    All you New Yorkers get your Sneaks Skinned here

    Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

    I love , gym shoes, tinny shoes what ever you want to call them or how ever you want to spell them for that matter…But we came across this up and coming sneaker skin designer Melissa Cook a while back and were completely blown away by the work that she was and is currently doing.

    If your not familiar, sneaker skinning is when an artist takes a plain normally white pair of sneaks which acts as the his/her canvas and creates an original piece of artwork right on the shoe. Most designers use the very popular Air Force One’s to do this.

    Now I don’t have to tell you how many celebrities rock these fashionable kicks…but here is the thing you don’t have to be a rapper or a movie star to get your very own pair of kicks. This very young designer has customers all over the world from Tokyo, San Diego, Cali, Miami and Australia.

    Melissa will also be featured in the following magazines grahamphisher and deve8magazine in the very near future. She has also just recently broaden her services to include designing myspace web pages and T-Shirts.

    So for all you New Yorkers out there who don’t have your drop Melissa an email and get in line.

    You can get in touch with Melissa @ www.sneakerskins.com or visit her my space page here http://www.myspace.com/blaqueartz.

    Baggage, we all have it…why not look good carrying it???

    Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

    Whether you’re planning your next vacay, preparing to go back to school, looking for the perfect tote, or chic evening bag - boy do I have a couple of places for you to check out! These places are diamonds in the rough in this world wide world of the web as you can’t buy on-line so you actually have to put at least two of your god given senses to use, you might remember them…touch and smell??? Just something that went away when we started pointing and clicking on our purchases.

    Anyway…Big Bag and The , in Manhattan/Greenwich Village, are great places to get your baggage fix.

    These mid-priced shops carry tons of & cases that are designed in leather, and fabrics in basic grays and blacks to playful hues, strips and dots. No matter what color pallet or size you fancy, you are sure to find what you’re looking for with brands like Mandarina Duck, Hobo International, Eagle Creek, Knomo, Timbuk2, Kipling, Orla Kiely and much, much more. Both places have friendly, knowledge able staff that make you feel right at home. Trust me, you can spend hours in bag heaven! Check ‘em out!

    Save $5 @ Whole Foods

    Monday, October 20th, 2008

    My wife and I love this store but let’s be honest it is not the cheapest joint in town but eating healthly rarely is. Most of these stores have a hot bar full of goodies to warm you up as the tempurature drops.

    But these offers are a clear sign that the big grocery store chains are concerned about the current economic situation also.

    I wont ramble to much on this one as it speaks for itself plus I have 50 other things I am trying to do as well.
