With #TIFF2018 officially being wrapped up as of today. I felt it was only right I post a recap video of what went down last Saturday when I went to see the film #TheSistersBrothers ! Hit the LINK IN BIO for the full YouTube video and swipe left for pics from the event, #NikexKimJones kicks and of course a snippet of what you can find in the recap video and full Q&A video with the cast of the film. Please subscribe to channel and the blog as it will be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏼 ————————————————————— #TIFF was a unique experience and it was my first time this year. Expect a film review and #TheFitBreakDown fit very soon. Since it was my first time I try to do a semi casual look with the #WayneGretzky blazer, #Ateaze joggers and the #KimJones #Nike #Airmax360 from #MrPorter . It’s awesome to see all the brand activations and the film itself, Early (which I enjoyed). the crowd is very different I would say but nonetheless I might go another year. I highly recommend you try to go at least one year. I wanted to check out this movie because #RizAhmed was in it and it’s awesome to see a brown person play a pivotal role on the big screen. Shoutout to #JohnCReily for producing this film based on a #Canadian novel! Ironically, at mosaiiculture I was drawn towards the sculpture of the man in the gold mine. All in all, it was a dope experience and stay tuned for more videos and posts you might want to check out later on! #chiplifestyle
🎂T W E N T Y F O U R🎉🎈 Firstly, I just wanted to say thank you so much for wishing me a happy birthday yesterday! I appreciate the wish and dose of positivity energy! Secondly, please swipe left, hit the link in the bio and read below because a lot goes down. For more info click the latest posts on the website! Another year/day, another blessing. Life has thrown many challenges which somedays I feel isn’t it fair. But overcoming those challenges is what helps shape who I am and discover myself. So in other words, it’s not always 247 happy, but I gotta do what is needed to better that situation and grow. For me, a method/philosophy I use is the #MambaMentality from #KobeBryant . With being 24 this year, I feel like this is my #KobeYear . That’s why I designed these #NikeID - #KobeAD . In a nutshell, it’s the story of the 81 Points and why it was significant to me, Kobe & The Raps! Since my favourite player growing up was Shaq, I wasn’t the biggest Kobe fan but I learned to respect him because he continued to push himself to prove to himself and others on what he can really do and the legacy he wanted to leave behind. Likewise, it’s exhausting but I also have to continue to work on my craft and be the best I know I can. If it’s wasn’t for these challenges I would’ve never stretched myself out of my comfort zone and created #CHIPLifestyle or do my first #SneakerUnboxing video! Swipe left for a preview as well as what I rocked last night posting in front of a random parking garage 😂. Kept it lowkey for a lowkey celebration but still wanted to match the purple tone and Kobe Vibe. #TheFitBreakDown
L E G E N D. Although majority of people know him through the #BackToTheFuture series as #MartyMcFly but I remember watching the 🇨🇦 legend as a kid on #SpinCity and reading about him in books and textbooks! It’s awesome to know that a #Canadian actor was so big and had a big influence in a time where it wasn’t common. But what’s most inspiring and admirable about #MichaelJFox is his fight against Parkinson’s and the resilience he has to continue forward! It’s awesome to see him take the time to meet and actually greet his Canadian fans! #fxc18 #fanexpocanada
Last Thursday I went to #ConverseCanada ‘s #ChuckStories event. If you want to know how I attended and for a full recap on what went down including a YouTube recap video then click the link in the bio and swipe left! All in all, it was a pretty cool event but there were certain things that could’ve been done better. Nonetheless, it was pretty awesome to have free food, drinks and ice cream while customizing some kicks! I did what I can with my pair of #ChuckTaylorAllStar trying to tell the story of someone who is hungry for success who can be loyal or also when the time comes, fly solo (wolf patch) and while doing that there will be fear and obstacles that I have to be cautious about but can’t let it prevent me from getting where I wanna go! (yellow & black laces representing caution tape). I wish i could’ve stamped CHIP Lifestyle on it as that’s my inspiration behind putting this design together but it’s all good and we shall see how the brand grows! #CHIPLifestyle #SneakerBlog #EventBlog
Literally one month ago, I went to #Montreal , so better late than never to post this #TheFitBreakDown ! Swipe left to see some random shots in the city and hit the link in bio for the YouTube recap video, solid pics & of course the blog post with all the info! ————————————————————— I know it sounds crazy, but ever since I saw this #MontrealExpos jacket from #UrbanOutfitters & #StarterBlackLabel I envisioned this picture right here. I don’t know what about but I thought it was hella dope. #MTL is a dope city and I’ve been there a couple of times, but it’s never long enough! It was surreal because this was my dad’s first time back in 30 years! From the jacket I knew I had to cop these kicks, even though I didn’t think I had the slightest chance! #atmos absolutely killed it with this #nikeairmax collab! The execution is so good! Make sure you guys check out the post and catch up on everything else from the trip! #Montréal #CHiPLifestyle #MTLMoments #Cooperstown #CheetahPrint #TravelGram #explorecanada #cityview #vieuxmontreal #vintagestarter #starterblacklabel #starter #UOMens #UOonYou #LookForTheStar #lifestyleblogger #travelblog #SLHeat
I promise I’ll wrap up my #montreal trip this week! Before I do, I wanted to do one more food feature and review that is now live on my blog! Swipe left and hit the link in my bio for more! My dad really wanted to visit #saintcatherinestreet for the first time in 30 years so we wanted to grab a bite somewhere nearby. Fortunately, this restaurant was nearby. ———————————————————— (1) Monza Melanzana - Eggplant w/ Tomatoe & Mozzarella (2) Tagliatelle Alfredo - w/ mushrooms (3) Primavera Wood Fired Pizza - Roasted red peppers, spinach, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, semi-dried cherry tomatoes, mozzarella (4) Penne alla Norma - Sautéed Eggplant & Zucchini w/ White Wine, Tomato Sauce & Ricotta #CHIPLifestyle #enotecamonza

Podcast in The Pod

Presented By CHIP Lifestyle

The story behind Podcast in The Pod is simple. Three co-workers (and special guests) having deep, hilarious and heated conversations within one pod (work station) making working on Saturdays much more enjoyable as we (ourselves and other co-workers) all look forward to it! The three of us have talked, or better yet argued, about everything from Bill Cosby to Light Skin vs. Dark Skin to many more topics. It was to the point where we jokingly called this a podcast since our conversations lasted for a while but it was a shame that no one was recording it. The little buzz and excitement gained from our other co-workers led to us finally having these conversations recorded!
