Keeping it somewhat simple. Black and some shapes/patterns thrown in there.

Between moving, applying to school and work midst all of life's usual crazy adventures, it's been a little hard to sit down and blog.

But I think it's a little unrealistic to expect life to slow down at any time in this age.

Maybe that notion is reflected in the varied backgrounds featured here, we took photos all over the place for this one.

This time, all photos are by a friend Faz (pronounced "phase"). An up and coming photographer in his own right, all of these shots were really more spontaneous than anything. Check out more of his work on his tumblr site.

Leather Bag - All Saints

Spiked Jewelry - ASOS

Grim Creepers - UNIF

Fringe kimono here with the Grim Creepers by UNIF, I didn't realize there were spikes on my wrist and on my feet until we started to take photos. Some things can't be avoided, I guess.

The silk shirt is from LA based vintage people, October 18th. They have some interesting and some out there things if you can find your fit - goes with UNIF's vibe too.

Not much else to say today, just doing my own thing.

We took pills, chased with whiskey, then madly laughed while running down the streets.

Watch the neon light circlings, circlings- they can tell you the truth. Have a wild time with life.

14/04/26: KEEP ON YOUR MEAN SIDE

2014-04-26T17:57:00.001-04:00

Leather Jacket - Oak

Kimono Cardigan - Pins and Needles

T-shirt - The Kills

Hat - H&M

Sunglasses - Ksubi

All jewelry - Top Man

Boots - Barney's

So after life getting in the way of blogging for a bit, I'm back. This time with an interesting jacket by Oak NYC - with one off white sleeve.

I know it's supposed to be spring and this isn't very "spring" is it? But spring is overrated. Also, it's not that warm. Wear black and leather if you want.

The t-shirt is from when I saw the Kills a few years ago, it was their 10 year anniversary tour. The image is a hold over from their early album days I believe.

Now, would Allison Mosshart and Jamie Hince approve? Go ask them yourself.

14/04/06: HEADS DOWN ALL DAY

2014-04-05T20:59:00.000-04:00

Knit Pull Over - Vintage

Mandarin Shirt - Gentle Park Dhaka

Wide Brim Hat - H&M

Sunglasses - Somewhere in Shanghai

Leather Bag - All Saints

Jewelry- Top Man

Boots - Barney's

Seriously, this bag has been with me nearly everywhere in the past year. Around the world and back, it's keeping up pretty well. What better way to feature it than with some of pieces I picked up from all over.

I'm pleasantly surprised that we are able to consistently find corners here and there that go with what I got on. Can weathered down brick walls ever get old when I'm so colorfully dressed?

Yeah, grey counts as color in my book.

14/04/01: DISPARATE YOUTH

2014-04-01T00:15:00.001-04:00

Leather Jacket - All Saints

T Shirt - Horace

Jeans - Levi's Waterless

Evil Eye Necklace - A Bazaar in Morocco

Triangle Necklace - ASOS

Boots - Aldo

It's getting warmer but I will be a little disappointed when it's too hot to wear jackets. I never thought this rayon t-shirt by Horace would go pretty well with this grey, suede jacket. Sometimes, you never know till you throw it on and see how it looks.

I added the evil eye necklace a friend brought back for me from Morocco. It can provide protection against the deadly spirits haunting the dingy corner I managed to find so we can snap a few shots.

For some odd reason we got a few onlookers who sorta... wouldn't stop looking today. It's a city and we were just taking some pictures right?

And for some other odd reason I kept thinking of what a friend told me once at a party when nearly everyone was singing that too catchy (and quite annoying) "we are young" song while him and I were still pouring drinks.

What he said was, "Let them be forever young because we will always be the disparate youth."

14/03/27: DARK MATTERS

2014-03-27T22:51:00.001-04:00

Cardigan - Zara

Wide brim hat - H&M

Sunglasses - Acne Studios

Knit Scarf - H&M

Necklace - Topman

Boots - Dr. Martens

I felt like wearing all black, which isn't too atypical.

I bought the cardigan a couple sizes larger for a slightly oversized look. Apparantly part of a "spring collection" it's nice and warm- good for cool, summer nights I imagine, if we ever get out of this cold.

Sunglasses are white, acetate and handmade by Acne. I thought they would provide a decent amount (read: small amount) of contrast to the wide array of color I got going on here.

This brick wall with the thorny vines and shady black door were great finds too.

14/03/23: THE COLD END...

2014-03-23T20:33:00.002-04:00

Coat - All Saints

L/S shirt - All Saints

Scarf - H&M

Sunglasses - Ksubi

Boots - Barney's
Necklace - ASOS

The first day of spring has come and gone, but it's still cold. Time to bring out the heaviest pea coat one more time before it starts to feel like spring and I get to wear a plethora of other jackets. It's only the first look but you might be able to tell I have somewhat of an affinity for All Saints.

And despite the slight overcast, Sunday calls for sunglasses because you can still read last night's story in my eyes.

14/03/18: WELCOME TO OUTFIT BY NIGHT

2014-03-18T02:22:00.000-04:00

Let’s push the boundaries.

Style is an outward expression of personality & intrinsic creativity, but is it more? You can skim through as many glossy pages as you want, but why not rip those pages out & make something new?

I wanted to write a style blog documenting myself as I navigate one mode of outward expression. Something to inspire and self critique. It's an idea I've had in my head but never really got around to doing, but there's no time like the present.

The name was inspired by the "outfit of the day" featured all over the blogosphere. I'm somewhat of a nocturnal person, or so I've heard, and as s far as a name goes, why not turn that phrase on its head? It makes it a little more relevant for me and my style, as you will see.

Feel free to connect in the meanwhile and look forward to the journey.
