It’s been a while since my last fashion post, so I figured I would go easy on all my readers and keep it simple for this holiday Friday (passover/easter). As much as I love getting dolled up in a dress or a cute girly outfit, I am actually most comfortable in street wear. Growing up I was a tomboy…. I practically lived in sneakers and baggy jeans. I don’t think I’ve ever even worn makeup!
I recently linked up with local photographer Nabil (@nvbill) on Instagram and he pitched the idea of getting a few sneaker collectors together for a street style shoot. We got in touch with one of his friends, Jomar who owns over 100 pairs to join us for a shoot.
I went to Sneaker Room to see if I could cop a new pair of Nikes so I can be on par with Jomar. I didn’t find anything my size, but I ended up getting these dope camo joggers that are for men! they fit like a glove and are so comfy and versatile. I am going back and getting them in every color! I kept it simple and added a white crop top, bandana around my neck (which was a friends idea) and my classic adidas sneakers that are actually kid sized (“little feet, big heat”)
I met with Nabil at my office/favorite coffee shot in Jersey City; The Warehouse Cafe. to shoot in the area… Since Jomar was late we decided to start without him and make magic.
While I was waiting for Nabil I spotted Denny; a menswear blogger, amt vintage store keeper and a stylish peep. He was shooting in the area with another blogger. Denny was wearing almost the same exact outfit as me so I asked him to join me for a pic! Denny is wearing Armani Exchange Varsity Jacket, Uniqlo pants and Adidas sneakers.
Fun fact about Denny, over a year ago while shopping at Another Man’s Treasure, he gave me idea to start a fashion blog… and here I am!
I had so much fun taking these pictures. Nabil made me feel at ease, it was as if it was a friend taking my picture. He’s a cool dude! Totally made me feel confident… for around 20 minutes I was just jumping around and being silly!
Jomar finally showed up… fashionably late! he is a total natural in front of the camera. I obviously had to ask him what he was wearing!!
