Cool Finds Of The Day.

The “Workerbilly” Shoes.

These are definitely a pair of shoes I want to flash off in spring of next year. The design and composition of their structure is well done.

Now “Lacoste” is not my favorite pair of designers but these pair of shoes (The Europa’s) has really caught my attention. I think I might have to flash these guys in the summer time.

Considering that they’re one of my favorite bands, I became extremely excited to know that their EP (This Is War) was releasing earlier this week. I went out, purchased a copy for myself and took a listen on my way home. “This is War”  equals a brilliant piece of work. There is nothing like hearing instruments on a record and the construction of beats added. Front man Jared Leto, justifies every track with his raw and stouthearted voice. Jared manages to shear affection and emotions that bleed on the title record: This Is War, as well as other tracks: Stranger In A Strange Land & Vox Populi. The entire EP is a serious body of work and really showcases the struggles and hardship this band went through to release this album. From beginning to end I enjoyed this record and I know all of you will as well. “This Is War” is a extraordinary must have. Below is their music video for the Track “Kings & Queens”. My review of the video can be read Here.

The group consisting of frontman Jared Leto, his brother Shannon Leto, and Tomislav Miličević, sat down with Nylon TV for a little interview where they discussed their record and the band.

Now in other news, Jared Leto took the Cover of “Nylon Guys” for their January 2010 issue.

Here are some photos of Nylon guys issuse.

David LaChapelle = Brilliance.

What more can I say about famed Photographer & music video Director “David LaChapelle”, He continues to out do himself time and time again. Gathering inspiration from another famed Artist “Andy Warhol” David successfully completed a shoot for the hit car manufacture “Maybach” on their “Zeppelin line”. The photos and art speak for themselves.

This is my favorite photo. There is a huge amount of story that keeps this one picture enjoyable. I love it.

I became A huge fan of David’s work ever since he directed one of my favorite Artist’s”Christina Aguilera’s” Dirrty music video back in 2002.

Rad Finds.

Alright, I dig fashion and have an eye for cool things and this winter I was thinking boots are definitely a must have. Two boots that  have really caught my eye are the “rehacer x ANOUTCOMMUNE” boots and the “Steve Madden” “Rangyr boots”.

Now, I know its winter in NYC, but not everywhere of the US or even the world experiences harsh cold weather and no sun to use sunglasses. I plan on going to Hawaii next year Feb 2010 and I came across these sick “Ray-Ban” sun glasses. Now Ray-Ban was never a first choice when it came to wearing them as a fashion glass but this design says something else.

These finds are great and I can’t wait to fix up.

“daraGoy” T-Shirts Anyone?

“daraGoy” or “Expensive” – What ever way you would like to call it, is a Russian brand that is available at the Rogan Store in NYC. These T-shirts are painted with multiple designs and are very unique. I dig these shirts and even though its pretty clear its sweater season, wearing a cool “T” doesn’t hurt from time to time.

Just pure freshness. You can contact Rogan Store Here.
