Dunkxchange 6 Year Anniversary

I've been somewhat disgruntled about the lack of sneaker events on the West Coast, so I was super stoked when I found out that Dunkxchange was going to be in L.A. this past weekend. It's been about 3 years since I've been to one. After a doing mini-shoot with my sneakers, Lehrick and I ran down to L.A. to see what Dunkxchange had in store this time around.

As expected, there were piles and piles of sneakers... but none of them were in my size! I was pretty disappointed because I didn't get to find any of  the sneakers I wanted to cop. I spotted a pair of Banned 1's though--those were pretty dope. Wonder how long that guy had to stand in line to get his hands on a pair.
Oh! There was a dude rocking New Loves. So jealous! I really want a pair of those!

We left early and ran down to Little Tokyo just to chill and ended up taking a buttload of pictures. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.

Nails Did: Confetti Splatter

Wet n Wild French White Creme + Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday + CND Effects Raspberry Sparkle

All of the Lights

Romano's Macaroni Grill

Girl Got Wings

The Vortex, Downtown Los Angeles

Nails Did: Sequins

Essie Miss Matched + Hard Candy Break Up + Homei GN21 + NYC White Lights Glitter// CM Nail Art Black

I packed on about 5 coats of glitter to mimic the sequins on my Attitude Logos, but it still wasn't enough to get it how I wanted. It got real thick since I also applied a base coat, 3 coats of Miss Matched and a top coat. Probably should have used a straight up white instead of Miss Matched, but it was too late by the time I realized it haha.

Nails Did: Fire Flakes

Check out that flakie top coat. It was really hard to capture the effect, but it shifts from orange to yellow to green!

Pasadena Sneaker Hunt

I went sneaker hunting in Old Pasadena last week, after finals were over. Much to my dismay, I didn't find any kicks worth picking up, but the hunt made for an excellent photo op.
