Food...Clothes....Shoes...What more can you ask for?

So let me start you off with what I did yesterday, step by step. Well, the night before, I had looked up directions to each stop beginning with Roscoe's House of Chicken N' Waffles. All I have to say about that is, try it yourself. It was the first time I have ever been there and now when there's a trip to L.A., that'll be the first stop if not every time we visit. I just had to finish everything off my plate whether I was full or not. I didn't want to waste such good food.

The next stop Rif and a store located in the Japanese Village Shopping area where they happened to sell samples. We hit up Rif first, but it was closed so we went to that shoe store where they sell samples. As we were walking across the street, a bum, Yul recognized him as being on "The Hundreds" t-shirt. He was a smooth talker and was one of the nicest bums out there. He gave us a little singing lesson to get them women. Hopefully it works. Well, I gave him a $1 since I was pretty limited. Cool dude. Back to the store; they didn't have anything I wanted, plus I was pretty limited in funds. Anyways, we went back to Rif where they had an amazing variety of kicks. I just wanted to take all those shoes, make one big pile and just dive in em' and just cover myself with shoes just like when you get covered with sand at the beach. I should have came with more money, but now I know what to expect.

Next store was South La Brea where the stores Union, Stussy & Undefeated were located right next to each other. We first stepped into Union where my boy Jared bought this dope ass shirt with Jack Nicholson on the front made from words. Lots of dope tees. Next stop was Stussy, which I wasn't really feeling. All I have to say about Stussy is, it's played out. Not to be racist or prejudice, but all the white-white people are starting to wear it. You know, just like how Cash Money started bling-bling. Like that kind of thing. Well, the next stop was Undefeated where they were also packing some heat. I ended up copping a dope black tee which consisted of the big art mural displayed. It's dope. I wanted to get it for myself, but I restricted myself to a merely pair of $6 Sparks cement laces. They match with my Nike Air Max 1 Atmos real well. I wanted to cop that Bo Jackson Skeleton tee and the Skeleton wings tee, but those will have to wait till the next trip.

The next stop was Fairfax, where we first stopped at Supreme. A lot of their shirts were expensive, and the shirt I wanted happened to be $48. It was this white tee with red R-Rated markings all over the shirt. It was fresh! Then, the next stop was Flight Club, where we saw mass amounts of heat. Quite pricey might I add. Jared happened to spot out a pair of Jordan Black/Red KO's in a size 8.5 for $500. Yul is lucky cuz that's his size. Would definitely be on the very top of my list if I could get a hold of them. Didn't buy anything from there.

The next stop was The Hundreds, which was kind of in a hidden location. I ended up purchasing this light blue "weapons of mass destruction" tee which consisted of markers and pens. After spending some dough, we stopped through this DJ store where they also had a couple of tees there. Didn't cop anything, but my boy Jared did.

We were getting real thirsty since it was hot as fuck, so we stopped through PinkBerry's. I was excited man. I ordered the usually, which consisted of a large (13 oz.) soft serve of yogurt with strawberries, bananas & Cap'n Crunch. Both J & Yul defeated the purpose of Pinkberry's by purchasing smoothies. They're more known for their yogurt than their smoothies. Whatever...what ever floats your boat.



Another pic at The Hundreds store (don't mind the girl actually taking the picture, My boy J's on the right and Yul and I on the left checking out the tee's:



After that, we decided to hit up the Citadel Outlet. There we stopped through Puma first to check out the Evisu jeans, then Levi's where Yul almost bought a pair or multiple pairs of jeans. I happened to cop a pair of camo shorts for $25. Pretty cheap originally costing $40, and Levi's might I add! Then we got thirsty again and got some drinks. Non-alcoholic. Then headed back to San Diego where we had a game, and won smashing the opponents by at least 20+ points. It felt good winning after being on a losing streak.

Yesterday was definitely a good day.

And earlier today, I went to Fashion. Had the same old stuff. I was contemplating on purchasing a fitted, the same fitted that my boy Dex had on last night (Turquoise SD fitted). It was fresh!! Too bad they didn't have my size. They had this Teal Washington fitted, but I wasn't feeling Washington. I purchased a pair of black earrings for $8. That was the only purchase of the day. I need to get something for my Pops even though he didn't get anything for me. I'm just thankful that he brought me into this world. Much respect for him even though he's thinking solo. I'm all grown up, and He has taught me plenty of things that I could do on my own. Happy Early Farther's Day Pops! I also need to get my wifey's dad a present before he leaves for Guam. He's been like a father to me and I appreciate everything that he has done for me. Looking to buy him and my Pops a pair of boxers since I'm limited on funds.

Coming soon...Jordan V Black/Metallic
