It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Frederick Douglass

Win/♥ Naketano

The moment I saw Naketano’s line back in 2006 (wow! flashbacks!) I fell in love. Their sweatshirts are the best. Period. No competition. It’s not just their impeccable design: they have this way of making you feel like you’re lounging around in your favorite sweatshirt (which you are) but making you look like you’re all...

Awesome Menswear

Menswear usually doesn’t do it for me… I mean, really how creative can you get with a classic shirt? Thank goodness for designers like Bronwen Marshall (who will be showing at On/Off in Feb)… I love these designs! For more, check out her interview on Dazed Digital. My sources tell me its a bad commute...

Van Markoviec

OMG, I can’t believe that this upcoming weekend is the 4th of July. It seems like just yesterday I was dancing barefoot on the Vineyard… Anyway, as I sit back and try to figure out where the past year went, enjoy the eco-friendly looks of Van Markoviec! A self proclaimed “fresh label with a green...

Tina Kalivas

I could have sworn that I’ve written about Tina Kalivas before… I was realy into her Polyrhythms, 2009 collection and vividly remember posting about it, but alas, I couldn’t find it anywhere on the site! Anyway, here is Kalivas’ Totem 2010 collection. I love the way she implements color and shape into all of her...

Gearing up for a crazy August….the next few weekends have me going everywhere from NYC to the CT shore and beyond. I have a favorite journal that I have been neglecting all summer . . . I really should be writing some of this stuff down . . . Anyway, speaking of journals, it was...
Have Mercy! New Brand Alert

Have Mercy! New Brand Alert

Every time I think I have things figured out, things get more complicated. Not in a bad way, in an intriguing sort of way . . . but complicated is complicated and I am definitely a fan of simplicity (contrary to what my current circumstances may suggest)! Good thing fashion is simple! Today’s designer is...

Ozz-some Tees

Finally the sun is out! I was literally one-click away from heading out to FLA this weekend! Anyway, one of my favorite things about spring is adding to my ever growing collection of t-shirts. To that end, I have been loving the designs coming out of Madrid-based  OZZ Fashion. OZZ is truly a multicultural design...

It’s never good when you wake up in the morning to a horoscope that claims you will spend the day, “picking up the pieces of your shattered calendar.” It’s even worse, when as you read this prediction, you find yourself sitting there trying to figure out how that is different from any other day… Calendars, ...
Pea Coat + Your Favorite Hoodie = Peahoodies

Pea Coat + Your Favorite Hoodie = Peahoodies

21 degrees and good morning! BRRR!!! I have been walking around my apartment trying to think of something cozy enough to tempt me outside… the short answer is nothing… then I remembered Abigail Adams‘ infamous Peahoodies. Taking the best from both (the cool classic shape of a pea coat and the warm cozy comfort of...

Smart is the new gangsta

For once, I am not going to go on some random tangent about my life and I’m going to go straight to the fashion (don’t get used to it, I’m just happen to be in a state of internal analysis at this point… rest assured,  you will get some long convoluted post with the final...
