I love a slouch tee. One that is so buttery soft, it almost feels like you're not wearing anything. I'm wearing Cheap Monday Jean, Who Killed Bambi tee (available here), Steve Madden Wedges and CCS.COM skateboard (oops, obviously not wearing it - but featuring it)
Hope you all had a killer weekend!

Jonathan took these photos this afternoon as the sunset was just too magical to miss. I opened them up in Photoshop to re-size them and I was taken aback by how awesome they were. There is no enhancements whatsoever. We love our new Canon 5D Mark II so much! Such a great investment, that's for sure

I found this short documentary about "Influencers" very interesting. NB: It may require you to sit still for 13 minutes, but you will take something from it, I promise.
For those of you who don't take the time to watch things, I will quickly explain to you what you could have seen. This documentary explores what it means to be an influencer. It then goes on to talk about how trends and creativity is becoming more widespread within today's society due to music, fashion and entertainment.
My thoughts on Popular Culture and it's influences on our society: Pop culture is so ingrained into our society that it's impossible not be influenced by it. I think it's great that it is having such a massive impact on people identities. My life has changed immensely since 2008 (around the time I realised I loved fashion so much) because I have been able to access broad based mediums and because it's become easier for me to search for instant information. I have been able to absorb all this information and it has now helped me to formulate my own ideals, opinions, and essentially my outlook on life. So I believe without pop-culture my "influencers" would have been completely different.
So my questions to you are: What and who are you influenced by? What shapes you as a person? Has it been someone who has created something? A musician? An everyday person? A fashion designer?
See more on the Influencers siteWritten and Directed by Paul Rojanathara and Davis Johnson, the film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential creatives (advertising, design, fashion and entertainment) who are shaping today's pop culture.

Even though t-shirts seem to be becoming yesterdays news, with the bra or bikini top (whatever you want to call them) making their way in to street wear, I still think nothing beats a good ol' print tee.
Here are a bunch of tee's by German based label TRINITAS. All their products are very limited - which gives them a collectible feeling. Knowing that you're one of the few people who own something is a great feeling, don't you think? Once these tee's are sold out, then that's it! There's no chance of them being reprinted! (I think they have well and truly sold out now) But I thought I'd post as I really like the illustrations.
Happy Hump Day errybody!
