Colour(s) Pt. 2

via The Sartorialist

Band of Outsiders is ridiculous w tailored garments, complementing colors, & bringing together unconvential trends & making it a staple to complete a look.

 

My interpretation as a post-college cowboy intellect. HAM!

 

AMBUSH x VERBAL of Teriyaki Boyz.  He’s coming out with his own album, VISIONAIR due out soon.  Sickest accessories!

 

this burgundy bomber with contrasting gold zips goes HAM.  Nobody wants to mess with a dude in a bomber!

 

Need I say more?

 

 

Colour(s) pt. 1

Leader’s 725 track aluminum frame.  SWEET color, nice lines, & a nice price point for the introductory cyclist.

So jealous of Theo’s snapback LVRS hats!  The mixtape isn’t bad either!

Jeremy Scott x Swatch!! the frame blk/gold Swatch goes haaaaard. OUT MARCH 6th at select Swatch stores.

Basic monotone with the HUGE blazer nike check and outsole.  I’m not really  a fan of high tops but I’d have to make an exception for these!

Primary colors, pretty loud but the grey nubuck sneaks round out the outfit without making it to flashy.

I’m a sucker for EYEWARE & minimal gestures of lines & shapes to create art & to get the message across.  The Hundreds does it huge with the transparent acetate frame & sunburst lens.  It’s easily recognized as Socal/skate culture, & theres a small The Hundreds navy blue hit on the arm.  Also, Bobby & Co use the Adam Bomb without the sparks as lens silhouettes.  So simple yet so elegant.  FLOSSSSY, never flashy.

My brother brought to my attention that SUPREME doesn’t have a symbol or “face” to the brand.  Just the name, “SUREME”.  Do they need anything else to make a statement other than their elitest locution?

UPDATE: As of last night, BOWSER is missing/stolen.  I refuse to acknowledge that hes gone because I know he’ll turn up!  Operation Bowser Rescue is a go.

The importance of being HUMBLE.

actions speak louder than words.

Exhibit A:

 

PSA for all Johnny Cupcakes fans!

Its crazy to me how lonely someone can be, walking around in a new city, or even a new area in your neighborhood & not feel welcome or feel at home.  We all want to make SOMETHING out of ourselves & share that with the world yet there are hateful, immature, & cruel people quick to stand up & testify that your empire is bound to fail.  It goes to show you their true colors & how less of a person/opinion they have in your life.

The Simple Things

MOMENTUM.

We all WANT things; its perpetual.  In this consumer-based capitalism nation, expert marketers & salespersons influence our decisions.  Are we really independent of our own thinking or are we influenced & swayed to YES or NO or “I gotta get that & that & that!”?  Do we experience INCEPTION in some form?  Are we just byproducts of our environment, our experiences, or is there more independence of making a choice?  The only way we can truly know what we want is what we feel inside.  If it feels right inside.  If where you are is where you belong or want to be.  There is no remorse & “what ifs”.  Right now I am where I want to be.

I believe that all the DE JA VU flashes are a reminder that we are on the right track..

FAIRYTALES are true!

We face many dragons in childhood but its in maturehood that these dragons are fire-breathers, cheaters, wife-beaters, non-believers, thievers & wackjivers.  But i firmly believe in my former Catholic background that God doesn’t put you in situations that S/he thinks you can’t handle.  Don’t take yourself for granted.  Believe you can, and you will.

The irony…

The irony of COMMITMENT is that it’s deeply LIBERATING- in work, in play, & in love.  The act FREES you from the tyranny of your internal critic. from the fear that likes to dress itself up & parade around as rational hesitation.  To COMMIT is to remove your head as the barrier to your life. —

 

Keep doing what you’re doing..

If you love to do something, keep doing it.  Don’t stop.   Your love, passion, & desire to  pursue or continue your hobby is worthwhile & may open those once-in-a-lifetime hidden doors to FAME or to reach that goal you’ve been trying to grab.  Don’t let the average joe or non-believers distract you one bit, and dont let yourself get in the way of your talent/skill.  Remember that changing people’s lives begins with changing yourself.  Some people are natural born leaders & others hear their calling at different times in different ways.

I need this on my wall/window.. I think I’ll stencil one myself.

I love little messages sprinkled around the internet like the one above.  I guess you could say its modern-day graffiti on the internet.

I love typography.

I love minimalism in art but I also admire ornate & kitschy things.  I love art. I can’t just be a fan anymore.  Time to get my hands dirty.
