Time is consistent and unforgiving. 

Time is something that you can never exchange or trade for something else. 

People always tell you to slow down for a minute.  I don’t think that is possible.  You have to keep up.  You have to continue walking forward.  You have to take in as much as you can as you go, because slowing down is not possible.

There is only so much time.  Time to lay a brick today and continue building tomorrow. No matter how perfect you set the brick or what it entails, enjoy it.  Bricks will maintain your foundation and form a house.  

Graduation is a brick.  Moving is a brick.  Sacrifice is a brick.  Pursuit is a brick.  

Time will not slow down for you.  Instead, you have to enjoy every second of that passing time.  You might think most days lead to dull and boring bricks.  Do not let that be the case.  Do not give in to excuse, or reasons why you can’t, and do it.  

Living is a brick.  

The small details in life are as exciting as anything you will come across.  And when you think that your day has not lead you anywhere, remember and appreciate those details.  Wind blown leaves.  Rumbling lawn mowers.  Colors.  Blues skies.  Other inhabitants.  Architecture.

Create a visual diary in your mind.  That diary is more important than any Tumblr feed, blog or journal.  Keep your mind running.  Then, you will continue to run.  You will run for days, weeks, months, until you get to where you want to go.  If you find yourself in a position where you want to run another direction, then turn.  But know that it will take time to gain momentum in that direction.  

So run, and don’t let others get in the way your house or trail.

Keep building.  

Keep running.

Anonymous sent: What is your take on an off white vans authentic? Does it look cheap?

van

Always a solid choice.  

Great to run to the store in, kick the shit out of, walk with a friend, take to the beach.

Take some pictures for your blog, play the guitar, ride a bike, wear to the bar.

I don’t know how they would look cheap.  Unless you wearing them with your Versace suit.  That might not look right.

Or would it? 

Vans are timeless.  If you’re young and always running around, I would grab a pair.  And when they have holes in them, keep running around in them.

“My official shoe of summer—and not just this summer, but every summer. These have some added pop with leather rawhide laces. You can wear these with anything, but slim chinos and a gray tee are a great place to start.”

Anonymous sent: do you own any luxury brand item? whether it be a backpack, wallet, shoes, pants, etc. If not, what would you love to own?

I don’t think I own any “luxury brand items”.

If I had to choose,

A coat from Balmain, maybe even a Burberry trench.

balm

bur

If it were pants, 

rick

bal1

Rick Owens or Balmain.

Shoes?

bill

mc

Billy Reid or McNairy.

So much out there.  Are those even luxury brands?  I don’t know, but it’s cool stuff.

As a matter of fact, I’ll let you pick.

And then I’ll send you my address.

Win.  

Enjoy your weekend.

Now tell me, what would you go with?

Anonymous sent: what do you recommend wearing to prom besides a tuxedo? something different would be nice. any suggestions.? thanks!

Separate yourself from the pack at prom.  

There is nothing wrong with a tuxedo, but everyone is most likely going to have one on.

Depending on what your date is wearing, I would go with a slim fitting suit.  Possibly some floral.

Minimal.  

Pay attention to fit.

Don’t over-do the outfit.  

After all, you’re going to need to be comfortable so you can take full advantage of the dance floor.  But you will take a lot of pictures, so look your best.

Anthony and Dustin just attended a wedding where they displayed some looks that would be appropriate.  They also provided some links for items close to what they’re wearing.  

Some places to consider purchasing a suit: H&M, Express, Lands’ End

That way, you can wear your suit past prom time.  

Some ties: BR, J. Crew, Lands’ End

So go to prom, laugh a lot, request your favorite song, loosen that tie, just have fun.

But look good doing all of that.

Hope this helps!

nomorelard sent: Just discovered your Tumblr (and Instagram, etc.). I hope the fact that your school days are ending doesn't mean this blog is ending!

No, it does not.  

As a matter of fact, we’ve only just begun.  

That got weird fast.

Sorry about that.

Oh
