LIN Tee for the Ladies


Ready to get on the Jeremy Lin bandwagon?  The NBA is making sure the ladies (-coughs- GROUPIES) can be outfitted in some fly Knicks/Linsanity gear.  The V-neck soft cotton tee looks pretty damn comfy. I'm happy for Jeremy Lin and his meteoric rise to the top of the NBA.   Jeremy Lin will definitely be one of the most talked about stories come All-Star weekend and I am sure the groupies are scrambling to figure out how they will fit him into their rotation. 


SEE WHAT I MEAN!??!!

Simple Smiles by Katherine Phan





It always gives me great pleasure to feature the work of individuals I know personally.  I love surrounding myself with talented individuals and Toronto based designer Katherine (Kathy) Phan is one of those people taking her talent and putting it to good use. 



Kathy was recently featured on Martha Stewart's 'Doer Of The Week' an initiative that recognizes young and vibrant entrepreneurs turning their crafts into a business.  Kathy focuses primarily on dope knit pieces that are perfect for the winter climate, chunky and oozing warmth, the pieces are definite must-haves.  Not to mention my Bahamian solider Nick is featured in some of the ads, the perks of being the boyfriend of a designer lol.   Kathy too is pictured modeling some of her very popular pieces.  Anyway if you are interested in any of Kathy's pieces and seeing some of the new items she's going to be adding to the collection make sure to follow her on Twitter or Like her page on Facebook!!

To purchase any Simple Smile's pieces make sure to visit her online store over on Etsy!

For the Ladies and Gents: Rebus Life - Lazy Pants



I have no idea how these pants achieve such an effortlessly comfortable, easy breezy type of vibe.  You know that cold winter day, in a bed covered in freshly laundered sheets and duvets that smell of Bounce sheets and payday, snuggled with your significant other watching a romantic comedy?  Yeah that's what these sweatpants remind me of.  I wanna cuddle my lady in them, Toronto based Rebus Clothing had to have crafted these of cotton picked from the Garden of Eden.    Oh and in even better news these pants are available for guys too!! WOOT! 

They retail for about $80.

David Guetta ft Nicki Minaj - Turn Me On





Meet Nicki Frankenstein, a creation of mega DJ/producer David Guetta, the video finds a carefully constructed Nicki refusing to be confined to the normal life of a cyborg.  I see several parallels here, the most glaring being Nicki's refusal to remain strictly Hip Hop.  The Nicki that burst onto the scene with her street DVD features has been replace by a diverse artist intent on cementing her place in a very fickle industry.  Kudos to Nicki for constantly expanding her horizons.  

P.S. David Guetta is having a HELLUVA year...
