Little Red Riding Hoodie

I got this hoodie a while back while I was in Portland. It’s an interesting piece to have in your closet. The bold colors and length make a statement indeed. At first thought, it’s great for workouts or a walk to the gym. But I wanted to take it a step further and turn it…

Who even knew there was a New York in Texas?

My birthday was a few weeks ago, so to celebrate, I went zip-lining in New York, Texas. The sensation of flying is the best feeling in the world. And the views were gorgeous. There was even a coke bottle in the sky that day. Can you see it?

’cause I’m a bad habit, one you cannot change

I went to a Foals concert last Saturday night at the Vic in Chicago. Talk about an insanely good show. Holy Fire is a hell of an album. “My Number” is destined to be a huge hit. My personal favorite is “Bad Habit.” The lead singer is a maniac.He was crowd surfing, still playing his…

My new Liberty of London Sky Highs fit right into the environment with all of the colors and grungy…

just keeping Portland weird

I’ve been in Portland for 9 days now, and I haven’t even scratched the surface of all that is this great city. As you may well know, Nike headquarters is right outside of Portland in Beaverton. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pass to the employee store…and I went a little…
