If you haven't heard of Lightspeed Champion then wake up.

Go ahead, Make my day

I love the feel and I love the concept. Keep on keepin' on

Is it winter yet?

First off I want to apologize to those who read because we haven't been able to keep the posts up to date. I guess this is what happens when you start a company with a pre-med, a business major, and a bio-engineer. Oh well, at leat we are back on our feet. Anyways, winter is here or at least it feels as if it is right around the corner, and frankly, I want to be prepared for the cold weather even if I am in the Lone Star state.

First up is the Hooded Duffle Coat by Bedwin & The Heartbreakers. It's nice to see that someone has finally put some real nice thought into the design of the classic duffle coat. Especially with the bright yellow color way (you can get it in classic grey and black), you are sure to turn heads this season. Available here.
If you are more into playing dress up, BBC/Ice Cream has got the perfect smoking jacket for you. I'm not sure if there is any other way to describe it other than fresh out of the mind. The Space Beach Heart Jacket is your classic blazer with a new touch. Check out those lapels. Space beach is looking chilly this season. Check it out here.

Looking for something a little bit lighter and functional so you can ride your fixie through the city. Steven Alan recently collaborated with Chari & Co. bike store to produce a real nice flannel piece. Including features for the everyday rider such as a pop-up stud collar and velcro rip-pockets. Pick it up here.

Enjoy the season

A Week in Pictures

Gooding_080609_09317, originally uploaded by Eggnogg2.

These are the moments I truly cherish about photography. And while I could never live in NYC, at least not yet, it is so full of life and interesting people that I am envious of those who wade through the busy crowds and the noisy streets. A moment in time transcended into minutes. He seemed to walk slower and parted from his companion. A mutual understanding and appreciation for the art. The shutter closes and I gesture my thanks. There is no reply, but a look of approval as we pass. Is it possible just to know?

Kanye for GQ

What a coincidence, I'm fantastic too!

I find it very interesting how Wes Anderson's style can come through even when it is a completely different medium. And of course he uses his favorite actors, but I'm not complaining. I love Coconut Records.

What's Tappening?

This is of course a little white lie, but remember to stay educated.

Undefeated+Gourmet

Right now, Gourmet is kicking up dirt behind them. They made some enemies (cease and desist from Nike), but it all turned out alright because now they are laying it down with their own designs. I recently got my self two pair and they are the best thing I have bought in a long time. Seeing that they are doing a collabo with Undefeated is no exception. Just check out that detailing on the leather.

Living Color, Act Two

Here it is. My pride and joy. I've been working (from designing to inking) this design for a good 3 weeks now and it's nearing completion finally. This shirt was done differently than most, I drew the entire thing while listening to music on shuffle from my iTunes. This is my best attempt at making sound, and, to be more specific, music something physical. Although when I first drew this, it was just whatever I felt coming out with no real meaning, I have looked back and realized how each piece feels like a specific type of the music I was listening to. I was going to outline this for you, but decided the entire point of music is interpretation, so I'll let you chew on this for yourself. Hope it's tasty.

Getcha Some

I'm on the hunt....The Manhunt

I'm usually not up to blog on Bape stuff, but now that they have ditched most of their pattern work and have become somewhat of a respectable brand even though they are still over priced, i seem to enjoy their pieces more. Especially their manhunt boots that come in a classic suede option (beige & black) and premium leather (brown & black). Not to mention the manhunt im print on the tongue and the patent "R" on the heel. They look comfy to boot. Haha get it.

They Run This Town

Jay-Z feat. Kanye West & Rihanna – Run This Town

Ri sings a darker hook, Jay lays down some foundation, and Mr.West lays down some solid bars. This one is HEAVY, so make sure you got your floaties.

I Make Her Say OHHHHH!

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Ladies! We don't mean to neglect you here at Ursa but there is just so much good stuff for you out there that it is hard to sort through. Starting today, I'm going to begin my search an post a little more for our lady readers. Alidra Alichas created an amazing collection; Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Truly whimsical at that. The pieces were inspired by the decorative floral motifs from the romantic period of the 1800s. Alidra invented her own techniques in order to make the jewelry, some of which took as long as six months to complete. Hard work that shows.

Wrap it up

Being an avid photographer myself, it is always great to see fashion and clothing merge. That is what makes Fragment Design so great. Hiroshi Fujiwara is not afraid to delve into the world of other products. I think the reason he does is because he is good at it and is well aware. From concept bike frames, sturdy iPhone cases, and now to Tech-Wrap. Now photographers can feel safe knowing that their camera is covered by a soft, plush neoprene material available in three colors. Of course there is the subtle Fragment branding. Leica M8 not included.

What skatin' is all about

Original Fake Fall/Winter 2009

There is only one thing I love more than a pouty Emma Watson

And that would have to be Crazy Japanese girls who are obsessed with Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) of Harry Potter. Last month, the Japanese television show Sanma Akashiya’s “Karakuri Terebi” held a contest with 10,000 of Japan’s biggest Harry Potter fans for the chance to visit the set of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. If you know anything about Japan in general, they love to beat, make fun of, and crush dreams for public enjoyment. Not to mention make fun of each other on national television. So of course in typical fashion they chose the most out there and outwardly obsessed fan to send to the UK.

The New Harvest

Corn-L, Shirt One of the College Ironic Series, an original design by Panda Baer

Coming soon to Ithaca. Throw away your "Gorges" shirts (hopefully you never actually agreed to transaction of money for one of these) and get ready for the subtle sensation.

Adonis, (Panda couldn't be here) Out

I liked it!

While catching up on some tunes from la radio, I came to a startling conclusion. I was really waiting out some time before I declare a winner, and now is that time. Katy Perry is officially greater than Lady Gaga. Two woman entered, one Katy Perry came out. I'm not sure if anyone else realized, but all Lady Gaga talks about is dick whether it be called a disco stick or a haaawk. Katy perry gives you that variety. She plays for the home team and for the visitors (unfortunately she didn't really kiss a girl). All that aside, lets boil it down to the basics and what really matters. Perry has got the better remixes under the belt with the help of Calvin "I created disco" Harris and Manhattan Clique. Let's be honest ladies and gents, if we could we would get that bass pumping through our veins. So crank up your sound to Turbo Bass and dance till you sweat. Check out the link for some downloadable contento!
