C.P. COMPANY BI-FILM SHORT JACKET | 763458
I love how the dye process gave this air brush appearance around the stitching throughout the jacket.
FRIEND EDITIONS YOUTH BY NERO BOOK | 775547
This made me want to book a trip to Turkey.
OAKLEY EYE JACKET REDUX | 718488
I am bullish on Oakley and I am really torn between the silver and the black color in these. Everyone I’ve seen wearing the silver looks cool, but I don’t think you could go wrong with either.
ADIDAS ORIGINALS BW ARMY | 760928
Making the sole darker and the overall shoe tonal really elevates this model and makes them wearable with many different scenarios/outfits



COMME DES GARÇONS SHIRT STRIPED SHIRT | 770262
A shirt for any situation. Dress it up or wear it casually. Open with a white t-shirt underneath or button all the way up.
Wear these with some nice blue jeans and your favorite vintage t-shirt. Sometimes things don’t need to be so complicated.
AESOP POST-POO DROPS 100ML | 702761
It has always fascinated me that they never came up with a more elegant name. That being said, it’s truly an incredible product.
NEW BALANCE 992 MADE IN USA – 19694971
I’m on my feet a lot, so I always reach for my comfortable shoes first. I probably wear these almost everyday and find that they go with pretty much everything else in my closet. A timeless design and colorway.
