Weekend Doodle: The Australian Coogi Hunter

I've always had a special place in my heart for the classic Bill Cosby sweater, the Coogi. Bill wanted his Cliff Huxtable character to be comfortable and chill, and a sweater is the epitome of comfort. Biggie later brought the sweater back in the 90's, making it huge within the hip-hop community. Right before my trip to Australia, we learned that Coogi originated in Australia...so (of course) we spent a good deal of our time hunting for the coolest vintage Coogi. This is my rendition of an aboriginal Australian on the hunt.

Weekend Doodle: Davy Crockett

The kid I took of photo of last week made me miss the days of being a child and dressing up in costume. He looked so cool in his Wild West apparel. Apparently the signature Davy Crockett coonskin cap was a Disney invention, the real Davy Crockett didn't actually wear one. But hats off to Disney for introducing a fantastic fashion accessory into the mainstream. 

Weekend Doodle: Fowl Weather in Chinatown

A wonderful thing about living in Little Italy is our neighbor, Chinatown. The women of Chinatown 

have such a cool aesthetic, it's accidentally cool. I personally can't tell if it's intentional or not, but I love to see them sitting in the park with colorful hats and mis-matched patterns.

On the woman who wore them best. 

Weekend Doodle: Little Biggie

This week I was inspired by statement jewelry; layered bracelets, multiple gold chains, large rings, and gold teeth. I love the look of the "peek-a-boo" stack of bracelets under a collared shirt, or neck chains in excess. There is a thin line between costume and classy, but I love that this city knows how to cross that line... and then go a little further.
