Hair: What to ‘Do???

Dear My Hair,

Why do you bore me so? The haircut I have now is one I’ve had on and off since I was 16 years old. It’s totally fine. My friends and I like to call it the “Funboy” haircut. It’s the type of haircut you have when you have, like, no imagination. Thus, I’ve been pondering the following five haircuts, wondering which I could pull off.

This one is awesome. If I had this haircut everyone would be scared of me and how cool I was. Which is pretty much my goal in life.

I like this haircut, but it kind of depends on what direction the wind is going. If the wind blows the wrong way I’m sure it looks ugly. Like my current haircut.

I like this ‘do. I’ve tried it a few times but it does weird things in the wind (i.e. when it blows back it looks like your toupee is coming off your head).

Another bowl cut. Super feminine but SO fashiony!

I think this could be the winner of the group. It’s definite FashionHair, but it’s classic enough not to look like they’re trying too hard.

In conclusion, don’t be surprised if you see me in the street with a bowl cut.

Love,
Orlando

Fashiontimez: Olasul

Dear Olasul,

I was browsing your site recently, and I couldn’t help but be blown away by your beautiful lookbook. The bright colors, the tropical landscapes, the skinny surfer dudes. Such glamour. If I could live in any world, it would be this one, where the weather is always inviting, the water is always warm, everyone knows how to skateboard/surf, and there are always tons of amazing swimwear options. YAY!

I want this sweatshirt.

What gorgeous color! And yes, I’m talking about his tan (jealz).

I like this guy’s bangs. Isn’t it weird how he looks super cool on the left and like a huge dork on the right? Let this be proof that even in a post-Bieber world, swoop bangs are still relevant and they make you look cool (I miss mine!).

I die for this bubblegum pink.

It annoys me that A) I don’t know how to skateboard and B) I don’t own this neon ensemble.

This shot is totally cheesy but doesn’t it make you want to have an eating disorder whilst standing in a gorgeous monochromatic seascape?

I don’t know what exactly he’s gathering water for, but I love the golden ochre color of that stream.

In conclusion, Olasul, I kind of hate you for making all this fun clothing because now I want it all. I guess it’s probably a good thing it’s so expensive.

Love,
Orlando

Bolando!

Dear Diary,

Being that I grew up in a national park and went to high school in a horsetown, I’ve seen a whole lot of bolo ties in my life. I know most people think they’re kind of gross, but I’ve always loved them. I got my first bolo tie at the Yosemite Village Store (a gift shop for tourists) when I was 7 and I’ve been into them ever since. I’ve been finding cute bolos at flea markets and thrift stores while shopping with Emily, so it’s come to my attention that I need to start wearing them again. Below are a few that I like (and one that I hate). I apologize that I don’t have sources for these, but just use them as inspiration to go out in the world and find the bolo that’s right for you!

I think the National Park Service arrowhead logo is so classic and lovely, so putting it on a bolo tie is totally glamourous.

I want to be friends with this chick so she can be mean to me and tell me I’m not cool enough to hang out with her.

This bolo is too clever and cute to resist. I never met a bow I didn’t like.

These are revolting and I hate them, but I thought they were an important part of the bolo discourse.

Not sure I love this one but included it because the picture looked kinda like Emily.

This bolo is pretty basic but it’s styled with a few necklaces which makes the look much more nuanced and sophisticated.

Left: Hot chick. Right: “Hi, this is my bolo tie. It’s an acorn.” AWESOME.

While the necktie-tee is kinda played out, the bolo-tee is totally fresh.

I’m into how casual and outdoorsy this one is. I’d like to wear it with some moccasins and a flower behind my ear.

This girl is totally cool. Partially because of her tasteful gold bolo but mostly because she exists in a cartoon David Lachappelle world.

So simple. Cute.

You’re scary. Will you be my friend?

I want to fall asleep and wake up magically transformed into this boy, complete with all the awesome clothing and neon bolos. So rad.

I love anything bright and graphic. These win best bolo prize!

And finally, a non-bolo. I thought this Lego tie was way too cool to keep to myself so here it is. I think this kid is like 12-year-old and I resent that he’s 300 times more awesome than I could ever be.
