Since I came home for the summer, I have been spending a lot of my shopping time in The Closet: California Couture. Everything they have in there is the epitome of street California fashion, which is definitely a style I have missed a lot since I moved out to Boston. All my time intensely searching through the racks at The Closet has made me fall in love with the company OBEY. Their screenprints grab your attention and have a message that means more than “it looks cool.”
The Ironic 80s Episode Downfall of Fanny Pak on America's Best Dance Crew
WHY DOES AMERICA’S BEST DANCE CREWKEEP DOING THIS TO ME!?!? For the second season in a row, ABDC has eliminated my favorite crew on the second to last episode. They are so close and I am so excited for them, then BAMM! They are in the bottom two. I love Fanny Pak. Their creativity is out of this world. Who else can embody toy soldiers, cannibals, and sexual P.E. nerds so well? In their final performance on the show, they impersonated the judges and did an amazing remake of flash dance.
Once Upon a Time in New York T-shirts at KarmaLoop
The people over at KarmaLoop have got some fresh new gear in stock. I figured that this would be a great opportunity to mention my new favorite clothing company (for the next 24 hours or so), Once Upon a Time in New York. Their t-shirts are bold and make a statement, literally. I eyed this clever “We Run Boston” tee and know that I have to get it. If Boston isn’t your city, there are plenty of variations on this “We Run __“ tee. They also have an “I Got More Kicks Than Chun-Li” tee and a “If Notorious Big was Alive 90% of Rappers Today Would Be Working at McDonalds”. Hahaha.
Fresh Tank Theory Samurai Black T-Shirt at KarmaLoop
Today is the the 4th of July; America’s own Independence Day. As per the annual tradition, every 4th of July evening explosions of color mark the sky. “The Samurai” tee by Tank Theory also features an explosion of colors, which some say resemble miniature fireworks. Tank Theory is a t-shirt brand and design company that essentially produces wearable art. The designs that they have are totally unique and stunning. They describe themselves as “original in concept, design, and execution.”
