NEW YORK, NEW YORK- WE LOVE YOU. HERE WE GO

we got on the china town bus after many a shots at Empire. David rushed us the the bus and Casey myself and our intern Alex quickly found seats by creepy creepsters… we took 6 sleeping pills and next thing you know its 7am and loud techno music is welcoming us to the infamous china town. A hop and a skip later the rumors girl are preparing to meet with our labels. After throwing on our CTRL outfits we are in a cab and off to see the fall lines from Soundgirl, LA Made and Nick & mo. After having 2 glasses of wine with each vendor, we learned the day was still young and there was still much more time to drink and many more people to meet...

Let me tell you a little bit about new york. First off everyone is hot; at any given time on every other street corner there is a girl or a guy that could be the love of my life. Everyone is wearing neon 80’s $12 glasses. The most stylish women are dressed in an updated Gladiator Sandal with bright bubble skirts or highwaisted shorts with tiny vintage belts R0031550 olsen-in-sequin shorts+girl-1 Active wear meets street wear all over Manhattan...simple jersey dresses with yoga mats thrown in small bags over one shoulder...Shockingly, the elongated loose vest is still staying very present with the new season as well as black tights under EVERYTHING

but honestly Bubble Bubble Bubble…… and sequins…bright neon glasses…. eurotrash haircuts have crossed the oceans and feminine white blouses with tailored slacks are what every girl over 25 is rocking…With the seasons adjusting and the daily weather changing from rain to sun shine every few hours, you get to see a very eclectic assortment of fashion…. but enough about that did i mention that everyone is hott.. hott.. hott..

Oh Samantha Pleet….and everything is so expensive...luckily we have a free place to sleep... is this New York or is this London? we have made very concrete plans to take over the world, starting with richmond. Tonight we are going to a Stussy launch party; hopefully i will die on the dance floor. The Deathtraitor boys and friends have been treating us like the gods that we are…. look out Brooklyn here we come. death Death Traitor… we own it.. we love it.. we sell it….. you should buy it…each season gets better & better.

Top 3 things that rule about New York

Things that blow about new york

1. not being able to leave the bar and be home in 5 minutes

2. tripping over and over again infront of lots of people

3. getting hit on by dudes….. but new york, we love you.

Casey and I visited a few boutiques that sell the same lines as we do and our jaws hit the ground when we saw how much money they are selling items for. If we lived here we would be gazillionares, seriously.
