Danielle is a bad-ass chick. The first time I met her was at a Wu-Tang party with a 40oz. in her hand singing the words to C.R.E.A.M. She knows the store inside and out and has an amazing style that’s always changing. She’s the first one off the rope swing and the first one to tell you that those shoes don’t go with those pants.

By now, you might be familiar with brothers Chris and Kirk Bray, founders of Billykirk leather goods. So it wouldn’t be too surprising when those two masters of handmade goods decided to dive into other materials such as woven canvas and different leathers to bring you a very similar product for a fraction of the price. Thus you have the pure-bread offspring: The Brothers Bray & Co. Click for the continuation.

Tony from RVA Magazine invited me out to come through the weekly Tuesday night party, RVALUTION, so Patty Sweet Face and I went to check it out. Honestly, I haven’t been out that late on a Tuesday night since Broken Beat Lounge at Richie’s, so I had to motivate a little bit. “Party” can’t describe what goes on every week at The Hat Factory. It’s a part-carni/Buzz/frat party/Barnum & Bailey/sex convention/birthday party/Spring Break/candy raver/Anime/burlesque blowout that Richmond promoters have been striving for for years. Well, it’s finally come to fruition. Residents DJs JReinhold (PLF) and Doddie (Audio Ammo) killed it along with DJ vs. Wild (Audio Ammo) and Cobra Krames (Cobra Kai NYC). Be sure to roll up mad early, cause we got there at 10:30 PM and the line went from the Hat Factory to Cary St.! It’ll be worth the wait!

First off, I’m a male, not a female. However, if I were a female and were looking for that perfect pant for bike rides, cooler nights, and overall “go-with-anything” pant for the summer, these are definitely what I’d pick. The Houligan Cargo pants by J Brand.
They are cut right above the ankle, awesome for jumping rocks along the river, high-kicking boys and riding your bike through a breezy neighborhood. They have awesome, low-profile cargo pockets, thus you don’t have to carry a damn purse around with you everywhere with all your shit inside. Keys, wallet, condom and cell phone can all go in the pockets, leaving you with a hands-free summer. And the fit looks awesome. You can get them here.

On our last buying trip to LA we decided that we should get out and do some shopping for ourselves. We struck up conversation with a guy named Brandon in a cute store where we were trying on some really sweet clothes…Turns out he was the rep for a line called As Is – and ALL the clothes we’d picked to try on were from his line. He took us into the back room, where we got to meet the designer (a super cool girl from Japan) and check out the collection.
We fell in love immediately. Shop our finds here.

We discovered WHERE during our last trip to the UK. Besides the amazing design, the companies ethics and fundamentals as a whole are what really attracted us to them. The pieces are hand made from very small producers and artisan communities around the globe. Everyone involved in the entire process of each piece receives a fair wage and is treated with the upmost respect, the way things should be. Designer Laura Villasenin is responsible for the footwear’s unique look. Laura graduated from London’s renowned school, Cordwainers, with a first class design degree in Product Design and development in the fashion industry. Click for the continuation.

It’s a staple in any timeless collection that will withstand the changes in styles throughout the years, it’s a guaranteed hit. Look for details like leather buttons, pockets and unique fabrics.
