Jockin My Fresh: New York City Edition

When going over some photos of fashion from across the world so I could do this daily post, the beautiful people of New York City kept coming up. I was so inspired by the outfits these people wore, that I decided to dedicate an entire post to more than one of them. Below, are some of the best points of fashion that your average every day citizen of New York City has to offer. Fashion across the world is absolutely incredible, but there is something that New York puts out, that not a single city on this planet can touch.



The above photos are of Diana Lunt, an assistant fashion editor. She said a lot of the time she dresses the way she feels that day, which explains the two drastic differences in the outfits. I fell in love with her, not for strictly her fashion, but rather the answer to an interviewers question. He asked, "What is your favorite cocktail?" Her response? "I don't drink cocktails, but I love a good whiskey on the rocks." You just stole my heart Diana.






The above picture is without a doubt my favorite. The fabric that is used for the vest and jacket looks entirely too comfortable. On top of that, the heather grey with the finely lined white stripes are an absolute perfect match.

Last but not least, probably my favorite thing about the phase I'm going through now, shoes without socks. The picture below displays that perfectly.



Thank you New York City. The world's fashion sense would be a bit dimmer if it weren't for you.

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Considering all the excitement of U2 coming to Spartan Stadium next summer, I figured I would post my favorite U2 song. Although I am not the biggest fan, this song is definitely one of my favorite songs in music in general. This is from their 1983 album "War" and is called "Sunday Bloody Sunday". I do admit, I chose to post this today, due to it being Sunday. So clever I know.

Hurricane

30 Seconds To Mars put out their first radio single "The Kill" which instantly drew me in as a fan. If you know me at all, you know how I feel about Kanye West. So when I found out the two would be collaborating on a song, of course I became anxious to hear the final product. That final product was released today, and the more I hear the song, the more I like it. It's a lot different then most songs, but when did being normal get anyone anywhere?

Jockin My Fresh: Outfit(s) Of The Day

This is Alessandra Colombo, a fashion designer from Milano. Not only are the cheetah print shoes, the gold bracelets, the sunglasses, and THE FUCKIN JACKET absolutely dope, but she doesn't wear socks with the outfits which I personally feel, makes the outfit complete. Granted she is a fashion designer, she is still killin these outfits.

Alicia Key's "Empire State Of Mind 2"

I have been waiting to hear this track ever since it was confirmed. Alicia Key's has done her own version of her hit single with Jay-Z, for her own album. Of course she did it the only way Ms. Keys knows how, and that is strictly her, and her piano. The song came out great. Plus Alicia Keys is damn damn damn good looking.

Wale's "Diary", the acoustic version.

Wale's track with Marsha Ambrosious titled "Diary", was already a dope track. Making the song acoustic, was the icing on the cake. I'm a sucker for any hip hop turned acoustic.
