was like perfect amounts of tapas and like Small bites and they kept bringing us stuff until we said no more, but the first bite was that Liquid olive. I remember yeah So that that was special because it was really good. We didn't realize where we were And it was just it was like at a weird time, too It was like two o'clock in the afternoon and then didn't we have like a meal that evening probably Was that that day All right Where are we at now? Number seven. Do you get do people do people recognize you on the street? Do you get star spotted me? I'm not a star. No, no, no, I don't I don't really get get it either every once in a while I will and in New York in New York. It happens every now and then yeah, it's sometimes surprising Yeah, every once in a while. I'm just your wife. I don't get recognized. No Question eight. This is a good one. Do you recall periods in your life when your style took a big change in direction? I wouldn't say it was good or bad, but I think when I moved to San Francisco. I was 22 21 22 when I went to Academy of Art for a semester and I definitely I Wouldn't say like fell into the trends out there, but there's definitely a different style in San Francisco than There was in New York, and I definitely I cut my hair. I did like a layer of like blonde on top Darker on the bottom the things I was buying. I think it was less about things. I wanted and more Things that were around me and I wanted to fit in So it's all new so I wouldn't say it's like something that stuck with me, but I remember Do you think it was a very different moment? Do you think it was because to like maybe? you know like when you travel or people travel like you kind of like I Don't know or like you're like testing out like something new because like you're not around normal or the people you always see So like maybe you feel like uninhibited in a certain way and like, you know You went from the east coast all the way to the west coast. So I'm this isn't like a therapy session or anything Well, probably yeah It was like trying to like reinvent yourself in some way or like find something different. Yeah I think women also like after a Breakup or like their change is usually cutting their hair off So that's usually the the main thing versus so that's what I'll overall That's what I got to watch out for when you cut your hair. I did that a year ago What about you for me I I don't think it was like a big change in direction, but it was like more of Just arriving at a place where I felt confident in What I was doing and I would say that was maybe like I Lose track of time now, but maybe like like three four or five years ago when I was just kind of like, you know It's weird like It's always like it's weird, you know Like always posting pictures of yourself online and one of the things that I think is unhealthy about it is like You always you're over critiquing. Well, no not that We always sort of like feel the need to like do something different and like like show people something new and do it for the gram Yeah, and and like that's it's bad for a number of reasons, you know, it gets expensive and it's like Why am I doing this, you know, and I just got to this place where it was I got I just felt more comfortable with like doing just doing Like hey, like alright, maybe this is boring and like you're tired of seeing it, but I don't care It's it's how I like to dress it works. I found like this formula that works for me and I'm good with that. So that was like a big like shift just being like comfortable and confident with Just doing my own thing and not worrying about all these are trying to be different or try to you know, there's something Good about just having a thing. I'm always envious of people that are like super like, you know straight ahead on that I think a lot of that the outfits. I didn't like in that video that we did. Mm-hmm were at the end of that cycle Like doing the hat and wearing the like there were a lot of like additional touches, which now I think you don't feel the needs like oh, I need one more thing. Mm-hmm Question number nine. What is the most fun and bizarre? Experience you guys have had together. I think we should segment that off into like fun experience and bizarre experience Or you could take the fun and I could take the bizarre Yeah, I don't think I have a bizarre. I have a bizarre the fun What am I forgetting the fun would be the BMW? Yeah road trip. I agree that was I mean You really like the car I Just slept in the back of it when you and Robert driving the whole time but the experience of just being thrown in the middle of Europe and Being given a car and being able to drive around four or five six days That was meeting all those people using. Yeah, and yeah, it wasn't just like we get to see all these things We had to talk to a lot of people. We had a lot of great experience. Mm-hmm Got to see my man John Paul Hey, he's got a girlfriend now Mazel All right bizarre bizarre So It was when we were in Lake Como For the concorso and that first night there was a dinner For for you, right? But but so you were up up in the hotel in the room and I Was talking with I thought you were like up and like watching TV or whatever So I was like talking with way co Among other people and and I was like, oh, you um my wife, you know loves you And you know she'd love to meet you, you know and and he was like going somewhere So anyway, we like went up to the it just seems now looking back on it now It seems like really strange that this happened and I'm always wondering you brought some To the bedroom So we like went up and like I knocked on the door and it like took a little while for you to Passed out. She was sleeping. Yeah, so So like I come to the door and like you open it up and you're like Probably in a row like hey, this is way and he's like, of course. He's like very polite and everything Remember that I do but it was a different time Yeah, so that that's That's what I came up with as I was thinking about bizarre. Yeah All right moving on now To a question number 10 what is preferred drink from each of you? I feel like it changes. Yeah, same Right now. I always go through like the apparel spritz That's kind of like my drink of choice at home Because it sounds like an alcoholic. I like the the buzz you get from it more than Like drinking a glass of wine or something else. I feel like it's refreshing But you get a like a fun little buzz. Mm-hmm or miss Cal miss Cal miss Cal For me it like changes all the time too right now because maybe because of the season. I'm on like a The grony no, no, I do want to speak about the Negroni though. I'm on sort of a Cognac or Calvados kind of kick Brandy so I've been drinking brandy and making sidecars But it it changes it kind of depends on the season I mean it were I'll be drinking a martini soon because it's gonna be time to watch time to watch the thin man and everything. Yeah Negroni, Negroni. Yeah, I don't know. I love Negroni. I had one last night because he made really nice Italian meal, but I Don't know. I'm kind of like I'm not down on the Negroni But I'm just a little tired of like all the Negroni idolatry. That's happening It's kind of with the spritz too Yeah It's like okay, I get it. I like mezcal Negronis. Those are good. Yeah, a little twist. Yes Question number 11. How do you stay connected to the world slash culture of elegance during COVID-19 lockdowns? I don't think I do. I don't at all. I think in the beginning I Was trying to like get dressed up and Have like a day where I like gowns and yeah, I think I made you dinner and like a black gown with champagne Took your picture But since I I don't I'm trying not to stay connected to the world right now. Honestly and culture It's hard. Yeah, I don't I don't know. I mean scroll through Instagram. That's all but like I Don't know. There's not like a Some people like every Friday. They'll get dressed up or whatever. We haven't really done that but No, I mean we had to take a whole bunch of pictures of stuff for Michael Andrews things. So I don't know. I got dressed up a lot for that Yeah, I don't think we've really been doing a good job at that Question number 12 rules you to follow when coordinating outfits. I mean Wasn't really on purpose. I don't know that we follow rules For me, I always try to dress off of what you will wear. But how would you dress up like I'm wearing a White dress or something. What would you do from that? I would always like you to be sort of like the focus And then I pick something that is complimentary to it That doesn't overshadow it. So it's the cult like pulling the color in somehow. Yeah Question number 13. What are your guilty pleasures? You go first guilty pleasures Cigars, I haven't since when's the last time I smoked a cigar. I would say that's a guilty pleasure Every once in a while I'll feel that but I don't know that it's a guilty pleasure. I think they really are talking about like bad TV or something Well, I'd say shopping for me is a guilty pleasure in the beginning of the pandemic. I bought nothing didn't need anything and then after That went on for a few months. I've bought like I bought something like a pre-order for a black cocktail dress, which It's like something to look forward to one day. I'll need it. It's an investment, but I mean I People are saving money right now. I think that's I would say that's guilty pleasure. It makes me happy. Okay And sitting on the couch like a bum on the weekends once work is done. I turn off the brain. I want to I Enjoy laying on the couch and watching TV for no reason and watching the same thing over and over again You judge me for it, but I like it. She's watching Beverly Hills 90210, right? Yeah, I'm original. Yeah I don't know that I have a guilty pleasure like that Yeah, you work you you work every day all day Yeah, I mean you're what you like to do now is like do the crossword. That's not really that's not a guilty pleasure though Yeah You need one All right. That should be your if your suggestions for guilty pleasures down below in the comments. Yeah All right moving on Question number 14, do you ever have the feeling of being overdressed in your social circle? Well, I don't really have a circle anymore, so no, but I've always I've been getting overdressed since high school like Sophomore junior year. I've always been overdressed or like more put together than your friends I feel like it would it's kind of the same thing. I so I've Consistently felt like that though. I guess as I'm older and you're Not just hanging out with people you went to school with you're hanging out with people that like you're choosing to hang out with more We all kind of do it a little bit more together or it doesn't matter as much. It's not such a like. Oh, where are you going? I It's different for guys. I think I don't feel Overdressed compared to like that people yeah that We are it's like the feeling of Being out of place or something for it, right? I'm diminished when I I don't I don't feel self-conscious about it necessarily But definitely You've also got it like read the room too I mean like if you're just going to some like workplace thing and it's you know that the people you work with don't dress up like that And this is not an occasion to do that. Then you shouldn't show up in like a three-piece suit I wouldn't do that, you know, you kind of like read the room and Adjust your you know trajectory accordingly. So I guess when we went we went to one restaurant during the pandemic when it was 25% Capacity and we went to Petit Louis again and we did it for our anniversary and They're mostly people sitting outside and we got our table and there was maybe one or two other tables in that side of the restaurant And I definitely was self-conscious wearing a vintage Like cocktail dress would have all these feathers and everything all over some of them are still in the car So that I'd say I felt a little Overdone, but we it was like the one time we went out and Ten months now It's fine Question number 15 would love to hear your thoughts on athleisure replacing traditional style this one's To you mostly because I think previously you mentioned something about athleisure Yeah, it wasn't really into it Well, I think athleisure is I've hated that term I think and there's different ways you can look at it I still don't wear leggings out in public other than when I walk the dog or yoga pants, whatever but Since the end of the summer now that it's fall and it's getting colder. I'm definitely More into it like I've kind of again. We're in a pandemic You know if I don't have client meetings I'm definitely wearing sweatpants and more casual and but I think the twist now is I like to get like sets if I'm going to get Like the Adidas Ivy Park collection I got the top and the bottom when I tried to get it in January I only got the jacket and I don't want to keep it. I want to like this set so I feel like if it's More put together or just not like you're not wearing like dirty sweatpants out. It's fine I don't know if that's athleisure now. I think it's like again It's dependent on the time and place like, you know, I like the lululemon stuff that I have I wouldn't wear it to work or I'll wear it out to like run errands or whatever, but that's kind of the The extent of it but to the question of like athleisure replacing traditional style I mean, I don't that's not I hope not. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Where are we? What is Robin's favorite outfit of yours? Feel like I answered this I think it's probably your wedding tux Not because it was the wedding. It was just it was very you I mean you have a ton of me to measure stuff now, but it fit you perfectly The the way you were at the wedding versus how you were when you were in London and you had the scruff and everything with it It's it's classic. It's Elegant and you look really good in it. Thanks Number 17. What is my favorite outfit of Robbins? Oh all of them I Mean you you looked gorgeous on Our wedding day, but you that's not addressed that you well the one this the second one that you wore My favorite outfit of yours. I mean I could say like this one I know what it is what genes and a belt and that short sleeve blue cashmere Yeah, it's yeah, I put on your like classic. Yeah, that's exactly like what I was saying in the beginning like just simple You look really good like that Okay question number 18 what is one quality that you see in each other that the world could use to be a better place for you, I would say your drive and integrity if you say you want to do something just for yourself you do it you're Dedicated you see it all the way through. I have 20 business plans I want to do and I've like started that each of them and I Just I can't do it And just the integrity so kind of similar but like if you tell someone else you're going to do something Minus the minus cleaning the house You you follow through like if you tell us if Rob says can you do something like you're going to do it? It's not like you just ignore it or it falls through that's Tegrity is very important. Thanks, and the world needs more of it For you, I would say It's the amount that you care for Care for and the concern you have for other people, especially An empathy you show for people and though your willingness to want to help them Especially people that don't have As great a situation you want to always improve people's lives I'm doing better picking and choosing who gets that you know people who will appreciate it. Okay Question number 19. What are Robin's thoughts about you collecting expensive watches? I Mean Kind of you it's not that you collect expensive watches. It's the How quickly you'll go into investing it It's not like it's like one every now and then now it's like it's settled down But in the beginning you went from you had no watches to one and then you want another one another one Like that piece was hard for me, too. It's a sickness Yeah, like I I have a shopping problem, but it that the The amount that each piece was I'm all for investing but the amount you're investing into the amount each one was was a little Like I just couldn't I understood the action but from an expense perspective. It was shocking silly to me shocking. Yeah You didn't always tell me how much things cost. I didn't know. Okay And I didn't research because I didn't want to know All right, this was also before we got married and things like merged So All right question number 20 my girlfriend My girlfriend will admit that I'm the more stylish one. Where can she find some style inspiration for herself? Depends on her style. Yeah, I Think Instagram That it's probably going to evolve over time But right now that's where I typically get my inspiration used to be Pinterest and it would be like saving things there Reading certain magazines, but like street style used to be where I got inspiration But now it's kind of turned into following certain people on Instagram Who are your favorite people? It depends like I look our friend on I think she has classic style on her 9-5 chic she has had the same style I wouldn't not the same things but it's you can go back into her archive and it it looks like it would still Work now Taylor to Massey Hill a little funkier. She's not I used to love her street style more now You know, she's business woman her mom. It's not totally the same crystal Bic. I love. It's very editorial She does more of like shoots and not necessarily like she's walking around New York in these gowns, but I love the The time and energy she puts into that I feel like it depends once you it's like you have to find someone and then you kind of find people that they follow and that they Appreciate and you just kind of expand All the people you mentioned I'll have like a very sort of classic and more timeless Style to them. What about Jamie back? Like her hers is more of like I'm inspired by her photography There's a girl that I started following recently. I think it's signed Blake in Chicago her styles I'll really find I found her through crystal Bic Yeah, I follow too many people now, I don't I don't think it's one person specifically it just like everyone connected I feel like I could make a comment and put some Instagram Okay, do that. Yeah well if we There are a lot of questions that came in and if we actually didn't get to your question this time It it's either because we answered it in a previous video, which you can watch It's right over there. We're gonna be doing more of these in the future So there are definitely some questions that weren't answered in that first one that we will get to in the next one
