Free Hyde from Isis
You may remember my entry about MacBook soft folding cases last month, in which I posted a video review of my new Isis Roach cover. Shortly afterward I got an email from Taylor Shupe of Isis, saying, I came across your video critique today and was super stoked that you took the time to do [...]
Kanye West Sunglasses
There’s those shades again, with a transitional half-shuttered version, this time spotted on a table at the Eastern Market flea market on Capitol Hill. Amee tells me they’re a Kanye West thing, from his “Stronger” video. Yesterday at Gallery Place we saw a girl wearing these shutter shades and a shirt with a picture of [...]
MacBook Soft Folding Cases
The market for MacBook cases seems a lot more focused on sleeves which require you to slide out your MacBook to use it. (Theory: Bigger market for people who want to show off their MacBooks but keep them protected when not in use?) I had a tougher time finding decent folding cases which wrap around [...]

No Concealed Weapons
History of the Barong Tagalog, the Filipino national costume. It’s what I’m wearing in this photo.
BADUY!
I was in a rush this morning, so I sort of threw on my clothes without thinking: blue jeans, dark green t-shirt, white socks, navy blue jacket, and (ba-da-bum!) light brown walking sneakers. I feel so incredibly dorky right now.
Green Khaki Black Brown
Last Thursday, I wore a green polo shirt, khaki slacks, black socks, and brown shoes. To anyone who saw me in that combination, I apologize for my unsightly fashion decisions that day.
Faxion Faux Pas?
1. Shirt tucked into pants without belt. 2. White roundneck undershirt visible behind collar of button-down polo. 3. Slacks and rubber shoes sneakers. I was raised with the idea that the above combinations were non-negotiable fashion no-no’s, and I’ve avoided these modes of dress since high school. Since my arrival in the US, however, I’ve [...]
