ALL DAY I DREAM ABOUT...

So I'm hanging out listening to some Y2K tunes and A.D.I.D.A.S by Killer Mike ft Big Boi came on and if you didn't know A.D.I.D.A.S stands for "All day I dream about sex" but think about this; Adidas is the sports company...sooooo the acronym could be  "all day I dream about sneakers" Adidas sneakers to be exact...Woah right. I think someone was trying to push some product through subliminal messaging.

CRAZY TAXI FT. STUSSY, CONVERSE AND TOMMY BAHAMAS

Do you remember playing Crazy Taxi for Game Cube? It came out in 2001 for the game console and was my absolute favourite game. Since I still like to indulge in video games every once in a while I never got rid of my Game Cube. The other night I was bored and nothing was on TV so I pulled out all the cords and games and finally decided on revisiting my childhood with some “CARAZZZY DRIVING!”

I had been playing for less than 10 minutes when I noticed a really amusing thing. All the characters; Gena, Axel, Gus and B.D Joe were all dressed in current trends!!

Axel and Gus sporting on trend floral button up shirts and Tommy Bahamas which you see flying off the racks in every vintage store and over populating the mens sections in places like Top Shop and online at ASOS. 

 

Now Gena is sporting the good footwear, people have always loved Converse but it's been more popular since this summer and can be seen on all the fashion forward women's' feet, although I'm not a fan of the orange; Gina still has the best kicks. 

Last but not least B.D Joe, my personal favourite not only for his great lines and ginormous smile but for his kick ass bucket hat! All summer I saw people in floral bucket hats but even now into winter, working down the street from Stussy- I probably see at least 5 people a week coming into Oak + Fort with bucket hats on. 

You just have to love reoccurring trends, without them we wouldn't be able to relate to the characters of our childhood! Also how great were the stops you had to make- Pizza Hut and the Levi store; they were so on point with those two.

I'M BACK, AND I COME WITH JUICE CLEANSE WISDOM

HI GUYS!!!! I’m back on that computer game. It turns out all I needed was a new battery, which I got and it fixed absolutely every horrible thing that was happening with my computer.

Now that I’m back in the beautiful world of Internet and computers I want to share with you guys this 3-day juice cleanse I did.

My friend and I decided to do an at home juice cleanse because it was way cheaper than the $200 each we’d pay to do a professional one and oh my god it was the grossest, hardest thing I’ve ever done. It sounds so easy right, a juice cleanse; drinking juice for 3-days seems like nothing. You’re getting your veggies and the recipes should be tasty right? Nope. It’s awful.

This cleanse I found was on the Dr.Oz website and he apparently had been doing it for 60 days so I thought wow; this cleanse is going to be dope, if he can do it for 60 days I can do it for 3.

For starters you have to drink 16 ounces of water with ginger and lemon in the morning and if you do too much ginger trust me it’s not easy to get down. Next you have to drink 5 juices and the juices fill up a whole jar so it’s a lot of liquid to consume in one day.

The first juice is super yummy and a blend of carrot and apple and is so tasty I could drink it everyday and it lead me to believe that the rest of the juices would be super yummy as well. When I made the second one I could barely get through it, the amount of kale and ginger and root vegetables you put in is a HUGE shock to the taste buds.

Sadly the rest of the juices were the same and we had to plug our noses and chug the juices without puking.

Luckily things got easier by the third day and we were able to change the recipes a little so they were edible. But oh my god juice cleanses are not for the faint of heart.  Our last night we finished the juices and had our strictly veggie dinner and half an hour later we were so hungry we made pizza…and put ham on it… But we finished the 3 days of juice so it’s aloud right?!

Probably not but wow that pizza was the greatest thing I’ve ever tasted.

For the 3 days we had been planning our big meal back on the solid food scene and decided on Bandidas, which is funny because it’s all vegetarian food but we went with it and got the BIGGEST burritos and topped them off with a cocktail because hey why not? It’s Saturday and we did a cleanse so we deserved something tasty and bad.

BRB MY LIFE JUST BROKE

Sorry my loves, my computer battery completely warped and has fallen out and the button no longer works. I'll have more posts for you in the next two weeks!!!

CREEPY CRAWLIES

I was in Ikea buying some succulents and curtains for my room the other day and I noticed almost everything had an insect theme. Curtains, pillows, and bedding! I know that’s been a trend in fashion but for interiors I don’t know if I can get behind that.

Your home and your bed are not places you want to associate with bugs. Right?!

WHAT DOES YOUR FACIAL HAIR SAY ABOUT YOU?

This one goes out to the male readers out there, or the girlfriends that are concerned about their boos look. 

Face it; facial hair is what you’re being judged on these days. With all the cuts, styles and shaves it can be confusing to decide on the right look to represent who you are and how you want to be seen by society. To make your job a little easier I’ve compiled a list of styles and what they say about you, but be warned there are a select few decent looks that you should stick with. Choose wisely.

The “Handlebar”

Handlebar Moustaches used to be seen as the “classy” moustache in the 1940’s, you would see rich men drinking champagne and tickling the rim of their glass, was a thick beautifully twisted moustache. It again rose to popularity in contemporary culture when hipsters took it over as their signature look, thus giving the handlebar moustache a “douchebaggy” connotation.

The “Pencil thin”

In todays society pencil thin moustaches are rarely seen in day-to-day life probably because most people associate them with being “pervy”, all in all if you find yourself with one of these moustaches you should shave it immediately…

The “Goatee”

Traditionally in medieval and renaissance art Satan was generally depicted as having a goatee. In popular culture generally only guys that think they are all that but have clearly missed the boat on what’s cool rock a goatee.

The “Tom Selleck”

So if you’re familiar with Friends (which I hope you are) then you’ll know Chandler and Joey craved Richard’s (Tom Selleck) moustache, due to the distinguished look it represented. If you are fortunate enough to grow a Tom Selleck then you’ll soon find yourself with a scotch on the rocks, smoking a cigar, with a flock of beautiful ladies by your side.  You really can’t go wrong with this one.

The “Crustache”

Here are the telltale signs you’re sporting a crustache; it’s patchy, scraggly, or your moustache looks like your 12-year-old brother’s did when he thought it was a good idea to try growing a moustache. If any of these signs sound familiar, immediately shave.

The “Chinstrap”

If groomed correctly the chinstrap can add definition to your jawline, if you let it grow out…just don’t, you want that jaw definition.

The “Nottingham”

The last time you saw this one was either that time you took a jog through the forest just to happen across a plaid clad lumberjack or that time you went over for steak at your uncles house. If you have one of these it says you’re manly enough to grow a beard AND respectable enough to keep it clean.

The “Soul Patch”

There are a million and one good things from the 90’s that have come back this year; the soul patch isn’t one of them. If you have one of these now it says your boy band still hasn’t been signed. But keep trying; we’re all waiting for a new N’Sync. Seriously.

The “Muttonchops”

You’re sideburns have become unruly and your cheekbones cannot be located. The only plausible reason for these heaps of hair to take over your face is if your face gets insufferably cold, if so shave your face and buy a trapper hat.

The “Big Beard with Long Hair”

You probably listen to metal, and go to metal shows, and hangout with all your metal friends that also have big beards and long hair. You guys are probably drinking cheap beer in the back of a van full of amps and drums. There might be some left over beer from the other day in your big beard. 

The “Big Beard No Moustache”

Hi, planet of the apes called and told us to tell you that you stole their look.

The “Big Beard No Hair”

No one understands how this happens, it must be by choice and that’s a really bad choice.  This style leaves us questioning who shaves their head but grows their beard, other than the people on storage hunters.
