that's gucci!

I still don't have Gucci flip flops so I guess a borrowed visor will have to do.

Been experimenting a little bit more with looks lately after feeling inspired by a handful of internet & irl people, since I don't have a specific style its nice to try out new combinations and vibes. This what I put together today for a little hipster lunch in Silverlake...

Gucci visor x UNIQLO KAWS shirt x neutrals= grunge hypebeast?

 

Slow Build.

There's something comforting about the Steve Job's aesthetic. Simple, clean, and professional. This outfit gives me a similar vibe, its a little bit norm core, and a little bit like your dad trying to revive his youth.

This t-shirt is also from one of my favorite new brands, Slow Build Heavy Grind. After modeling for their latest collection a few weeks ago (the products and final images come out next week), I've been obsessed with their take on street-wear and might have to save up for one of the strappy jackets.

Distressed logo tee available now (the shirt I'm wearing comes out on February 2nd) 

And here's a peep at the second collection (you might just see me in this):

Neutral layers and oversized silhouettes are nothing remotely new or original to fashion this year, but this doesn't make them any worse (in my personal opinion). Paired together some of my most recent pieces into a very Northwest appropriate street-wear look. The best part about this whole outfit is also the price, I found this amazing vest at Nordstrom Rack yesterday for $30, way way less than some of the higher end pieces your favorite Instagram'ers are wearing. Success.

Sweatshirt: Urban Outfitters x Unif, Pants & Shoes: Zara,  Coat: Target



A great outfit makes you feel cocky. 

I don't mean cocky in a Scot Disick popping bottles in Miami way, I mean cocky in a Kanye at LAX "Do you see this coat?" kind of way. If there was a scientific way to measure how much better you feel wearing something you love I would do it just to prove this point. Why spend your life dressed in mediocre clothing when you can wear something creative & comfortable that feels a little bit more like you? Money in no way is required to have great style. I've found some of my most loved apparel at thrift shops and run of the mill fast fashion joints. So in the most cheesy and capitalist statement yet: just do it.

Ps. I've been loving mixing casual sportswear garb with more luxurious pieces lately. This black (faux) fur coat and Unif sweatshirt combo feels like the perfect mixture of cool and collected. Nothing outside the box, but still not another t-shirt and bomber jacket...

Baby why so cold?




Fall in Los Angeles.

As the sun withdraws to a lukewarm 70 degrees, the vibe of the city is a little off. Without the sweltering heat and continuous sunshine the City of Angels seems almost normal? Maybe even a little darker.

Frequent Fly, Never Trip









Rooftops are where I feel most comfortable. Being able to look at all the drama of the city from above makes me somehow feel at ease. Gorgeous views of skyscrapers and busy streets aren't so bad either! These shots are from one of these rooftop excursions a little while ago, this time on the bustling Broadway near the epicenter of downtown. 

 As for the clothing of choice there's something about this psychedelic print sweater that just feels right. Its a little bit crazy and out there but in the best way possible (not to mention the comfiest fabric ever). Paired with my uber cheap thrift shop pleated skirt and collar I think it turned out pretty cool. So don't trip, its just fashion.

Warhol's muse

Colors are a powerful thing. In the midst of the concrete jungle of downtown Los Angeles lays a little haven of relaxation. Bold yellow and purple buildings mix with radiant pink flowers to create an unexpected oasis. A definite breath of fresh air in a smoggy world.

This sweater feels iconic.

Now you might be thinking "How in the world can a giant collection of bright yellow yarn feel iconic?" Well I'll tell you. To me this sweater says I don't care in the best way possible. Yes, you will look at me when I wear it, no, I don't care how you feel about it. Maybe its a little Cobain, maybe its a little Travis Scott in its nonchalance, but nonetheless it feels right.

Just Peachy








I've always been a fan of the color pink, with its capability to be both equally feminine and powerful, I've just never really incorporated it into my daily wardrobe. But with this ribbed halter top from Topshop its easy to create a casual look with a bit of a lighter color; just add black.

One piece: H&M, Pants: Forever 21, Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters

No smoking, except when its in leotard form with open sides. Paired this cool, printed one piece from H&M today with black and white sweatpants for an easy, streamlined look that still has some visual interest. Nothing crazy but still fairly put together for a Monday afternoon (especially considering I spent the majority of the day doing homework). I'm also generally excited to see how this week ends up (and the next few weeks in general) as I had quite the exciting last few days. I  ended up shooting for someone I look up to in the fashion industry after going to a casting on Fairfax on Monday and a fitting in the valley on Wednesday (hint hint if you follow this person you might know who I'm talking about), and also shot a possible cover for FIDM's Mode magazine on Sunday. So stay tuned to see those shots in the future and don't forget to contact me if you want to collaborate on a project or an idea!
