The Mosquito Bag

District Cotton $52.00
The exterior of the mosquito bag is made from recycled Cambodian mosquito netting with the remnants of Japanese raincoat material used as lining. The colors are killer but I am eyeing the burnt orange. It is versatile enough for use as a book bag, or grocery bag, but would specifically make a wonderful rainy day bag.

Color Block Trends

Remember those little color blocks called Lego's? You know the toys we used to play with as kids.
Color Block will be huge in Spring. Marc Jacobs took color blocking a little too literal. Check out these Lego accessories for spring 2008:

Lego Head band


Lego Belt Buckles







Military uniforms inspiration?


It seems Marc Jacobs is not the only person being inspired by Lego's. I mean I used to make all sorts of things out of Lego's but never anything like this.

LEGO art by Nathan Sawaya

Nathan Sawaya makes a life out of Lego Art. Check out http://www.brickartist.com/ for more pieces.

Here are some more not so literal forms of color blocking.


Etro spring 2008

Color Block leggings.

Abaeté Spring 2008




This makes me want to make Lego jewelry/art.

Now, Block To You

Check out this Fendi To You bag.

It converts into a clutch!

Fendi To You Convertible Bag
$1,300.00
Neiman Marcus
I love the unexpected color block combinations. Not only
is it two bags in one but two distinct styles. I really wish
that I owned this Fendi bag.

However, If you like the idea of the bag then here is an obviously
Fendi inspired clutch. Although, not convertible it is way cheaper
and still pretty cool.

High Fashion Colorblock Clutch
$189.00
South Moon Under

Hey, atleast it is not another Forever 21, Top Shop, or H&M rip off report.

Also, I am going to see Ghostface tonight for a free scion show.

Heima A Film By Sigur Rós

I have never been able to catch Sigur Rós live. However, they recently released a film called Heima, a live DVD of their tour in Iceland.
This film is exciting because Sigur Rós is highly influenced by their homeland. And it is nice to get a chance to see it all in the works with magical landscapes and hidden secrets.
Here is the trailer for Heima :



Check out the Heima Film website for more information on the film. You can also listen to some of their songs.
I love to listen to this band when I need a relaxing escape. Music inspires fashion and that is why I am posting this. Hopefully, you guys will find this as inspiring as I.

Another Random Night

Johnny , xyz ev, and Mikey

Everyone loves shoes so here are our shoe shots.




Thank you to Dustin Chad for taking these pictures and for our future photoshoot collaborations!

Also, Flosstradamus is djing tonight and it should be fun.

Momo The Bug: Chapter 1

Here are some pictures I took this morning in my backyard.




Also, I don't retouch these since I have yet to learn photoshop.

Pewter and Gold

Sixes and Sevens Metallic Hi Top $68.00 Urban Outfitters

These metallic snakeskin high tops are the perfect reason to throw out every sneaker you own. The shoe's classic silhouette is reminiscent of the, still popular, Chuck Taylor. Unlike the latter, these have a more elegant feel with the exciting addition of the buckle straps! Not only will they be a relief for sore feet but will also make a powerful fashion statement.


*I suggest immediate removal of the white laces to be replaced with contrasting black laces.

Twelve By Twelve Puff Jacket

LS Puff Jacket $49.00 forever 21

This coat would be the mistress of this coat.

Holiday Wish List: Frye Oxford

Frye Lisa Oxford Pump $158.00 shopbop.com

These Frye oxford pumps are a new necessity in my life. You can't go wrong with an oxford in a sleek and classic silhouette.
My favorite part is the hidden half inch platform which makes the shoe comfortable enough for walking on miles of concrete a day. I would not doubt running in these babies is almost as fun as walking in them.
I need new everyday shoes and these look like a great option. They are no doubt versatile enough for any outfit. The price is reasonable since they will leave you with endless memories of debauchery, dancing, and... walking.

Classic With A Twist

Nature vs. Future Shirt dress Now: $172.00

This classic shirt dress is made of 100% organic cotton. It can be worn to work, school or any formal event. What most makes this dress special is the asymmetrical twist design. I would stay away from bold jewelry just to keep the focus of the dress on the design but I would go all out on the shoes with some bold patterned pumps!

Tom Binns: Bee hive Bracelet

Bee hive bracelet $465.00 net-a-porter.com

I love the bee detail on this bracelet. It is a great piece to add to your collection.
I would wear this bracelet with something unexpected like an old shirt, skinny jeans and ankle boots. It would also be a great accessory to a well tailored suit.
