Hiking on a 90 °F day

Was enjoying those spring days and all of a sudden the temperature went up to 90 °F on Saturday (April, 22nd) which also happened to be Earth day. I honestly wasn't aware that it was going to be this hot that day but regardless of the hot weather, I went for hiking on Anaheim Hills Trails. I really enjoyed it out there and I was the only person there as others were probably at home staying away from the heat. But the good thing is that I got to capture some amazing videos of the scenery and sunset there. I shared one of the clips on my Instagram page (@grace_for_men) exclusively for Earth day. April has always been one of my favorite months, not just because it's my birthday month but also because of spring and the atmosphere,


What I wore?

This outfit isn't really usually worn for hiking though lol . I regret not wearing my track pants and just the top by it's self.

Shirt:      Dockers shirt
Tank:      WalMart tank top  (WalMart has some pretty cool cheap priced tank tops)
Jeans:     H&M    (As always because it's my favorite brand)
  Hat:     California Crown   (They have a dope variety of snapbacks)

The adi-Ease skate shoe from adidas makes a return for the fall in a camo-patterned rendition.

J.Crew & Timex Introduce a Black & Brown Diver

Way back in 2012, J.Crew and Timex teamed up as a part of the American clothier’s “In Good Company” endeavor to introduce the collaborative Andros — a clean timepiece that’s still offered to this day. Now, after introducing a Vintage Field Army Watch in the years since, J.Crew and Timex are revisiting their co-branded diver, updating it with a darker color palette inspired by stealthy tactical timepieces. The result is a design that comes decked out in black while employing details like a quartz analog movement, glow-in-the-dark hands, a functioning bezel and water-resistance up to 100 meters. Finally, a brown nylon strap caps things off.


Fans can find the new arrival now online and in select stores for $128 USD.

BMW and Garage Italia Customs collaborated and unveiled the "CrossFade Paint Concept" i8

BMW and Garage Italia Customs have teamed and represented us the i8 wrapped in a new color concept called CrossFade. The colorway was inspired by the pointillist painting style, which was popular during the fin de siècle period, and utilizes optical color mixing to provide a gradient finish to the vehicle. The Protonic blues and dark silvers were used in order to bring emphasis to the cars’ swooping lines.


BMW plans to roll out the CrossFade as an available option sometime in 2017.

A nice finishing touch is the slight sheen on the black leather tongue, offering a hint of luxury.

Adidas releases it's Ultra Boost in Navy Blue Color

Adidas is revisiting its navy Ultra Boost this summer, putting a spin on last year’s version for a brand new 2016 release. This time around the kicks get the gradient treatment — a look that we’ve seen applied to a number of other make-ups over the past few months — and echo the women’s “Deep Blue Sea” colorway that appeared back in May. Unlike that women’s pair, however, these stick to darker blue hues throughout and see silver and gold Ultra Boost branding along the external heel counter.


Though sizes may be mostly sold out at Sneaker Politics, the latest colorway of the fan-favorite runner should be landing soon at additional adidas stockists worldwide.

Laguna Beach Vibes

California beaches won't disappoint you. Someone asked me a question few weeks ago ; "What's your favorite beach in California?" , I was speechless and then I said that I guess I like them all. Every beach I go to, seems better than the old ones. This happens every time.

Anyways, I captured some random pictures along my way to Laguna Beach .

Kept my beach towel and essentials here. This spot was a perfect pick as it was just near to the beach cave and the waves weren't able to reach this spot and also because there weren't any people around. I'm not really anti-social but it's just that sometimes we all want some time of our own. By the way, I went to the high wave zone and the wave threw me back to the surface. Just another thrilling moment to my memories.

I entered the beach from this path, Not many people use this path as it's far from the main area of the beach and also because a part of the staircase is broken. As I saw the lifeguard there, I started thinking that maybe sometimes being a lifeguard is a an easy and tension-free duty.

I don't know why but somehow this is my favorite part of Laguna Beach. I noticed that not much people hang around this part of the beach or maybe that's because I was around, just kidding!  :D  xD  

Saw this patio of one of the homes around the beach. Isn't this picture lovely? If I lived here, I would love to have my breakfast here in the morning and utilize this patio more than the people who live here. By the way, this is a private property so I would give complete credits to the home owner/owners.

Credits to respected home owner (btw I took this pic)

Saw this old vintage care near the place where I parked my car. By the way, I'm not sure about the make/ company of the car. Maybe it's Cadillac . Then, I also saw an old vintage Rolls Royce car but I wasn't able to take it's picture.

Credits to respected car owner. (I took this pic btw)

Finally, I would conclude that Laguna Beach is really an amazing beach and I would highly recommend you guys to go there. Just know that finding parking there can be a pain in the butt but the wait is worth it.  I know that I wasn't able to take many photos for this blog post but I'll try to make a better and detailed blog post based on Laguna Beach in near future. Stay tuned till then and wait for more travel blog posts.

This is me by the way, I'm one of the bloggers from Grace For Men.

Xiaomi's First Laptop (Notebook Air)

Chinese device-maker Xiaomi has just announced its first laptop and it bears more than a passing resemblance to Apple’s portable computer products. Even the device’s name—the Mi Notebook Air—might ring more than a few bells. The device comes in two sizes: 13.3-inch and 12.5-inch, both with full-HD screens, metal chassis, individually backlit keyboards, type-C USB charging ports, and two USB ports. Xiaomi boasts that the Notebook Air is 13% thinner and 11% smaller than Cupertino’s rival.

Connectivity-wise, the Notebook Air comes pre-installed with Xiaomi Sync software, allowing users to pair their computer with their smartphone. This connectivity feeds into Xiaomi’s grander vision of users interacting within the Internet of Things.

The larger model will retail for approximately $750 USD while the more compact option will go for approximately $540 USD, though these are likely to be a China-only release starting on August 2.

This "Kaleidoscopic" Carpet Let's You Interact With Abstract Art

Artist Miguel Chevalier, who is renowned for his colorful digital works was recently commissioned by the 2016 Milton Keynes International Festival for an installation that would be placed in the town’s Middleton Hall. The project is a “magic carpet” that encompasses a large section of the Hall’s floor, and in true nature of Chevalier’s art, the piece is not only colorful and abstract, but also interactive. While it was already presented in 2014, the newer version has different scenes and graphics that people can walk on — they can shift and manipulate the shapes and colours on the floor simply by stepping on them. It’s similar to those interactive floors you’d find at your local mall, but on a grander and more impressive scale. Furthermore, a special mobile sound by artist Ray Lee accompanies the installation to give participants a more visceral experience.

“Magic Carpets” will be at the Mitlon Keynes Internation Festival from July 15 to 24, 2016.

The new " Mercedes-Benz Future Bus"

The German automobile manufacturer introduced its Future Bus that is seemingly a game-changer in the burgeoning world of public transportation.
The mechanization involves a network of various cameras that are placed all around the bus, GPS as well as two distinctive radar systems. The Future Bus works exactly how a normal bus would except it doesn’t require a driver to help it traverse through city streets—touting street-light recognition and the ability to stop and unload passengers by itself. However, there is a driver seat and wheel just in case human intervention is needed. Inside the bus, the interior is decked out with three different areas depending on how long your commute is, a massive display screen for the driver (if there is one) to communicate with passengers as well as taking design cues of city parks—ceiling lights and handrails resemble tree branches.
