style Photos taken by me  in my bedroom with a camera stacked on a chair as a tripod : HOW I STYLE ALOHA SHIRTS 4 different looks with vintage aloha shirts. Easy to layer with, especially with jackets, jeans, and trousers. Add a statement pair of sunglasses over your eyes and take the look to the next level.  Clean skin, and Milk Makeup's Quickie helps keep my face looking fresh in combination with these casual and street style inspired outfits. Layer the blush stick over your eyes and the apples of your cheeks to create soft lavender tones to give you that "no makeup, makeup look" that everyone seems to be going for these days. Stay tuned for next week's part two of "How I Style Aloha Shirts," where I feature the last three aloha shirts that I styled.

Music For Your Fri-YAY 7

             Tunes for your Friday            tunes that I've been loving and new bops for you to discover: MUSIC This is a segment I call "Music For Your Fri YAY." I love to listen to music when I'm happy, and when I'm happy it's usually Friday or the end of the week.   In this playlist, the first half of songs sort of embody what Hawaii sounds and looks like to me.

style Photos taken by me using my phone camera: TIM'S MIRROR SELFIES This is another new segment on my blog which I call "Tim's Mirror Selfies." Sometimes photoshoots are a little too much work and mean dedicating my entire Saturday morning taking pictures for my  Androgynous Look of the Week  series. Setting up a tripod, taking the pictures by myself with the timer function,  getting the pictures taken at the right time when the lighting is not too light or dark —the list goes on and on. In my opinion, planning outfits beforehand limits how much I share with you guys the clothes that I wear on a daily basis. The time when I'm rushing out of the door to get ready for school or over the weekend shows my true, authentic style when I don't have any time to think to myself the intricate details of each outfit.
