Happy Friday!!

So sorry, y'all!

It hasn't been the best week for posting. I almost didn't feel I had time to breathe since last Friday. Yikes!

Anyway, because I've seen so many cool things over the week, but had not a minute to write about them, here's a little Friday compilation of what's on my cool radar instead.


1. Courtney Crawford shoes. This boy can make heels, goddamit. He launched his own collection -- after interning at Eugenia Kim -- in 2006 and has since designed collections or the likes of Missoni. It doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes, either. Crawford walked the runway for Karl two years ago and is a pet favorite of Andre Leon Talley.








2. These photos from skate boarder-turned-photographer Lia Halloran are beautiful. Halloran did a tour skateboarding through some of Los Angeles' skate parks at night, eventually turning herself into white blurs of light following her movements at the development stage of her shots. If you're in New York, you can check out her exhibition at the DCKT Contemporary on the Bowery.






3. Banksy may have been discovered. And his name just might be Robin Gunningham. Is this for real?






4. TOMS Shoes are coming to a local Whole Foods near you. The collection is vegan, and of course, Mycoskie will make good on his promise that every TOMS sold is one TOMS donated to a Third World child in need of shoes.






5. This music video for Devendra Banhart's song "Carmensita" is my new favorite. It's based on old school Bollywood cinematic style, and his real-life girlfriend Natalie Portman makes an appearance as a princess. The dancing is way cute, too.






6. Oak in New York has some amazing pieces for fall. I need to own this black square hood tee from Complex Geometries.






7. Yesterday I discovered my signature aviator sunnies were broken. Thankfully, it's just one of the clear nose bridges that fell off, so it's easily fixable. Then I discovered Republica sunglasses and forgot all about my aviators.







8. It's a Tokyo Flash watch for me or bust. These things are so effin' cool, I can't stand it. You will definitely need instructions on how to read time with these babies on your wrist, since some styles have the numbers in Japanese characters. If you can't follow technical instructions, at least your wrist will still look rad. If you live in town, stop by El Kartel on Robson to check 'em out.






9. Jenks super spoiled me with a little pressie this week in the form of these badass Creative Recreation Galow Hi sneaks, but replace the red with bright pink. Thank you thank you thank you i love them!






10. Happy happy birthday to my BGF Khaleel!! Here's to a celebrating that and VRBF!!
