FAKE Bag Obsession
How many times I have I rolled my eyes and ranted on this site about fake bags. Especially fake Louis. I won’t bore you with a repeat-rant . . . however I will say every time I see someone carrying a fake I want to tell them nicely, “We all know its a fake. We’re...
No More Rainydayz (Free download!)
Amp Live of Zion I has done it again. I can’t stop listening to his Rainydayz remixes, available for free at 1776. He’s truly my favorite MC out right now… his beats are SICK!! The album itself has some history: After a cease and desist put the breaks on Amplive’s Radiohead In Rainbows remix project,...
Rise Up
With cool graphic tees and hoodies and a bumping sound track, at first glance, Rise Up seems like your typical (albeit very cool) online shop. This company, built on a foundation of social awareness and community empowerment, is really anything but. Founded by social workers Jesse and Maria Roberts, Rise Up is an international organization...
Great Aidah!
Aidah Fontenot is a talented lady. Not only does she make a mean piece of couture, she’s well versed in graphic design, photography, and fine art! Her new Etsy shop features her Aidah Collection, a sexy, elegant, relaxed line of one of a kind pieces. Her line is inspired by art and nature and is...
Change Your Look, Not Your Sole…
The title of this post is the concept behind Switchflops, an adorable little brand I was introduced to while relaxing on the Cape this weekend. Switchflops lets you instantly customize your look with just the switch of a strap. The concept is simple: buy one pair of flip-flops and switch the strap to fit any...
Couture SANS Guilt
Everyone knows that everyone needs to do more to reduce their environmental footprint. We get it. We do what we can . . . we buy organic products, we use canvas bags instead of plastic and we try to shop at places that care. One thing that’s kind of annoying about the whole “green movement”...
Supersample Your Life
If you’re here, you are either seeking art, a purveyor of art or, (most likely) both! The thing with art is, often times the harder you try, the less things end up looking like art. Like the best art is the stuff that happens by accident. I feel in love with supersampler‘s cute little camera...
It’s My Party (No Tears, I Promise)
I’m sooo excited about this up-coming long weekend. I’m definitely heading to the Cape for some rest and relaxation . . . I may even head back to Brown for good old fashioned reunion! In the meantime, I have to make it through these next two days (which, as I look at my calender, may...
Khan Me
A girl can dream of parties. . . especially those summer affairs that last into the wee hours of the night. I fell in love with Naeem Khan‘s Gold Draped Front V-Neck Dress the moment I saw it, and at this point I’m about to plan a party just so I have an excuse to...
Hermès For All
You know the bulk of my posts highlight unique, independent and up and coming fashion designers. Every now and then some of the major brands deserve a little bit of attention. Especially when what they’re pushing is fun and doesn’t cost a dime. Jumping on the whole DIY hand-bag thing (like I’m really going to...
Roberta Oaks/ Hawaii Style
I’m hoping to do more site updates this weekend. I keep going back and forth as to whether or not I want to have an “Urban Socialite Shop” section of the site. . . many of you have suggested it and I’m still trying to figure out exactly the best way to make it happen....
Creature of Habit
These came out a while ago and despite the fact I know they’re ridiculous, a tiny part of cringes every time one of the select shops that carries them sells out. Creature Hoodies are the brain child of Belgium born and US raised Patrick York Ma. He currently resides in the Bay (have I mentioned...
