when it rains, it pours

1.19.2010








Urban Outfitters leather jacket. KVN hoodie. Erc x RVCA tank. Alex Lane silk shorts. Burberry booties. F21 rings.

I don't know what crazy ambition came over me when I decided to take pictures in a rainstorm, but I do know that I always seem to dress inappropriately by 10 degrees. Sorry for the grainy pictures; we can just pretend they were taken on a sweet film camera with some street cred.

Combining a hoodie and leather jacket was like the instant cool, blogger-trended formula two years ago, and while I hate to dig back into that timewarp, I see no harm hashing this amazing lace hoodie. Yes, a lace hoodie. As if I couldn't have wanted anything more than the holy grail of girly boyish consistency, Kevin Nguyen offers me one of his own designs, and we instantly became best friends. I'm just wearing a sample piece, but follow his blog and I'm sure he'll keep you updated on his other designs. From what I've seen, his pieces are stunning and I have totally high hopes for him.

hoody + jacket = such a well-know pairing now that for the last couple of winters at my (English) school we've all been wearing hoodies under our blazers and trying not to get caught...
