spotted — nick tran on stanley st.

baby nicky does it again with his miraculous diy! this time he took his favorite pants and added some bold, masculine polka dots. i particularly like the back, because its not overkill and makes the pants even more interesting. lots of knits to keep warm, and some earth tones to keep it nicky.

carven prefall12

hands down, whilst skimming through all the prefall collections, carven was the chosen one. too many other collections either had a little too much going on (like acne) or not enough going on (like the flop that was jil sander). i like this back to school, nerd fever, super well tailored thing they have going. getting dressed like this isn’t even difficult as long as you have the right pieces. it actually makes life a lot easier. whatever it takes to get me out of the house quicker in the morning, not looking like a mess, works for me!

kura

i have a funny feeling that kura is going to make quite the ripple in the blog music scene in the coming months. the trio is from denmark, and has this spacey but smooth sound. if you like the xx, you will most definitely enjoy kura as well. the music video for anchor, directed by kristian touborg, is super intriguing. take a look and a listen! visit their facebook page for more info/songs.

thomas kim ~ green street

i’ve been reorganizing the blog as of late, sorting through old posts and tags. i haven’t gotten my new camera charger in the mail yet, but i do have a secret stock of street style pictures i keep for hard times like these! speaking of hard times, this is the weekend thomas and i became friends in new york. we were stuck in a hurricane together, and as much as we wanted to kill each other, we still managed to bond over pizza pockets and ratatouille (the movie).

my friend wesley made this video for a school project. i was told to throw on some casual wear, which to me translates as sequined pants. despite the fact that it was cold and i was hungry, i think it turned out quite well. after a good few years of collecting virtual dust, wes is also going to be relaunching doubleyouwhy; im excited! this is a snippet of what we rewarded ourselves with afterwards :

pimp your pants

im on the lookout for some trousers that tickle my fancy! as per usual, ankle skimming is a must in my books. thats my way of casually reminding people ‘im a nerd, but YOU CAN TRUST ME.. sortof’. borrowing these two photos from nam of streetfsn.

marie madeleine – swimming pool

goldzmine — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 01:04:30 +0000

jarco weiss, who is actually a longtime goldzmine reader, sent me the first music video from his brand spanking new band, marie madeleine. the trio describes their sound as disco wave; like if ian curtis and donna summer went on a date in palm springs. weiss is on vocals, greg wagenheim on bass, synth by herr 2003 and pauline grethen (not the gal in the video) is featured singing the hypnotic chorus. marie madeleine just put out their ep and plans (fingers crossed) on touring through europe, asia and north america during the next year or so. i quite like this sound; the epic zeus-like vocals mixed in with the flirty girly “sinking, sinking, dying, diving” is buckets of fun.

new balance : classic 574

goldzmine — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 00:10:23 +0000

with the thought of my gpa constantly looming over my head, i’d say more than ever, i’m dressing for comfort. i had looked into buying nb’s a few times in beijing, but never actually went through with the purchase until now. with the help of my twitter + instagram + facebook amigos, i picked out this colorway of 574 new balances. not only am i loving this new balance video made by dee, im enjoying the revival of classic sneakers in a quirky, preppy way. throw on a quaint tee, some slacks, and a pair of fuzzy socks and you’re all set! ..pascal grob gets me!

old lady

goldzmine — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 05:22:19 +0000

just on the lookout for staples that can get me through the next few months of cold, and hopefully successful hibernation. or maybe, im just looking for another excuse to bring out my inner old lady. brogues/loafers, big gray cardis, and cozy plaid anything is what i have in mind. check out : svpply.com/goldzmine for more of my picks.

propr postur

spencer edwards of propr postur is dapper incarnate. his sense of personal style is admiral in the sense that it is so well developed and consistently good. i could easily see him rolling with the gentleman of street etiquette. spencer and i get along well because he’s one of the few that actually exemplifies that fashion should be fun, and that there’s no reason for snubbing one another!
