Is Your Blood Blue Enough?

Dutch luxury denim label Blue Blood is a brand that’s really in line with my own personal tastes. Lucky for all us fashion fans out their the brand’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection branches out from just the well lived-in leanings of the jeans and makes it’s mark with modern takes on classic shapes and silhouettes. Inspired by Wes Anderson films like “The Royal Tennenbaums”, “A Life Aquatic” and “The Darjeeling Limited” traditional pairings are given a rather royal rebirth.

Expensive Taste

This fitted is from streetwear clothier Expensive Taste x New Era. I’m just going to keep it 100% with you all. I only like this hat for the message and the dope script used on it. I do have VERY Expensive Taste.

Layer That!

Keeping in line with the fall oriented posts here is a swell cardigan by commes des Garcons. The bold colors in the giant argyle create a statement while the neutral grays sleeves and trim reel in the pattern and keep it looking classy and not garish. I think it’s a dope item that will allow your cardigan to be the piece that makes the outfit instead of just another tool for layering and warmth.

Luxury Protection

For all my Blackberry users (God I miss my Blackberry sometimes.) The famed gadget customizer Amosu has released a luxury line of Blackberry cases made of luxury materials including, crocodile, python and ostrich skin. These are only recession proof, retailing at $580. I definitely wont be getting one, but they are nice to look at.

Ten comp

There hasn't been much information released about this new laptop by Sony. All I know is that it is a revist to the Vaio concept and it is extremely versatile. Still in the development stages I'm looking forward to see the specs when it is released.

Yeezy Air Force 1 Mash Up

After the giant hype that the Nike Air Yeezy's got at every drop it was obvious that we would see many many complilations, tributes and mash-ups involving the record-breaking shoes. Andrew Sofa, a customer and designer has created these Nike Bespoke Air Force 1 x Nike Air Yeezy sneakers and they are creating a buzz. These tribute sneakers channel the first Yeezy colorway in black and pink using a mix of suede and patent leather and clear jelly sole.

I personally don't wear Force's. They make my feet look too big, but these are kinda alright. What do you think?

Guess I Wasn't Ready

So anyone who knows me knows I'm a Trey Songz fan. I have every album. I think he makes good solid R&B and there aren't many artists out now that have cds that I can listen straight through without skipping. I had been looking forward to Trey's third album "Ready" coming out, especially after the release of his mixtape "Anticipation" that had many a boxspring squeaking track including my fave "Scratchin' Me Up" and the heartfelt "Your Side of the Bed".

So color me shocked and surprised when I finally get to listen to "Ready" and it fell flat to me. I listened and listened waiting for just one song to jump out at me and make me say "That's my Jam". I even turned up it and listened a second time. Nothing. Outside of "Neighbors Know My Name" it was just ok to me, nothing to write home about. Also, I was terribly irritated to hear "Succesful" Feat. Drake AGAIN! I expected a lot more out of Trey Songz given the vocal growth he's shown over the years. I hope his next studio release turns out better.

"Ready" I dub thee mediocre. You get 2 of 4 dictionaries from Speak English
