This past week­end, I took a break from work, and the con­tin­u­ous grind of busi­ness and enjoyed life for a change spend­ing time with some close friends on their spe­cial day. I chose this this color com­bi­na­tion of khakis, a printed dress shirt, [all from Old Navy] and Bass Buchanon Sad­dle Shoes for a sim­ple yet impres­sive look.

A Thrifting Project

A lit­tle over week ago, I spent the day with one of my good friends, Sha­reese McDaniel. This lady is the rea­son why I recently gained a heavy inter­est in thrift­ing. She has a cre­ative, unique style that begs you to inquire where she got her out­fit from and her answer will con­sis­tently be “I […]

 

Some visu­als from our younger brother Farma Wes­ley, kind of an old video but this video’s too cool not to post.

 
Brand Spotlight, Curran Swint of Kings Rule Together

Our next install­ment of the Brand Spot­light series brings to light Cur­ran Swint of Kings Rule Together. Although he is a Philadel­phia native, Cur­ran is actu­ally one of the first peo­ple I met when I began net­work­ing for Kar­mal­ifee in DC. It’s not often you meet peo­ple or brands that carry this much uplift­ing and […]

 
Tom Tom's Acquisitions: Uniqlo Cotton Linen Shorts (Flower)

Ear­lier this week, while trav­el­ing around New York with my fam­ily, I lit­er­ally stum­bled into the freshly-opened Uniqlo store in Ridge­Hill Shop­ping Cen­ter located in Westch­ester. As it were, it just so hap­pened that its grand open­ing was only a few days prior to my impromptu visit. It was def­i­nitely a pleas­ant sur­prise. Nor­mally, I […]

 

It starts with a pas­sion for meet­ing the needs of a com­mu­nity you know and care about. That has to be your true moti­va­tion, it can’t just be about money. –Matt Bald­win, Baldwin Denim

 

If you’re think­ing about start­ing your own brand, be ready to die for it. Because THAT is how hard you’ll be work­ing in order to make it suc­cess­ful. This is no walk in the park. If you’re ques­tion­ing your pas­sion, your com­mit­ment or your abil­ity to ‘make it work,’ then do some­thing else. You’ll be […]

Lately I Been Thrifting My Life Away...

So I’ve recently dis­cov­ered a new pas­time. It’s def­i­nitely not an unfa­mil­iar con­cept to those into clothes. One day after work a cou­ple weeks ago, I decided to ven­ture into a local Good­will store to go “thrift­ing”. After get­ting lost for a cou­ple hours, I emerged feel­ing invig­o­rated and vic­to­ri­ous! That could be because I […]

 
New Links, New Partnerships

A new link up hap­pened today between Kar­mal­ifee and DMV group POD Ent (Passed Out Drunk Enter­tain­ment). A part­ner­ship that will bring their music to the area and Kar­mal­ifee to DC. Good Looks all around…

 
Behind the Scenes: Quickstrike Spring 2013 Shoot

Got an impromptu call from Reef for a Kar­mal­ifee photo shoot. Check out the behind the scene look at the shoot for the new spring line. Enjoy.

 
Perusing the Richmond Streets with Mr. Wesley

A few days ago, we went to Rich­mond to begin work on a project with Farma Wes­ley and shoot some visu­als for our upcom­ing release. This new drop will include a UM (Uni­ver­sity of Miami) inspired raglan with a grey body and green sleeves and a gold/emerald Mardi Gra hoodie. We have cho­sen bright col­ors […]

 
Day 3: Soho Surroundings

Our third and final day in New York brought us to Soho. The agenda was to attend Agenda, another tradeshow held dur­ing the same week as Cap­sule. Loc returned back to Vir­ginia the night before after Cap­sule, so this mis­sion was up to Brian and I. Let’s just say, it didn’t go as planned, bet­ter […]

 
Day 2: Capsule Fever

On our sec­ond day in New York, our mis­sion was to attend Cap­sule off of Pier 36. Cap­sule is an inter­na­tional fash­ion trade show held semi-annually in New York, Berlin, and Paris for dif­fer­ent brands to show their upcom­ing col­lec­tions for the next sea­son. Their offer­ings include var­i­ous styles and gen­res and are a diverse […]
