i’m always looking for a reason to do a post on john jr., see previous post here, so when i came across an old vogue paris hommes international this past weekend i couldn’t help but feel the spirit of the ultimate all- american beach boy- striking similarities, don’t you think?

so it’s clear, summer is here- time to hit the beach! what do all beach boys need? a pair of trusty swim trunks, a sweatshirt, a gold chain, flip-flops, a linen shirt, a tank top, a drawstring pant, ray-bans, a wind breaker and a coca-cola- summer beach essentials! what do all beach girls need? boys that look like john jr.- it’s essential, don’t you think?

just to be clear- essentials never change, they are always the same, along with john jr. they are some of my favorite things! long live the spirit of the ultimate all-american beach boy!
