Pictures for the Week!

 This picture I found on my friends Tumbler and I really wanted to share it. I love the glasses and well, I love every other part of this picture too. If you want to see more from her blog it's http://gennab98.tumblr.com/. It's awesome check it out!

I found this garbage can a little ways off campus. I was on the bus, on my was to the store. I couldn't help get off the bus and get a picture to show it to you. I like the build up of graffiti on the orange background.

This is my friend Rob, I caught him today as he was walking in the door.  He is wearing a plaid button up shirt with a dark green pull over sweater. This look is both sharp and laid back.
Looking good!

Hand it Down!


    Family hand-me-downs can be seen as old junk that your brother or sister doesn’t want anymore. Sometimes, though, you luck out and receive something you can work with or something of great value. Some great hand-me-downs I have seen around campus include; rings, a necklace, a jacket, and a pair of moccasins style shoes. Matthew John, a science student in university, has his own hand-me-down and a story to go with it. “It’s my pride and joy” John said, referring to what once was his grandfather’s hat. The Lions hat was given to John for his sixth birthday. He says it was the best gift ever and it means so much to him that it was from his grandfather. The hat was a little too big then, but he eventually grew into it, then right back out. “Even though the hat is a little small I still wear it because it means a lot to me.” John takes good care of  it and tries to keep it as clean as possible, in order to preserve it for years to come.  

    As far as the rest of John’s style, he says he likes to look good but keep it simple. “If I like it and look good I buy it, it’s that simple. I don’t need to have the latest fashion to look good.” He tries not to fall for all the name brands, cheap is not always worse. Left, he is sporting khaki shorts, a no name cheap v-neck shirt and his Lions hat.

Backpacks

This week I have noticed a number of people with JanSport SUPERBREAK backpacks. The backpacks come in many different bright colours and styles. They have two compartments and are very light weight. Check out these retro packs at: www.jansport.com

Take a look at some retro themed advertisements from JanSport for 2011 and 2009.
In the 2009 video, the bus says it all. Also the colours and imagry also scream 80's. In the 2011 video, if you don't notice the style and fashion then go back and watch it again. Everything is "new age" vintage, pay close attention to the glasses and sun glasses.
