Update Your Denim
Let's be honest. We all have the typical blue jeans in our closets and it seems so comfortable to reach for them because they will probably never go out of style. But, after spending more time trying to put together a different mix on top, why not switch out your bottoms instead? Get out of your comfort zone and into a pair of grey jeans. Change doesn't need to be drastic--just noticeable.
From left to right, then below:
Cheap Monday Grey Skinny
Find it at Urban Outfitters
Naked and Famous Weird Guy (Grey Selvedge)
Find it at KarmaLoop
Obey Men's Juvee Modern (Raw Grey)
Find it at DefyBoardshop
These are just a few suggestions. If you've got some shoes or Shoeture you want to show off, grey denim is P E R F E C T.

The Twins graffiti artists
Os Gêmeos (the twins) are graffiti artists from São Paulo, Brazil. They began their carriers in 1987 as graffiti artists and gradually became an influence in the local scene. Their murals often feature yellow-skinned characters that the twins have both seen in their dreams. The subjects to their murals range from family portraits to commentary on São Paulo’s social and political circumstances.
Their latest mural can be seen in Lisbon, Portugal. Taking over the façade of two walls ofthe corner building. The attention to detail is what makes this muralbreathtaking. They took advantage of the space and made a two dimensional space a three dimensional. Through the use of shadows The Twins help create the visual aspect of arms coming away from the walls. The use of bright color allows the eyes to constantly follow the rhythm of the mural. It must be difficult to drive past this and not stop.
