Shoot Your Shot

Summer is the perfect time for me to focus on my blog and work on creating some new content. It gets hard during the academic year so I'm really trying to shoot more this season and buy more key pieces. Recently, I've been really getting into sneakers. I've even decided that I'm going to start a collection haha! Sneakers are comfy, versatile, and with all the new trends right now, you can wear them with any type of outfit.

I wanted part of my outfit to match my shoes(neat/organizational freaks be like) so I wore this cute and simple bandeau top. It's one of those items that you can wear for a casual day, or spice it up and wear with a suit at night. Thank God I wore it too because it was super hot this day!

To keep the black/white/blue color scheme going, I paired the look with a vintage Chanel. It's the perfect bag because it's small, yet I find that it adds a perfect contrast to this whole "streetwear" type of look. I've noticed that mixing streetwear with designer pieces is on the rise and at first, I didn't quite like it but now I see its appeal. It's a great way to make an outfit stand out!

My main focus for this shoot was to find a quiet and empty basketball court(after all, my sneakers are named after a former basketball player lol). You can do so much in a b-ball court, because there's so many colors and interesting tones around you. The photographer and I basically walked around the lower east side and as soon as we found one, we gave each other that "yep, this is it" look haha.

There was only another person on the court playing basketball, which was great because I didn't feel pressured to rush my poses. Sometimes, you're in a crowded area and people keep walking by so you get kind of de-stabilized but we didn't have that problem here. I even had some time to do some squats haha!

I loved everything about this photoshoot. It's really nice when you envision something and it turns out exactly how you wanted to, and sometimes even better. Safe to say I'll be back at the court ;)

(The floor was so hot haha...but we needed to get the shot!)
