Prowling the Promenade





Sup, guys! I was feeling kinda ferocious today when i woke up, among other things. So when i got dressed today i decided to channel my inner canine when i put on this sweater. It really resonates with me because of the of quiet intensity I always have going on. Lol. Anyway, had a great day down in Santa Monica shopping and prowling around the promenade. Ended the day by calming my ferocious sweet tooth with some Pinkberry :)

Deserted in LA
















Hey guys, hope you're enjoying this tuesday. Its HOT here in SoCal of course, nothing new. Today i was feeling bold and I  decided to wear this Alexander Wang see-through cable knit sweater. YES, see thorough! ;) Let me tell you, as hot as it is today, Ive found a way to wear black and manage to stay cool. The perforations of the sweater seem to draw in cool air as I'm walking so its like I've got built in central air with my sweater. It might work against me in the winter months, but who's thinking that far ahead anyway? My pants are Zanerobe's "Sureshot". They are the ultimate cross between sweatpants joggers, and denim, and thats no exaggeration. So comfortable and simple, they're definitely a staple for me. I was definitely feeling  chic af today. Thats all for today.

Nemis Clothing - "Bottom Up Tee"


Okay, so I was super excited to post this because Im hella excited for the shirt that Im wearing! Its the Bottom Up Tee - In Red from this dope brand called Nemis . I did a shoot for them a few weeks back and happened to snag this shirt as one of my spoils ;) 

Its crazy how it actually happened too. I was having a meeting with my lovely friend and fellow fashion blogger on the rise: Kristina Wilde, down in Santa Monica and happened to come across their brand on a Lookbook post. I remember yelling at Kristina: "OMG This brand is so dope!!" (insert 34 crying emoijis here). Next thing I know, I get contacted by the designer himself to schedule a shoot! I literally was like dying yo, like lungs collapsing. Such a twist of fate. 

 The gradient effect on the shirt definitely signals where this brand is headed; on the rise! Its super lightweight and comfortable and doesn't stick to you when you get hot. I think one of these would also look super cool as an oversized piece too. This brandis  definitely one to watch, their stuff is crazy sick!.  Anyhow, I paired the shirt with some cut up denim shorts I made from last year and some MJ Sunnies. Throw on some Air Maxes and you've got the perfect way to chill out here in these LA streets.
