green grass

its holiday season. ive noticed lately just talking to friends and hearing about their plans.. that a lot of people find the thought of having to go out and buy gifts is tiresome.. and so is the act of making an appearance at family dinner or gatherings. I know it’s not the same for everyone but i got asked if i even had to buy gifts for anyone and it hit me. I really dont have any family around me anymore that i would put in the effort to. i mean i have family in china but im so disconnected from them that i dont even bother. thats something ive got to figure out but i guess to all the people who are fortunate to have proper functioning families and friends around you, please cherish and enjoy the time that you have.

happy holidays

Earlier this year, i was browsing the WTAPS spring summer 2016 catalogue and noticed these jeans. I haven’t felt like I really needed something that bad in a long while and knew I had to grab these when they released no matter what. So i waited.. i waited day by day, months until nearly the end of summer! August rolled around and I was actually convinced they scrapped these or something and werent going to end up releasing them. Lo and behold, I’m in Japan in the last week of august with my friend and these jeans drop. I had already gone to the GIP store once and had to make a second trip because these came out a day after. And i got em! What a feeling. They were pricy but the best jeans i’ve ever owned, style and fit wise. Love em.

Course they came out at HAVEN when i returned to vancouver.. in september. Oh well, sometimes its like that, the experience of being in Japan and trying/purchasing them in store wont ever be forgotten though.

Florals for winter

Supreme! These thermal longsleeves have a muted floral pattern printed on them. They look borderline like lingerie or pyjamas for dudes but something about it works. You can totally see how Supreme kind of plays around every season with products like this. They lightly push the traditional masculine “menswear” barrier and make weird stuff like this look “cool”.
