For the Girls: heavy brows

RUSSH June/July 2012 (Be Magic)

Sock it to em with statement a brow. The June/July RUSSH magazine features strong eyebrows throughout, and it's an easy trend that will update your look for the winter. It's dark and stormy outside so why not style to suit.

Nike Terminator High

There’s plenty of sneaker heads at City Dance on Queen Street, one got me onto the Nike Terminator, and was he bang on.

Introduced in 1985, the iconic Nike Terminator high-top distinguished itself from the Nike Dunk by its prominent NIKE heel logo and classic two and three-tone colourway. The Terminator also features a lace loop on the heel for wrapping the laces around the shoe; this and the logo were quirks shared by other basketball shoes of the era.

Searching the number on the tongue of the shoe (eg. 336509-114) takes you to the exact style and model. These bangin kicks are part of the Fall 2010 season with two other colourways released. Pictures truly don’t do this sneaker justice.
Team them up with the Roo Trackie Doo Crack sweatpants by Lower in forest green and look killer, (They are sold out on the Thanks website but saw they had a few pairs in store last weekend).

Trust me on this: Camouflage

Acapulco Gold 2012

You’re going to have to trust me on this one. Camouflage is super badass and I’m really hoping some of the major labels are going to pick it up and run with it. A disappointing trip to the army surplus store on my lunch break (where they didn’t have the right colourway) means I don’t have any as of yet, but I’m keeping a look out. Some of the American labels like Acapulco Gold and Herschel bags are starting to jump on the band waggon.

Be super careful not to go full action man. It looks sharp to have just one item, like a t, backpack or even chinos like the ones from AG. Crazy cool!

Best Find EVER

Good news.
For $6 you can get one of the highest qualities, well-made t-shirts I have ever been lucky enough to find. Kmart men’s plain crew neck ts, and I can’t get across how fucking amazing they are. I now have eight t-shirts in various sizes in grey, black, navy and white. Boys wear them as they are, girls roll up/cuff the sleeves. Medium with some chinos or x-large with fitted trousers or jeans. I’ve seen my share of ruined intentions with a gaudy printed t, so keep it plain and keep it gangs.
Good news. Great news.

My good friend Hana who is currently living in Japan sent me through this photo. Outrageous, all my Nike dunks would get cobwebs.
