Maybe this dates me (ok, I know this dates me), but way back in the day, mixtapes were the thing. You know, if you liked someone you would spend hours on your dual tape deck transferring songs for that perfect “I love you” mix. I am obsessed with suck.uk’s modern twist on the classic mixtape. Each “tape” comes with a USB stick that stores up to 2 hour of high quality digital music - the same amount as you get on a C120 cassette tape. When you have 120 minutes you have to think carefully about what you are going to put on there! Write your own title, messages and play list all over the retro gift pack.
I LOVE this!! Sorry it’s a little late for V-Day, it’s the thought that counts!

TGIF. Like you wouldn’t believe!!! I swear the weeks keep getting busier . . . and the busier they get the faster they fly by . . . and then all of a sudden WHAM, it’s 2010!! Anyway, I’m posting Krys-n-Jack a little late (I meant to post last month but got preoccupied) but just in case you haven’t seen their creative, fun Spring 2010 collection, here you go. I absolutely love their playful designs and their choice of models. Gorgeous!
Krys-n-Jack is the collaboration of Jacquetta O’Dell and Leslie Henry. The two met in 2003 in Oklahoma, where they maintained independent clothing lines, putting on several fashion shows. From there they moved to London, studied for a year, and then moved to Los Angeles to get out of the rain and finish school.
Leslie has worked in fabrication her whole life, perfecting her craft in not only fabric, but leather, wood, and metal. Leslie has a background in interior design and upholstery; she finishes her BFA in Fashion Design in September 2009.
Jacquetta takes on most of the design and business side of the partnership. She also oversees an Online Boutique for EM & CO and they both design out of the upscale store on 3rd St. She graduated with a dual degree in Fashion Design and Business and is currently getting her Masters in Creative Writing.

I’ll leave you with some music for your weekend from the infamous Kevin Nottingham. Enjoy!
