This heat has been UNBEARABLE. So to alleviate the pain, I've decided to jump off a cliff...but seriously. Me and a group of my friends will be going to Hermit falls in arcadia and all of you are invited! I'd love to see you all there.

This outfit was geared towards the hot hot sun. A large hat to keep the sun off my shoulder and airy shirt to let me breathe. The shorts are self explanatory.

A word on Feminism

2013-05-09T23:41:00.001-07:00

I don't usually do this..in fact I never do this, but this needs to be said with so many people misusing the term feminism so..here is a word on Feminism.

Too many people mistake feminism with Misandry.

Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women.This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment (Wikipedia). Do not get it confused with Misandry, which is the hatred of mankind and the likes.

It seems that nowadays, radical feminists and a mass of uneducated/online band-waggoning man haters, get that mixed up. In no way do you have to hate men to be a strong independendent woman with rights. In fact, hating men isn’t at all what feminism is about. Hating men will not get women rights, nor will it put them on equal grounds.

I am a feminist and I say that proudly, but it really really makes me sad when I see women man-bashing for the sake of feminism. Why redirect the anger/hate? Why not aim to absolve it all together. That is all, if you managed to read my little thought rant, thanks/sorry.

Sweater Quick Style tips ft. PRPGNDA

You're all probably sweating looking at these pictures. I don't blame you. I'm sweating now, looking back at these pictures. The best thing about sweaters are that they cover up everything under it, so if you have a terribly ugly collared shirt but it makes for a nice detail piece, slap a sweater on for a cover up. And with that, here comes yet another random style tip.

Sweater quick style tips:
1. If it's a hot day and yet you want to look spiffy in your nice sweater, grab a thin collared shirt you don't really like (or thrift it) and CHOP OFF the sleeves! Yes, that's right, chop them off. You better hope the shirt was cheap, cause now all it is, is a fancy sweater decorator. Throw that sweater over your-now-sleeveless dress shirt and have the same desired look and feel ten times breezier.
2. You have a stained dress shirt? no problem, handy dandy sweater to the rescue! Slap that sweater on and cover up your mess you dirty boy
3. When wearing striped sweaters, try pairing it up with something plain as the stripes itself will gather attention, you don't want the collars to distract from that.
4. Wear thin/fitted dress shirts. Too many times have I seen people wear sweaters with really thick collared shirts under it. It'll bulk up and make you look chunkier, you don't want that!..I think.

To check out more pieces like this sweater, check out Macy's for the fresh line from PRPGNDA!

Desert Hea(r)t

The desert heat can drive a man mad sometime, adaptive measures must then be taken to avoid said insanity. With the Californian sun beating down so hard this past week, I've been lounging in shorts all week. But that doesn't mean you can't be stylish in a pair of shorts. So today here's an outfit I shot back at coachella, pairing burnt orange shorts with a thin black henley to let in the spring breeze and keep you cool and looking cool.

Part III of the Steppie shoot! Last set coming up tomorrow! Seeing as how summer is coming up, shorts season is ~~almost~~ here! What better to wear than a pair of light chambray shorts! Nice and light chambray shorts paired perfectly with a monochromatic blue look for a cool day in the sun.

More tanks and beanies! This shoot was certainly wild, glad to be releasing the second set of looks from the Steppie Clothing shoot! What do you guys think of the pants? Great, not great? Meh? awesome? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

For me, printed pants are kinda like ex girlfriends. You like them a lot for a little while, then you shun them for years, then after several years, it doesn't get quite as awkward seeing them on the streets. But then you see old pictures with them and you think to yourself, "what was I ever thinking?"

Sorry for the lame falling out for the past week. After coachella, Bobby Raffin and my buddy Tim came to stay over, so we've been out and about for the past week and I've completely neglected you guys. Well That neglect is semi over! Here is a quick short post featuring Akufuncture's clean crisp varsity jacket. Also for the winners of the Art Giveaway, there is a SLIGHT delay, I'll be on that again sure enough.

First day of Coachella is officially over for me! No regrets, such a great place to be. Sadly for me, I don't do drunk/drink and other such stuff so the festival itself is not as enjoyable for me. The part I love is just the vibe and the community, fashion forward, free, and fun. I just love it. Let's me explore the inner free spirit in myself. The result? Outfits like these!

This outfit kinda reminds me of walking dead haha, which soon I'll be doing an outfit series for with Yoshi! I'll go more into detail about it later. Love you all!

If you're a bird, I'm a bird

If you're a bird...I'm a bird...NOT. Who'd wanna be a bird, I'd hate to just eat nuts and worms. Don't get me wrong, flying is cool and all but I like being a human.

Movin onto more important things, Brand Pigeonholing. Many people refuse to wear clothes made by a certain brand they don't like because of a negative connotation that it may or may not have.Which is terribly sad, why limit yourself?

So what IS brand pigeonholing you ask? Well glad you asked.

Bran Pigeonholing

/brandˈpijən ˈhōliNG/

Verb.

To create a preconceived idea about a brand and all their piece.

Synonyms

Verb.
Brand Stereotyping

Common failings of Brand pigeonholing schemes include:

Buying expensive brands only (in some cases, this makes sense, but not always, it is good to know your brands as well, just keep an open mind)
Not wearing pieces that may complement your figure simply because the piece is of a brand you dislike (If you can find an H&M piece that fits just as nicely as a zara fit, why not?)
Brands may change over time, so they no longer fit the category in which they have been placed (F21 may decide to step up their game)

So what is the point of all this? Many people will choose not to wear this sweater simply because it's Hollister. And true, Hollister may have a terrible connotation from the past, but who cares. If you like it, wear it, if it makes you confident, wear it! Plus, this sweater was super soft and half the price and double the quality American Apparel makes.

It's obvious that this coach backpack is my favorite one...or my only one for that matter. I need more backpacks, too bad I'm broke. Oh well, speaking of broke, I went on a mountain trip recently. And I don't know if you know this about me, but I love nature! Nature hikes, nature walks, nature centers, ~~natural girls~~, you name it! So here are some of the OOTD pictures from the western town that we visited before heading to a nature walk. It's not as fashion forward or extremely exciting as other outfits, but hey, sometimes, a guy's just gotta be comfortable, yadadamean? ;]

Outfit:

-Tan Suede Button up

-Beige Pants

-White wifebeater/tanktop

-Beige seude shoes

-Leather backpack

So if you haven't noticed, I am in love with motorcycles! In fact I have two, this is my new one, I named her Carol. This bike is going to be fully customized, it is already customized but not fully done just yet. Not by a long shot. So I figured what better way to show this bike off than with a custom pair of 501s. Not only is the bike custom, like the pants, it is also a classic bike. This beauty is a 1974 Honda cb750, classic but custom, just like my pants. Because when I think classic, Levi's always pops up in my mind, as I'm sure it does in all of your minds.

So I decided to pair the two up, I hope you all enjoy! Tell me what you think in the comments below.

I have so many posts to post it's not even funny. Well, I guess it could be funny if my life was a sitcom. Sadly my life is not a sitcom, but it may be one day....This outfit was taken sometime back in December when it was much colder at the Getty. Bethany took me to the Getty as one of the presents for the "12 days of Christmas". She told me wear something casual and warm, so here it is, basic basic basic.

Easter Egg Giveaway!

2013-03-30T15:59:00.002-07:00

CONTEST closed

So peeps (puns very much intended), as you may know, tomorrow is Easter in the states! To celebrate that, I'm having an easter egg giveaway. No that does not mean, I'll give you an actual egg. That would be very laborious and probably not sanitary if you live out of the states.

Instead, I'll be doing an art giveaway, where the winners will receive an "easter egg" that "hatches". Pretty much I'll be holding the giveaway on 3 different platforms, facebook, blogger, and twitter! So that means one egg per platform, so a total of 3 winners! So to increase your chances, enter on the respective platforms, though you can only win once.

Prize:
An easter egg (Illustration) that will "hatch" (I'll send ya another illustration) into a creature/monster/thing that is customized for you, fully inked and colored. Something kinda like this:

So if you win, I'll announce it on the platforms and if you want, I'll be doing the raffle live on my stream if you want to see, but if not, it'll be announced and emailed to you. If you then respond to the e-mail, I'll respond with an illustration of an easter egg as well as a quick questionnaire so I can create something fully customized for you.

How to enter (blogger): http://sudarsobros.blogspot.com
1. Follow my blog on blogger or bloglovin
2. Comment on this post with your E-mail and something fun (this will not help you win, it's purely for my own enjoyment)

Did a shoot with Melly lee for Wongfu merch yesterday and decided to shoot a look as well. I'll do another post on the Wongfu stuff next week!

So last time i did a more casual look with these pants, now I wanted to show you the more dressy option with these pants. Gotta love versatile pants, especially for all the men out there. Our pants are way too expensive to be buying tons of pairs, so if you can use them for more than just one style, I say do it! No need to waste tons of money on something you can only wear once or with one certain outfit haha. Last night we went to the Lookbook.nu party, who else went? I wish I stayed longer but maybe next time! Make sure you guys check out Levis.com for more pantalones. Love you all, Yoshi out!

I took this outfit back when Bethany was working for a whole week and was initially going to post it then and be all emo and be like "omg look at me, I'm sitting on a bench alone" but I was so busy I never got around to it. Now Bethany's back and it's no longer cute, but here are the pictures anyways.

Just another lifestyle post folks, sorry to lag on the outfit posts. Lots of interesting news coming up though. One including a youtube channel hosted by yours truly and Bethany Struble! But that's coming up later. For now I wanna show you guys an update! Just installed these lights in Bethany's house's art studio where I'll start drawing and painting more again. But what do you guys think about the light bulbs? :]

Some days are better off spent in bed. Today especially. The light peaking through the window just lit the room so beautifully so Bethany and I decided to do a fun little shoot. Not exactly an OOTD or an outfit post at all, just a fun set of pictures today. Hope you guys like it. I'm lovin this silk pillowcase from paccony, stays cool when the weather starts to get hot.

This post is a bit late if you follow Bethany or Olivia's blog. But that's okay. About a month back, Bethany and I went on a desert double date getaway trip with Olivia and her boyfriend Michael to Joshua tree, which I must say was one of the most fun vacations I've have in a long time. Sometimes it's just really good to get away and just listen to nature's call. Cause when nature calls....well ya betta answer. Anyways, this outfit was what I wore for nature walks/thrift shopping. Be comfortable and be great :] Also check out this awesome ring I got from TungstenWorld

So anyone who follows my blog would know that I have an affinity for denim jackets. Dark denim, light denim, faded denim, grey denim, black denim, white denim. I must have them all. So when Gap sent me this sample denim jacket, I must admit, I fell in love. But like all good things, it must come to an end, it was hard parting with it after I got so attached to it during NYFW. The best thing about denim jackets though is that they're good all season long :] even during the spring/summer heat, a light and thin denim jacket can keep you cool and smooth. Thanks Gap for letting me style these pieces! Check out the Styld.by collection by clicking on the picture below...far far below!
