Sweet fall pieces from TopShop NYC

Some of you may not know about some of the insanely awesome stores in New York that have super awesome hipster/euro streetwear clothings and web-shops. So here I am letting you know there is more cool streetwear out there than Urban and H&M. Now some of these are European so sizes might be crazy but ALAS, they have nifty little size guides!: D
You may notice on some of these posts I focus a bit more on menswear not because I am a male myself but because, frankly, men can't dress themselves to save their lives. Lets face it.

Topman.com
Black Wool Mix Military Jacket $160 ... and SEXY!

People's Market Stripe tee $48

Open Drapey Cardigan... $80 HOTT!! (i will be making cheaper versions of these soon i'll let you know ; ) )


Monkey Genes Skinny Stretch... $100 Cooler than Cheap Mondays, sweet colors, awesome banana logo on the waist button.


Ankle Hight Boat Shoe $110... so much cuter than the regular boat shoe.

Generic surplus shoes are readily available here but The Generic Man collection is only available in select boutiques in NYC and LA.

He understands the significance of quality construction and clean, simple, refined lines.
The generic man is confident enough in himself to accept simplicity." -thegenericman.com
couldn't have said it better myself.

Creative Recs aren't going anywhere.

My obsession with Creative Recreations came a bit late in the game but they are still some of the sickest kicks around and some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I'm Loving the two strap Dicocos available on urbanoutfitters.com (Pictured Below) : D The Cesarios (one strap) are still awesome but I'm seeing a lot of shoes with multiple Velcro straps coming into play for fall 09. I mean check out the sick Reebok Classic remixes I posted the other day. Multi colored Velcro straps?!?! Who doesn't want those?! I don't care if they are girls' shoes! haha.

These can be pricey for some people ranging from about $95 to $130. I will be continuing my shoe obsession for the next couple posts for KICK WEEK highlighting much more affordable/ fashionable kicks. Stay tuned ; )

AB FAB coming BACK!

Fox to redo 'Absolutely Fabulous'
Network taps Zander to adapt Saunders series
by: Cynthia Littleton

Edina and Patsy are ready to take on L.A.

Fox is developing a redo of Jennifer Saunders' enduring Britcom "Absolutely Fabulous," to be exec produced by Mitch Hurwitz, Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum for Sony Pictures TV, Tantamount and BBC Worldwide America.

Christine Zander ("Saturday Night Live") is set to write the script and will exec produce along with the BBC's Ian Moffitt and original series creator Saunders. Fox has given Sony a script order with hefty penalty attached.

The latest attempt at a U.S. rendition of "Ab Fab" will be transplanted to L.A. but retain the basic template of the original, revolving around the friendship of two boozy, over-40 best friends who are desperate to stay hip and youthful and who carry on under the disapproving eye of Edina's teenage daughter, Saffy.

More than a decade ago, Roseanne Barr worked on developing a U.S. version of the show with Carrie Fisher for ABC. CBS' 1995-98 Cybill Shepherd comedy "Cybill" had an "Ab Fab" flavor to it. Another short-lived 1995 sitcom, CBS' "High Society," starring Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell, was a thinly veiled imitation.

Original series starred Saunders and Joanna Lumley. It was a big hit in Britain and successful import for Comedy Central. In the U.K., "Ab Fab" ran as a regular series from 1992-95, with a two-part finale airing in 1996. Saunders and Lumley reunited for further adventures with fresh segs produced in 2001 and 2003.

EQUALITY ON CAMPUS! BE THERE!

EQUALITY!






On January 27th, 2009 high school and college students across the country will
be wearing the same shirt to school as a way to show unity within a community in
the fight for LGBT equality, particularly marriage equality. This protest, entitled
"Equality On Campus Day" is occurring a week after Obama is inaugurated to remind
him of his promises to repeal both the Defense of Marriage Act and the "Don't Ask,
Don't Tell" policy in today's United States military.

At 2:00 PM EST Virginia Commonwealth University students, gay and straight, will be gathering
on the compass right outside of Shafer Dining Court to protest against Prop 8 and marriage inequality.
We need as many people as possible. If you don't have the money for a T-Shirt, make your own!
And bring posters!!

To buy your t-shirt today, check out this website: http://www.cafepress.com/studentsforequa
(the regular t-shirt is only $10...not bad). All of the proceeds will be going to Lambda Legal,
an organization in California that is currently trying to battle to repeal Prop 8. View more
of their landmark cases for LGBT equality here:
http://www.lambdalegal.org/our-work/in-court/cases/landmark-cases.html

For more information contact Eric Ross at eross@studentsforequality.com or Chris Strider
at striderc@vcu.edu or visit our website at www.studentsforequality.com.
This is the biggest LGBTQ Movement since the 1970's! Let's make this one just as powerful!
Whether you're gay, straight, bisexual, or just questioning...be a part of this movement today!

Richmond really IS for dance parties!

So i'm a fashion design student and as many of you may or may not know we fashion designers never sleep. This is a late night music video i recorded (with my phone). Featuring Kelly Cassady, Nedim Sudic, Valerie Newton, and Aisha Moten.




This clip was taken the first week i lived in my newest dwelling place. QuadK and Dnasteee are breakin it down in my kitchen/livingroom. Art work on the walls provided by Chelsey Barnes of GrossNoises Art. (can't really hear the music but its fun to watch)



And last but definitely not least. This is when I was still living on old Grove Ave. The roommate Chelsea Stallings. Enough Said.

In case you missed it...

These videos are kinda strange. I took them with my phone so some stuff you may not understand. So sorry in advance.

In 804, Marley is an amazing piano singer. She made up the entire song while some random guy was playing a piano.





AAAAANNNDDD in 757 berk, chelsey, amy and ryan ring in the new year... 3 days late. They are amazing.
