Urban Inspiration #1 - Flower Power

I have wanted to start featuring the most interesting looks I see on the many Urban Inspiration sites out there for a while. Here's the first of the many to come.

This look, featured on Lookbook.nu by the amazing Dennis R. from Manila, Philippines, embodies what I consider the spirit of a warm blithe summer. The trichromacy of the light blue Linen Jacket, the navy Cuffed Pinstriped Shorts and his pink Y T-Shirt is perfectly balanced and the fact that the shoes contain splashes of all three colours is the cherry on top of the cake. Even though those amazing Paul Smith. Loafers are out of this world, I like to think I would have the bravado to pull them off.

The only thing I feel neutral about is his bag, even though my jealousy for Dennis owning so many Birkin bags is ineffable. I feel that a bag the colour of his shorts would have complimented the whole look much better, rather than it being matched with the belt.

I'll Be the Boy Who Cries Wolf...

....although this time I won't be lying about anything and no wolf will be attacking my flock. This time, when I Cry Wolf, I will be referring to the NYC based store with the same name.

Cry Wolf, is a modern store that keeps the young urban-wearer in mind, bringing eclectic designers like Creative Recreation, Acne, Chronicles of Never and Y-3 together in their selections.

Here are my favourite items:

On the left side we have Cesario Blue ($68), Dicoco ($108) on top and Cesario Brown ($78) on the bottom, all three from Creative Recreation. 

In the center, my favourite, is another pair of sneakers from Creative Recreation, dubbed for good reason, Skittles ($89)

On the right side are two very interesting items, a short sleeved shirt with a hood from S2VS ($73) and a sweater that featuresa dettachable wrap hood from Wrath Arcane ($135)
