Caroline Gaimari of Purple. Jennifer Eymere of Jalouse. Think it’s just one hat making the rounds or is there a Suicidal Tendencies revival ala the Vans x S.T. pack?

You all know how TOTALLY stoked I was to see my favorite coat photographed on Anna Della Russo during FW. So sick. Each of these photos captures it so perfectly and she couldn’t have worn it better. Maybe that thing will show up on Yoox or Gilt or something some day and it’ll be mine?

My friend Tom has a new record coming out and I couldn’t be anymore stoked for him if I tried. Our friend Chris of Steak Mtn has once again done the cover artwork and it looks so fucking sick. You may know Chris because I’ve rambled on about how amazing he is here in the past but also because he made my title “Sleep Deprivation” thing you see every time you come check out this here blog. Chris rules and if you’re not a fan yet, you should be so go check out more of his work NOW.

Anyway, a few weeks back I had the pleasure of meeting up with Tom again. It had been close to ten years since we last saw one another and Chris actually pus us back in touch with each other recently and we were both going to be in the same town again on the same night so we had to hang out. Needless to say we had a blast. I don’t really like playing catch up with too many people but Tom & I were really good friends back then so it only had one direction to go and that was fucking awesome. I’m way stoked to have him in my life again and really proud of how far he’s come since playing in my living room. Anyhow, if you’re into good tunes and feeling like maybe the world isn’t so doomed after all, check out the new Against Me! record and catch them out on tour right now.. you might even see me at some of the shows.

My dearest Proenza Schouler,

You can send this coat to me overnight with Fedex.

I’ll be waiting by the doorstep in the morning.

Thank you kindly,

Jen Hanley

Wayy overdue THANKSSS to my friend Max for the new gear!!!! He sent me some new stuff a few weeks back which included this great heather grey pullover and black tee. I’ve never owned a sweatshirt before (so different than a hoodie) but he was right in saying it’s the softest one ever. I’m still not sold on venturing outdoors wearing a sweatshirt (too casual) but every night I find myself reaching for it when the house gets too cold and it’s totally perfect. It also looks sick under my leather jacket but again, haven’t stepped outside in it yet. Anyway, his 4Q shirts are some of my favs of all time and I’m totally obsessed with this new print..

So sick, right?!?!

At the moment they’re all sold out but you’ll be lucky when Max decides to do another run.

ANDY KESSLER x VANS SYNDICATE

There are a lot of legendary guys who’ve landed their own Syndicate Vans and it made me smile real big to see that Kessler finally got his own. I spotted these on one of my favorite blogs Shipworm & Gribble for the surf shop MOLLUSK in Brooklyn. I don’t read a lot of blogs and I know these images just got released but it’s hard to believe it took this long for them to get to me. ANYWAY, it really makes me smile that Andy got his own Vans, it’s just so unfortunate that it’s after he passed away. They’re really sick looking, leather & suede and perforated. I’m hoping I can get both for sure. They’re so great and so are the small details that the Syndicate Vans always have. RIP(PER) ANDY.
