It was a nice day off roaming the streets of Silver Lake and checking out some good shops such as Mohawk General (they now have two separate stores dividing mens and womens) and I had my eye on everything.. in both stores. This jacket is great for summer time since it's so light weight, it's perfect for those breezy LA summer nights. Orange is also a great summer color even though it is a difficult one to wear often, but this jacket is clearly an exception. Also, I recently just picked up these A. Wang shoes and I am in love.

Ernest's style is one that I am crazy about. He is always on point with the latest Mens fashion (including tons of Rick Owens). Accessorizing for men is slightly harder than for women, but Ernest has a pretty good jewelry game going on.

These overalls are the greatest! People get confused when they see me wearing this, thinking it's two different pieces that I somehow threw together (Don't give me that much credit!). But it is a great outfit to just throw on, while being pretty comfortable as well. I am definitely in this overall craze at the moment and I'm pretty sure it will be lasting for a while.

This Led Zeppelin tee is probably one of my greatest finds. It is still slowly deteriorating, seeing that it has already had a few miles on it, but it makes the tee that much better. These DVF square-printed pants are also pretty great. I am not a huge fan of polka dot print so I was a little worried when making the purchase because it's so similar to a square print from far away, but I am more than happy that I brought them into my life.

Grover's style is one that I admire. He has a great eye for a solid pair of denim while pairing a prime thin vintage tee for the perfect match. He recently just wiped the dust off this new watch and brought it back in the game again. Also, this burgundy color Redwing boot is a must have.

ZANEROBE! It's definitely one of my favorite Menswear brands right now. They always have such reliable prints, and I'm a sucker for a good print. It's so good! I have been wanting to get my hands on these bad boys for a while now and I am beyond stoked to have a couple pairs to keep me company. I was worried that these pants would not fit (being that most Mens pants would be too slouchy on a woman) but they surprisingly fit well. And they do have a slight drop crotch fit to them, so that helps. I also am regularly rolling up my sleeves or pants just to add a little extra to every outfit.

Well, here is my first Menswear post. You will be seeing more of these along the way, just to show you more of where I get my inspiration from. I feel that I am constantly complimenting men on their wardrobe, so I want to photograph them so you guys can also take a look for yourselves. Josh's style is super laid back but also with a kick. Adding Nikes to any outfit is his way of saying casual, but trendy. By the way, he's super stoked on his new kicks.. I wouldn't say otherwise.

Strolling the alleys of Melrose is always an interesting site (not always the best one). This Penfield lightweight all weather jacket is definitely one my favorites along with another great Topman purchase (I know you are probably wondering why I am wearing this jacket when it's scorching hot in LA, but I love a good jacket when it cools off at sundown). I love pairing this boyish top half with the perfect Levi's high waisted denim to make it still have a feminine feel. And who knew my sock matching skills would come in handy. My sunglasses sadly broke halfway through the shoot so I switched them out (If you were noticing two different looks).

Enjoying a nice sunny day on 3rd Street, where I discovered a tasty Mediterranean cafe, The Little Door. Definitely somewhere you should try out if you are in the area. I am currently having this crazy obsession with camouflage print and this vintage tee is one of those go to tees that I can always rely on. I am sure this will not be the last camo post you will see.
