Man of Style & Grace. Today I want to dedicate it to the legendary Sammy Davis Jr. He is truly an ICON and inspiration to fashion that is seen nowadays. Raise your hand if your parents or grandparents were Mr. Davis fans? *raises hands*
Wonder where your grandfather, uncle, father or brother learned his impeccable taste? My answer would be from the man who birthed cool, sexy and swag!! Well groomed and manicured men have been making their way through history books, can't you tell?!?
