Movie Critic: Oscar nods
So this weekend brought the rain and movie goers. I caught up on some
of the nominate films. Saw Juno and thought it was hilarious. Michael
Cera is classic and Ellen Page was sharp.
of the nominate films. Saw Juno and thought it was hilarious. Michael
Cera is classic and Ellen Page was sharp.
Saw No Country for Old Men and although it was well directed keeping
the viewer at the edge of their seat I didn't care for all of the
symbolism.
I turn my attention to Atonement and Michael Clayton. Atonement is not
what many were telling me. I enjoyed the format of the story telling,
but never connected with the story itself. It would make a better book.
Michael Clayton was up to par. This was some of George Clooney's best
work. The story was well written and the list of big stars attached to
this production ensures its success. This is definitely one to see.

Time piece: Vestal Natural 77
Let's talk casual time piece. You want to throw something on with some jeans when you are going to a breakfast spot with your girl or buddies. This is the perfect piece to wear. It is artsy and modern. Vestal is one the best brands in action sports and they are rooted in music. Their time pieces are definitely the most unique and functional.

Kenneth Cole New York Watch
The trend is to find a watch that doesn't hide the inner gears of the watch. It has become classy to see the "guts" of the watch. This is a perfect pick. It is sophisticated and impressive.
The Everybody Slip Mini Shoe
I am digging the detailing on these ALIFE slips. Nothing is better than pattern and texture on your kicks. If you are wearing a plain tee with jeans, this is a great shoe to strap on.

How many shoes should you own
So be it that it is sneaker month, we should go over how many shoes you should own. If you are a sneaker head like me you need to think about what type of shoes to own rather than how many you should own.The types of shoes you need to have are sneakers for casual outings, trainers for the gym, and dress shoes for an interview, work, or formal occasion. A good choice of sneakers are Nike air max, skate shoes, or vans; shoes that can be worn with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Vans have become more versatile that it can be worn with pants and a blazer, these are my daily shoes.
Dress shoes are tricky. Don’t just go to payless and get a $20 pair of black loafers with a plastic sole. They are uncomfortable and cheap looking. Invest in a real pair of dress shoes with a square toe and leather sole. The leather sole is more comfortable and professional looking. My favorite store is Aldo shoes, but you can find a solid pair at Macy's or Nordstrom. Remember, buy black first because black matches everything.
So for the basic shoe closet you need 3 shoes maybe 4: one casual pair in black and brown, gym shoes and a solid pair of dress shoes.

DC Volcano Lemar and Dauley Artist Project
So the DC Volcano was the brain child of the 2094 collaboration between New Era and DC. This model is boss. I have posted the green and blue jay ones, but this is even better. DC did an artist project with Lemar and Dauley and the creation is to the left. All I have to say is, black and white houdstooth tongue...nice.Keep your eye out at http://www.karmaloop.com/ for them. They are out of stock right now, but hopefully will get more.
Volcom buys Electric Visual
For you business tycoons this could be good news for the once hot stock on Wallstreet. For a time Volcom (VLCM Nasdaq) was the hot apparel stock to own. It soared to the $40's but now is a dismal $15. In the wake of poor consumer spending, apparel brands like these have been burned. To show investors that Volcom is on the move they acquired Electric Visual for a cool $25.25 million cash. Electric is one of my favorite eyewear brands and is growing exponentially. It is probably one of the strongest eyewear brands in the action sports industry and is continually gaining brand recognition from art, media, music, you name it.
I think Volcom needed this. There business model was getting stale and it was kinda of a fad on wallstreet. This aquisition is the first of many I am sure. To be a powerhouse in the industy you need to own multiple product lines. Quiksilver owns 18brands and look at Billabong with VZ, Nixon, Kustom, and more. Volcom is on the right track and should be on the up and up. I would look for it to pick up steam in the summer leading into the fall back to school season.

Apple MacBook Air
Apple is rocking the world, again. Just when you thought a leak that raw material orders for the ipod decreased, which sent the stock price on a roller coaster ride, was putting an end to this high flyer...Apple debuts the MacBook Air. Weighing in at 3 lbs with a thicknes of 0.76 inches, this thing is insane and for $1799, not too overly priced.

RVCA Romero Jeans
Lets talk fitted straight leg jeans. I have been answering a lot of questions about buying these types of jeans and what brand to get. My ultimate pick right now, throwing it out on the table, is RVCA's Romeros. The price point is good at around $60 and the fit is spot on. If you are a skinnier dude like myself, this is the jean to get. Get the dark rinse.

Great conversation chair
Lets talk interior design. Urban Outfitters has some good and fairly affordable offerings these days. Saw this Lu Lu chair; the name doens't scream, "hey dude buy me," but the styling is top notch. It is a brown and black houndstooth with is ultra savvy and take a closer look at the tucked throw cushion. Very classic and sophisicated. It is modern yet comfortable and a great chair to pair with a solid couch in the living room. Get the brown or as they call it "espresso" legs for this chair, it makes it look more expensive.
Unique Andy Warhol Time Piece
Browsed the watches and wasn't really impress with too much out there. Everything seems done and trying. This little number caught my eye. Unqiue, for sure. Effective for time telling, not so much. Imagine if you were wasted and tried to tell the time on this baby. Pricey, indeed. Drop 3 bills and you got yourself one.

Dim Mak say what?
The DJ Kid Millionaire himself, Steve Aoki brings to your door step...Dim Mak. The clothes are art, celebs where it. Bright colors and repeated prints makes it stand out on its own, not to mention the abstract designs.
Did some research and it means the Death Touch, some kind of martial arts pressure points deal. I dig it.

Supra Muska Gold Skytop LTD
For you Entourage watchers do you rememeber Muska's short stint as the punk ass in a PT cruiser spitting on Drama's Escalade? Muska don't tell me you sanctioned them to have you drive in a PT cruiser drop top.
Well that was then and these are his limited gold kicks. Flashy. Mr. Hollywood is endorsing a nice product here.

I am a sneaker head and January is going to be sneaker month. Lets start.
Vans is one of my favorite brands and I where the classic slip-ons everyday. The price point is solid too from $40-$55 and the shoes last forever.
White skinny jeans...yay or nay
So I found this question on yahoo answers posted by a guy who just
purchased white skinny jeans. Fellas the slim fit jean is in but white
is not the color. I would suggest a washed out grey or a light grey as
an alternative for a light color jean.

The Replacement
What I hate to see is the hoodie and blazer look. The blazer has gone casual and can be worn with jeans, but wearing a hoodie takes it a little too far. In the off chance that this look is more functional in terms of warmth than look, I have the proper alternative to layering a blazer. Instead of a hoodie wear a full zip sweater with a mock turtle neck. Keep the look clean with the sweater and lose the messy hood sticking out from the blazer collar.
2008 pick
Welcome to 2008. Here is a solid look to start off new year. With it being winter, layers are a good way to add depth and texture to what you are wearing. Try pairing these two items together from Heritage. I would wear these with a dark wash slim fit pair of jeans and a black studed belt. You want to tuck the shirt in so it does not hang out under the vest. This look is inexpensive and sophisticated.
