Boneyards (Stussy x Neighborhood)

Bonyards comes to Toronto

Toronto upped their street fashion game in the heart of downtown – after visiting the Toronto Stussy store on Richmond Street, I was blindsided by the collaboration of Stussy and Neighborhood. The LA and Tokyo fashion brands teamed together to create a limited line of t-shirts, button up shirts, jeans, hats, accessories and even a shoe set with Nike.

Graphics used on the clothing take on the skater vibe of Stussy and the punk/biker vibe from Neighborhood. Group 1 items were released in June, Group 2 items in July and the final Group to end the releases were released this month, available around the world.

Keeping in line with the obsession of tattoo art on clothing (boggling where this trend was born), Boneyards hired on Jack Rudy to do a limited time collaboration.

Way to jump on the bandwagon Toronto, way to go.

Magazines are Life

Gemma Rogan NYC

Reading still is king – it’s hard to find time to sit down and read a good book or even a magazine with the hustle and bustle of life these days.

The one person I know that’s taking advantage of her time off? Gem of course. While wearing a fancy dress, because, well…that’s the only way to read.

> dress – rogan nyc.

Green Jacket

> jacket from h&m – military peacoat style, $39.99, striped ruffle shirt – gap, straight leg striped pant – club monaco, ankle boots – payless, golf club – stolen.

Bright colours, classic styling, and less for more. Nothing like a good jacket to kick star a new season that looms ahead. Reminds me of United Colours of Benetton era 2005-ish. By the by..check out their new fall offerings – the purple duffle coat is killing me inside with its unusual gorgeousness.

Lomo Life

It’s Lomo Love!

UrbanOutfitters likes to spam me, and I like it when they spam me good. That way I get to learn that apparently I have a knack for picking up things prior to them being popular (like that time that I bought into the corset belt and everyone gave me funny looks. They were right.)

Regardless, this one was a good vote of confidence that the lomo lifestyle is re-emerging (about time those out of whack photos came back).

The premise? Lots of plastic and strange effects as a result of them – there virtually is no traditional camera material in these snappers. Popular ones seem to be the reinvention of the “Holga“, “Diana+” and tons of fisheye.

Lomo Love is here. Too bad I gave it a good returning.

Yeah, I payless often.

Happiness can come cheap – sometimes. Yeah, yeah. I realize that I shop where Star Jones shops – but you have to get over the dowdiness to appreciate greatness.

Think about it!
