WEEKEND PROJECT


THRIFT


I just got schooled.  I thought I knew the places to go and the ways to rummage, but F* was I mistaken. I was recently taken around L.A. for an in-depth tutorial on how and when to find the best of the best in vintage clothing...and it is WAR. These people are no joke.  Lucky for me, neither was my commander and I am a quick learner. Armed with our keen eyes and quick hands, we left a notable mark on the battlefields of boxes.  

Gone are the days of $100 t-shirts and $80 blazers. I know how to get them all for a nickel! And, they are all fresh from the morgue or jail or wherever these fashionable souls lost hold of their clothes - no middle man, no racks, no hangers, no markets.  

Get it done people. Learn the ways of the thrift.  Dig?

SHOPPING - SPACE 15 TWENTY


SO LA


This past weekend was marked by the launch party for Kim Gordon's (Sonic Youth) Mirror/Dash line for Urban Outfitters at their hot LA project Space 15 Twenty.  The Entrance Band played, Kim showed off her brand new King Charles Cavalier puppy, Hipster-Tripty kids looked good.  If you find yourself near Cahuenga and Hollywood, you should def. check out the line and the space.  The whole team over there has made the place so RAD.  If you need some help shopping, ask for the DM.  She is a total fox.
