EARTHQUAKEY PEOPLE

Steve Aoki featuring Rivers Cuomo // Earthquakey People

I may be one of the few people that feel this way, but in the past few years Steve Aoki's music has not been as great as it once was, but "Earthquakey People" is one catchy tune. A great song to bring in the new year. Thus, Happy New Years! Party as has as you can. New Year's Eve and Day are one of the few days that anyone can get as rowdy as they like without anyone saying anything to you.

ORANGE POP & MORE

Without a doubt, I probably spend most of my hard earn money on clothes and food, but I'm also not shy to quickly shell out a few bucks here and there on beauty products, mainly nail polishes. In just a year, I think my collection has gone from 5 measly bottles to about 25 lovely potions, and I continue to add more.

Last week I stopped by a few CVS stores after learning the pharmacy was having their annual beauty clearance sale. While my main goal was to grab as many tubes of pigmented lipsticks, I ended up leaving with a few bottles of vibrant nail polishes: Revlon's scented collection in pretty in papaya, passion fruit, and orange pop.

The other night while watching Bachelor's Vegetable Store, I decided to give orange pop a try. While my collection of polishes mainly consists of dark, neutral colors, orange pop is probably the brightest nail polish I own. But with the somewhat gloomy weather Houston is currently experiencing, the slightly shimmery color was a great choice. Not only does it lighten up the mood, the subtle orange fragrance also give a great touch. Definitely worth my money.

UNDERCUT

After much contemplation, I decided to get a haircut. Took off about 4 inches of dead hair and thinned it out. I also got an undercut (inspired by French model Aymeline Valade), but the hairdresser did not do it the way I originally asked for it--to have it shaved off. According to the hairdresser, it was too "manly." Instead, she chopped off some of my hair and made it look like like I had a bad hair job and was growing the bottom part of my hair out. So, I ended up asking my friend who had a pair of clippers to shave it all off. Now, I love it!

FOURTH OF JULY

Enjoyed the beautiful New York City weather on my friend's Brooklyn rooftop for Fourth of July. Drank tons of beer, played a few rounds of pong, but most importantly enjoyed some peace and quiet for the first time in a long time. I wouldn't mind moving to this borough if I could have this whenever I want to. Seriously contemplating it.

ART

JUN INOUE TIMELAPSE FILM from Philip A Einwick on Vimeo.

You can't be interested in fashion and not be interested in art. The other day, I stumbled upon Tokyo street artist Jun Inoue by pure coincidence. Some of his work showcases the focus on the negative space surrounding objects, the objects themselves, and resulting delicate dialogue between these elements. Aside from the streets and galleries, Inoue also works with other mediums including clothing and footwear. I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to art, but this has to be one of the best internet discoveries that has happened to me. I really love what he had done to that Japanese gas station. Why can't all gas stations look like that? So super kawaii!
