So I ran into these awesome guys the other day & they were kind enough to let me photograph them in these awesome outfits. They all kind of just mesh so easily together with their outfits coordinating so well. Seeing a group of guys that all have great style is so inspiring! They all have so much ambition in the fashion world & it really is impressive. The Durimel twins are great Menswear fashion bloggers while staying behind the camera, & also being involved in collaborations with clothing brands, etc. Check out their website here. Donovan Briggs also carries his style well. He is one of the co-founders of VII Winners, which is an agency involving all things creative: menswear, photography, architecture, blogging, & music. You can check out his website here. These three individuals clearly live some fashion leading lifestyles. Definitely have a look at their sites & I hope you get just as inspired as I did!

These Acne jeans are by far one of my favorites in my closet. They are from a few seasons back, but I can't let them go just yet. And these Ferragamo's are amazing! Also, having more then one comfortably fitting soft tee is a major plus.

GLOOMY DAYZ

I gotta say that I kind of love this one day gloomy weather we're having in LA, since it never happens. I am definitely getting more anxious for actual fall weather to get here (which may take a while in Los Angeles). And I do have a thing for all kind of button downs.. So you will probably be seeing a lot more, especially with the colder weather coming. I can't wait to break out the long sleeves & some layering.

STONED

So I have been waiting & waiting to find a solid Stones tee.. I finally found this gem at Wasteland & I am beyond stoked to add it to my collection of vintage rock tees that are finally starting to pile up a little bit. And these Current Elliott shorts are seriously the best denim boyfriend fit.

PRINT ON PRINT

I really like the print on print look - like this camoflauge on polka dot combo. It adds so much more to a simple-looking outfit. And why not carry an ipad to add just a little bit more.

HAWAIIAN DAZE

SEPTEMBER ELEVENTH 2013

PHOTOS BY JENNA JOHNSON

This shirt was an amazing find! I haven't seen a solid women's hawaiian print button down until now. I always see guys wearing the coolest hawaiian shirts & always wished to find one in my size. Now, if I could only be on a tropical island somewhere..

NIKE FRESH

SEPTEMBER NINTH 2013

PHOTOS BY JENNA JOHNSON

Dressing casual on a day off is my favorite, especially on a hot day like this. These Nikes are the best thing that have ever happened to me (as far as a comfortable shoe). If you don't own a pair, I highly suggest that you fix that because you are never going to want to take them off.

SUPREME | SUPREAM

SEPTEMBER SIXTH 2013

FEATURING | JOHN CUETO

[WEARING: SUPREME COACH JACKET | VINTAGE 40'S HAWAIIN BUTTON DOWN | H&M SHORTS | VANS SNEAKERS]

I really like this laid back vibe & the colors are so good! Especially the old skool vans with the high socks, great combo. I'm pretty sure John's closet is full of Supreme & a ton of prints, so this won't be the last time you see this dude.

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

[WEARING: REHAB OVERALLS | KAIN TANK | CONVERSE SNEAKERS | ALEXANDER WANG ROCCO BAG | RAYBAN SUNGLASSES]

Overalls are the best & easiest go-to outfit. I'm not big on wearing dresses, so for myself, overalls are the next best thing. And the converse are a great combo making the outfit super laid back & casual. I usually have a hard time deciding whether to wear converse or oxfords in the morning, seeing that I own a variety of both, because each one gives an outfit a completely different feel.
