FB Holiday Sale 2008.jpg

I know this recession sucks for everyone but if there is an upside to be had it's that some of my favorite brands are having sales.  Case in point, Frankie B. is having a Holiday Sale next friday December 5th at their warehouse in downtown LA.  I'm ditching school early and buying up some jeans... see you there.

On Saturday I went over to the new Alternative store on Cahuenga to check it out (Cahuenga between Sunset and Hollywood).  Alternative Apparel t-shirts and comfortables are made of some of the best fabrics ever so I was pretty excited to check out their new store that was opening later in the afternoon.

The design is rough and raw very New York and was filled with unexpected finds. The store carries Toms Shoes (on my list of favorites they're comfortable and by giving a pair to a child in need was my original hook I continue to buy them and know my money goes further than just my own feet).

Also there were my favorite jeans DITTOS a bit of an obsession, Dittos were brought back by Frankie B. designer Daniella Clarke.  I love the high wasted 70's style and they are always my go to jean to wear with vintage tops (I have a remarkable collection of Mary Tyler Moore tops)  or just a t-shirt.  Dittos are amazing I recently found a vintage Dittos jumpsuit at Buffalo Exchange that I wear all the time.  See the whole line at www.dittosbrand.com it's inspiring.

Nike Sportswear has partnered with New York street smart label Married To The Mob to re-interpret the sporting icon's tennis shoe to create more grown up kicks that appeal to the fashion savvy girl who wants to rock some tennis shoes with her skinnies.  Married To The Mob founder and all around rad chick Leah McSweeney is behind MTTM's streetwise and fashion forward look.  The Nike Dunk Hi is a testament to the self-expression of it's co-creator and is made of ecru boucle fabric with contrasting black patent leather and gold accents which accentuate the Nike Dunk silhoutte.  Not to be outdone Nike and McSweeney thru a party last week in NYC (sadness I couldn't go) with insanely cool Sky Nellor as DJ.  MTTM is a brand that has global appeal previously collaborating with Reebok and french boutique Colette on the kiss splattered shoe that sold out in record time.  Leah definitely lives up to her motto of "Most Official Bitches" and the shoes are definitely on my top 5 Wish List.
