Drop it like it's hot! "drop crotch jeans"


Girls, you all witnessed and experienced the harem pant trend. Now this trend has evolved to a lower crotch on women's jeans. Looks comfortable... So give your skinny jeans a break, they've earned it.

"Bra Boys, blood is thicker than water"






















This easter weekend I watched the Bra Boys documentary. Even if you don't like surfing, I guarantee you that it is
impressive.

“Bra Boys” is a film about the cultural evolution of the inner-Sydney beachside suburb of Maroubra and the social struggle of its youth – the tattooed and much maligned surf community known as the Bra Boys. The story is narrated (voice over) by Australian actor Russell Crowe and is told through the eyes of members of the Bra Boys.

Get these for summer! "leather boat shoes"












































Guys, do you want that summer look, but not go for the standard white sneaker?

Buy yourself a pair of leather boat shoes, it's a classic and it still works. I spotted them in a lot of designer and denim collections this season. (pictures top to bottom) Samsoe Samsoe, A.P.C, Band of Outsiders and my personal favourite; N.D.C made by hand. The N.D.C shoes will hurt your bank account with a whopping €200,-. What did you expect? They're made by hand!

Girls like bling "Sabrina Dehoff Jewelry"





Can't forget about the girls.

Laura tipped me about this German jewelry designer Sabrina Dehoff, she works with different materials like rope, leather, gold and silver. She makes the most beautiful jewelry for girls, but with a twist. The pictures above are from her "little helpers" collection.

Forget Victoria Secret! "Agent Provocateur"


This one's for the girls and the guys. If either of you want to surprise the other, this would be the perfect place to go; Agent Provocateur.

Agent Provocateur lingerie is an opulent range of inspirational creations, designed to intensify life’s pleasures and unlock your innermost desires. The elegant ranges, designed with both the boardroom and the boudoir in mind, ensure that women can be as sexy and professional as the mood takes them.

Enjoy.

Do you have a secret? "Post Secret"






This is a book that my girlfriend Laura bought. I think it is really funny and everyone who likes to hear somebody else's secrets will love it. This is how it works;

"You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, bettrayal, desire, confession or childhood humiliation. Reveal
anything- as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative."

So what happened was that a lot of people sent their secret anonymously via a postcard to the author (Frank Warren) and he posted the best ones in this book.
Above you find a little sample.

Birthday gift from mom "Jordan Retro 3, 2007"








They finally arrived, my Jordan Retro 3, 2007 editions (from the USA). Allthough they are from 2007, they are never worn/ new in the box including the Jordan Retro card. Got them as a birthday gift from mom. Yes, my mom buys me limited edition sneakers for my birthday, that's how cool she is.

Got milk? "Seletti coffee milk can"






















How cool is this? A can to hold your coffee milk that is actually shaped like a milk carton. Perfect as a gift, as it costs only €19,-

Get it here

So next season "double breasted blazer"


















































































I know it's not even summer yet, but for all you cats who want to be ahead of the pack at all times. This one's for you. Don't call it a comeback, but the double breasted blazer is cool again. Featured in all top collections (pics top to bottom) Band of Outsiders, Thom Browne and Lanvin.

If you want to avoid looking like a banker or country club member, make sure that your blazer is very slim and short. Dress it down with a pair of jeans or cotton slacks with converse.
For everybody who can't wait till next winter, there are a few double breasted blazers out now for the spring/summer season made of washed cotton or denim, like the one featured in the last picture. That's the one from Acne x Lanvin.

worn jeans "Evisu (10 years old)"






This Evisu jean is approximately 10 years old and was bought in raw condition. At first it belonged to a friend of mine who wore it a lot and more or less only took it off when he went to bed. Finally I persuaded him to sell it to me and now it is in the state as you see in the pictures above. The painted seagulls on the back pocket are almost faded all the way off from wearing. Lesson learned from this; love your jeans and they will love you back.
