black & cream: yumi kim + steve madden


IN PREPARATION FOR my upcoming trip to LA, I thought I'd wear as much black as possible before being confronted with bright colors, palm trees and sandy beaches. Although confronted does seem like a strong word... it's not as if the colors are attacking me. Right? How about embraced... welcomed. I love colors! I will try not to pack black, but as New Yorkers, is that a feat we can fathom? Update pending.

Love,

THERE ARE ONLY so many times you come across a sparkly tie. And when you do, your only choice is to purchase said sparkly tie. At least that's what my internal dialogue worked out. Do ya dig?

When I wear this look, I immediately feel like a:

A) British rock star
B) Secret agent
C) Ninja
D) ALL OF THE ABOVE

If you have selected D, then you are correct, my friend. You are correct indeed.

Love,
JaKenna

kickin' it casual: men's plaid uniqlo shirt

ONCE AGAIN, I'M going to gush over the photos from my shoot w/ Max Bernetz. Just lovely.

Y'all know that I like to dress like a tomboy. Exhibits A and B.
Y'all also know that I occasionally steal borrow boys' clothing to wear in my erry day life. Exhibits C and D.

This plaid Uniqlo shirt is not only stolen borrowed from a boy, but it's comfy as all hell and I can't stop wearing it. I'm wearing it right now. And I'll be wearing it tomorrow. TRUST.

autumn attire: topshop sweater + uniqlo corduroy pants

IT'S SO OFFICIAL. Autumn is here and I've broken out my staples: Scarves. Boots. Blazers.


Monochromatic-ism is fun! I wanted to play up this dope men's scarf, so I went the gray-black route. Also, sometimes I get addicted to things... I don't know if you've noticed (ahem, J Brand red jeans). Currently, it's these combat boots. NON-STOP. They're so perfect for this weather!

What are you wearing this Autumn?
Blazer: Express
Sweater: TopShop

black and gold: topshop sheer top + uniqlo corduroys + gap pumps

PLAYING DRESS UP is fun. Especially when you combine all of your favorite things:

The NYC staple color? BLACK
The trend for Summer/Fall? SHEER
The classic shoe? PUMP >> complete with the cutest bow of ALL TIME.

Check, check and check mate baby. Is there a BLACK SHEER PUMP happening soon? I smell an idea. And it smells fashionably delicious.

Sunnies: Ray Ban
