Skater Boy

 

I ran into Joe yesterday and noticed his swagged out look. I thought he was from Cali with this swag of his, but he happens to live in Jersey. His jean jacket, which he thrifted, is to die for. I love how he added the buttons, just like Ayanna (below) did to make it look original, vintage, and just a touch of their own style. I feel like the taupe suede shoes go perfectly with the different shades of blue and the dark pants. The taupe color is actually perfect for any season. Also, his gray and maroon snapback from www.karmaloop.com sets everything in place. We actually shop at a lot of similar places. I'm not sure where he thrifts, but you can get items this good at Buffalo Exchange, Beacon's Closet, and many other places mainly in Brooklyn. Joe also works at Aldo on 5th Ave, so he gets that good 50% discount on their wonderful shoes. Check him out with his skateboard.

Jersey By Nature

     My fellow Jersey girl , Ayanna may be little, but definitely stands out in the crowd .Not only is she rocking some of the trendiest pieces for Fall/Winter , including my favorite her olive green high-waist pants. If any of you have not noticed this 80's inspired fashion has and continues to make a strong come back. What I also love about this outfit is the mixing of fabrics, and colors .Adding a pop of color, like Ayanna’s shirt, to a essentially dark outfit is a great way to add some life to your ensemble, but also allows you to use some of your summer pieces for the fall/winters season. To complete her outfit she threw on a jean jacket, creating a more casual, yet vintage look. Let us not forget the combat boots, gold broach, jungle inspired bracelets, and hair accessory.

Beards & Blazers

Mens look of the day: Business man, student, and designer, Clarence, surprised me with his hipster/classy business look today . Normally, I'd see Clarence sporting a more outrageous, yet very put together look. From his fur and print vests, to his salmon colored pants.You would have never guessed he was from Wisconsin with his NY style, he pulls off everyday. To top his look, he dyed his hair this wonderful blonde color , but being the outrageous person he is, he hops to continue his hair journey and go bleach white. On top of that he raps, sings, and is an alumni of the organization Jack and Jill of America. I love his craziness with all the fun fashion he wears. Check out his thrifted look.

 

Genius Sounds Family

Brandon Fulton is a hot new hip- hop artist along with his fellow fam, Genius Sounds Family. GSF consists of five artists who released an album in September 2011: WellRED, Soul, Alpha Memphis, Vega, And Noah Bility. When Brandon first told me he rapped I didn't believe him because he seemed too innocent, but his innocence kind of flows with his music. This album has a Lupe (The Cool/Food & Liquor), Nas, Common mixed with old-school Kanye flow. Personally, it kind of reminds me of some of the Chicago artists with that smooth rap. Anyone going down that path, will reach success. 

Brandon can also model, too. Take a look at his pics. He is actually wearing a NY Yankees Fitted, 10Deep Jacket, Gucci belt, Palladium canvas boots, and graphic tee. Rapping in style ;)

@TheGoodStock

Jamaal Malone aka Pharrell is the leading sales rep for Goodstock clothing. Goodstock is a Virgina based clothing company founded by Printist Parker and Jayme Pounders. Their clothing consists of hoodies, tanks, tees, crewnecks, and logo stickers. However, they take it beyond just selling clothes. They have teamed up with PLNDR and @AlphaMemphis and will be hosting events in the near future. (details below)

 

I recently took some photos of Jamaal modeling the original Goodstock tee. He matched his tee with a pair of 10Deep black cuffed plaid pant, 10Deep cap, and Palladium canvas boots. 

 Jamaal is doing a good job getting the company out there, especially through the St. Johns community and New York area by sporting the clothes around campus and taking pictures advertising the brand. They have exploited themselves through their Tumblr, Twitter's, official website, Facebook, and online store. (links posted below) Look out for their upcoming Fall/Winter line.

 This Friday (Oct. 28) they will be hosting a Fall fashion and art show in the Rolf Benz Studio in downtown Boston.

D.I.Y. Studs and Spikes

 Michelle, junior, walked in class yesterday with cool studs on her high top white Converse. I know that you can get those custom made, but Michelle designed them herself without looking cheap. She made them look expensive as if Converse had a studded and spiked line.

Michelle stated that she ordered the studs from an online store. (link posted below) but she designed the shoes and backpack herself. I'm sure that you can also buy the studs from a crafts store, as well.
Apart from providing studs and spikes, the website also shows you how to design anything from jeans to belts. Check it out.

Queen of the Jungle

 

 

Hi guys , its Ariane giving you our second look of the day, a young lady named Shantoel. Shantoel is Saint John's Jr. , and also aspiring designer. Her striking blonde hair, and faux black fur vest was the first thing to catch my eye. As many of you may know, fur vest have come to the mainstream as one of the must-have fall/winter items. Pairing her outfit with her Jefferey Campbells, she wore a red hat that goes with cheetah print any season from J.C. Penny. Another print to add to her look was the alligator messenger bag. She bought this from Top Shop/ Top Man NYC, which she uses for her school books and all other necessary things. I love the fact that she wore solid black part velour/ part spandex leggings to settle all of the prints. What I found so interesting was that she incorporated three different textured prints and made it work so well. Welcome to the jungle.
