Ten Second Epic featuring LIGHTS


Posted by Gloria Chik on July 22nd, 2009 - 2 Comments

 

I am so fond of this girl – when I caught wind that a group by the name of Ten Second Epic featuring LIGHTS on a track called “Everyday”, I had to give it a go. While I’m not crazy about the style of music, I love her passion. That and the anti-love is lovable (kidding! Kidding, stop ragging on me for being a bitter Betty yall)

Jean-Paul Gaultier and Evian

Evian’s always making waves (haha to that oh-so-witty pun) teaming up with Jean-Paul Gaultier for these limited edition bottles. It’s a stunning glass silhouette with crystals etched into it. I snagged two of these bad boys up as a welcome present to the Jet Cooper boys for their offices (more on that soon – I’m absolutely ecstatic about this upcoming mini-projecto).

 

Where’d I get them? Strangely enough, at Metro near where the fabulous Wynne Leung lives, and they were even on sale. Get them while you can – they’re not around for long!

FORT Apparel One Year Anniversary

This one’s for the boys – FORT Apparel from Trevor Crane (chyeah, there’s a name for you Mr. Crane!) is celebrating its 1 year anniversary of the 416. No need to buy flowers, just invest in either a Royal Blue or Retro Blue version of the shirt. One year of existence, it reminds me that I’ve been out and about (or rather, here and there) for about the same time. Love what the Torontonians are doing!

 

Congratulations on your one year FORT! The shirts are available at Stolen Riches or online at FORT Apparel‘s official website. I rocked out downtown with one of these shirts, it’s a comfy wear. That plus my Toronto SUBWAY Bracelet from Distill Gallery made a cute couple.

If you haven’t yet heard of The Remix Project, hear about it now (I did a profile of Marc Ecko x The Remix Project here). I received an email from the awesome Karla Moy from hustleGRL fame, about the collaboration between New Era and The Remix Project. They’re releasing a super exclusive limited edition Remix Project hat (only 72 made). The most astounding thing is that the hat is really only a $30 donation. Support a great local cause and pick up a hat!

While it’s not Fashion…


Posted by Gloria Chik on July 18th, 2009 - 4 Comments

While it’s not directly fashion, it’s definitely a lifestyle and culture bit. I watched “500 Days of Summer” today and thought it was exactly what I needed to watch. Sometimes things are coincidences and sometimes things are fate. I adored the execution of the film. I urge you to watch it – I don’t often rave about movies but this is so well worth the praise. Forewarning – this is not a love story!
