  Relax with Dorothy Lee Fashion, Shop, Streetwear | (2)

  Finally! A weekend where it's not 100 degrees, I'm not moving, and I don't have overwhelming plans. Don't you find that more you do, the harder it is to actually relax? Anyway, that's what I'm devoting this weekend to-- complete relaxation! When I think "relaxed" my mind drifts to some of my favorite designers. The kind that make clothes that you can just throw on and instantly look great. Dorothy Lee is a perfect example. Growing up in Los Angeles, the daughter of an architect, Dorothy Lee came to appreciate the beauty in landscaping, interior design and fine arts. Her family ...

  Rise Up Hot Designer, Ponder this..., Shop, Streetwear | (0)

  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 focused on creating a better world, one community at a time. "Rise Up” is a call to those living in the developed world to become aware of the suffering of the poor, and to do something about it. It is also an encouragement to those ...

  Super-Tuesday/ Supermandolini Fashion, Hot Designer, Jewelry, Products, Shop, Streetwear | (1)

  Another Super-Tuesday... without getting too political (check out Wonkette for that sort of thing), lets just say I'll be glad when this whole thing is over. That being said, when all is said and done, I hope our girl Hillary takes a seat. I'm definitely for Obama. Anyway, speaking of super-things, be sure to check out Supermandolini. Founded by two graphic designers from Thessaloniki, Greece, Supermandolini is a culmination of their love and passion for design. It started with a range of t-shirts and has branched out into a great collection of handmade goodies like necklaces, earrings, and a limited number ...

  Love Coffee? I do! Products, Shop | (1)

  It's May 1st, can you believe it? At least it's getting brighter and brighter in the mornings. Despite that I still need my coffee. Lots of coffee. In fact, my boyfriend always jokes that I'm married to my cup (actually he calls it a bucket) in the morning. It's only fitting that I love modern poverty's cup ring (pictured above). When holding the cup with all 5 fingers, the handle is conveniently located to fit your ring-finger to showcase the crystal "diamond" embedded into the gold "ring" colored handle. There's a cute little key spoon included as well. Definitely a ...

  Nak Nak (It’s Naketano’s New Spring/Summer Collection) Fashion, Favorites, Hot Designer, Shop, Streetwear | (0)

  I've written about Naketano in the past because I absolutely love the brand. I wear my Lari Grey Multi all the time... it's seriously the most comfortable sweatshirt ever (plus I always get tons of compliments whenever I wear it). Anyway, Christina and Jozo are always great about updating us with their latest collections. This time they wanted you to be the first to know about their their new spring/summer collection (I got the e-mail a while ago, sorry I'm just posting about it now!) Anyway, I'm sure you're going to adore their new line as much as I do. ...

  Not your typical rag… Dresses/ Party, Fashion, Shop | (0)

  One of the most frustrating things about a lot of my featured designers is that I could never wear them to work. It's always a super-formal suit with a cool pair shoes and maybe some flashy jewelry, although nothing too flashy. I always get excited when I find a designer that's versatile enough to wear to work and fun enough to wear on the weekends. Hence, my obsession with designer rag & bone. The company was founded in 2001 and all of their clothes are made in the USA. I love their sleek sexy lines and their sophisticated take on ...

  I like candy (but I like gold even better) Hot Designer, Jewelry, Shop | (0)

  Remember candy necklaces from your childhood? The way they tasted (mmm... sugary), the way they looked, and the way they kind of disintegrated on your neck as the day wore on? Rekindle those childhood memories with this adorable gold and silver necklace from Atypk. Its fun, colorful and will certainly bring its fair share of smiles (though not the colorful kind of its candy counterpart). Atypk is a great site. They have tons of cool products, great creative ideas and things that will definitely make you laugh. Be sure to stop by!
