gnarlitude — 2010

we’re only given as much as the heart can endure

It’s rare that I am very fond of something pink (the Dolce fur coat and Lanvin dress are the only ones that come to mind in recent years) but this brand new limited editon LOVE x LONGCHAMP tote bag is so incredibly pretty that I can’t help but include this into that very short list… & I would LOVE to carry it around each day even though I am sure I would get it dirty very, very quickly. It will be available exclusively at LONGCHAMP NY stores and Colette in Paris. Want want want.

Rick Owens Xtra Long Legging. No, really.. with the leather jacket this is the perfect shit to throw on in the evening and venture out to your favorite little Australian restaurant (Kingswood anyone? We’re not really restaurant people but will never pass up the opportunity to go there), in the corner booth snug up to your dude drinking endless cocktails. Seriously though, who’d have thought a pair of tights pulled up over your tits could look so hyper-chic..

I think another ideal situation for this would have been the Vogue Paris bal masqué with some very detailed black leather mask (or fittingly, one similar to Michele’s). Anyhow, the price is about $300 and it’s gonna go with virtually everything in that closet of yours so if that’s not a good dollar spent.. well..

give us an hour for magic

Gentry recently went out West for Billy’s Bike Run and shot me over the link to see photos from the ride and it looks like they couldn’t have had a better time!! (I especially want that tent more than anything right now.) The photos are so good and it rules he went so far out (from Brooklyn) for this run.

Gentry was riding his ’49 Harley pan that Keino recently built for him… which is too fucking cool.. there are a ton of photos and a small interview with him up on Chopcult after the dude from that site met up with him on The Gypsy Run (that I mentioned a little while back) so check that out for the full specs of this sick bike!

WATCH ALL 3

Chopper Dave with a few of the guys from White Knights hauling ass around Brooklyn. Feels like you’re riding right behind him with that helmet camera!

Max made this amazing flick of his bike trip from Oakland to NY and back for the Brooklyn Invitational.

And as if there weren’t enough reasons to love Ksubi already, they release this video for their new Ghost Shoppe in Sydney!! What could be better than Ksubi, The Cramps and cute animals all at once?

will you ever return

Jason Lee Parry for Qvest magazine #42. JLP is such a great photographer and really nails these motoshoots. An older friend of mine has been wearing the Harley hat below since he was a teen and that shit is vintage now, it made me smile to spot it in this shoot.

our only goal will be the western shore

“A Galloping Goose cruises Griffith Park with his ol’ lady in the Summer of 1972. From the pack roll on the front end, it looks like they were either headed out somewhere, or just coming in. What else could be better?”

–Photo & text from my favorite blog, Applied Machete. Irish Rich has thee best stories, bikes, etc etc etc.

I have more to say about the Louis Vuitton SS11 show but for now, how incredible is this bag that LOVEMAG snapped?? It’s so beautiful but really, any shade remotely purple wins me over 100% and there was no shortage of it on the runway this season.

My interview with incredible french fashion label Dévastée is now as part of my LOVE Magazine gig and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!!!

Francois illustrated the entire thing and how amazing is that!? I thoroughly adored their SS 11 collection but I LOVE all of their collections for many reasons so I just welcome another to daydream myself wearing. Get into Dévastée!!

it ain’t never felt so good
