Ellen Has My Shirt

Just spotted Ellen Degeneres on American Idol sporting my favorite Band of Outsiders Madras shirt from their Spring/Summer 2010 line.  I have to give credit where credit is due and the lady has some steez. Shirt is available at Tres Bien.

Retail Therapy: Band of Outsiders Sweat Shorts

I’ve expressed my affinity for sweat shorts once before. But this Band of Outsiders Sweat Short puts everything that has come before to shame. I don’t think you can make a pair of fashionable sweat shorts any better than this. And the toggle drawstrings make this near perfect. Paired with a deep v-neck and navy boat shoes and you've got yourself an instant summer classic.

Sleep in Style

Band of Outsiders and Opening Ceremony teamed up to create pajamas for the modern day hustler! Several styles made with the usual great Band of Outsiders quality to help you sleep in full slumber. Snatch these at OC Ace Hotel Store.

Food Day

I was filtering through our photo archives and I found some pictures from last month's LA Street Food Fest.  If there is anything I love as much as clothes and shoes, it's food. Roughly 30+ food trucks and thousands of people showed up at this event.  Food trucks like Buttermilk Truck, Grilled Cheese Truck, Flying Pig, and Komodo are the hottest craze in Los Angeles and they were all present and within reach from each other. As long as you were prepared to endure the marathon wait and lines.  It was a wild, hot, crowded, and crazy day. All for the love of amazing street food.

My absolute favorite cart/truck was Dogzilla.  Japanese style hot dogs on hawaiian sweet bread is pure bliss.

It was raining all week leading up to this perfect Southern California Saturday.  At a suprising 85+ degrees in the middle of February, I forgot my shorts and flip flops at home.

My digs:

Shirt: Gitman Vintage

Bottoms: Uniqlo

Shoes: Band of Outsiders x Sperry

This young money was the highlight of our day.

Stay Classy.

Whether you like it or not, there is always that occasion that you have to get dressed up for. One of the most essential accessories to dressing up is a tie. The right tie can set your outfit off. Simplicity and size is key. One of my favorite brands for ties is Band of Outsiders(also just a great brand all around). Check some of them out...

Another favorite would have to be Rag & Bone. The knit tie is a personal favorite.

These are just a few examples of what can make your outfit that much better, whether it's for a wedding or just for a night of clubbing. Stay classy.

It's Friday, we love it

We are planning to indulge in some drinking and dancing tonight. Should be a casual location and I just want to be comfortable. As I plan out my fit, I also have to take account that it should be chilly and possibly even wet in Downtown LA. Here is my plan of attack. Thoughts?
