WatchLove Fox Vintage
I recently stumbled upon another video that does a splendid job of encapsulating the thrift/vintage experience. It’s a three and a half minute piece profiling Faith Mickler and Benicia Smith, a duo who run a vintage store based in Ventura, California called Love Fox Vintage. I love the color tone of the video. Just watching it makes me sort of want to go thrift shopping.

WatchTHE IDEA BEHIND THRIFTING
Perhaps it’s partially because I’m in college, but thrift shopping seems to have really become in vogue over the past year or so. Almost a month ago, The Madbury Club did a brilliant feature about thrift shopping when they profiled Canadian art collective The Art of Reuse, who are setting up temporary thrift boutiques all over Canada and the United States...

New LOOKBOOK.nu Look: Holiday-themed
Ladies and gents, I recently posted a new look to my LOOKBOOK.nu. It’s my second look in as many months! (I promise the time-span between this and my next look will be significantly smaller.) My newest look is part of the holiday-themed lookbook I released yesterday, which got much positive review. Go show some love. All you have to do is click the photo below, and you’ll be directed...

TheCreativeRoutine - 2010 Holiday Lookbook
The idea to shoot a holiday “lookbook” of sorts unsuspectingly hit me a few days ago, as I was going about my business, full of holiday cheer. Unfortunately, I found that ugly Christmas sweaters were in short supply upon close inspection of my closet, so I settled for the next best thing: a Christmas-themed blazer-cardigan-knickerbockers combo, complete with pipe and snowy, scenic...

OOAA:W/J+L+C - The Gang
If I could tell you how much fun was had during the making of Out on an Adventure: With Josh + Laura + Cal, it’s likely you wouldn’t believe me. But trust me on this one: fun was in no short supply on this fine day. All week long I’ve shown individual style profiles of Josh, Laura, and Cal, so it’s about time I dropped some photos of The Gang, all styling behind the...

OOAA:W/J+L+C - Cal Umlauf (Style Profile)
Origin: Wausau, Wisconsin
Unfortunately Cal was not available for questioning, due to the fact that he has recently went M.I.A. Though his current whereabouts are unknown, word has it that he is currently in Wisconsin, moose hunting. Sounds like typical Cal to me.
So in lieu of a traditional Q&A style profile of Mr. Umlauf, I’ll instead be going off of what I know of...

OOAA:W/J+L+C - Laura Brokaw (Style Profile)
Origin: Los Angeles, California
Q: Describe your personal style?
I like bright things. And things that don’t match or normal people wouldn’t necessarily enjoy.
Q: Awesome. Would you go on record saying you love shoes more than Josh?
Yes, I would. For sure.
Q: Haha yes! So I’m guessing your favorite clothing article is shoes.
That, jeans, and sweatshirts.
Q: Are...
I'm totally in love with TheCreativeRoutine.
The love is much appreciated.

OOAA:W/J+L+C - Josh Grubb (Style Profile)
Origin: Knoxville, Tennessee
Q: How would you describe your personal style?
I don’t think my style can really be summed up simply like “punk”, “hipster”, “preppy”, etc. I like too many of those styles in their own ways. It really depends on my mood each day. Sometimes I catch myself wearing skinny jeans with a nice sweater and Chuck Taylors. I feel too...

Out on an Adventure: With Josh + Laura + Cal...
As many of you are well aware, this week was supposed to be OOAA:W/J+L+C week: the week that I dropped photo spread after photo spread of my glorious adventures with Josh, Laura, and Cal, culminating with the release of the 14 minute short film on Friday. Tumblr, however, had other ideas. So due to the great Tumblr Blackout of December 5th and 6th, 2010, I’ve decided to postpone OOAA:W/J+L+C...
