Style on Film: Boomerang
I was checking out the urban classic Boomerang
the what goes around comes around romcom with a happy ending. The movie is loaded with funny people Eddie, Martin, David Alien Grier, John Witherspoon, and Chris Rock (not to mention the beautiful duo of Robin Givens and Halle Berry)...
One would think that Eddie's character the super confident lady-killer would be the best dressed of the trio (Martin, Eddie and D.A.G.). Admittedly Eddie was more daring and futuristic (he had a plasma TV mounted in 1992) and a couple of times it worked...but look at how D.A.G. stuck with the classics (unlike Martin) and although it was 18 years ago it looks like he stepped out of the 2011 J.Crew fall/winter catalog.
Who do you think was the most stylish?

$150, Indecision 2010
I'm turning into my Pops! Back in the day when my only job was to go to middle school, before I could even ask for the new pair of Air Jordans
I would get a lecture about how it didn't make sense to pay $100 (kid size) for 1 pair of shoes when I could get 2 or 3 pair for the same price.
A favorite pair (no.VI) of Jordansfrom my childhood were recently re-retro-ed, but for $150 and as demonstrated I can make $150 stretch. In college I bought Jordans all the time but now I'm not sure if I can pull the trigger.
Nike, Sperry, Clae...I don't believe the Quality over Quantity argument can't be applied here.

Best Dressed from NBA Draft 2010
The Top 5 Best dressed Lottery Picks from the 2010 NBA Draft (I realize the Draft was a few weeks ago but it was too tough to quickly bounce back after that game seven loss by the C's).
5. DeMarcus Cousins, Pick 5 to Sacramento Kings. The fifth pick comes in at number 5, getting style points for coordinating with his team's colors before he even knew who his team would be.
4. Al-Farouq Aminu, Pick 8 to Los Angeles Clippers. Not a big pool to choose from here, although he added a personal touch with the glasses, I'm not really a fan of the non-prescription (unless you're Spike Lee or Woody Allen it's guilty until proven innocent) big frame glasses even though they're "in".
3. Xavier Henry, Pick 12 to Memphis Grizzles. Although it's not pictured here he had the cleanest break of all the Lottery Picks. Two-button, nice fit, played it safe.
2. Paul George, Pick 10 to Indiana Pacers. The tightchain necklace held him back from the number 1 spot...actually the number one spot had something to do with it too.
1. Wesley Johnson, Pick 4 to Minnesota Timberwolves. On paper this outfit is all over the place, Tartan/Plaid Pants, Double-breasted Gold button Blazer, Green Polka-dot pocket square, Gordon Gecko contrast-collar shirt in yellow... but Wesy-Wes was able to pull it all together very nicely. Well done!

My Watch Strap Supplier
I found out about TungchoyWatch.com on eBay while looking for an even cheaper alternative to the J.Crew straps and I've bought three watch straps from him (shown below) since. You can get them in a solid color for about $10 and striped from $18. Check out my Watch Strap Guide (here)!
Strap from Tungchoy.com in Navy Blue.
Style on Film: Michael Cera
In the movie Youth in Revolt (2010) the nerdy virgin Michael Cera (Nick Twisp) from Superbad fame creates an edgy alter-ego (François Dillinger) a la T.I. vs T.I.P.
in reverse to help him land his dream girl. François is flashly, Nick is preppy but they are both stylish.
