A few things I have learned this week: I can type my debit card information in under five seconds (very scary), online classes are so much better than IRL classes, and moving to New York is going to drain my wallet upon moving there. I have 156 days left until I graduate from UofA and get ready to make the biggest move yet. That's 156 days left to find jobs, internships, apartments, an overcoat, new boots!!! Gee Willikers. So that's not stressful at all. Not to mention actually graduating as well. But, thank goodness I'm 20 and capable and motivated as hell. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">HELP ME!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span><br />
This outfit was so weird for me. I feel like I have a generally polished style, but nothing like a walking J. Crew ad. Usually my clothes are old, tattered, from the thrift store, but I am always mixing it up. I'd like to call this my <i>fast-fashion</i> look. <u>Shirt from Gap, shorts Ben Sherman, shoes are Cole Haan, sunglasses Forever 21</u>. Have I gone nuts? No, not really. Who would resist buying a basic white button up from Gap if it was only $7. That's basically Goodwill prices, but new. THANK YOU ECONOMY. This look is the one exception I grant towards fast-fashion brands and any cynicism I have towards the distopic reality of malls.<br />
<br />
Lastly, the title of the look came from this song that I CANNOT stop listening to by Phèdre. Check out an interview from them on my best friend for life's blog, <a href="http://www.westcoastfix.com/">West Coast Fix</a>, and listen to them and love them as much as me.<br />

It's time to exit through the emergency exit because these pictures are on fire! Back when I posted my look <a href="http://jodujour.blogspot.com/2012/02/piloto.html">Piloto</a> I was also busy with my very first editorial-like photo shoot. The pictures were shot at the same Pima Space and Air Museum in Tucson, and were styled between the model, my other photographer friend <a href="http://www.joieestrellaphotography.com/">Joie Estrella</a>, and myself. The gorgeous model was <a href="http://www.arizonamodelmanagement.com/models/book.php?mid=44">Zuhaila</a> with Arizona Model Management. Big thank you to Joie for setting this up!! It was a fun, exhausting, collaborative day. </div>

Acquiring a nice camera has been really transformative for me as an artist. I do not miss those point-and-shoot days at all. Since, I've delved into shooting stuff like this, fine art, and events. Both of my 30 day trails of Photoshop have expired, so I was only able to do simple adjustments on iPhoto. Oh well, I'm a broke undergraduate with big dreams OK? But, how's this for popping my <i>fashion</i> photography cherry? I mean these looks aren't straight from the runways of Milan, but we do what we can here in good ol' Tucson. Luckily, vintage shopping is never disappointing here. Plus, I finally began shooting a subject that isn't myself. God I'm selfish ;P</div>

I look like Jesus on vacation in a trench coat... This look's kind of old. I've been hiding it in the depths of one of the dozens of albums in my iPhoto. I'm pretty sure since this look I've cut my hair, summer started, and I traveled some. Nonetheless, I remember this day being beautiful. Arizona, the desert, Tucson, are nasty scorching ovens over the summer but are famous for the lovely springs and falls. These transitions are the best and only times I wouldn't like to leave (summer monsoons excluded). Hence, at the peak of this moment I was able to wear a trench coat, pants, Hawaiian shirt, and gladiators. What an odd combination. But, I make it work.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here's the thing with Photobooth for mac. I think it is the most entertaining app that comes with an apple computer. We use it for all sorts of stuff. I went back through about 850 pictures and found some quick shots I took that show what I was wearing. Let me show you the kinds of situations were Photobooth came in handy:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Pima Space and Air Museum is probably one of the neatness places around Tucson. I was able to go shooting here last Thursday with a friend because all our classes were canceled (YAY). So we got a model, our DSLRs, and sunglasses and went on a shoot. We spent most of the day taking pictures of our model, but I will make an entire post soon dedicated to just those pictures. I took these while we were on a break with my tripod. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This look has a bunch of items that are thrifted, vintage, but some new as well. I got the Givenchy shirt in Las Vegas and the jacket in Tempe, AZ both at a Buffalo Exchange. The boots are from Goodwill, pants from Topman, and sunglasses from Aldo. This entire look was basically a steal. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I loved shooting here because there was such a gigantic variety. I believe they have around 300 airplanes so finding a place to shoot was easy. This was especially perfect because I also had to do a project for my photo classes so overall it was mega-productivo. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And on a last note, I have to admit that the reason I was inspired so much by this place is because I've grown up around aviation my whole life. My mother is a pilot, so growing up I've seen her been a gate agent, flight attendant, and now a pilot for several years. Being around airplanes always gives me mega-nostolgia. So it's always a treat to come here. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm dangerous with a DSLR.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ever since I got my new Canon Rebel T1i I cannot stop. Sure, I've been taking pictures daily since I can remember, but now I've been really into photography. I will begin shooting others, not just myself (#bloggerproblem), soon. I have some great material to shoot, I am very excited.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here I am wearing layers upon layers of cotton. My cardigan was bought from Buffalo Exchange, my sweater from American Apparel, tank underneath from Urban, Pants from Urban, and shoes from Goodwill. I think this look can confirm for the rest of the world that sweaters were invented to be layered. Sweaters on sweaters, yeah!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">How do you like that grandma shirt? It is officially left button certified, denim, and pink. R-i-s-k-y. One day I'm going to be wearing this shirt again at a restaurant and run into some 73 year old lady with a same or similar blouse. Seems pretty possible, especially in the fashion-meca of Tucson, lolz. This is what happens when you are as obsessed with thrift shopping as much as I am. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But in the bigger picture, I enjoyed this outfit because I felt like I was dressing down something very eccentric for my wardbrobe. Through basic staples (gray cardigan + denim vest + black pants + black converse) the shirt became neutralized, not exploding in your face when I walk by. Plus, I was able to wear this all day and night, a versatile look. Pretty logical thinking, eh? I guess I try.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's to my first Spring 2012 post on Jo du Jour! So I'm lacking in photos, updates, and all but I'm still swaggin' it with my clothing errday, errday! Lolllll</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But in seriousness, life's good. Busy as normal, just with new things. Updates that might be important to note since last December are:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Now a proud owner of a DSLR</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Finalizing my study abroad plans for the Fall (Going to São Paulo or Lisbon)</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Got a fashion show lined up in March</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Went to SF in January and fell in love</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Going to Berlin/ Uppsala/ Stockholm in March</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yay, plans. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now, as for my clothes, this look is all thrifted, very casual, and mega comfortable/ perfect for when it begins to get warmer. If all I'm wearing are these blue shorts come May then you know why. Plus, if I continue running a couple times a week my legs will get sexier :p</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of my good friends just started a street style blog for Tucson! It's quite a hit so far, do not hesitate to follow:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

I had no clue what I was going to look like after my no shave phase. Beginning in October and only doing two or three minor trims I feel safe saying I participated in not only No Shave November, but October as well. Just was perfect timing, sí?<br />
<br />
So what's next for me? A book about proper mustache maintenance. Any recommendations? Send them my way.<br />

What is it about the middle of the semester that's just so 'ughhhhhhhhhhhhh' ?<br />
<br />
Trying to bring some fun/ playfulness to my life by mixing spring with fall. Especially with these temperatures, 94º in October? It may as well still be the spring/summer season.<br />
<br />
I picked up both the shirt and hat from Goodwill. Trying the shirt on was kind of weird because it was next to all the grandma blouses but, whatever, it's nice being able to shop the WHOLE store instead of just the mediocre mens section.<br />
<br />
Also, I should give basically all credit to this look to the Brazilian band, Banda UÓ. The band mixes a lot of popular songs and changes the words to Portuguese. The music style is called Electrobrega. Definitely check them out. Both their music and fashion style have been really influential in my life right now and I'm so excited to go study abroad in São Paulo next Fall! Hopefully my life can just straight up look like all their music videos. That'd be great.<br />
<br />
Here's one of Banda UÓ's videos, O Gosto Amargo do Perfume! <br />

Happy Monday // Halloween Week!<br />
<br />
This past weekend was crazy. I was all over the board with my gender, emotions, and activities. My outfit today resulted from the weekend's influences.<br />
<br />
MOCA Tucson, the museum I intern at, opened up a new exhibit with hundreds of flyers and designs by Raymond Pettibon, highlighting his work with the punk band, Black Flag, and Pettibon's influence to punk culture during the 70s and 80s. After a weeks worth of helping with installation, I think the constant exposure to punk culture made me feel like dressing in Doc's and this black Diesel button up. Yeah, so punk right? Not really, hence the post-modern.<br />
<br />

<br />
On the other hand, I also feel like simplifying things lately. God, the semester started off on a great foot, then fell into the garbage disposal. Now I'm trying to make get my act together again. Minimalism and less clutter in my outfit, space, and life will hopefully help me clear my mind a bit. So a button up, jeans, and boots couldn't be a more perfect and simple October outfit.<br />
<br />
Have an amazing week! I know I will because it's Halloween, duh.<br />
<br />
Ps. Doesn't this Raymond Pettibon print look like me?<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Summer mornings always have the best lighting. So right as I am walking out and feeling like dynamite I set up the camera and take some pretty quick shots. I mean, most people do that right? It helps me make sure that I like what I am wearing and later I use it for the blog. Does it make me late sometimes? Sure, but yesterday I had an actual excuse. The wolf dog kept intruding. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3sDlc_gvgfM/TjgUtj9_ArI/AAAAAAAAAQg/pnQq16J3G7E/s1600/IMG_4071+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3sDlc_gvgfM/TjgUtj9_ArI/AAAAAAAAAQg/pnQq16J3G7E/s640/IMG_4071+copy.jpg" width="380" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But seriously. You can't be mad at a puppy. He's my current roommate's wolf-hybrid named Oberon. How fitting. His name stands for King of the Fairies. However, to me he's Obi-won. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I guess the lesson here is time my mornings out better and don't let the wolf leave the pack.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The summer's ending very soon. People are counting down the days to when they are going to be back in Tucson already. I can't believe how fast it all went. It definitely had it's ups and downs. This past week has been a pretty slow posting week for me because it's been so full of stress. I've unfortunately been having issues left and right and have had to make some really hard choices, but hopefully with this season coming to an end, my stress level will too. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I took this look back when I was in Philly. I woke up that day at such a speedy rate that my mind just defaulted to wearing a nearly all black ensemble. Nothing wrong with that... Except for maybe that it was freaking hot! But it's nothing that a Starbuck's BTL can cure. After looking like a candy store this past season, I think my wardrobes ready to settle down a bit into the crisp and dreary colors of fall and winter. But first we have back to school. Argyle anyone? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, I hope everyone's doing well! More outfits here in the future. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ps. what do you think of my extra-touristy pic with Oldenberg's giant Clothespin? Personally, it's one of my favorite works of pop art. So interesting and obvious. </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So this is how I got to New York. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ever flown stand-by? Well, basically it's a ticket for an airplane where if there is room on the aircraft, you get on. My original plan was to take the red eye flight from Phoenix to Philadelphia but come nightfall (after a long day in class and at work and driving from Tucson to Phoenix), I check the flight one last time and there is only one seat left! So what's the next best option? Well seeing that I currently had some friends in New York, I decided to switch up the listing and just go to New York City. I had nothing to lose, but I was able to gain a morning and afternoon in the city! What a change from the desert to the tall concrete jungle that is New York. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sadly though, after a posh morning walking around SoHo and the lower part of Manhattan I had to board a bus and eventually got to Philadelphia where I am now. Although it's no New York, I'm still having a great time here with my fraternity and getting to meet a bunch of my brothers from all over the country. Plus, Philadelphia has some pretty chic flavors to it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll be back in the city on Sunday night, Monday, and then flying back Tuesday. I'm glad that I'm beginning to figure out the system there though. Just got to hop on the J-train and head to JFK airport and be good to go. I'm already feeling like a local! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

NEW YORK CITY BABY! :D Currently, I'm uploading this from a Starbucks somewhere in Chinatown and just sitting here, waiting to build up the courage to go get a cab haha. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We have back to school in only a matter of weeks and then it's pretty much full blown Fall/ Winter time (in the fashion world, not in Arizona). Regardless, I've been so obsessed with what went down the runways this Spring and Summer, I haven't really put much thought into what I'm going to do this fall. I mean, where is my game plan? What is the one item from these lines that I am going to get? What is the one item from these lines that I will dream about, drool over, but most likely will never get? So many tough fashion questions... I have my homework ahead of me. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But for now, here's the behind the scenes of Prada's Menswear campaign featuring Toby Maguire. Came across it on men.style.com when I decided that now (1:03 a.m. in the morning) would be a good time to take on all these questions. Maybe I'll just let some Paris couture shows lullaby me too sleep. I hope that everyone has an amazing Wednesday. I have an extremely long day ahead of me. Wish me luck!</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My summer's literally just about over. How sad :( Yesterday was my first day of my summer class and honestly, I know I'm not a science guy, but I would have never thought that Astronomy would have been such a tough subject. Our galaxy is freaking complicated. Not to mention that the class itself is about 4 hours and 30 minutes long, 4 days a week! It has a 5 week duration in which each class is about a weeks worth of work, but I already plan on missing 3 days this weekend. Basically all these numbers sum up to me dying, so wish me luck!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I picked this rockin' ensemble as something kind of different for me. I've never worn so many buttons/ two collard shirts. I think it worked really nicely though. It just gave the whole look some depth and a different spin. Plus, I think I gave off a good first impression, except for maybe when I told the class that the sun rises over the Pacific in Panama City... I swear that it does! It's the way it's positioned! Look at a map...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This weekend however will be great! It's finally time to venture off to Philadelphia with my fraternity! So excited to go to, in my opinion, a very underrated city. I had fun the last time I was there, so hopefully it's not all business because I'd really like to play. But, if not, I'm driving up to New York City for a short second to enjoy myself, and I'm so thrilled! Even if it is a short 2 nights and a day there. It's so hard to pick what I want to do. There is so much. I feel like Carrie Bradshaw who would always have this problem. Oh New York ;)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I finally did this project. After seeing so many D.I.Y. tutorials on this awesome idea for a bracelet, today I decided to go to home depot and just buy everything that I needed. This was actually very easy once I got the hang of it. Took me about two times to get it just right. So I cranked up the Animal Collective radio station on my Pandora, sat down and followed this video's instructions: [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrVhj54WP8w">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrVhj54WP8w</a>]. I just love how much that the contrasting colors make this simple bracelet stick out. Plus, now I have a pretty sweet replica of the very expensive and very much in demand Proenza Schouler bracelets. I feel pretty accomplished :D<br />
<br />
I have one more D.I.Y. bracelet idea that I stumbled upon, but boy has that one been really hard. Hopefully I'll get the hang of braiding twine soon! Wish me luck.<br />
<br />
Happy 4th of July everyone!<br />
