5 WHITE PIECES FOR AFTER LABOR DAY

 HAPPY LABOR DAY!

       My stores closed, but all of my friends that work in contemporary/mass market retail are ringing and selling as we speak. I've heard from many American women about this very stupid rule about how you can't wear white after labor day. Never have I heard of a rule that stops someone from wearing a color during a certain period of time. On top of that, with this rule, what holiday makes it permissible to wear white again? Anyway, since I absolutely ABHOR this rule, in my rebellious fashion, I've curated 5 pieces (all white) that you can wear after labor day. If you feel guilty, you can wear one piece each month for the next 5 months till it gets a 'lil warmer.

THE TOP 10 MENS BAGS FROM SSENSE.COM

SO.... I'm not much of a man bag kinda guy, but for some reason this season designers are putting out some of the best bags I've seen in a while... pieces that are more desirable to me than sneakers (and sneakers are a OBSESSION of mine.).I'm looking for another manbag myself since I kinda want something a little fresher than the Jack Spade bag I've carried around for almost 2 years. The menswear handbags have shapes that are more masculine and in darker, more textured leathers that don't come off as feminine, which is a plus because I (and most men) probably won't want to walk around with a Pink Birkin with heart charms falling from the clasp.Another twist is backpack styles that have prints, unique-shaped pocket and zipper placements, and more camper backpack styles (wider, more rectangular styles opposed to standard vertical shapes). Of course I'm a SSENSE fanatic, so below are the top 10 mens bags from them that I'm sure will not last for sale season.

THE TOP 20 NEW ARRIVALS for FALL 2013

  It's FALL! Well not really, I actually just stepped in the house from the burning sun as I'm writing this, but obviously retailers aren't paying attention to the current weather. Pretty much every website and store has their first few deliveries for fall, nothing but furs, jackets, cashmere, and maybe a snuggie here or there. Below are my top 20 New Arrivals for Fall...

DAFT PUNK STYLE

So I've always been a fan of Daft Punk since I was a teenager. I pretty much have all their albums and love their early use of electronic music. It always breaks the mold and takes electronic music to a new level. Even their new work featuring Kanye West for his new album is absolutely unexpected and even though it boasts on more of the rocker side, songs such as " I Am a God" with the electronic sounds and details really brings back the same sound I always loved.
