Nike SB "Chalk" Commercial

Sorry the very edge of the screen got cut off but you don't miss anything.

B Sided The Artificial Sneaker

If you are looking for a lighter summer shoe with the same swag of a sneaker or boat shoe? Then check out these espadrilles from B Sided presented by The String Republic. I think they are so clever and are really comfortable I have purchased a pair of String Republic espadrilles from karma loop a while back. Here is the idea of this brand:

Jammin' Outside

Perfect Song for a steamy Sunday. Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin always comes out with good jams this one I just recently ran into. Enjoy.

Use Somebody Cover

This cover of the Kings of Leon song "Use Somebody" is a great excuse to listen to the same song twice in a row. It is by Bat for Lashes.

Watch Out

Accessories are clutch and what better to compliment an outfit than a nice looking watch. Here are a few different brands and styles that are relatively inexpensive all of these options are under a 150 dollars. Not bad for good quality.

Alicia Keys ft Drake Un-thinkable (Remix)

This remix of Alicia Key's "Unthinkable" is very catchy and I was feeling soulful. Give it a listen. Later.

More Light Painting

Last night I took a stab at some more light painting. This time I played with the flash and background a bit as well as the bulb feature. Here are some of my favorite shots:

Tried some graffitti script didn't work out too well but I'll work on it.

What's up?

I got angsy here what else can I say.

With this house I thought of Alice and Wonderland when her feet are sticking out of the windows and doors.

Attempt at Light Painting

Last night I attempted to take some 'Light Painting'

photos from my new camera and this is what I got:

The photo above is my first attempt at it. I was shooting with a Nikon D3000 and used Manual Mode, opened the aperture fairly wide (this one was shot at f/5), set my camera to a long shutter speed(10 seconds), and used my cell phone light to scribble with. Obviously not that effective but the evidence is clear enough.

Next I use a flashlight in a darker space, but found that the light from the flashlight was exposing the surrounding area and myself so that is why you can see more in the picture. I attempted to write my name, you can kind of see the backwards B on the left side of the cluster.

Then I got bored and decided to see what would happen if I took a shot of Sheridan in the same settings as cars drove by. I ended up with this which I thought was pretty cool.

Chanel Shudder Shades?

Apparently they came out with a pair, they are pretty sick, I would definitely consider the investment.

Sweet Store in NYC

Article today in the New York Times about a company from the Bronx New York that specialize in custom clothing to match your sneakers. It's a cool article I would suggest giving it a look. Along with the article is a recent song discovery of mine. I think it has a good vibe for Sunday afternoon. Get after it.

Social Primer x Brooks Brothers Bowties

Fashion Blog Social Primer collaborated with Brooks Brothers to create a line of 16 bow ties for the summer. They are all extremely preppy and include an array of vibrant colors and classic patterns that combine to create a plethora of classy ties. The bow ties all include a preppy two tone effect due to different fabric patterns on either side. I love them all I think the worst part of this collection would be choosing one. Here's what I have narrowed it down to:

What could be more crisp than a new bow tie for a summer rendezvous.

Nike Air Lunar 180

These Nikes are tight. Love the Colors.
