For those that know me, know that I have a healthy appetite for all things kicks so one day a week I moonlight at
The Darkside Initiative in San Francisco.  There’s no dress-code, the only requirement is that I wear Nike or Converse since those are the shoes we sell.  Here’s my outfit from last week’s day at The Darkside.

Earrings: Giant Gold Hoops,  Santee Alley Special (the bigger the better!)

Tee: Logo Tee, WTAPS

Necklace: Past, Present, Future Necklace, Dogeared (for me it doesn’t represent time but myself and my 2 sisters - we all have the same necklace)

Pants: Cargo Pant, Mama

Sneakers: Nike Trainer Dunk Low

Today marks the US release of English newcomer Duffy’s Rockferry. I don’t know what’s going on in the UK right now - maybe something in the water - but they are churning out talented ladies left, right and center. Duffy’s raspy voice takes me back to the hey-day of Motown. I’m sure tons of comparisons will be made with La Winehouse but rest assured, Duffy has a sound that is all her own. Her debut CD, Rockferry drops today and if you’re in NYC it’s your lucky day because she’s doing an acoustic in-store performance at the Virgin Megastore in Union Square. Check here for details on attending the show. Also be sure to befriend her on myspace.

Duffy’s official video for Mercy:

Uniqlo UT has a fun and unique way to promote their latest series of t-shirts…Check it out at Uniqlo.com!

Samsonite Black Label and Alexander McQueen joined forces a while back to create a limited-edition collection of luggage.  The pieces were incredible and featured black and white suitcases with either an enlarged croc-like pattern embossed on the leather or a faux-spinal column protruding from the front - very avant garde (or scary)!  The collaboration was such a success that the pair are releasing a silver luggage collection for Fall.  ”Created with Bayer, one of the world’s largest producers of polymers and high-performance plastics, the bags’ shiny silver coating feature a special UV resistant mirror paint that won’t crack or scratch. ”  The luggage will be available for sale beginning in September and retails from $800 to $2500.  With that price tag, it’s truly for the “jet set.”

 Cultist just received new Claw Money pieces and they’re super cute.  The bustier/corset is very clever and I love the PMS tee - it’s very “I am woman, hear me roar.”  You can get the tops here.   More pics after the jump. . .  Read the rest of this entry »
