Style : Carlton Drew

East Coast style in LA : Carlton Drew

 I discovered Carlton Drew on Instagram (@carltondrew) and eventually, on a recent trip to Los Angeles I was able to visit the shop itself. Carlton Drew brings East Coast style with a modern edge to Los Angeles - my kind of shop.


 Naturally, I had on my best modern prep outfit... Louis Vuitton Success brogues in Navy Canvas / Leather mix, Embroidered Anchor Shorts by Bank Fashions, Striped shirt by Vivienne Westwood, Shades by Tom Ford.

 Carlton Drew had posted on Instagram some days earlier the new line of 'Lemon & Line' cord bracelets he had just received - naturally I made a beeline straight for these


 I also picked up a couple of tees from 'Declaration' and some shirts from 'Shades of Grey by Micah Cohen'  (With Carlton Drew very kindly throwing in a freebie - thanks!)


 Carlton Drew is a very well curated shop with a great selection East Coast preppy style product, located at 8016 Melrose Avenue, just up from Fred Segal - it's a great location in a very up and coming area.

Observe : Pearced by H.Ryder

'Pearced' : A classic tale of boy meets designer

 A couple of months ago I had the privilege of reading the first proof of 'Pearced' by H.Ryder.
  I read this in the fitting surroundings of the mysterious, far away desert retreat of 'Qasr Al Sarab' in The Liwa desert, UAE.


 Now, the published version is available to buy on Amazon for Kindle.

 Adventure, mystery, fashion, humor and more... H.Ryder has a knack for noticing those little things in everyday life; the things that make people unique and full of character, the hidden meanings in apparently simple objects, the sense of adventure in new challanges, it all makes for a great read. I'd devoured it in a couple of days...

 

 'Pearced' : A Classic tale of boy meets designer.

 Denim Guru Tharie Charles needs a new challenge, her job is predictable and she’s jumped the toughest course on her maddest horse and survived. Her interview at RANDom, the newest hottest denim brand, may prove to be the twist in the tale she’s been looking for. She’s weird, and has a talent for discovering trends, her brain makes connections others discard.

Daniel Pearce, the founder of RANDom Denim is young, charismatic, gorgeous, and her new boss. He makes no secret of his desire for her, he wants her badly... to design for Milk&Honey, the womenswear branch of RANDom. Tharie can’t resist however hard she tries, Daniels gooseberry grey haunting eyes… she is powerless, saying yes to all his questions. Daniel makes it clear he’s in charge, but Tharie is from Dagenham, no one tells her what to do, it’s just her nature. The sexual conflict between them is an incredible aphrodisiac, their charged affair leaves them learning more about themselves as they learn about each other. Can this intense attraction last?

 Desperate to discover the meanings of drawings and clues left for him his whole life, together they embark upon an adventure to unravel the meanings of the unusual imagery which leads them far away. Joined by an intrepid group of colourful characters, they scour the depths and uncover lost treasures, whilst Daniel scours Tharie’s depths and uncovers her lost treasures!
