isaora: staydrybetter.

i can't resist a solid, waterproof jacket. they get me everytime.

i love windbreaks, exo-shells, and most anything with gore-tex in it. wearing it may be a another story, but i'm still about it. i have plenty of windbreakers and shells i never wear, but they remind me of the days my buddies and i were into cycling which naturally reminds me of good times. 

isaora offers it's latest weather proof jackets for this up coming 2014 f/w season. there's gonna be rain and possibly snow, depending on where you are, so you better get an outer layer worthy of handling it.

i want to throw one of these jackets on and head out into some weather. i'll be the first to tell you that i hate weather and i hate the cold. that's why i live in southern california, where we have one season year round and anything around 65 is considered cold, but looking at these images makes me want to take on some rain.

the jackets are clean and minimal. no extras or unnecessary crap slapped onto them, just a simple looking jacket that protects you from the wet weather. all you need. 

check out the full collection at isaora's website here.

publish fall 2014 lookbook "to coexist".

you may know publish for their joggers and that's really all you need to know. they make some other stuff, but their joggers are really the only reason they're relevant – thanks urban.

i really like their "to coexist" lookbook though. i like how it's more artsy and dark. i mean, kind of defeats the purpose of a lookbook because it's hard to see the clothing, but whatever. 

check it out, i've dropped some images below so you can get a feel for what they're got coming.

chapter s/s 2015 'labyrinth'.

the spring/summer 2015 collection from chapter was dropped a little bit ago and they gifted us some rad visuals to go with it. i grabbed some words from them about this collection that talks about the clothing and the visuals:

"Chapter’s Spring/Summer 2015 Labyrinth collection incorporates architectural design inspired by a feeling of constriction that evolves into functionality: straps, rope suspenders, zippers and adjustable inseams. Line drawings of mazes are reworked into embroidery and large-scale patch application. To keep the onlooker fixated, the removal of natural seam lines, distortion of shapes and angular paneling result in new takes on classic silhouettes.

To bring the interpretation of Labyrinth to life visually, large, geometrical metal frame structures were immersed into a vast backdrop of desolation. The design then further evolved through the placement of these unnatural shapes and the pathways created, engaging the maze of thought and a level of disorientation and awe designed to live on in the mind."

unfortunately, we have to wait to get our hands on any of this, but from what we see it's worth the wait. keep posted for more form this company and don't forget to watch the video below.

the hundreds x tapatio collection.

this is probably one of my favorite collabs to date. who doesn't love tapatio?

i especially love this this collab because i've been obsessed with tapatio and cholula lately. it's been put on top of everything, even on top of some questionable foods. sometimes you just have to try it to see if it works or not, whatever, sorry i'm not sorry. 

anyways, this collab features the og tapatio mariachi on the bottle accompanied by ben and bobby hundreds. this extra detail just makes me laugh and actually shows that this is a real collab between the companies. i like the random/funny collabs because they're so much better than the typical ones and they just make you laugh.

in order to get a limited edition hundreds x tapatio bottle you gotta buy the shirt. when you buy the shirt you get the bottle as a gift with it. i personally just want the bottle because it's so funny, but i guess i'll buy a shirt if i have to.

the shirt and bottles are available may 5th, cinco de mayo, and are only sold at their brick and mortar locations. sorry ladies and gents, you've gotta be near one of their stores to snag this collection. for those of you that can make it to one of the stores should go early. i don't see this hangin' on the shelves too long.

danner s/s 2014 'stumptown' lookbook.

danner drops their s/s 2014 lookbook titled stumptown. it's got nice little mix between street wear and outdoor wear which gives it a unique look and feel. there are more outdoor photos, but you can't really see any of the clothing or footwear. they're what you call 'lifestyle' shots. basically, no use for us in this post which surprisingly danner does a lot in this lookbook considering they only make footwear.

i like the look of danner's new mt. tabor oxford shoe (they're camel colored shoes pictured below). they look comfortable and dope as hell. plus, they aren't heavy boots that no one probably wants to lug around this summer. unless you're hiking across europe or something like that, then you probably want some boots.

check out the lookbook and if you see anything you like you can swoop it over on danner's website here.

5 button ups from h&m .

i was browsing through h&m's site last night and clicked through to their button ups. i found a few worth sharing with you guys so here you go.

these finds are perfect for day or night. i've got two short sleeve button ups you can rock during the day when its warm out and then i've got three to choose from for going out at night.

the three long sleeves i'm showing you guys are all collarless. i'm sur eyou;ve noticed by now i'm pretty into collarless. I like that it's something different and most people don't rock it. yes, i like to be different. not to show off how fashionable i can be or to look cool, but just for sake of changing things up. routine gets old – fast.

check out these shirts and snag a few before they're gone. all of them are from h&m so you're not going to break the bank picking any of these up. links to the buy are under each image.

beautiful fül s/s 2014.

the lookbook for the spring/summer 2014 collection is straight fire.

i dig everything about the line and lookbook. the photographer, the models, the clothes, and the feel is so good. it's a line that i think many people can get behind. there's a little bit of something for everyone. 

check out beautiful fül here and make sure you look at the rest of photos from the look book. yes, i posted a lot of the photos from it, but there are more. wait, you want even more? okay – no problem. i posted a video below for the s/s 2014 line as well. enjoy.

h&m s/s 2014 swimwear.

there's no need to spend a lot of money on a pair of swim trunks. 

you just don't need to - ever.

it's not necessary and never should be. i don't care what 'technology' they've built into the design or whatever, it all gets wet and it covers your goods. that's truly all we need gentlemen. 

h&m has you covered this summer season. it's stylish and most importantly affordable, basically what h&m does best. 

check out some of their trunks in the post, but jump on over to their website to see all the men's swimwear here.
