Aloha Sunday Logo Tee: Things I Want

While in Palm Springs this weekend I met someone behind San Diego menswear store Aloha Sunday. When he told me they carried Olasul (my new favorite swim trunks) I definitely wanted to learn more.


Carrying brands like Warriors of Radness and Apolis, as well as their own private label, there is a great surf meets menswear vibe. I especially liked their hand printed logo tees and want to rock it poolside this summer... aloha!

Check out the rest of their wares here... good stuff from great guys. 

Osklen Shoes: Things I Want

Ever since my first trip to Brazil, I've been a fan of Osklen. They have a really casual surfer vibe (not surprisingly, as the brand was formed in Rio) and to me their stores always smell like the ocean.

They also have some really unique techniques in making their wares... I'm a big fan of their fish skin shoes, something that you won't see anywhere else and they are using local Brazilian products (I have a rockin' pair of high tops).

Well I'm in Sao Paulo again right now and yesterday I spent a good amount of time trying on things at Osklen. Found some great t-shirts, a pair of really nice linen shorts, and a PVC tote bag that is perfect for the beach. But of course the one thing I wanted the most, I could not have. These shoes below...

I loved the mid-high top, the elastic on the side to just pull them on, and the worn canvas feel to them. But the bunched up fabric on the top (Osklen calls it "wrinkled") is what I found to be the coolest design feature. I tried on a size 44 but they were, as expected, too big.

The quest continues (maybe I'll get to another Osklen store before I leave Brazil). But you can check them out here on the website: http://store.osklen.com/loja/produto-27866-47-bota-iate-wrinkle-lona-stone.aspx

Bom dia!

Things I Have: Warriors of Radness T-Shirt

I've thought Warriors of Radness has rocked ever since they launched the line... bright blocks of color, very sun + surf oriented, and simple designs.

This week on Gilt I picked up a t-shirt and some new swim trunks (I'll share more about those later). The items are both in the mail, but I thought I'd share a photo from the Gilt site of the t-shirt. I love it! Perfect for summer (even though I don't surf).

Check out the rest of the WOR sale at: http://www.giltman.com/sale/splash/love/21901507. Rock on!

Things I Want: Saturday Surf NYC T-shirt

Ready for some wardrobe additions for summer? I am! And today I saw a fun t-shirt collection from Saturdays Surf NYC.

I think the worn and heathered look on the gray shirt is fantastic, and the simple lettering gets across the branding in a fun way.

This style comes in three colors (gray, red, and black) and there are other styles to choose from in the collection. Check them all out here (courtesty of Inven.tory): http://www.inventorynyc.com/saturdays-surf-nyc/141-surf-nyc-tee-grey.html.
