My Rethink, Reuse #ValueVillageDIY Project

During the past week, Value Village inspired me to take a repurposed approach towards a DIY project. The purpose of this #ValueVillageDIY project was to take retired items and repurpose them, giving them a new, practical purpose. The primary pieces, such as the wooden cabinet doors, faucets and fabric used in this project were found at Value Village. I was fortunate to have spotted a wooden frame on the side of a road, which was used as the base. From scattered abandoned pieces, and a bit of creative thinking, this rustic handcrafted bar cart was born. The total cost of this project costed $15 to put together. It was my first time and it was so much fun that I'll probably try it again sometime! Who know's maybe I'll sell some pieces in the future ;) Thanks for stopping by!-Bobby

DIY Bluish Violet Dye

I know that it's been a few weeks since New York Fashion Week, and it's "old news" to most of you by now -but I finally got my hands on some photos which I've been excited to post for a while. Hours before I departed on my trip, I decided to dye my hair a new colour and spontaneously decided to use the leftover dye on my shoelaces and bottom of my shoes. -I know what you are thinking, "what a mess" but I was really getting bored of my white ol' kicks and didn't have anything that I could match with my hair. I thought now would be the time to bring out my "third eye" which was a present from an old friend. To me it's a way of expressing that there is more than meets the eye, and the expression through one's inner can be seen in the outer -like how I express my personality through my outfits. I finally got to feature one of my favourite sweaters from Mr. GUGU & Miss GO which is one of my all time favourite online shops when it comes to graphic pullovers and tees. Much thanks to Zhi Wei for photographing me once again at NYFW. Truly talented photographer, check out his stuff on his website. I was also spotted by my friend Danny Roche who shot me for Fucking Young Magazine. Thanks again for stopping by -I'm always doing my best to inspire and be inspired in return. Note: I haven't really wrote a lot recently, mainly because I've been over working, and also going through some things with a complicated moving situation. I've been excited to see some change for the better as the season transitions as well. Sincerely, Bobby

Basic is the new Black

Everyone has been dressing very basic lately -It has most definitely become the new black.

Which is why I decided to make this DIY graphic tee.

Calling of the Seagulls / DIY Overalls

Today's look is focused towards my DIY creations. I've been looking everywhere for the perfect pair of vintage overalls at every thrift store, and unfortunately I could not come across them so I had to settle for some extra large maternity sized ones. That's right, someone must've been having triplets! I had to adjusted them to fit me and while doing so I thought it would be a cute idea to include a seagull patch of fabric on the centre pocket. To go along with the seagull theme I decided to wear my feathered headband that I created for my festival adventures in Denmark. That's about it for today, thanks for stopping by and reading today's post! Hope your weekend is going well. Sincerely, Bobby

BASIC BOULEVARD

Basic as it gets with a DIY twist.

True Colors: Roskilde Part VI Finale

This is the last post from my trip to Denmark for the Roskilde festival.

It was a life changing experience to travel to a place I never expected to travel to.

This summer has been a unique adventure, and I'm so happy to look back at all the wonderful memories within these photos. This year has definitely been the most exciting and overwhelming roller coaster ride of my entire life. I've opened up my eyes to so much more in life that I never even imagined. I can't express how grateful I am to have the opportunity to travel and attend such unique festivals that invite such unique people from all around the world to celebrate unity and appreciate for music. This year I was able to go to Coachella in California and then Roskilde in Denmark. It was also a stepping stone to my self discovery process; by traveling and experiencing something new it had guided me to a place where I want to be mentally. It was really interesting to learn about this festival in particular. H&M also invited me to a unique tour where I got to learn all the exciting facts about the festival and how they created it. Even though it wasn't my duty to go I was so happy that I got to experience that because I really had appreciated it and was happy to learn about it. When I travel I really like to absorb the culture and act as if I'm a local. It was no regret taking the train instead of a taxi not only for the price difference but I was so happy to see and travel to Copenhagen from a local perspective. I feel as if I fulfilled by expressing and sharing my Roskilde experience with you and I hope that you got a taste of my adventures as well though my words and photographs. Sincerely, Bobby
