The Blackout Layering Effect from Menswear...
Happy, Happy Casual Monday! Yes, the day we've all been waiting for - Monday!
Our favorite day of the week! NOT!!!!
Over the weekend, I styled KP the Grunge Princess in a Japanese inspired menswear ensemble for her Friday Night Hype...
Originally, she requested a sexy look for the evening to go out with her College buds but I just had to grunge her up. I mean, she is the Grunge Princess... So, here we are....
My go to place for the look I had in mind? Nonno Fashion Boutique in Houston's Montrose area.
Sure, I thought about going with her "sexy" request but once I entered the store and explored the women's section, the men's section kept calling me and calling me. And then the blackout happened...
The layering effect.
Initially, I was going for the top layer as the XL appeared to be long enough to wear as a dress for a funky street style but it was too short to have fun in. However, Jonathan the owner, knew I wanted this look so he presented me with the bottom layer for a layering effect, which was more than perfect for the look I wanted to create. Thanks Jonathan!
Next, the black Timberlands and a pair of shades to top it off!
Tomboy Glitch for the Grunge Princess...
In love with the print, texture and graphic design that I could not leave the store without it.
What's even better is that Jonathan only made one of the 'Giveashit' shirts and I got it! I got it! Well, she did... (smirk)... More like the style of hip-hop... The logo on the back, inspired by the Givenchy haute couture brand, makes this a haute twist for street style lovers. The texture - faux leather snakeskin. Or at least thats how it looks and feel. (shrugs)... HA!
Yes, I did a bootleg photoshoot in the elevators of her dorm... One day, we'll invest in a photographer for a "real" photo shoot. Or maybe we can snag us a photography boyfriend or something like that... LOL!!!
For now, menswear on the ladies remains Haute! Haute! Haute!

The Scoop on Nonno: The store based off Tokyo, London, Taiwan, S. Korea and Milan fashion for both men and women clothing. I always find little treasures here and each time I'm in the area, I make it a point to pop my head in to see what's new and chat with Jonathan about whats in store. Never a let down! My go to store when I want that 'Fresh to Death' look. What I really enjoy about Nonno, I feel like I'm getting something exclusive as he doesn't produce his clothing in the masses. Usually, it's a couple of pieces for each look, which means you don't have to worry about walking outside and seeing someone wearing the same thing as you. Not only that, Nonno has great deals to keep you 'Fresh to Death' in Style.
