Bag Game, Shoulder work, I don't think I will go shopping again lol Every thing I see now I rather practice creating it than buying it off of a rack. These are just the prototype testers because they show the lack of experience. But I got twiggy up for a african print duffle in spring. Who got next?

Boredom = Creativity

This what happens sometimes when I get bored and have a little time on hand, I make stuff, most of the time with no real purpose or intent other then the fact I enjoy making stuff...sooooo I made a quick short on denim since I am infatuated with the fabric. Enjoy.

Process: Red Wing Boot Company

One of my new found passions is seeing how things are created, or the process behind some great ideas come about. This video on Red Wing, by Complex Mag, gives an in-depth look into how their signature boots are created from start to finish.

Timberland x Rag & Bone

Now I must admit, I haven't really followed Timberland for real since dudes were rocking the 6 inch wheat joints back in high school. But with the introduction of models like the EarthKeeper and collaborations with some dope menswear brands like below, Timberland has stepped their image up past the simple work boot stigma that it used to have. The collaboration with Rag & Bone was a definite win in my book, a good sturdy boot with classic and subtle styling. The bottom two definitely caught my out of the bunch, but truthfully I'm feeling all of them.

IN SEARCH OF.......

F*ck quantity, I'm about quality, even though I have a decent amount of accessories. If you know me, you know I love accessories. Such as bags, beanies, watches, and glasses. It's crazy because when I was younger I freaking hated wearing glasses, but now I can't live without them. One, because I can't see worth $hit, and two, I personally think I look weird without them. Last month I copped out on two new pair of frames, D&G tortoise print and a pair of blue wayfarer Ray Bans. Every year when its time for me to get an exam, I try to pick out something I have never had. Spike Lee has inspired me this time around. I have always noticed his frames, but this particular pair he was rocking at the All Star game really caught my eye, check em out........

Those $hits are cold! The perfect circle look is beasting, plus the gold strip on the side really kills it. Yesterday, while looking through my daily sites I came across this collab with Illeteva x Opening Ceremony. I need the black pair bad!!! check it......

Of course Im going to knock the shade lenses out and replace them with clear ones. YALL KNOW HOW I DO......HELP ME FIND THEM PLZ

IAMME Fox Tails

My Iamme image is unfolding in front of your eyes. Yesterday my Fur Fox tail key chains came in. I think it is important to not just wear shirts and pants and think that constitutes complete style and fashion. "Ya Gotta Coordinate!" Accessories are essential to any and every look, no matter how simple or elaborate. Fur adds luxury and flare to your look.

Steez!!!

First 2010 installment of Steez, you can probably tell by this post that i have a "slight" obsession with denim lol. When it comes to styling I tend to go for darker/earthy/subtle tones in a palette, don't know why really, I guess i just feel if you can make what appears to be mundane and ordinary to others actually pop and work well and still stand out that's where styling truly shows its best. Anywhoo on to the fits...

Combination of navy blue and khaki never goes out of style, now the 3/4 cropped pants isn't something everyone can pull off but the Danner Light Boots with the red laces set it off quite nicely.


Travis from StreetEtiquette shows why tweed still isn't out of style, classic styling and the right mixture of greens and magentas work effortlessly together.

No matter how many times you see a fit like it, a nice pair of denim and clean kicks is always a win. But to everyone reading, its all about proportions when it comes to the denim. If you cop some really nice denim and something just isn't right about how it looks, find a good tailor and get the fit right. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a potentially dope fit go wrong with some horrible fitting pants/denim. Oh and the touch of gray/red in the 5 panel is nice break in the sea of blues and blacks

BKC black denim jacket, what more can you say ,their attention to detail is top. I'm definitely digging the small details in the fit overall as well, the pocket square, multiple sized beads, nicely wrapped scarf, all come together perfectly.

All i have to say is I NEED a pair denim in this color, man man man...smh PIFF. The classic tall leather wallet is just screaming detail also...

Leather up top, leather down low....such a simple fit but still so clean. Leonardo Da Vinci once said "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"

Once again navy on khaki never fails, and the denim jacket is a timeless piece that can work in various situations, I need to get one fast!

Oh and this is just a little something for my denim fans....don't sleep on classic lee, just have to find the right model.

Twiggy will digg this... Hellz x Vans

Hellz X Vans from HELLZ on Vimeo.

If its one thing i digg more then dope products/design, then it has to be the process behind the making of it. This video takes you in a little more in depth then what you normally see when it comes to seeing how collaborations and shoes come about. Btw her studio looks pretty freaking ill, i cant wait till have my money right to get my spot looking the way its need to be....anywhoo the cinematography in this vid ILL as well. Its reminiscent of more of documentary style shooting, wait till i get my money right....ooo ooo oooh ....lol excuse that last part.

SVPERB Chapter II : Lords of War

The homies over at SVPERB drop their second line and show that they're here to stay. Their Romanesque inspired designs are clean and well executed and along with a set of hoodies, crews, and tshirts they drop some ill caps along with it.

Nike V-65

Nike has released a new edition to the market of varsity jackets out there. The jacket is a combination of a M-65 shell with the silhouette of a varsity jacket, hence the name v-65. I personally am digging the jacket a lot the combination of the two elements is pulled off nicely and the colors chosen for the first release are ILL. Now prepare your pockets though if you plan on copping this joint because its gonna set you back $560, but the only available place to be right now is Honeyee (Japanese Only) so if you have a connect or someone that knows Japanese hit them up. If you want more info or pics on it click [HERE]

p.s reading that price made me
