Channel Orange

Here's a collection of goods inspired by Frank Ocean's new album Channel Orange (which you can listen to HERE). I'm obsessed. There's no doubt you'll be seeing a track or two on my July playlist later this month. I can't wait for it to become available on Rdio and I've already preordered a vinyl copy for myself because I'm obnoxious like that. What do you think?

Shark Bait

I'm a firm believer in garnering inspiration from the world around you. It's summertime, and I'm probably the only person that actually gets excited when the beaches in my hometown close due to offshore shark sightings. Yeah, I'm one of those people that actually wants to cage dive with these toothy creatures of the deep. Whatever the reason, I think they're fascinating and that fact that they're entirely monochromatic makes them my aquatic jam. They've got an angular fluidity thing going on that really appeals to me. Instead of continuing my attempted justification of how I find sharks a point of inspiration for personal style, I'll leave you with a some photos & items reminiscent of Jaws himself.
