The Penguin Pops Up in NYC

Original Penguin has opened a 'pop up' store available now thru Dec. 31, 09 in SoHo. 103 Greene Street (bet. Spring St. & Prince St.) NY, NY 10012 to be exact.

Original Penguin's been around a looong time (c.1950's) and the clothes kinda reflect that in a cool, book-wormy, computer geek sorta way- Perfect for the classic Fall & Winter NYC look. Ex: Adam Brody (Seth from the OC) is a fan... that kinda look.

Seeing as how I usually order their super soft, comfy sweaters and the occasional bubble skirt that looks like wrapping paper (MISTAKE!) on-line, I am really excited about this. Im definitely heading there to scoop a few new (incredibly well made, luxurious) cardigans & to try on some of their pants & fitted tees so i wont be as surprised when I get them as I was with the effin skirt...










I'll stop raving about these quality sweaters now because I'm pretty sure you get the picture. And if you wanna be a part of the 'official' opening, here's the invite.
Go for superior sweaters, stay for the free Blue Moon.

C'est FaFi!!!

Fafi, the French graffiti artist whose collaborated with errrr'1 from MAC to Le Sportsac and even on Lily Allen's "Oh My God" video, is at it again, teaming with upcoming NYC based girls graffiti tee designers Kweenz Destroy.

While there's only one design of a YFF (young, fresh, fLy) 'Fafinette' you can get it on either a tee shirt or tank top.

I really ♥ Fafi and even have a print of hers so you know I'm copping one. I think I'm going with the tee. Fafinettes are adorably whorish... and maaaaybe a good Halloween costume?! Hmmm..........




Buy it (for me): kweenzdestroy.net

Food Vs. CLothes

There are two things I spend a lot of money on- Clothes and Weed. And I love when I can mix the two together. In comes Married To The MOB (Money Over Bitches), the girly/ tough street-wear clothing line for chicas who don't take any bullshit.

I NEED these to satisfy both urges for bud and gear. The bathing suit would look banging on any MaryJane and it's reversible too! The way this season's turning out, I could probs wear the bathing suit well into October. And i can't even imagine how many ways I would rock that scarf!!
Okay, so maybe I will lay off the munchies so i can afford the clothes AND look tight in em.

And Look, they even have shirts for B in regards to her Stan!
