I learned how to tie a bowtie the other day and I felt so accomplished! I’m sure not many other women have even considered learning how to do it, but it’s a lot more tedious than I thought it would be–finding the right size, shape etc.. It really made me pay attention to men’s neckwear and how crucial it is in relation to the outfit. SO, I was really excited to see the latest spread of Drake in GQ, which features him demonstrating how to measure neckties and button downs. I love seeing a man dress like … a man !
Popular brand Lacoste works my nerves. I can’t stand overly saturated brands (like Polo Ralph Lauren) and everyone’s uncanny desire to purchase their clothes–wanting quantity instead of individualistic quality. But I must say, the lookbook for Lacoste Red goes in. The vivid colors are used brilliantly and dare I say there are a few articles I am interested in.
If you are new to this MESH. thing, first let me say welcome.
Second, what took you so long?

I’m getting tired of backpacks.
Well, maybe I’m just getting tired of the one I have. It’s actually a really nice piece, purchased it last year and is very durable and made with fashionability in mind. But, it’s still not the one. We’re in college, and nine times out of ten, you’re going to need a bag that combines utility with–looks.
I’m trying to become a bit more efficient so that I don’t carry bags at all times. So I make sure I read all materials, chapters, before class so I don’t have to carry books around campus all day, I have a legal pad for various different subjects as opposed to binders and spiral notebooks to save space [and extra baggage], and keep all miscellaneous items needed for class [worksheets, handouts, syllabi, etc.] inside my handy dandy HU portfolio.
The point of this all being, I’m trying to lessen my daily load of “carryons” around campus; trying to lessen the need for a backpack. [I really think they bring down the quality of a look sometimes--never a good thing]. That being said, I think I’ve found a great alternative with Dutch travel company, Travelteq’s latest offering: the Trash laptop bag.
This bag is just pretty amazing.
Made out of 100% Italian Leather. Originally a travel bag, the Trash is great for everyday use. There’s a shock resistant compartment for your laptop [15 inch max.], as well as areas for your phone, sunglasses, papers, etc. Did I mention it was handmade 100% Italian Leather?
The price is going to be a bit more than you’d pay for a backpack, but you all know I don’t post things too expensive unless I see a possibility for sustained longevity. This bag would last for a long time, which inevitably makes it worth it… and like I said, it’s Italian leather! The bag is available in a cognac and black colorway at the moment, but I believe green and yellow versions are on the way.
I was trying to come up with something to say [insert witty remark here]. Something, to describe that which is the Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection by Dutch design duo, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren. [Nothing {blank stare}]. But, you know, sometimes it’s just better to just shut up and watch.
Shhh!!
They even had Roisin Murphy perform!

One word generates billions of dollars, is one of the sincerest forms of self-expression, and is quickly becoming important to every American.
Fashion does what so many things can’t. It inspires, it demands, it sells, it offends, and it awes. So let’s be awed by a couple of things in fashion.
First this incredible ad by Alexander McQueen featuring those oddly yet sickeningly innovative shoes of his.

Christian Schoeler is a German artist who has recently teamed together with Louis Vuitton to produce a series of hand-painted leather bags. The bags are inspired by 19th Century paintings are a great pieces of artistry and product. Only a few designer bags excite me, and these have surely been added to the list.

We all know the magnitude of the events currently happening in Haiti. It’s like a horrible flashback to 2004’s Tsunami or 2005’s Hurricane Katrina (which effected me personally). The sad reality of the matter is that the state of Haiti is ravaged by not only the natural disaster but also by previous decades of poverty. UNDRCRWN has made a T-Shirt to benefit the relief efforts. The shirts only cost $20.00 and all proceeds go to Wyclef’s organization YELE Haiti. With everyone receiving refund checks and such, I think it would be cool to spend just $20 bucks helping someone else in need. I most likely will be purchasing one myself.

Do what you can. If you can’t donate monetarily, shoot up positive vibes and your prayers to the people of Haiti. Cherish each moment you have and value each blessing that is bestowed upon you. Here’s to you Haiti.
The Bread & Butter Tradeshow is held as a international trade fair for selected brands.

My roommate Tallas has a puppy named Burberry (He’s amazing). So I am mostly posting this because I have a thing for dogs and will be getting my own in 2 weeks (His name will be Bentley). I also have this thing for jeans. I think I am getting close to having over 30 pairs (Yea, I know) and my collection continues to grow. So the funky combination of denim and dogs below speaks to me.
Levi’s and Cram Jam Chest have come together to craft this interesting pooch. It’s a denim dog and I think it is pretty cool. Although not available for purchase in the United States, give the cool dog a view.
Wouldn’t exactly want to pet it though.
