Spring Prints in Bushwick

WE CAN FINALLY MAKE OUTFITS THAT WONT BE COVERED BY A JACKET!

And we are all kinds of excited about it. 

You know that DAY when the sun finally comes out and your skin can breathe in the sunshine for the first time? We live for it. 

We thirst for color...at first we thirst for colors as pastel and as bright as possible. Kealro broke out this pastel tropical wonder the first week of this year's spring. I LOVE. Vintage men's tropical shirts are super trendy...they kind of always have been a staple of American summer time but now the fun in the irony of wearing ridiculous tropical shirts have made them all the more prevalent on the streets.

This one reminds me of the interior of a Miami Subs. Just needs some flamingos.

Round glasses are baaaaaack. We're not mad at it. Kealro got these at American Apparel for $45 bucks. If you're broke like me, you can find super cheap, round sunglasses at anyyyy Chinatown booth or on St. Marks for like $10. Again, love the round. 

Kealro feelin it on the roof in Brooklyn. 

My Spring ootd was a little less color-inspired but certainly perfect for the 60 degree day. I finally broke out my semi-croptop I got at Topshop in London. The shirt has shrunk since I got it a few years ago BUT my high-waisted 100's from American Apparel totallllly has saved this shirt from retirement. It is giving me a Spring breeze I thought I'd nevah feel again!

Gold accessories duh. I want to be dripping in gold, you know? LOVE these sunglasses from American Apparel. Round enough and quirky enough and gold. 

Feelin it. 

Heyyyy Spring. 

Because we're obsessed.

What to Wear to a Lorde Concert

What to wear to a Lorde concert? Haley and Alex already had their outfits picked out for the night- Floral button-downs from American Apparel. Dark reds, purples, and black. 

Sounded Lorde enough to me. 

Wtf was I going to wear? 

Dark is definitely a Lorde theme. SO we dressed dark. Always trying to keep the environment a primary influencer in what to wear. 

Lol channeling Lorde.

We got to see Lorde at one of the last concerts at Roseland.

Gaga finished up the run last week. Duh.

I decided to keep my 90's theme going with an orange mesh football jersey and some gold chains. I added a cross necklace in lieu of Lorde (I think she'd like it) anddddd wore it with standard black jeans and combat boots. I wore this acid wash jacket (from Wasteland SF) while we waited in line. 

Lorde was fab. 

Really fab.

And we looked fab. A successful dark, passionate, 90s inspired night with Lorde at Roseland Ballroom. LOL sure. Thanks Kealro and Haleyroses for the birthday tickets! 

Because we're obsessed.

Men's Spring Selects

It's spring time.

Put some color on and get out the house. 

Because the world is beautiful, remember?

Kealro is outside. In his Spring outfit of choice. 

And I in mine. 

Finally. Short sleeves. Skin. Sun. 

Living for Kealro's outfit today. Alex is wearing American Apparel's sear sucker Kennedy shorts with a beautifulllllll vintage shirt I found in Charleston, South Carolina. Feeling some Miami Vice/JFK vibes with this one. Happy with it. 

A great thing about the Spring is the fact that we can finally start making OUTFITS. It's a waste during the winter to put together a great outfit because youre just going to throw a damn jacket over it. Now we can play. American Apparel has some of the best accessories in my opinion. Super classic, vintage, and they come in every color imaginable. You really finish off an outfit with the right accessories. For Spring. Im excited to wear the lavender, baby pink, and straw colored skinny belts. 

Mint is always a coveted color this time of year. I love how Alex added a gold chain necklace. 

And purple socks. Nice one Kealro. 

And these SUNNIES. Round is in, gold is always in, and hot damn these are fab. 

My Spring #ootd is a light pallet of white, pink, and light denim with my Classic 100's from American Apparel and a vintage floral polo from a Goodwill in West Virginia. Yes....we went into a Goodwill in West Virginia.....

Finished my outfit with a forest green skinny belt from AA, my white Converses, and a gold necklace with a pendant bearing a picture of my 3 year old self. 

 THANK YOU Spring for finally showing up to the party. We've been waiting. Now the fun begins. 

Make some really kick-ass Spring outfits. 

Because we're obsessed.

Brooklyn Local Spotlight: Brooklyn Charm

Where to shop in Williamsburg? A common question in the hood. Much of Brooklyn's allure is its' "hard-to-find" nature. There are SO many places in Williamsburg that you would easily pass without knowing what lay behind that old rustic door you pass everyday on the way to work. But not to worry! There are locals that are willing to share the wealth! One of these hidden gems is Brooklyn Charm- an amazing little shop, full of CHARMS.  Right off Bedford Ave, just a few blocks from the L stop, Brooklyn Charm is definitely a spot to stop by when in Williamsburg. 

It's quite charming. 

My friends Emily, Emily, and I had a random Thursday off a few weeks ago and we decided to hit the streets and make it a day in the burg. We got a beer at Brooklyn Bowl, breakfast tacos at Whirly Bird, and ventured in all the vintage shops around Bedford. Our last stop was Brooklyn Charm. We were there for over an hour. Whoops! 

You can see why we took so long. Brooklyn Charm has EVERY charm you could ever imagine. Elephants, screwdrivers, horoscope signs, US states....I mean anything that you can imagine for real. 

I wanted them all. Andddd after a few beers, I REALLY wanted them all. The process is quite easy. Grab a tray, pick out ya charms, buy a chain, and check out! There is a dollar a charm assembly charge (You can obviously do it yourself to save money...Im not good with pliers so I left it to the pros) AND BADA BING. You have yourself a personal necklace.  

But this is what I put together. Princess Diana and a pyramid. The other charm above is me circa 1991. Fresh and Precious right? 

I love this shit. I wear my little charm necklaces allllllllll day every day. I love to pull a 90s fashion style and wear it over all my sweatahs. It's a great touch. 

RIP Princess Di. Sometimes the world gets jealous of too much perfection. 

Totally not your fault. 

Definitely check out this gem next time you are wandering through Williamsburg. It is fantastic for gifts and even more fantastic for yourself. There are SO many great shops in Brooklyn that just need a little discovery. We will find them all. 

Because we're obsessed.

After shopping the streets of Bedford, walk a few blocks West to spend some time with this skyline. 

#selfies & Amarepare

But first, let me take a #selfie. 

American Apparel just has good lighting, ya know? And bright colorsssss and 80s sweatshop vibessss. It's a perfect selfie spot. 

I have a lot of fun putting my outfits together for a day at work at aa. My outfit on the left consists of American Apparel's Camel Work Pant, red valour sweatshirt, and light denim short sleeve underneath. I love the work pants. They remind me of Carharrts from home. Lol. On the right, I paired my Yacht Stipe Fisherman Pullover  with my light-wash Regular fit 100's. 

Classic American Converses to top off the look. 

ALWAYS wearing my vintage deadstock gold Casio from aa. 

Can you guys help me pick a filter? Haha the one on the left is ridiculous. Loved the outfit though. I cant remember the name of the cream sweater around my waist but it's also from American Apparel. This sweater is super soft and comfy. It's also super big (one huge size fits all)

I don't know if I should go with XX Pro or Valencia. 

Wait, pause. Jason just liked my selfie. 

There's no vodka at this table. Do you know anyone else here?

Because we're obsessed.

Lemme take a selfie.
