JKISSI : Recently I included LL Bean Boot’s in my essentials for the spring to have.  Well, Trav found this cool video floating around on YouTube about the production of how LL Bean creates their bean boots.  If you guys remember we also posted a video on the production of Red Wings some months ago.  When the weather is wet I look to these boots to the job of keeping my feet warm and dry which it does. Check the video out below. Oh yea, updates from Topman/Topshop coming soon on the opening.

JKISSI : The GAP, the company I once worked for released their  Fall 2009 campaign to the public recently, but that’s not the reason I posted this article. The title above “Bridging the GAP” means much more than the simple words. A day where the economy is plagued of minuses and companies are suffering forced to come up with budgets. I think in this type of atmosphere it is very crucial and important on how your business moves about. Everyone is pretty familiar with the GAP as a brand with deep American roots who has recently head by designer Patrick Robinson who has shown glimpses of  great improvement in my opinion. Question is does the older generation feel they’re being targeted in this ? Before when I was employed by this company it seemed a lot of older people felt a bit out-casted and complained about the GAP’s new direction. Some of the younger crowd may prefer other stores such as H&M , Zara and other fashion retailers, others may gravitate towards the GAP. I’m straying away from  this  being  biased too much by my own personal opinion , but I do feel designer Patrick Robinson is doing a good job for what the company is.  The Fall 2009 looks pretty good together in these shots they are bit late on some things incorporated in these pieces. For the price point when I was receiving 50% off merchandise it would look a lot better lol.  If shown to me without telling me this collection  was GAP Fall 2009 I would never guess lol.

What do you think personally ? 

JKISSI:  Apologies for the lack of updates after a busy week guys. The sudden spring break vacation we had is now over and its back to the overpriced textbooks.  To get me through the days music is a necessity and I thought to myself “what would be a great song for the site today?” right then this song started to play. Nostalgia hits and me takes me back to 1997 where I was in a rush to grow up , but now I want to enjoy these years slowly. This is Clef’s best album apart from the Fugees , The Carnival is a good album if you haven’t heard I recommend the listen.   What is there to say about the song , it hits the spot to put you in a mood of relaxation foreal.  Back to work , more updates very soon.
