Marcus Troy - Big Blogger, Big Icon.


If you look up blogging in the dictionary, you will see a picture of Marcus Troy. The Montreal native has a truly unique blog. The numerous sections such as My Life - which makes me recognise my goal, Berry - which inspires me and Footwear - which has me going crazy are definate reasons why I check his blog everyday and why you should as well. 

When I Delicious from Marcus Troys website I tag it as icons. As, although I have not followed his carEer and fallen in love with his essence as much as I have Kanye, or gained a connection and mentor as I have with Jason Mayden, he very quickly has become that person I would love to be. Someone I aspire to be. 

As much as I love his My Life section on his blog, where when seeing this picture my jaw literally dropped. 



Being in a position to have that upon your door step, the ULTIMATE hook up, means you are highly regarded, respected but more importantly good at what you do, after all Marcus Troy is a Fashion Journalist by nature. 

But this is what really struck me about Mr Troy.

Live From The Berry

April 01st, 2009

There is nothing wrong with dreaming big! There is nothing wrong with chasing your dreams! There is nothing wrong with wanting to be known or popular or even famous! There is nothing wrong with wanting the best perks and benefits from what life has to offer. There is nothing wrong with striving for a better life! There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a billionaire! There is nothing wrong with having pride in your product and being a fan of yourself or work! There is nothing wrong with wanting to fly first class, and eat the best food and hang with the best people. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be the best!
There is something wrong when people tell you, you can’t do it and you believe them!
Marcus Troy

After I read this I knew I have to chase my dream. It's a shared goal by anyone who wants to aspire in their life and its how true icons start out.  Your make your fantasy - reality, you work hard and succeed, you aim and achieve.

Although you tell yourself all these things look at your icons, listen to them.

It's like what Jason Mayden [Jordan Brand Senior Footwear Designer] said to me, 

"Positive words act as the foundation to our dreams"
