Aldo Leaf Ring

When it comes to accessories, I normally don’t indulge unless it’s something unique and not overly ostentatious.  I despise it when men wear something so over the top it distracts from their masculine mystique.  In my case, I need all the testosterroni I could get my mouth on!   Thus, I normally stick to just a watch and my hair.  However, this ring I got at Aldo a couple weeks ago was just too sick to pass up on.  I’ve been toting it around as if it were a secret new installment of the Hunger Games series.

Confession: When I rock it I feel like a sexy greek god from the Immortals.  They should really come out with an accessories line for men named after that movie.

And here’s how it would play out in WeHo:

Lean Guy with a Blackberry: Hey, where’d you get that belt?

Me: (Insert store here).  It’s their newest piece from their Immortals line and I’m going commando.

Lean Guy with a Blackberry:  Nice.

Study Break

I’m in the middle of working on a ten page paper on multicultural American literature and taking a break to eat a red velvet whoopie pie.

Shirt: Salt Valley

If you’re in SoCal, stay dry!  It’s raining like cats and dogs out here.

Real Men Have Curves!

Ok, well maybe the headline is too much of a blanket statement, but I’m speaking for other dudes out there that have an ass.  Over the weekend, I made it a point to hunt for some new pants, specifically some new skinny jeans.   I must have tried on 5 pairs of Levi’s skinny jeans, and none would go past my bubble butt.   But how could this be?   At H&M, I’m a size 30 (and you KNOW their sizes tend to run a little smaller).   The American made Levi’s 511 skinny jeans (SIZE 32) would not even go past my ethnic bedunk!  WTF?   If I went a size higher, it would just look wrong on all accounts.  Imagine a farmer with a baggy ass and skinny legs.  So this is why I haven’t blogged in awhile, I’ve been on a secret mission to find a new pair of some baby blues.  Haha, just kidding, the real reason is that work and grad school got the best of me the past couple of weeks.    Luckily, I happen to find myself at a Kohl’s and stumbled onto Mark Anthony’s clothing line at Kohl’s.   To be honest, the clothes don’t really stand out to me (just because they are basic looks that are available pretty much anywhere), but you can tell the fabric is high quality and durable, which is probably why the original retail price is pretty steep.  With curiosity getting the better of me, I grabbed a few pairs of jeans from his collection and tried them on.  Survey says:  Wow, perfect fit.  Who would have thought?   I’m taking the liberty of leaving out any jokes/associations you are probably all making in your head right now as you read this with regard to J. Lo’s well known booty and her former connection to Anthony, and the influence she may have had on the design.  That being said, if you’re looking for a slim pair of pantalones, but your derrière is a little bit more pronounced, then Mark Anthony’s jean collection at Kohl’s is a sound investment to cover your assets.

My own pics to come soon everyone (I’m camera shopping).

Halloween Costume: Dreamworks Logo

Not the most stellar photo of me, but I wanted to share with you all what my costume was for Halloween this year. Here’s a picture of how I Dreamwork’d it last night!

I spray painted my black chucks and an $11 Disney Princess toy fishing pole!  Making the cloud was so hard.  Props to my very good friend Anabel who made the moon for me.

Threadless Good Shirts for Unicef

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I love it when fashion lends itself to being part of a global solution.  Threadless’ “Good Shirts” line (designed by Justin and Christine Gignac) is raising money for Unicef.  Each shirt has a unique design and helps support the purchase of different things from measles vaccines and food, to basic family water kits.

Coggles New Arrivals

Our friends across the pond at Coggles have some new arrivals.  I did some “edits” (I love when Rachel Zoe says this on her show) and here are my pulls.  A lot of these items can be paired together for a refreshing hip look.  I include the name of the brand and the name of the article of clothing so you can look them up.

Zac Efron Celebrates Birthday in Charcoal Gray Suit

There seems to be a trend going on with celebrity men and their charcoal gray suits.  Checkout Zac leaving The Box in London last Friday night as he celebrated his 24th birthday.  He’s been MIA and keeping a low profile this year.  Seriously, this is the first time in awhile we’ve seen him all dressed up.  Hopefully hibernation time is almost over.  The red carpet has a void to fill.  With three movies slated to come out next year, we’ll definitely see more of this dapper fellow donning on a suit for premieres.  Until then, we’ll just have to settle with seeing him out and about in what seems to be his favorite brand of WeSC jeans.  But let’s be honest here.  Whether he’s dressed up to the nines or rocking street wear, he has swagger no matter what.
