Outfit Architecture…

Tuesday, November 20th, 2012

Just like Victorian architecture, God is in the details.

I’m popping tags this week on another Indian blanket button-down so I assembled the pieces I wanted to use to connect the dots within my Lifestyle programme

The Navajo and midwestern themed prints are killing the game this season. These joints aren’t built for pedestrian pony Lifestylers tho’. These prints are for the vets out here who don’t want to talk with new fans, but with the old heads still in the game.

I fux with this down filled Elmer Fudd hat after Just Blaze told me that he didn’t see anyone else holding this piece.

Blackstronaut Foamposites.

Breezed thru the RL outlet in Stroudsburg, PA last month and copped this button-down. I saw some sweaters I was fuxin’ with, but this shirt as well as a Navajo blanket shirt were in XXL and I needed to add some b-downs to the repertoire. The cuffs on this shirt are hardbody.

However, my favorite I.T. in this ‘fit is the Black Label scarf from an RL sample sale last year. I actually bought two(2) since they were the only things I could afford.

Outfit Architecture…

I haven’t been too motiv8d to post Outfit Architecture drops because I thought it was getting boring. But when the homey Meyhem Lauren graciously allowed me to preview some of his upcoming work and he namechecked Outfit Architecture my whole demeanor switched up. Thanks Meyhem.

I’m in these streets try’na copp the Air Jordan Retro IX ‘Olive’ this weekend and this is my ‘fit. I popped tags on the Polo RL Millrose varsity jacket. I love this shit for all its inherent swag. You couldn’t tell me I wasn’t in the Olympics when I put this I.T. on. Or at least at the Millrose Games at the Armory.

I figured I should break down the components of the outfit that stand out to me and helped push my attitude to 1000. We gonna do the drafting of this emotional outfit from head to toe…

My fitted spot is Poleberg out in Queens. They ain’t gonna sell you a cap as cheap as they would to me personally, but if you mention my name they will cut you a disco.

Big shouts to Bobby Fresh for the tee and all the joints he produces to rock with your favorite sneakers. Get fresh, or get left

These are the bands that make me dance. SneakerTubeTV has the red, white and blue 3-pack and the bonus is that the clear white joint actually glows in the dark. Swerve.

There is nothing more important to your building than your footings. That is your foundation. You already KNOW how the kid feels about ‘Detroit Pistons’ retro 6s. And there you have it.

Cranberry Swag Lifestyle…

Friday, November 16th, 2012

In another week you are gonna be visiting your fam and eating that tryptophan turkey with the cranberry sawse. I wish everybody has a safe holiday with their family and friends.

I’m still putting I.T.’s on my holiday wish list hoping that R.L. has one of those everlasting online sales for Black Friday.

Navajo print hoodie since I have the socks to match this

I need another ‘USA’ themed I.T. like I need a whole in my brain but I like the colorblocking on this rugby enough to add it to the archives

I liked the blue of this piece and the details at the wrist and shoulder yoke. R.L. seems to be O.D.’ing with all these nationalistic rugby jerseys especially since these don’t even represent the sovereign colors of Spain. Kanye shrugs tho’ since I will be having international swag

Several of these pilot bombers have been issued over the last few years. I fux with the coyote fur collar on the older versions. I think R.L. newest vibe isn’t to use actual fur.

Road Trip Rap…

Wednesday, November 14th, 2012

Roc Marciano’s ‘Reloaded’ is the kind of rap music you would listen to if you were making an overnight run from Harlem to Richmond. This CD is chock full of the interstate highway hustler’s after-hours anthems.

Roc Marci’s production is once again spartan yet sample driven. Roc wants you to her the engine purr, and by engine I mean his lyricism and flow. I’d like to see Rap Genius transcribe this man’s jams. Ha.

Get a feel for the music with this clip and copp the new Roc Marciano album. That move right there may not make you a rap genius, but at least you won’t be one of these rap dummies.

Ralph Lauren is crowdsourcing his latest project…

BRING IT BACK

RL will be rRetro’ing vintage styles like Nike does their original Air Jordan shoes. You can vote here to see which bear meme goes back into holiday production.

I’m voting on Casual Wednesday bear.
