on the eve of July 4th...

Take your top off and tan

As I write this, I am lazying around listening to Lana Del Rey and The Embassy(they are ah-mazing!). I guess I'm just exhausted by all the 'summery' things going on. But today is a day of reflection, more so a day of recharging my batteries since tomorrow is the 4th of July! I'll have to kick my liver into high gear, 'cause I don't know about you guys, but we don't do fireworks, we do fireball whisky!

Happy 4th of July eve!

summer blues

So, the last three days have the muggiest. I mean, I live in Santa Cruz, not London...no longer does the suns golden rays shine on me. It's all but gray clouds and drops of rain. I'm afraid to take my camera out(borrowed it from my sister) because the weather might destroy it. What's a boy to do? Take pictures inside with a tripod? I guess so. I'll post up my attempts tonight and see how those work out.

Patrik Ervell S/S 13

This season at Ervell was very sporty and chic. What with the wind breakers and the nylon teva sandals. Not gonna lie, I'm not a huge fan of the teva, mainly because I think it's vulgar for a young man to show his feet when not swimming or at the beach. I guess that's a personal problem and I'll have to note this in a later post. But regardless, the collection was pretty awesome. I'm obsessed with nylon because of the 'swishy' sounds it makes when it rubs against itself. You can kind of sashay around and let people know you've arrived in a way.

Frankie Morello is Rolling with the Homies

                                              

This year Frankie Morello decided to go Rolling with the Homies. The collection is very Urban throughout. The oversized b-boy pants and shirts with the gold all over. High top sneakers, baseball caps and the baggy silhouette was surprising to see, since last season was very slim and chic and really close to my personal taste.

The Chanel Games

It’s as if the models were seeing light for the first time. I don’t know if it was the music or the setting, but it felt very ‘Garden of Eden’ or ‘Planet of the Apes.’ As if the humans were the equivalent of a petting zoo showcasing little ‘puppy’ outfits for the apes.
