Finally!!! I got my NIke+ Fuel Band! After all, I am only like Nike’s illegitimate daughter from the hood and I actually do count calories like a high school girl with an eating disorder  (don’t ask, having an App for anything makes me want to keep track of everything!). I’ve been stoked on this gadget since they first unveiled it and now I have one of these bad boys in my hand, thanks to Julien, Heron and the Nike Family. If you don’t know what it is…check it out:

I miss my French babes, they know style and they know fun. I’m so stoked on their brand Pigalle and it seems everyone else is also. Years later, I finally get some gear…
…
Special thanks to Craig Darryl Arthur for keeping me laced in some fresh threads, straight from London!
Check out their other pieces. B-SIDE BY WALE has some really fresh pieces. They need to just keep their American Sister laced 24/7!

Since I haven’t had a sufficient enough camera to shoot my “SPECIAL DELIVERY” posts, I’ve been stockpiling so many items that my work space looks like a hoarders dream come true.
Finally, here is some stuff that some awesome people have sent me!
++++++++++
Special Thanks to ANIMAL and SKINNY for sending over a massive package. This is only half of what they actually sent me!
++++++++++
Special Thanks to BROCK FETCH for sending these goodies over! This brought me back to my angsty teenage years when I’d read skate magazines…
VLADIMIR seems to like it a lot…
++++++++++
Special Thanks to PETER JAMES LEE for handing me these goodies during my last LA visit.

Special thanks to Julie at Formula PR for sending these bad boys over to me. Anyone who has an iPhone has dreaded that moment when you continue checking your phone, despite knowing that your battery is draining to its death. Thank goodness for Mophie! It’s a case that protects your phone AND it charges it! Yes, you heard that right. It’s a nicely concealed battery pack that you can turn on when you need the charge.
They retail for $99.95 which is pricey, but for those of you (like me) who are constantly on your phone and never have a charger…
this is a great back up. It’s like having a spare battery if Apple would ever bestow that gift on us.
*When you need to see where your battery is at, you press the button and the lights illuminate to let you know how full or empty your pack is…
AND they make an external battery that clips to your keys for a super convenient battery pack! I love it!!!
These cuties retail for $34.95

I never really do tech reviews so I’ll just give it TWO SNAPS because as soon as I put the case on my phone it started charging at the same speed it would if it was charging from an outlet. It’s super light weight, sleek and comes in many different colors to choose from. Even the Juice Pack Reserve is compact and light as a feather.
++++++++++
Special thanks to Wil Whitney for blessing me with a super fancy pair of the Cole Haan LunarGrands. How genius…a Lunar bottom on an Oxford Wingtip! The style of a dress shoe with the comfort of a sneaker! Perfection!

Last week the ladies of WAH NAILS came to New York City for a London takeover. They had a pop-up shop and many parties. I was fortunate enough to get my nails did!
DOWNTOWN.

Thanks SHAR!!!
I can’t stress how happy I am to finally have my new camera…the Canon G12.
I received so many great goodies in the past 2 months, that I can finally properly blog them! Check out some of the latest and greatest from Supreme that I got at the beginning of April.
I asked ELLE CLAY to shoot some images of me in them, in a theme I refer to as…

My homie Curtis Kulig sent me a fun package of goodies! Including one of his CMYK Prints personalized to me and a batch of stickers and pins. Guess what is so amazing about all of this?! His webstore LOVEMEISHERE has just opened and you can get yours too!
++++++++++
So stoked on this delivery of Hennessy, with a limited edition design by the homie Futura AND a pair of Converse that he hand painted! Henny stays on their commitment to fusing their brand with art and culture! I love it.

Special thanks to the family ANGELO & JAMES JEBBIA for always hooking up their sister! I got these pieces ahead of the game, which always calls for a mini shoot.
SUPREME has not only created the template for other brands, but it has also set the tone for how a brand should do proper collaborations. The proof is in their latest Levi’s Collaboration, which is a perfect blend of classic workwear pieces mixed with funky details. If the white denim jacket and leopard pile lining is too much, they have simpler pieces in the form of raw denim and polka-dot snap Western shirts.
++++++++++
Peep the details!

Vladimir  approves of it! That’s all that matters…
Oh snap. Got some new SUPREME gear and although I hate Fall and Winter (yes, hate is a strong word – but that’s how I feel) these pieces will make the colder weather a litte bit cozier! Some of this stuff is available and some of it isn’t just yet…
Check out the latest editions of FRANK 151. Our friend 13TH WITNESS got a chance to takeover an issue and asked his friends to contribute photography…and I was one of them. I submitted some select and dear Polaroids that I took over the years. Pick it up if you can!
Portrait of me taken by 13TH WITNESS himself! How fitting!
I am very fortunate to have wonderful people sending me awesome thangs.
I was especially stoked to get a package from STRAY RATS (who my friends JOSH MADDEN and EIKNARF frequently tell me about)! This independent brand is the brainchild of JULIAN CONSUEGRA’S.
Not only does this brand have a skate/hardcore/punk aesthetic which is classic and extremely nostalgic for me, there is also an added “personal touch” with every package! For every order placed and eventually shipped, JULIAN gives the customer a one of a kind drawing on the back of the package!!! My brain just exploded. I love that. I miss the old days of mixtapes and snail mail, where someone could really touch you through a drawing or simply by the stroke of their own handwriting (good or bad).
From top L to R: The Black Jesus Tee $28, Unavailable Online, Unavailaible Online, Yuth Beanie,  The Rodenticide Tee $28
JULIAN!!! You rule!!! I love love love this!!!

The next couple of pieces come from my darling friends overseas, B-SIDE BY WALE! Â They just opened a shop in LONDON and if you’re in the area, check them out and give them a hug for me!
Watch a video from their store opening here:

My friends HERON JOHNSON and VIRGIL ABLOH have banded together to make the collective known as BEEN TRILL and  just like MasterCard – they are everywhere you want to be! They happen to be some of the most fun-loving folks who know how to have a sick time! I’m stoked I finally got some tees.
Finding the right stationary and notepads is extremely important to me. I think it should always represent your taste and with so many run of the mill stationary companies, it’s hard to find something simple and creative. Cue CANVAS SOCIETY and their signature sun-faded, sustainable products and prepared to be wooed.
I got one that was personalized! Thanks Noah!
Thanks for the pen also, Vladdy likes it.
+++++++++++++++++++++
Since the holidays are coming up, why not treat yourself to some classy stationary – OR get it for someone you care about. Check out their, soon to be released, JACK SPADE collaboration.
Canvas Society for Jack Spade Holiday 2012
Few tools remain as pure and essential as the pad and the pen. Paper and ink. They have combined to create master pieces; as classic in their partnership as in their desire to create.

These fine notebooks have been produced completely in New York City from sustainable materials. Simple in their design and use. And ready to capture your thoughts, ideas, and doodles.

Let the paper be your canvas.
I’ve received such amazing goodies from my friends. First up is my DRAGONFLY CAP from GYPSY SPORT! They are a new brand to satisfy all your masculine, high fashion, street styled accessories! Originally designed for Men, this line is easily workable for the ladies!
++++++++++++++++++++
This one came over the Summer, but got misplaced during a move. I was especially stoked to find that my friends over at BREAD & BUTTER did a collection with BOY LONDON and they sent me a couple of goodies! Not only that, MAYRA from BB sent a sweet note with a Press Pass as a welcome to attend the major trades how. I need to go!
Thanks so much Mayra!
++++++++++++++++++++
Opening Ceremony was kind enough not only to gift me with a purple sweater and a limited edition t-shirt from their 10 Year Anniversary Party that Oscar and I was apart of – but, they also presented me with a VIP card for all my future purchases! I am a lucky gal!
Thanks so much JACKY! You know the way straight to a girls heart!
Looks like Vladimir liked it too…
++++++++++++++++++++
Friend and filmmaker, LEVI MAESTRO, launched his brand BECOMB. Check out his first piece, the INFINITY TIME PIECE with a gold face and sting ray band. I love the packaging and the concept.
Yeah, I think Vladimir liked this one also…
