Outfit Architecture…

Monday, October 28th, 2013

Salutes to high school. For most of us that will be the greatest experience of our lives. It was in Brooklyn Technical High School I developed my keen sense of swag.

I love to pull colors together from all walks of life.

The Lifestyle is all declarative with sashes and numerals all over.

Royal blue and yellow are my two favorite complementary colors. The blue is the steady sound while the yellow brings the pop.

Peep the Brazil series mundial de beisbol chapeau. Excuse my fake patois, that’s a New Era pro model for the Brazil state team in the Worlds Series.

The kicks are Air Jordan retro 5s in a colorway representing Michael Jordan’s alma mater Elmsley Laney high school in North Carolina. I needed these desperately along with the Shanghai 5s to fully express my blue/yellow outfit architecture.

Snow Shovel Lifestyle…

Sunday, October 27th, 2013

I’m still scrambling to score that 2013 bear sweater, but while I keep finding frustration from my flourishing I’m copping knits for my holiday snow shoveling swag.

Yes! I will be wearing shorts in the snow because these socks are BOSS!

Still In The Planning Stages…

Tuesday, October 15th, 2013

Don’t think because I get free pairs of boots from Timberland that I don’t still spend my bread on boots… FROM TIMBERLAND. I peeped these joints at Dr.Jays and they intrigued me. The plan was to rock these with the hat pictured above that I ordered from Lids.com along with the new Polo bear sweater.

It turns out that Lids is having inventory issues and Macy’s won’t tell me if and when they are selling the bear sweater. Just like real architecture, outfit architecture requires planning, and most importantly, funding. At least my foundation (footings) are secured. We’ll have to wait and see if this ‘Fit ever gets built.

THE NEW CLASSICS…

Wednesday, October 9th, 2013

Ralph Lauren really put in work with the Modern Explorer series from a couple of years ago. So much that the series is returning with all new pieces for the Fall/Winter ’13 season.

As you might would expect there are some fire I.T.’s in this run. Along with the 2013 Holiday series there’ll be several ‘Must Cop’ joints for your archives. I’ve pulled down a few…

Short sleeve ruggedness. I buy s/s knits in the wintertime so I can rock them with a thermal or henley shirt underneath.

I have been OD with the native American motifs for a minute but I also can immediately think of a murderous ‘fit with this shawl collar knit as the centerpiece

This eagle chest knit goes so hard in the paint especially when you pull out the hood on fools. I’m calling this item a ‘Must Cop’.

I also FUX with this rugby hardbody. I love the colorblocking and the flag patch on the back is John Blaze, or should I say, Just Blaze.

Native New Yorker Lifestyle…

Saturday, September 28th, 2013

Chocolate Snowflake and I are gonna go fux up the city for my new year. The mansion on 72nd is the first stop. I’ma see if they got any XXL exec bears left. Then Century21 for a sox swag run and maybe a Marshall’s to pick up some Mets’ gear to celebrate Mike Piazza Day at Shea tomorrow.

I had to copp this heirloom quality handknit. Just Blaze rocked it at the ComplexTV set and the shit was vainglorious with details.
