Got a chance to hang with the Vestal crew last weekend after hours at a party/art show they hosted with local OC retailer The Closet, and was stoked to catch up with the guys on the latest and greatest from their neck of the woods...

Rolling into the new year, Vestal’s 2010 ad campaign showcases Vestal Featured Artists Peaches, Eagles of Death Metal, Amanda Blank and more as well as the complete Vestal Surf, Skate & Snow roster including Jordy Smith, Chris Haslam & Danny Kass  - each in their own unique, inventive environment.

The brand also recently dropped some new watch styles, and we've added them to our collection on the Rideshop. The De Novo is a fresh new look to their line, and the Doppler is simple and sleek, setting itself apart as a definite statement piece. Both watches are dope and top picks of mine for the year. They've also added some new colors to their now legendary ZR-3 collection, which continues to be a killer piece for Vestal.

Vestal's also hitting the scene this year with their new eyewear collection Vestal Vision, which they launched last month at the Class show at ASR. The line is clean and adds a steezie touch to the brand in true Vestal rockstar fashion. The shades will be coming up on the Rideshop soon, so be sure to check back!

And if you happen to be in Austin, Texas on the 20th this month, Vestal is throwing a party at the Longbranch Inn. Party starts at high noon and the lineup includes-

DJ Travis Keller, Hussle Club, Dios, Darker My Love, Chew Lips, Mini Mansions, The Icarus Line. To rsvp for the guestlist hit up events@vestalwatch.com.

Vestal knows how to throw a good party, so I highly recommend going if you're looking for a good time. Do it, it's good for your health.
