Change of Schedule

Loyal Freshmen and Freshwomen,

First, I would like to thank everyone for reading Freshies as I put a great deal of myself into this blog. I have acquired full-time employment and will thus have to change the schedule as to when I update this fine social gathering place. I will now be updating Freshies on Saturday and Sunday's mostly with some weekday posts sneaking in there every once and a while. I urge you to continue reading as Freshies will now become a week in review and will sum up the freshest ingredients on the internet during the week. 

Thank You,


Freshies

Trippy

I love this shit. Psychology of perception is crazy shit and I just love that way your brain works and can totally fuck with your mind. See more here and here.

BBC Gold Rucksack

Damn! How gold can you go? This rucksack has the same basic pattern as the LV rucksack. The BBC comes with the diamond monogram and some serious swag. Get it here.

Perfect Valentine Present

How appropriate for Friday the 13th. Liz McGrath has created the perfect Valentine's Day present, well it depends on what you define as perfect. Now, I wouldn't buy this for my significant other, but there are a couple that I would buy for myself as art. She has created these two 4-inch butcher knives especially for Valentine's Day. They are only $25 and you can get them here. Each one is hand painted and signed by Liz McGrath herself. They are only available in February so you better hurry up.

Comme De Garcons

Comme De Garcons comes out with two new pairs of tennis sneakers for the Spring/Summer 2009. They feature canvas and, the dope one, has black leather and has a wing-tip pattern. They are available at Colette.

Lil Wayne Interview

I love it how he tries to play off that he only smokes for medicinal purposes, but then says that "he is a rapper and he loves to smoke." Classic interview. Enjoy.

HeyDay Summer/Fall 09

I came across this video on HighSnobiety and I knew I had to post it. The style of shoe Heyday is coming out with this year is really refreshing. The Hi-tops with the wrap around strap, some nice boots, an ankle shoe, and a real fresh pair of slipper/shoes that are perfect for the summer. You don't need to watch anything past the 3 minute mark cause it just shows a pic of their signature shoe.

Oakley Frogskin Limited Edition

They just keep em coming over at Oakley. This has been a huge year for the Frogskins. These limited edition frogs come with an extra pair of legs in a coordinating color for only $128 over at Oakley. As usual they are only available for a limited time only. So you better hurry up.

David Had Some Fun at The Dentist

You gotta check this out. Man this kid is going to be a wreck when he grows up. Gotta thank my bud over at The Gettin Place for this video. His blog is a great medium on sports, music, and all things good. Check it out here.

Y-3 Honji Hi



Really like these kicks. Y-3 Honji Hi patten leathers with padded and perforated stripes, toe, and a padded footbed. Hi gloss patten leather and white colorway with the Y-3 logo on the back. Available at Oak.
In such woeful economic times we could all be in the hunt for a job soon, hopefully not, but if you are here are a couple of things to remember. There are some good tips here that I would not have thought of such as lace up shoes and some rules I tend to break. For my last interview I had some zip-up black ankle boots and a striped shirt on, but I still landed the gig. My one rule is that you should dress for the job you are interviewing for and make sure you feel good in what you are wearing, confidence tends to rub off. I say go white shirt for the sales jobs, lawyers, etc... and a little more colorful for those creative jobs such as designer, fashion or graphic. 

BBlessing Harrington Jacket

BBlessing has come out with this great reversible piece that is perfect for one of the chilly Spring days. It is also waterproof which adds to its Spring appeal. Shown here is the battleship-grey/brown or 'current' micro-houndsooth. Check out there collection here.

Postalco

Postalco is coming out with a collaboration with Opening Ceremony creating notebooks and wallets featuring japanese inspired traditional geometric patterns. They come in a variety of colors and are available at Opening Ceremony shops in NY and LA, which is a bummer since I am not in either. The series contains a travel wallet, notebook, and a business card holder. Find out more here.

Kanye West Glow in the Dark Book

Kanye West will be releasing a book that is detailing his Glow In The Dark tour. If you didn't get to see this I suggest that you take it upon your self to by this book. I had the opportunity to view this tour myself and it was unreal, every performance was top notch, top notch. Back to the book, it will contain video performances of the tour as well as a USB of previously unreleased songs and a interview with Spike Jonze. The book will retail for $50 in October.
