man of style: TYLER ELICK

Allow me to introduce one of the coolest people I know: Tyler Elick.

This handsome friend of mine is a world traveler, hotel developer, amazing artist, + observer of all things spectacular. We've been friends for quite some time now + in March, Megan and I will be joining up with him in FRANCE!

You absolutely need to check out his blog Action in Relaxation. It follows his travels around the globe with his insane photography skillz. I can't wait to see him in Paris + hopefully we'll have some cool photos to post from the trip. Actually, I know we will. Oui!

Today I need to take like 2 minutes to just breathe.

There's a ton going on in my life right now.

Finishing up our set design for something that starts on Thursday...competing in an Art of War at Catalyst next week, and leaving for France the following week! Needless to say...I may or may not be a horrible blogger for the next few weeks. Gotta love this cold sore on my lip... serves as a fun little reminder that I just need to chill. It will all get done. And everything is going to be amazing.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Art of War Explained.

Art of War Explained from mingo2

I have talented friends. This is a video of my friend Mingo explaining the event we competed in a few months back. Check out this video about the Art of War + if you're an artist too...you should make a team and compete! We're going to be doing another competition in 2 weeks at Catalyst West. So excited. Check this out + tell me what you think!

B O Y Z Style: the roaring 20's

I am in love with the new direction of men's fashion. Clean lines, boots, suspenders, mustache's...boys are looking like boxers from the 1920's and I like. Tattoos just seem to make the look even better by roughing it up a bit.
