Worth a Look

Happy New Year everybody!

New Year's Resolution #1: Write one post every day.  So technically I should have started yesterday, but cut me some slack, it was a holiday after all. Anyways, lets do this!

So I've basically given up on Gilt and Jackthreads. 99% of what they offer is terrible. Maybe even more than that. And the same is true for all of these bargain sites.  So is it worth receiving 50 bull sh*t emails from websites like Rue La La, Bell and Clive, and Frank and Oak each day? Probably not. But thats the price I pay for sort of trying to run a clothing blog.  But every so often, once in a blue moon as they say, I'll find a great deal.

And today I happened to find something that I did like. I think I may have blogged about these shoes in the past, but check them out in these other colors.

Classic Canvas Sneakers by Warrior $30

I think I want them in navy this time. So cheap! I already have the pair on the left, and they are wonderfully worn in, great "beater" shoes.  Anyways, the point is, Gilt and Jackthreads can still deliver, you just have to be willing to look through the mud.

Ok and now on a complete side note, I have a style question for you.  I was just cleaning out my closet, when I found these super hipster shoes that I've never worn.  My High School girlfriend gave them to me way back when, and I awkwardly tried to thank her, while secretly wondering why on earth she had bought me these used argentinian bowling shoes. I'm not sure I had the best poker face at the time, and never wearing them didn't help my cause either.  

But that was then, this is now.  I rocked them all day today, and I'm starting to like them.  

So, what do you think?

Never Stop Collecting

And I do mean never.

Soccer Watch

Its Friday!!! Very exciting.

Anyways, I bought my friend this watch for his birthday a while back.  I think its great.

'94 World Cup Watch $40

I bought it on Ebay, and it arrived a few weeks before the big day.  It sat on my desk, staring at me, constantly teasing me.  I wanted it for myself.  I wanted to rip open the box, and feel the smooth rubber against my wrist.  I wanted to blog about my new treasure. I wanted the hipster glory, it was all but mine... 

Unfortunately, I had already told his stupid girlfriend about it, so I couldn't give in to temptation.  Probably for the best I guess.  For my friend that is, not me.  :(

That was several months ago, but every time I see that World Cup logo on his wrist, I grow green with envy.  So I recently went snooping around the web to see if I could find a similar item for myself. And well, I actually found a slight variation that I may like even better.  

Analog/Digital Vintage World Cup Watch $60 or Best Offer

It would still be kind of lame to buy it, but no friendship can truly trump a great watch.  I'll have to think about it.

Enjoy the weekend,

Monday Madness

As my boy Kanye sort of once said:

I've always had a passion for fashion, before I buy it,
I close my eyes and imagine...

And I imagine that I may have to buy this sweatshirt soon.

Vintage ACC Tournament Sweatshirt $26

The picture isn't great, so make sure to click the link for a few more angles.  It's so cool.  The "bros" will love it.

But OK so if I were wearing this, I might pair it with this vintage tissot.

Vintage Tissot $145

And now lets pretend I'm in a cool urban basketball league, and I'm walking to the game, wearing my watch, and my sweatshirt. But where do I put my gym clothes?  Gotta find a bag.

Vintage Purple Nike Gym Bag $75 or Best Offer

I think I'd offer $40.  75 is way too much.  But just to complete the look, I think these shoes would do.

Clae Gregory $100

But no pants, I'm not wearing pants.

Happy Monday,

Shoes

My Dad once told me that I was the only person he knew who had more shoes than my Mother. But unlike her, no peep-toe pumps, no sparkling flats.

Straight dunks.

In high school I was all Nike. My old high school sweetheart (miss you girl <3 ) used to say that I had ten pairs of the same kind of shoe. She was kind of right.  But also, very wrong.

I've moved on since then, branched out shoe-wise, became a man, etc, etc.  But anyways the point is, I like sneakers. So naturally, I kind of want this print.

Sneaker Print $32

I call it, "Shart"  Shoe art.
