American Eagle is having a pretty good sale on jeans right now. I got 3 pairs for a hundo which is dope, especially since I needed new jeans pretty badly. I was basically down to one or two pair that I wore regularly.
I ended up buying skinny jeans because I'm young, goddammit. I'm young and hip and I can wear them, I can fuck you I'm not sobbing you're sobbing
I had the self control not to buy this Ark Air and 18 East collaboration jacket that was super dope
Good job me!

But I’m weirdly proud of the 18 East guys for getting written up in the NYT - they opened a small shop here and it’s pretty chill, I’ve met the owner a few times and the three younger guys he employs, and they just make really awesome stuff and are super nice people
Nice to be able to have a personal level of connection with a brand while it’s small too
Mostly just huntin' monsters.

That skirt is SUPER adorable and I love it AND those stockings!
I saw someone wearing a royal blue one similar to it in the washroom today. Much jealousy.

I'm getting new glasses for the first time in seven years. I had quite a bit of time to browse while waiting for my eye exam, and finally found a pair of frames that I really like.
And then realized that they're literally made by Moleskine, the notebook company for self-serious English majors.
And it's like yeah, I know, but you don't have to say it out loud, The Universe.
hey I was gonna make this joke how dare you go back in time 2 hours after stealing it from me

My new glasses apparently have an unasked-for blue light filter on them, and I think I'm kind of pissed about it. The science around blue light is extremely shoddy, and it makes everything feel a little bit O Brother, Where Art Thou.
I like blue, it's a valuable color in my environment.
Hair goals, if ever have the patience to let mine grow below jaw length
(I've realised that braiding is the only way to reliably keep my hair on the professional side of insane, on the bright side once I braid it it just kind of ... stays there for three or four days).

What's good in messenger bags these days?
I've got a solid Timbuk2 that I use for going to and from work, but I'm thinking of picking up a secondary bag to use for... not work stuff. Going to D&D, mostly.
Tom Bihn and Peak Design both make really nice messenger bags. They might be overkill if you don't need something that'll last a lifetime, but Tom Binh does offer a number that are more reasonably priced.

I've got way too many messenger bags. Timbuk2 is a solid, affordable workhorse. The strap is kind of floppy and sucks, though.
I like my Chrome Citizen bag best, though. Looks a little cooler, fits a bit more, and if you get one of the ones with the lightweight aluminum hardware (instead of steel), it's super light for such a heavy duty bag. Much better strap and padding than the Timbuk2.
I've also got a Mission Workshop bag which is definitely the nicest made, but also way more expensive, and I don't really love the roll-top design because it's hard to get shit out of it.
Peak Design's Everyday Messenger is fantastic for camera gear. It works for other stuff, but it's very structured and kind of bulky, so if you're not using the inserts for camera gear or something similar, you lose a lot of the appeal of the really clever design.
I also have a Chrome Kadet, which is a smaller sling bag (big enough for a tablet and a few books, or a small point-and-shoot camera and highly recommend it if you don't need to carry much.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

Here’s a short profile with the founder https://www.esquire.com/style/mens-fashion/a30899090/five-fits-with-antonio-ciongoli-18-east-designer/
And he’s wearing that jacket I did not buy
You're gonna just have to take my word for it.
But I do.
Juggs, buddy, we just assume this about you on the regular.
Zey have arrived
pls ignore my sockies as they were the workout sockies I happened to wearing when I got home to the package on my doorstep

To my perennial regret I do not have hair of a type that requires hair ties.
I looked in the bathrooms and the junk bin in case someone visiting had left one, but alas.
A rubber band just isn't the same.

It's goofy and over the top
But like, these fine china pastoral prints being done on denim jackets?
Something about it hits the right levels of dissonance for me
i like the LD big normcore dad vibes
i have a friend who is very much like this with his fits
turns out it's from the Jean Patou/Lacroix s/s '87 show whatever I want it
also shun the unbelievers who claim that black sheer stockings EVER went out of style

It's a hill I'll die on.
Also went to a party last weekend:

I'll have you know I recently switched over to the only notebook brand more hipstery and insufferable: Field Notes.
That's a rockin outfit, and I do really like the look of black sheer stockings.
Though I'll prefer black matte stockings because they more effectively hide when I haven't felt like doing anything with leg hair

I am now terrified for the safety of my sunglasses.
