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 …

I absolutely love Kate Hudson’s style - I don’t know how she manages to finely mix unique pieces and classic styles together, but she somehow does it and makes it her own. Part of this could possibly be attributed to the works of Rachel Zoe, but it’s the person that wears it that manages to pull it off.
People.com has gathered some great candid snaps of the blondie on their website, located here. Take a flip-through and see if you agree with me.

I’m starting to develop a random inclination towards watching The Fit on MySpace - it’s great fun seeing celebrities dig up incredible finds in vintage shops (go vintage!) Watch Katy Perry (my newfound music love, that I affectionately dub my “lesbian music” - Re: I Kissed a Girl) shop at some great L.A. stores (such as PopKiller, Shareen Vintage, and Coquette). Get a gander after the jump.

If you follow gossip blogs like I do (nervous laughter and dry coughs), you’ll know about Lindsay Lohan’s work with Visa on promoting their UK campaign, Visa Swap.
Here’s the rundown:

For three weeks starting June 21 in the UK, you can bring your musty old clothes to the Covent Garden shop to receive points
For the July 19th weekend, lovely Brits can go in and use those points to swap for second hand clothing already donated.

A wonderous way to address the green movement with fashion, and emphasizing the importance and significance of …

Supposedly LL Cool J is back in a big way according to Sears, as the company has sponsored him to design his own mass-clothing line to allow Sears to appeal to an “urban demographic”. The company firmly believes that “LL Cool J for Sears” (the actual line name by the way) will hold great growth opportunity.
Apparently Sir LL Cool J thinks that having a wife and three daughters will suffice for understanding the female target demographic. Yes sir, we girls love our ghastly graphic T’s to fit snug and …

I just thought I’d share a clip from MySpace TV with Kate Nash that I rather enjoyed. Although we may not have comparable vintage boutiques in Toronto, I think it’s great how the Pumpkin Soup singer showcased the possibilities that vintage holds as she stops in at Squaresville in LA.
Check out the segment after the jump - it’s merry happy.

Everyone knows how I typically feel about celebrity lines - I usually find them a shameless self-promotion with no heed paid towards fabrication or design. But hey, there’s always an acception.
And who better to forgive than our beloved NSYNC* star Justin Timberlake. Blame it on nostalgia or oversight, but I spent a good 30 minutes perusing the official William Rast website and Youtube, gathering information on the increasingly popular apparel line. Named after the friendship of their grandparents, Justin Timberlake and fellow childhood Memphis buddy Trace Ayala started the line …
