Swagger Don !

This is something I picked up from the Yeezy Campout. I said before about the eclectic personal style of the people of Carnaby Street. I could literraly sit there all day with a camera and snap. But more than the visual it was the converstations about fashion mainly kicks that really grabbed me.

A guy came early on Saturday morning - expecting to cop a pair - JOKER! (sidebar: little did we know though....) And he was talking about this pair of shoes, that pair, that collaboration, that colourway! For once I couldn't pass comment! Waiting for them Yeezy's made me realise how.... not only small my sneaker collection was - 30 by the way.

But how if I'm really serious - I might need to step my game up!
That being said for what I have - I AM HAPPY AND I STILL GOT PAIRS PEOPLE COULD ONLY DREAM OF !

But he mentioned these "swagger joints" and he wouldn't stop going on about them and I can see why!
...... Next to the Yeezy's the most stylistic and truly swagger-ful trainer I have seen!
These MAKE a statement!
Check em out!

And before you ask - they are the same trainer!








They have that Jordan One feel that I love and the high tounge is serious!
Peep the full info here. These are definately ones to watch!

Fresh Summer IV

As unpredictable as the British weather is, you still gotta look GOOD! And if possible cater for all watery, windy, sunny fluctuations!

Presenting the fourth post of Fresh Summer - Pants / Trousers / Chino's

H&M Light Chino.

I tried these on the other day and was gutted they didnt fit right... The pockets are a bit baggy which for me gives them a bad shape.

The advantages are they are nice and light, can go with everything tops and kicks wise and turn up nicely at the bottom.

I REALLY like! These Chino Shorts come straight from Garb Store. I found their site randomly and am oh so glad! All there pieces are perfect! Slightly pricey however, these come in at £110!

Next!

Maybe my brain is in Yeezy mode now - although when isn't it! But all three Chino's from Levi's Fenom go perfectly with all three colourways of the Air Yeezy's. The black pair especially with the pink accents on the pockets. Nice!

One last piece from Levi's Fenom their cropped denim jeans!

Next Post - FOOTWEAR ! Oh boy! I have a feeling I'm going to excel myself! Coming soon!

Revision....

It's a tough task... but you HAVE to do it!
Not fashion related, although I wore my Yeezy's today but this post does relate to my lifestyle.
Occupation: Student. Degree: Hustle and Hardwork!

I went to a really informative revision session today which makes a change from the rest. All the rest tell you what NOT to do and not what I SHOULD do. By that I don't mean the answers but like how to approach a question, tackle it properly and feel like you have answered it, something I struggle with greatly!
Good old Early Modern England put me straight though!

" An essay must begin with and idea, an argument, something you want to say. We might call this conceptualization of a historical problem. Don't be too narrowly confined by the exact terms of the question, as if there is a model answer, the perfect essay, out there in space; there is not. Use the question as a spring-board. Avoid 'yes-no', 'true-false', type answers. You must think for yourself in an original and creative way, and then express those thoughts"

Revising with Adam after helped as well! Nice one Hickmott!

St Alfred's Air Yeezy Drop.

The grass is definately greener on the other side or 3000 plus miles away! 

THE CONCEPT IS SO DOPE! 

Air Yeezy shoe = Air Yeezy store! AMAZING!

I love the crowd pictures of people waiting for the Air Yeezy's. Mainly to check peoples style but just because I was someone in that crowd too. 

Peep the full article here.

Air Yeezy Part One...

The Circle.

I arrived at size? Carnaby Street, rather late and rather unprepared! 

I had images of long queue's, tons of people, mayhem and madness but I was confronted with the exact opposite - everyone was sitting in a circle! The calm before the storm maybe... Or simply people patiently waiting. Patiently waiting, in itself is an understatement as people had been patiently camping for two days now. Camping, waiting, sitting for greatness. 

They were here! The sophomore colourway of the Air Yeezy's! 

After I missed out on the first drop I was more than determined to get my hands on the second batch! Being away from all civilisation at University in Norwich, there is no way I could get to London as quick as I wanted and with revision taking the upmost priority, I had to ask the biggest favour a daughter could ever ask their mother. 

DA DA DA DAHHHH G MUM TO THE RESCUE ! ! ! ........ Of all the things I have asked my mother for in my 20 years of life this had to be the most.... outrageous! The most unplausible and the most demanding! For those of you who don't know my mum went down to Carnaby Street at 7am in the morning and waited till I reached at 7pm..... ! Mother G ! 

Back to the circle! I think Sam said it best about all of us.. All different people, different walks of life but with one main thing in common - our love for kanye, our passion for fashion and the WANT for the Air Yeezy's! 

It was a serious thing! Glen and John had come down from Wales two days before, same as Spencer aka Kennedy and Olivia! 

All for a pair of trainers? HELL YEAH!

As the night got on... and I mean the NIGHT - Carnaby Street definitely came alive! People dying for that Friday night drink and people all the more eager to ask us what we were doing! 

Swear down, if I had a pound for ALL the times someone asked us "Excuse me what are you doing" ... "Oh trainers - you are crazy" or... "Your all a bunch of capitalists!" I could have just got enough to pay for my pair.... But it was alright still... There was NO hassle from randomers. 

Just people in the circle.....

It only takes one. One person to start something, spoil it, hype something up and just be a general AAHHHH ! And there was one in our circle - Superman. It was just silly, pointless and shameful to be quite honest and really the only down point of the whole experience. I hate stuff like that, hype for nothing, hype when it's not needed. From what I've heard about 1948 and what I have seen through blogs worldwide about the drop - we had it pretty EASY! 

Thirteen people - thirteen pairs! THERE WAS NO NEED! 

.......... Moving on! 

Sitting in the circle and meeting new people was great. Talking to Michael and Sam about brands and labels was really interesting as we discussed how Kanye was making his way in the world. How making personal select pieces for his Pastelle range was definitely costing a bomb. How he was actively taking notes from the big boys in the game like Pharrell and Nigo. 

All this made me think... From my vantage point I could observe the life of Carnaby Street, a place overwhelmed with fashion and unique personal style. A photographer's dream. 

Shout out to Michael Antolin whose pictures I will be using for the next blog post. 

I seriously need a decent camera, one that takes quality pictures and one that will definitely capture the moment just like Michael done.

Part Two coming SOON!
