I drove for 2 hours today and listened to 808 and Heartbreaks 4 times I think. The album is truly incredible.

My Thoughts

The new sustainably sourced and delightfully wooden Stussy shop in Vancouver designed by Willo Perron of Eskimo Design, photographed by André Pinces and owned by Matt George.

The store looks incredible! I can’t ait to see it on my next BC trip.

Dwell interviews Matt about the shop

“We started the project eight months ago,” George tells me.  “We followed the wood from natural new growth forest to store fixture.”  Though Eskimo Design put the whole place together, George is most apt to rhapsodize about the eco-friendly elements of his new retail space: “Anybody we spoke to from the mill workers to the lumberjacks had very similar strong ideas on the importance of instilling sustainability in the minds and hearts of consumers at all levels. They loved the idea of showing the public what goes into furniture. Forest to final product. Should make everyone think about how precious our forests are and how they need to taken care of.  This project only used local made and milled products that had to travel less than 120 kms to their final resting place. Beyond this we made sure the farming process where the tress where being cut from was healthy, non-destructive to the surrounding environment and with a company that has a positive reputation.”

Ridin’ – Music Video from Taylor Engel on Vimeo.

These kids from South Carolina really impressed me with this video. It cost them $42 to make and they shot it in 1 take. I know about 1 take Hov but what about a 1 take Hype? Ok I’m going off topic… Check out the video and please leave your feedback!

The song is pretty fresh and I’m inspired by their drive and ambition.
Enjoy!

“Let the Mc Search until I reach 3rd bass”.

President elect Obama watch! This watch is a 1 of some.

“When he was a Senator from Illinois, the first black American President Barack Obama once wore a private label watch: JGC6500 Chronograph Style Men’s Watch.
It’s a specially designed timepiece manufactured by Jorg Gray for the Secret Service employee’s store.

Secret Service Store is managed by United States Secret Service Employee Recreation Association (ERA). All the profit from the store goes to charity supported by the ERA. The watch is available for US $210.00 but the store is not open for the public.”

“Although you may find the same series of Jorg Gray JGC6500 Chronograph on Logomark, you won’t have the US Secret Service Logo on the dial like the one on Obama’s Watch. One of the agents guarding Obama gave him the watch as a gift.

That’s what makes the US Secret Service JGC 6500 Chronograph become very special and rare.”

We all know that CDG collaborated with H&M for a collection. Some of you even waited in line for hours to get a piece from the collection. Here you have the vulcanized shoes they produced. They look like Converse of course but are still very cool.

As guys we never carry compact mirrors for a number or reasons (maybe some guys do) but on those rare occasions when you need one you always hope your girl has one on her. “Hey baby, you got a mirror? I feel something growing on my face!  its a zit silly” I love a girl with nice accessories, this Marc Jacob mirror is really heartless.
