friends and lovers

Hey dudez. I’m out and about (dodging sleet storms in Scandinavia), but I wanted to remind you that you can always visit my TUMBLR account for unfettered madness. Less organized, less articulate (if that is even a thing), more updated. See ya.

Photo is from this awesome and clever lady and I think it’s very funny.

boy oh boy

Hello my pets. I’m back from a trip around the world (literally! three weeks: L.A. to L.A.!) and ready to show you some of my discoveries.

First up is a store that Jesse and I stumbled across in Osaka: Beams Boy. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to snap any photos of the store myself (must learn “can I take photos for my American fashion blog?” in Japanese), but thanks to the power of the internet, I can show you the wonder that is Beams Boy.

We were later informed that this is a store for teenagers, but no matter! Trends forever! It seems people around the globe (myself included) are nuts for the American hertiage style, and honestly, who better to see a trend through to obsessive levels than Japanese teenagers? Apologies in advance for the ridiculous amounts of images here. I’m obsessed with Beams Boy. Wait, let me rephrase that more accurately. I’M OBSESSED WITH BEAMS BOY.

I have to write a post about this great song by local L.A. band Fol Chen. I mean, so yeah, I love narrative-driven songs, fine, but this one is just so evocative and awesome — cannot be beat. It makes me want to run back to Palm Springs (there this weekend, more to come on that later!), hole up in a [pepto pink?] motel and wait out the sunlight with a refreshing spritzer.
