Redish: Urban Outfitters

Sorry world for literally dying and not posting for almost a year. At least we can always go back and try to do what we want and make these posts a habit. This next post is actually one I did a few years ago with my photographer Iggy @Iggy on Instagram. Since then he has been taking many of my pictures.

This was taken in Beverly Hills. Taken just off of Santa Monica Boulevard. Featuring all clothing; hat, shirt, pants and shoes from Urban Outfitters. 

The Sunglasses here are Local Supply.

 The shoes are Snake Skin Vans. Of course not actual snake skin but the design. The pictures below were edited with the app Frametastic, and Pic Stich. Both of which I use for most of my iPhone editing. The color effects in the picture below is from Pic Stich and an app call Afterlight.

LOL! Just a Selfie! 

 The selfie right above was actually taken at the Glendale Promenade mall and Shopping Center. I will try to post more often. Gotta stick to it! 

Squiggly Monsters

So I am trying to think of the projects I have worked on since I last posted. And the last photo shoot I posted was an older one. I have done several shoots since then but I haven't uploaded them yet for everyone so forgive that I sorta disappeared off the face of the earth for a bit. One of the projects that I have been focused on lately was an animation project which I never shared with everyone. Below is a link the project.

This animation was completed several months ago with animator Justain Marchett. We came up with the idea from little drawings I did while working at a regular job. Haha! So even little doo-dads and sketches and drawings can always be considered something creative and usual for those doodle and sketch and draw.

 The song idea was never entirely finished when I first started composing the piece. The song was started around 11 or 12 years old. It was just an idea, a thought and it was supposed to be more like a orchestral fantasy of some sort, possibly a movement to a symphony. The idea I never fully developed and the style did not exactly develop when I first started making it. Being the very distracted individual that I am, always new songs and ideas come my way and thoughts and then I forget about finishing the songs and projects I started.

When my interest came to animation, I thought of this song as the theme was quick and simple. I wasn't exactly set on using Squiggly Monsters as the theme for the song, but my ideas for a romantic fantasy wasn't as fun to me anymore. I also wanted people to find the video somewhat interesting, even though the whole idea seems to capture the minds of those who see something slightly inappropriate. But the part I am most excited about is that this animation has inspired a mobile app. Its in progress right now but it will be a game! I am so excited to work on it. I will also be providing the music which so far has 11 tracks assigned to it.

I am really excited about the app and can't wait to see what will happen with it!

Nearly 2 Months of being Missing!

Wow! I  haven't posted anything in so long! Let's just say Februrary was a very busy month. And being busy isn't a bad thing. It's just being busy. Through out the weekend days of February I was one of the lead star roles of a short film called "Little Things." I will discuss more of the project in detail in one of my next posts. I am also in the process of developing my first mobile game app. I also got to help one of my closest friends at her Fashion App Launch Party! The last couple of weeks have been intense, with multiple jobs, projects and other things but they have been fun ones! I won't deny I am a bit exhausted even now but I am very happy that I got to be apart of the projects and things that have been going on lately. I just needed to post something to let you all know I am alive and well! I will be sharing my latest escapades soon! This is also a recent picture of me, just before I got my beautiful hair cut off! I hope to grow it that long and pretty again soon! 

Artwork of Me

I came across an artist on Instagram and tumblr a few months back and actually drew an amazing picture that resembles me completely! I was amazed at how accurate he was at depicting everything and really bringing out my personality through his artwork!

Mini Lumberjack

This one of my favorite shoots I did with Amy Roiland, aka (@AFashionNerd). These pictures were taken with her Nikon D5100. It to me is an amazing camera and it was the camera that started my initial blogs. The title "Mini Lumberjack" came from a designer named Rolando Correa who came up with the clothing combination that I had in my closet. 

I think the style of clothing is perfect for fall and so is the title. The clothing I am featuring for this shoot is Izod, Patroncito and my favorite Alejandro Ingelmo Shoes.

I didn't know about Izod until a friend purchased the shirt for me. Initially it didn't fit cause he didn't know my size so he got me the large size. It clearly didn't fit but I fell in love with the orange and yellow and plaid style of the shirt so I had to get it fitted. I couldn't part with it and now I can wear it out. You can see more of their clothes on their website.

The, pants are made Patroncito, a local clothing designer store in Downtown Los Angeles. They are based out of the Fashion District off of Santee Street. Because of its cool look, I will have to find stop by there more often for more clothes that they have. You can see more of the selections they have at their online store although I think more can be found if you go to the Fashion District. Go and discover their experience for yourself.

The shoes of course have always been my favorite shoes. I seem to find a way to put them in my recent blog posts.

http://www.alejandroingelmo.com/

The Ingelmo family has been designing and making high end shoes sense the days of his great grandfather. His grandfather was a cobbler of Spain, and from there migrated to Cuba. After moving to Miami from Cuba, Alejandro has taken his family legacy and now makes some of the coolest shoes out there.

The Dragon Ring

The "Dragon Ring" is one of the posts I have been really looking forward to posting for a while now. I was never one to really wear jewelry, but lately I have taken interest in it. I have been looking at jewelry more and more after this photo shoot. The ring itself, I'm not sure who made it but it really captured my interest in rings.The ring came to me from a roommate who is a designer himself. He had to move to Florida because extenuating circumstances but I believe  he will be back in Los Angeles soon. The pictures were taken by @Afashionnerd.

The button down gray shirt that I am wearing is designed by Eighty Eight. Its one of my favorite shirts to wear and has a very upscale look. . The pants are made by Patroncito, I got them in Downtown Los Angeles in Santee Alley. Its a popular location in the fashion district to find quality clothing at an affordable price.

The shoes I have feature before on a previous blog. Alejandro Ingelmo Shoes. I came across these shoes in a store in the Beverly Center.

 The store is called Politix. I fell in love with them when I came across them and have wear them often. I even took them with me to my recent trip to San Francisco, CA. I am also going to feature them on several upcoming blogs.

You can see his designs on his website below.

His designs are one of my favorites in shoe styles and he also designs for women as well. Be sure to check out his shoe designs.

Gray Squirrel

This shoot was taken by @AFashionNerd, aka, Amy Roiland. She is a fashion blogger who after taking various photos of her inspired me to feature the clothing I like to wear. The clothing in this shoot I will mention every article of clothing I have on... visible.

We shot this in Franklin Canyon. Its a nice place to walk and run, maybe walk the dog. Many locals of Studio City and Beverly Hills who live in the hill or around the area come up to hike and walk here. The scenery is beautiful and there are a lot of paths to take.

We shot this in the evening so the sun was just setting but the trees provided enough shade to keep the bright sun from hitting us. The clothing I wore for this shoot are some of my favorites. I have already featured the shoes and even the shirt in other outfits I have worn.

 We'll start with the shirt and necklace. The shirt I purchased in Hollywood on the strip, east of Highland Ave. It was one of those touristy stores that had souvenirs and clothing. I wasn't planning on buying anything in particular when I went. I just remember going to New York City several months ago and feeling like I wanted to be a "tourist" the most recent time I went, I wanted to feel like a tourist for an hour or so in Hollywood. While passing the stores, I saw this one place that was selling shirts for an affordable price and I came across this shirt that had a skyline view of downtown Los Angeles, CA. For those of you who already know me, I love the color gray, and having a white shirt with a gray background on it caught my attention, and even better, one of my favorite cities which happens to be the city I live in. I had to make the shirt mine so I bought it.

The necklace, well I can't really help anyone to locate cause it was given to me by one of the first contacts I made in Los Angeles. The funny part is that even he doesn't know where he got it.

The shorts I got from a Pacsun store in "The Grove" shopping center. The shorts are meant to be swim trunks so they are't designed to have pockets. There is one pocket but its not a big pocket to carry say a big wallet full of cash. The shorts are very comfortable I will note. For me, I know its not in style but I prefer looser clothing just because I feel less constricted and my lower extremities can breathe a bit. I know styles nowadays prefer tight fit and I am getting use to them. I still like loose fit.

I can't forget to mention the shoes as they are still one of my favorite pairs I have worn. They are very soft and comfortable inside and make great to wear around all day. I feel like I am walking on clouds when I wear these shoes and their look is so chic! Until next time I post everyone =)
