Artist Joseph Aloi — also known as JK5 —teamed with Timex on a limited release watch for Barney’s Co-Op. Working within the confines of a small, octagonal face JK5 fluidly adorned the timepiece with symmetrical linework and vibrant color choices. Though fairly cryptic, the glyph-like etchings read “JK5″ and “Barneys,” horizontally across the top. Turned sideways the watch face reads, “Illuminate,” and the numbers one to nine. On the bottom it says, “Love, Light, Create.” The functional labeling (i.e. “start”) is slightly clearer in a contrasting color. Available this Holiday, exclusively at Barney’s Co-Op.

Fat Joe is partnering with K-Mart and Sears for an affordable line of sneakers.
Due to our crazy bad economy Joe brainstormed the project with NBA Knicks star Al Harrington in response to the severe economic recession currently inflicting Americans. Joe says, “I wanted my sneaker to be something the kids could actually afford. Due to these hard economic times, a lot of kids cannot afford $200 sneakers. So kids can buy them themselves. They don’t even have to worry about their mom or pops buying them for $34.99.” allhiphop.com

Especially the hats this season look interesting, coming in different materials, including nylon and leather. The first release will include denim, t-shirts, caps and more.

Here's a pretty hot new invention, hands free to party.
Sony recently announced the Party-shot personal photographer – “an innovative camera dock that pans 360 degrees and tilts 24 degrees, automatically detects faces, adjusts composition and takes photos for you.” Using the camera’s BIONZ image processor with its Face Detection and Smile Shutter, the Party-shot takes photos all by itself.

The first pieces from the Alife Fall 2009 Footwear Collection start getting into stores. The drop includes the Shell Toe, Chuck, Everbody Mono, Everbody High and the Everybody Hi-Lite. So far the collection seems to be a little more subtle than previous ones and they continue to add quality to their footwear. The sneakers come in premium leathers with nice color accents. We especially like the use of suede on the tongue, contrasting the rest of the uppers.
The first Alife Fall 2009 Sneakers are now available from Tobi.

Available in bitter chocolate, with tonal stitching (pictured) or brown, with contrast white stitching and laces.

I just had to pick up this Black embossed Louis Vuitton Bag. New from the 2009 Fall/Winter collection. I think this is one of there most classic pieces that released this season. I love LV pieces on the fact that they are made to last, and the more wear and tear the better it looks. Not the most affordable but if you can spring for it this season this one would be the one to get.

CUPCAKES
I’ve always loved cupcakes because of the carefree feeling it brings, but when I’ve tasted miniature cupcakes - baked by Melissa my cupcake world has change… literally! These quarter-sized cupcakes are super delicious… ooey-gooey little explosion that makes you crave for more. I’m kind-of late in this bandwagon but it’s just I hate waiting in lines no matter what, I just don’t think it’s worth standing in line like a beggar but last week was my day; I pass that little-secret window and it was line-free!
So if you’re ever down in Soho, please do yourselves a favor and treat yourselves, live a little and be carefree for once and savor every mini-bite!
