School, consulting new clients and work. I'm about ready to throw in the bone. I was in Kensington Market the day and took a bunch of photos. A few of them were taken because I liked the color combinations, others were taken because I love the market for its strange and incredible people.
These last few months have flown by. After my birthday I began school and I haven't calmed down since. Life is strange, from one day to the next you never know what will happen. The universe is the limit, who knows what will happen.

For a lot of men, mixing prints and trying to make patterns work is like attempting to figure out astrophysics through the Dummies Guide. For others, it’s as simple as taking candy from a baby!
Kenzo gentlemen look haunted and dusty, Ann Demeulemeester is all well and dandy and Ports 1961, is silky and smooth. Whenever these designers showcase a collection I am always amazed by the colors and textures they bring to the runway.
Every season it gets weirder and harsher, the jailbird looks by Acne, the confused gentlemen by Costume National Homme and the lumberjack pyjama boy from Dries Von Noten.
If ever you can’t put your stripes and plaid together these are the collections to observe and emulate [with caution!] Good luck and happy fashion!

I remember buying all three of these pieces. The shirt is from Model Citizen and I'd been eyeing it all summer. Finally, I mustered up the courage to buy it and had cash in my wallet so Julian gave me a deal. It's one of my favourite pieces in my closet. The pants I purchased because I was looking for something "interesting." I find pants my most difficult purchase, they never fit right, my body shape isn't conducive to North American tailoring. These, on the other hand, fit like a glove, and I got them for $5.99 at the thrift shop! The shoes, again, from the thrift shop, but I got these on my 20th birthday. I used birthday money on a few items but these boots were my favourite purchase by far, I still have them.

Jeffery Rüdes' new focus is outerwear; jackets to be precise. Rüde is attentive to detail, constantly perfecting his jackets. This season the upper LA crowed meets the east end of Italy in beautiful double-breasted suits with peaked-lapels. Shall-collar dinner jackets and your casual stripped blazer for the office.
"The lapel has to be perfect" Rude tells Vogue. "...and the way the shirt collar fits, you want to feel like James Bond. Its all about feeling."
Every man needs a boutique that allows for easy shopping and a relaxing atmosphere. Jeffery Rüde recently opened a flagship location, a 5700 square foot soho shop. The most decadent landscape was in mind for the showcasing of his ravishing collections. Fitted double-breasted camel hair pea coats, zipped lambskin suede jackets, classic t-shirts, and flat rib round-neck sweaters. This brand is best suited for gents who love cutting-edge luxury.

I love colour. It's an addiction. For as long as I can remember I have been covered from head to toe in vivacious patterns, textures, and graphics. Remember when I bought my Jungle Jacket? That piece made me fall for the bright palettes I sport so often today. Since that purchase, I have dedicated myself to bringing my culture, personality and background into my wardrobe and my everyday life, and this photo series demonstrates it.

Standing on shaky ground
I was coming home from grabbing chips and beer and the Temptations' horn crawled its way through my headphones and soon I found myself dancing, beer in hand around my house. I don't know if you know, but I recently began taking classes at the local fashion school and wow! It's been a while since I've been in a class, it brings back memories! I was given a task, and that was to come up with some ideas for a final project, I've compiled a list, I'll share it with you when I'm ready. Until then, here are some photo's that I've taken, hopefully you haven't seen them already!
