I don't know anything about Aussie designer Kym Ellery's brand Ellery, but this girl is beautiful.

Go buy Ellery, and Australia is FTW!

New camera+new shoes

Got a new camera.

No it's not an SLR, or even the little mini SLR I wanted (the Canon S95) but it's cool.

Because of budget I had to settle on a Canon SD1400, but it's black, it takes high-res photos, and it's smaller than my BlackBerry--which is just crazy.

Anyway, I took this pic of my new burnished kicks with my new camera.

This blog is about get waaaayyyy better.

Theophilus London=sooooo coooool

Overall cool dressed cat Theophilus London, has this new jam called "Flying Overseas."

It's chill, sexy, and damn nice to listen to.

Crazzzy shoe game

Went to a party this weekend and my friend Mike's girlfriend, Carolyn, was wearing these wild n' out Italian boots.

What a cool/funky contrast they had going on as Mike was rocking the Air Griffey Max 1's, and Carolyn was sporting her boots. Should have took a pic of them together, but anyway here's the boots.

Perfect example of somebody having a style all their own.

If you read this blog, then you know that I believe in style over fashion.

Style is personal expression. It's wearing stuff you feel represents you, making things your own, and not just because you think they're "trendy."

Fashion is just stuff you wear, because you think it'll give you status, or make you cool.

I'm really into retro sneakers--specifically NIkes and Jordans--which I know A LOT of people are.

However, I don't wear them because I think they're cool or whatever. I mean yes, they are, but personally they represent my passion for sports and athletics.

Wearing sneakers is sort of my way of conveying to the world that sports make up a big part of my personality.

Anyway, next month perhaps my all-time favorite sneaker is re-releasing--the Air Jordan III.

I own the black/cement pair of these, which I posted about some time ago, but the white ones are pretty dope too.

Even cooler, it's being packaged in a really cool original style retro box.

Here's MJ in 1988--the original release year--winning the Slam Dunk contest, followed by the new version and the cool packaging.

Tom Brady, the best in the business

Last night Tom Brady, and those goddamn New England Patriots, literally, obliterated the New York Jets.

The Jets were supposed to be one of the best teams in the league--and very well still may be--but they weren't even in the game last night. 45-3 is a bloodletting.

You could point to a lot of things that led to such a dramatic outcome, but the biggest difference in the game was a certain number 12.

Perfect fundamentals, a great football mind, and the best combination of arm strength and accuracy in the league, Tom Brady is the best QB of our generation.

Peyton Manning may have more awards and stats, but Brady is unparalleled as a leader and a competitor.

Brady continues to challenge his teammates, both in their preparation and during the games. His leadership is the driving force in what may be a Super Bowl season for NE.

So this picture is relevant for two reasons: 1. It perfectly illustrates how good Brady is fundamentally. The release point, the torque, just all perfect. It shows the amount of work that he puts into the game. 2. The Pats throwbacks are so much better looking that their new unis. Not even close.

Not that it really matters, but I'd like to think that it's no coincidence the best player on the Pats--and probably in the league--is also the best dressed. Brady, literally standing out, amongst his team as they're all dressed in warm ups, and he rocks a great grey suit. He also hits the details: pocket square, tie bar, check shirt, and burnished brown shoes. That's how you look like an MVP.

It's in the details

You know what accentuates your outfit?

Details.

Specifically, the little ones.

Check out these photos below. Neither of these outfits are extraordinary without the little things making them so.

This guy's red belt--perfectly contrasted with his green shirt--really makes his whole look pop. It's nothing fancy, just something extra.

Again nothing spectacular about this young man's look either. Very simplistic, a few classic pieces, but goddamn them boots! Burnished cap toe boots, are you kidding? Amazing!
