You have to respect people who have drive. Breaking into any industry is difficult, but working your way into fashion, music, politics or journalism? Those are goals that can only be reached with hard work, talent, having the right connections and a little luck.

Check out this ridiculously clean cardigan from Billionaire Boys Club. It’s a bright red, knitted sweater, complete with black trim along the cuffs and leather patches on the chest and pockets. They’ve placed BBC logos on the chest and on the right sleeve. It also has further detailing on the back of the sweater, where “Billionaire Boys Club” is knitted into the fabric beneath a black cross.

I really don’t have much to say about BBC’s HEART & MIND bow-tie, other than the fact that I think it is just. damn. adorable. It has the words “heart” and “mind” embroidered along the sides of the bow-tie, with minuscule pictures of a heart and mind on the actual “bow.”
 
 
Pair this with a crisp, white or navy button down and pretty smile, and be prepared every woman within a ten foot radius to flirt shamelessly. Myself, included. Tee hee…
