Joggers that turn into shorts? Count me in, no literally. I jumped on this bandwagon right away. I remember these type of pants from elementary school, I used to have a pair, though they didn't look as nice. Though these became an immediate favorite of mine. Shorts in the day, Joggers at night. As most of you would know, versatility and comfort are my favorites when it comes to style.

Also yes, I'm back to blogging, not only that, I'm also doing fashion vlogs! So check out my channel here!

I feel like this blog of mine has gone dormant for far too long. Not only has it gone dormant, but it's incredibly inconsistent, sadly just like me. My passion for fashion has burned on and off for far too long. Fashion has never been a strong passion of mine, but as a fashion blogger, I do have my duties that I have neglected over the past year. Duties that I owe you to, my readers, if there are any left here. Those of you that have chosen to stay, I cannot express enough how thankful I am to have you guys. Thank you for always supporting my journey, whether it be here in my blog, or on my instagram, or on my facebook. I will try my best not to disappoint you guys yet again. Now on to more pressing matters, what is up with the weather in Socal? Lately it's been Fall, which should mean cold weather, but apparently not in SoCal. We've even gotten some insanely confusing gloomy but warm weather, so in honor of those days, here is a temperature tricker for you socalers here. The lightweight denim and Henley mixes together to provide light weather control, should the temperature pick up, but loose enough if the heat decides to stay. Pair it off with a nice pair of leather chukka boots and you're good to go! Thanks guys for reading!

PacSun SoCal Picks (onebrandoutfit)

 

Denim Jacket                     Long Sleeve Knit                     Pants                          Shoes                       Hat                    Watch   

The beauty of the internet is that you can do so much just from the comfort of your own couch. To me, that means I can try on clothes while never leaving my couch nor my top ramen. Today I bring to you, an outfit I put together...while eating top ramen. The whole outfit itself is from Pacsun, so if that just makes it all easier for you, also the links will be posted below the picture. I styled the look specifically for socal winter kids, an outfit fit for the cold, but still edgy enough to give you that "californian" look. The hat and watch is interchangeable I suppose, up to your tastes! Anyways, enjoy and don't forget to comment!

I am Man, hear me step stylish

When it comes to fashion blogs, I must say, women run that world. But is it so in style/fashion? Many seem to believe that fashion/style is a feminine trend. I believe they are wrong. The desire to look good to impress others can be seen in male birds throughout the world, but we are not birds. So what was the point of that whole spiel? Nothing, I like flashy male birds. Anyways, When it comes to style, you don't necessarily have to dress dandy or feminine in other to look stylish or fashionable. So here is a look I styled to give off a more masculine presence. well...not really, but it's in front of a tablesaw, that's pretty manly right? Well anyways, seeing as how I like to hear myself rant, here is yet ANOTHER styling tip!

Tips to dress more stylish in a masculine manner (plain/clean/basic)
1. Stray away from flowy things (try not to include these things in your outfit: scarfs [soft flowy ones, the blockier ones should be fine], long light cardigans, light colored denim [or any floral denim, or any printed denim for that matter], anything sheer, sheer shirts, sheer pants, skirts, bras)
2. Try to incorporate masculine pieces (Raw denim, leather jackets, solid colors)
3. Carry a barbel (the heavier, the better)

Hope that helped! And let me know how you guys like the new 2k13 layout. Follow my blog for more ridiculous styling tips!

PS. those of you interested in the jacket, It's just a plain raw denim jacket that I layered over a jacket with beige inner lining. I folded the end of the sleeve inside out to give a flash of beige :]

Layering Tips

Photos by: Nick Sutjongdro                         Jacket by: PacSun

Winter is finally here....sort of. Well it's been really cold lately, cold enough for me to wear this awesome jacket. In fact, it's sort of been my go-to jacket for the past month. So I wanted to also address the topic of layering. When it comes to layering, a lot of people just pile on the layers. Which is a terrible way to layer...well not really, you're technically still layering and keeping warm, but when you do, you're just an fashion onion.

Fash·ion on·ion

[fash-yuh n uhn-yuh n] 

noun

1. A fashionisto/ta that has plenty of layers of clothes and zero layers of style. And also stinks.

But when it does come to layering, here are a couple tips to keep in mind.
1. Colors (Have coordinating colors, i.e. complements and other colors that go well together)
2. Details/Patterns (Floral dress shirt with a floral v-neck sweater doesn't make you dandy/dapper, it makes you look like a walking shrubbery, which....may be useful at times. but if you're gonna layer prints, most of the time, you'd wanna keep it to a minimum, with maybe just peeks of it to enhance the outfit)
3. Fit (idk how many times I emphasize this, but the fit/size of things really matter, don't wear an incredibly large cardigan with a tiny slim fitting leather jacket)

That's pretty much it that I can think of, I hope it helps! Now go out there and layer my cold stylers! And...hopefully you won't end up looking like a walking bush.

Family Matters

This isn't exactly the Christmas Eve post that most of you would probably be looking at/for, but it's close enough. You know when you're at those family gatherings and you kinda wish you could just disappear? Well now you can! This outfit is specially designed to be stylish for when da ladies are around (no, not at your family gatherings you sicko) and undercover when family members are around. Don't wanna talk to aunt May? Blend into the foliage! Amazing isn't it? Anyways I hope you guys have a holly jolly Christmas or something like that.
