Good Wood


Plant a tree get a watch???? Uhhm yeah that sounds right(I think). As we all know trees bring us valuable things like paper, houses, music instruments, pencils (ugh reminds me of school), and oxygen. but who would of ever thought you can get a watch, earrings, necklaces, or even sunglasses made out of wood. It has been made possible thanks to W Shock, Shwood sunglasses, and Good Wood. I guess the next question would be that if you invested in these are you saving trees or destroying them(Adrian).



The Air Max Chronicles

The Nike Air Max has been around since 1987, that's 23 years of stylish running shoes. Over the years, Nike has continued to reinvent the Air Max, and ultimately this has made the Air Max a style icon. Available in countless colors and iterations, the Air Max is always a trendy and comfortable choice.
It all started with this, the Nike Air Max 1.













Some of the most popular evolutions have been, the 95's,














97's,












and the more recent 2010's













They're all really great sneakers, but what if you were to combine them? What if Nike pulled a has-been pop star move and released a "greatest hits" sneaker, one that combined the best design ideas of its three best selling Air Max's? Well, they have, and here it is, the Nike Air Max 24-7







With the sole of a 2010, silhouette of the 97, and the design of a 95, the 24-7 is almost flawless. I personally own a pair, I had been looking to buy a pair of Air Max's, but the 95's sole looks awkward to me, the 97's color schemes are hit or miss, and the 2010 lacks the style of its predecessors. But with the 24-7 you cant go wrong.
Yet it all comes at a price, a legit pair can go for anything from 90-165 dollars, but they're worth it. The 24-7 might be my first shoe to get an encore purchase

"Barca Blazers"


As a soccer fan, I'm always excited to see companies collaborate with teams and make sick products. The soccer club that I support is Barcelona. I found this sick pair of Nike Blazers that match one of there kits (jerseys). Enjoy............(Christopher Colas)

"Lavender"

The Trinidadian blogger Va$htie (Vashtie) recently released her version of the Jordan 2 sneaker. Not only is she a famous blogger who is known to be seen with Pharell and Big Sean, But she is the first woman to design a Jordan sneaker. Her Lavender color-way for the shoe is pretty cool. Enjoy...............(Christopher Colas)

Uniqlo

Living in New york City now I come across interesting things everyday, but yesterday I stumbled into this vibrant colored store. (Vibrant because of the stacks of sweaters all coordinated as soon as you walk in) The store is located in the US of course (Soho), China, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Russia....You get the picture, it's a nation wide store. I might be late on finding out about the store but it was well worth the wait.
The store has a wide variety of clothing there. From corduroys all the way to bubble jackets. Uniqlo is a store for all. Some say it is a step up from American Apparel and Urban Outfitters! H&M doesn't even stand a chance to be compared.
But the store is located at 546 Broadway, New York, NY 10012
So take a visit when you get a chance.

Ecstatic Backpack Girl!!!

I think I'm in love guys!!
In my past post I may have mentioned how much I wanted a pair o
f Dr. Martens,() but guess what!? I bought
me a pair! They're supposed to be an unlimited edition but eh I'm sure I'll see someone walking around New York City with them on. Of course as soon as I bought them I had to take a hundred photos with them. I encourage everyone to get at least one pair....Just saying :)

Live from Sao Paulo


I enjoy different kinds of music, I'll listen to almost any catchy song. (as long as its not made by Soulja Boy) When I first heard CSS, I was instantly enamored. From the excellent guitar intro's to the folk-like lyrics, CSS is a very unique group. It is instantly apparent that music is their passion, money to them is a secondary goal. CSS is Portugese for Cansei De Ser Sexy, literally "I'm tired of being sexy." The name comes from a Beyonce interview in which she says the quote. The band was formed in 2003 in Brazil. Whats interesting is that you have probably heard many of their songs on commercials and video-games and just never realized who it was. My favorite song from CSS is "Rat is Dead," a very energetic and enjoyable song with great background guitars.
Try out both of their albums, Cansei De Ser Sexy and Donkey.
