J'♥ Wildfox

I've posted about them hella but really the girls over at Wildfox seriously kill at marketing and presenting their brand. Makes me want to head in that direction, if only it was always this fun. Their photoshoots that they openly release (here at Wildfox Photoshoots, plus their Photobucket account isn't locked?) several times a year are always so damn California cool... not to mention that I think for most of them they do the photography themselves as well as have their own beautiful, gorgeous angel friends do the modeling for them. They are such an inspiration. Raise your hand if you wanna be a Wildfox girl! *raises hand* Anyways, they recently posted the latest set, titled "15 Things To Do When You're Really Bored" and here they are, feel free to follow these guidelines during Reading Week:

All day, Everyday

As tweeted, I could alternatively wear each of these t-shirts for days straight if I had to. I think I'm going on Day 4 already in my white one? Plus my mom is in Las Vegas so she hasn't done my laundry lately? Who am I kidding... that's not my excuse. I learnt how to do my laundry just this year ;). The truth of the matter is that I wear them because they are probably the best investment pieces I've ever bought, kids. I've got nothing but sheer love for these two in particular, even though I've been getting really cold (and perhaps a little dirty) lately.

GGG to Vancity #7: Inexpensive Thrills

tee by AZFN.

I love being caught off guard with simple yet such genius designs such as this oversized pocket just dead-on in the middle of the shirt. It's like it's not supposed to be there yet it is perfectly supposed to be there at the same time. Who better to come up with that than William Anzevino and Richard Florence, the fashion duo known for their juxtaposition? By far one of my favorite (and funnest) pieces I own, and also not so surprising to me that it's from the Men's collection but as soon as my boyf saw it he knew I'd think it was sick.

There was a section of the store that was dedicated to "last pairs" and after I had already purchased my tee, one of the girls decided (tactically, I'm sure) to ask what size feet I had, and from then on I figured it was destiny that both last pairs were itty bitty size 5's. I'm still totally into the whole tribal idea and from the intricate bead detailing to the real pony hair used on these giada's... the shoe just fit. I apologize for my lame attempt at turning this story into a modern day Cinderalla... but sometimes shopping is just that. Oh and another noteable feature: rear zip in the back? Don't we all love easy access these days.

i'm dying. these are genius.
possibly THE dopest "Dope Tees" i've yet to post.

Couldn't Get Enough

"T-shirt by Raquel Allegra."
I'm thinking of shredding this shirt from Zara, but I'm a little scared I'll do it wrong and wreck it, which would cause me great grief (oh, good grief Charlie Brown) because it's one of my favorite shirts. Hmm... gotta test my shredding skills out on some old rags first and I'll let you know how it turns out.

Sooo killer. I'm especially in love with the first two, perhaps possibly because they look like x-rays.

RE: FRSH x Manny Pacquiao x Pound 4 Pound

via text message:

"Your blog is the ish!! Just ordered my Manny shirt hahaha."



...Ezap got his hands on one thanks to GGGB, how dope!

FRSH x Manny Pacquiao x Pound 4 Pound

Special edition tee. Comes in one black color way (For The Boys only) and is limited to just 502 pieces being made worldwide (commemorating the fight against Britain’s Rickey Hatton taking place on 5/02). Official release date for these tribute tees is this Friday! So if your Filipino, or if you know what's up and is just a fan of the Pacman, then get them at Francoshade (FRSH) or 80's Purple has already started selling them just today as well.



All proceeds from sales will go towards the Manny Pacquiao Foundation, which was established with the goal to provide support and assistance to the underprivileged in the Philippines by offering aid with medical assistance, education for the youth, and food to those in need.

GGGB loves dope tees,

especially when they're for a dope cause!

RE: GGGB Loves fcswdt

Why do I blog? I blog because there is so much dopeness around us, for lack of a better word. I speak for all of us when I say that I could want nothing more than to simply share the things that I come across on a daily basis, as I live my life and come across the things that I happen to come across. What it comes down to is that I do this because I like to, and not because I can get anything out of it but instead because maybe you, as my readers, may get something out of it.



That being said you can imagine how thrilled I was to log onto my Facebook account this morning, only to have an unexpected message from my buddy Addison of the fcswdt team that I recently just introduced on GGGB:

Subject: Hey...

Between You and Addison Chanthyvong



I would like to thank you for your little article about us on your blog! It is greatly appreciated and very well said! It's very rewarding and reassuring to know that we have people out there who have faith in our company. It pushes me to keep doing big things not just for our company but for Calgary and the ppl!!



For that I would like to offer you a free shirt of your choice as a sign of gratitude on behalf of the fcswdt team. Lemme know what size and style your feelin' and we'll set up a meeting time/place!



Thanks Amanda,

you're blog is great btw!! Keep at it!!

Addison C.

I truly do mean it when I say that I really don't post to get anything out of it. Regardless, it's good to know that what I find inspiring is reciprocated back at me. On an ending note, which fcswdt shirt should I pick?! I'm thinking the "Good Girl Gone Bad" one... seems fitting, no?

GGGB Loves fcswdt

Watch out Kid Robot, Crooks & Castles, Johnny Cupcakes... there's a new guy in town. Introducing: fcswdt. I'm sure I'm not the only one when I say that it's a breath of fresh air to see the development of an apparel and lifestyle brand that is locally-based right out of our hometown, Calgary. Established just this year in time to hit S/S09, already I can see the potential of this company turning into much, much more than just a t-shirt business. "We aim to bring forth a number of projects from the array of subcultures: artists, musicians, athletes and alluring individuals we see and meet on a daily basis." Plus, not only is buddy Addison one out of the five guys behind the project, but on their fresh Official Website (just launched yesterday), a familiar face from my years of high school, Stace, is modeling the Men's S/S09 collection. When asked when I could get my hands on some, their reply? "The tees will not be available till about next week... we still have some minor details to be added to some of them! We are very anxious to release to the public, yet don't want to rush without filling the small details to provide our customers with high quality threads! Thanks for your support Amanda!" Seriously, these guys are dope.

Show your love,

do you fcswdt?

PLAIN WHITE T. As much as I may post about high-end fashion and the world of unnecessary wants in life, I'm not going to pretend like I have that kind of money (right now, anyway) to live in the luxury of actually owning everything I post about. Hence the label "Wishlist" that usually accompanies those kinds of posts. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that if I had my way I would wear shirts like these everyday with a pair of black JBrand's, my leather jacket and some Converse chucks; and if needed, switch to a pair of heels and to be honest I'd be able to live in those outfits Day n' Nite... that's more like me (right now, anyway).

WHAT AM I DOING? There are days when I feel exactly like this shirt.
