ryan gosling Vs Mario Testino

Both of these looks are awesome.... as is Ryan.

VS fashion show

My mom and I had an annual tradition of watching the Victoria's Secret fashion show together. I have not lived at home for a few years now but that hasn't stopped me from watching it every year. My wife and I carry on the tradition proudly.

Mario Testino X CNN

I found my new favourite show. It's called Revealed on CNN. It has a nice "day in the life" feel but also tells the whole story. It's really well putt together.

part 3 of 4

Jason Dill should write a book. I say that about a lot of people, but with Dill i actually mean it. Another thing about if Dill wrote a book, I would read it.

I'm not going to over load by posting the other parts of this series. If you cared about it you:
one, have already seen it,
two, would find it yourself.


sorry about the lack of post this week. No interweb for a week.....bummer.

javier X esquire magazine

ZURIICK fall sale.

F.C.S.I vintage edition.

Yes that is me in the middle. I guess I have always had a style dilemma. Either that or I have always been ahead of the game.... you be the judge.


Ps. My sister always has the most proper stance.
Thanks Robert for the photo.

Denim

I have a little passion for the right pair of jeans. I have been on a quest for my whole life to find the "go to" jeans. For me, those jeans are Levis 511 in dark blue. I think they call it Indigo....whatever. These jeans are the perfect colour and fit. I wear them, nearly, everyday.... you could tell by the gross swampy smell that was developing in the crotch.

I am, also, a strong advocate of not washing your jeans. I wash mine every 6 months or so, never sooner, usually later. I washed mine for the first time since December a couple days ago. The method i use for washing them is in a bath tub filled with cold water. I use a minimal amount of detergent and let them soak for 20 minutes and then work them in the water and soak for another 20 (one of these days I will give a full tutorial). I'm sure a lot of this you don't care about but the result is worth it. My wife got me a new pair because they were on sale and she is aware of my love for them. I thought I would post side by side shots so you can see the difference and the uniqueness you get from wearing them in yourself.




one of these days I will try these.

Mickey Drexler X Wall street journal

Mickey Drexler is a smart guy. He is the man in charge of J crew. The Wall Street Journal did a really good article on him a couple months ago and I never got around to posting it. CLICK HERE

...and now a word from Valentino

best place in the continental USA

ps. that is a Canada tourism set up to the right.

marc jacobs & Louis Vuitton

This is a very interesting documentary. It's playing this wednesday in salt lake city as part of their fashion week activities. I will be unable to attend so I thought I could find it online, and turns out I could. Enjoy

I'm not sure how much of a fan of Marc Jacobs I am, the only item i have thought of buying of his was a wallet.

HUF shoes

HUF has been killing it since day one. His collections/collaborations have grown organicially since he first opened the doors of his SF shop.

He now started a footwear line that i know will be legit.

I haven't gone bowling for a long time....

I have recently started reading the blog White Lightning. I am not just a fan of it because my bowling name is White Lightning....true story, just ask Baby Duck or The Hammer. This blog is fashionable, stylish and super funny. Chock full of Lady Gaga things, including the very detailed review of her latest video.



my "favourites" tab is getting a little full.

Andrew from Kell on Earth

So, Kell on Earth is my new favourite show. This guy (andrew) is kellys' assistant. I'm not even a little fan of his style...gross, but his passion for it is respectful. This dude is such a personality that you can't help but be stoked on him (no homo).


PS>. I think that was the first time I have ever used "no homo" and it was actually in context...I think.

Spike Vs. Opening Ceremony

I recently made a list of companies I would like to work for. Opening Ceremony was one of them (ace hotel was another). This is a cool behind the scenes/bio of the store. Really informative and smart questions. I like the idea, of doing something awesome without knowing how to do anything.

more Madonna D&G photos

Found some more pictures from the Madonna Dolce & Gabbana campaign. Such beteautiful pictures, and it's nice to see a domesticated madonna.

Mary Kate

This picture as a whole isn't that awesome, but I do love the ring over top of the glove. I am one who loves wearing rings etc, thus, i can appreciate the wearing of a good ring.

ps. it's snowing outside, how gross.
