Some days I go with no black, other days, it's all black. Today was one of those days. I'm like a modern goth cowboy. Oh well, it's no problem!
But the semester is now over. Fall 2011 was great, but academic wise, I was so sick of it. I'm ready to just get to sit in front of my t.v. for hours and play playstation and not have to go to some of my dumb redundant courses. I'm actually looking at my bed right now, and it's calling my name.
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:

One thing to point out about this outfit is NO BLACK. Actually, there really isn't any presence of dark or fall looking colors in this look. It's fun to play around with fall clothing that's not just your average leather jacket.
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?
So what's next for me? A book about proper mustache maintenance. Any recommendations? Send them my way.
What is it about the middle of the semester that's just so 'ughhhhhhhhhhhhh' ?
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.
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.
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.
Here's one of Banda UÓ's videos, O Gosto Amargo do Perfume!
Romantic, trendy, but always lovely, Prada delivers yet again. The last model, at around 0:46, Kelly Mittendorf is an Arizonie! Landing Prada's a huge deal, congrats to her. Hopefully we can see more fashionable people come out of Arizona because frankly, Arizona's NOT a place for fashion. My plan since high school has been to defy that.
Late last night when my roommate and I began talking about fashion and I came to the realization that fall 2011 lines are really close or if not already on the market. 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.
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!
