chadchad of the day 4.1

green & blue check shirt / Sparks
cutoff shorts / reformed vintage Levi's
hamburger necklace / handmade
leather slippers / from India


Welcome to our humble flat. I didn't get a chance to take a shot in my new oversized Sparks shirt before the sun started setting so I thought I'd take today's outfit of the day shot in my London diggs to give you an idea of where I'm living. I picked up the oversized shirt yesterday at a select shop called 'Behave' near Brick Lane in East London - they were having a sale and it was only 20 pounds so I bought a 10 pound pair of plaid Cheap Monday swimming trunks as well.  Holla.


I wore it with my tiny gold hamburger necklace (thanks B!) and a pair of vintage Levi's that I cut off into shorts then dipped halfway in bleach to give a gradient sort of look. The leather house slippers are from Jaisalmer, India aka the Golden City. A 12 year old boy and his father owned a shop there filled entirely of goods handcrafted from camel leather. I bought these, a satchel and two foot stools for really cheap when I was there in 2006 to go on a camel safari with a few friends. I wear the slippers at home every day.


Oh ps. that lump of grey fluff I'm holding is Terrence, our roommates cat. Nothing but swagger that boy.


Here are a few shots of some of mine & Burger's jewelry and some of my favorite things from around the flat.  You can notice some of Burger's brilliant hat creations hidden all over the house.
