Posted on June 15th, 2009 by by Nubby

As I’ve been doing a major office cleaning, I discovered that I have a small crate of Bodoni shirts in both black and white left. And, the less I have to move, the better! So, this week I will be running a special with all Bodoni shirts marked down from $22.00 to $16.00. SHOP HERE!

Happy Friday! I decided to have some fun and dress up even though my night consists of nothing more than listening to Journey while I continue packing up my office. I still remember when I bought these Michael Kors Firebird wedges back in 2004. They were my first pair ‘designer shoes’ and I remember taking [...]

Packing Up. My office is looking more empty by the day. I’ve been slowly but surely packing it up because I am moving very, very soon! My brother, Lee and I will soon all be under one roof. I’ve lived with all guys for the last 15 years so I think I can handle it! [...]

The Typofiles #21: Megan Fox in Elle

Posted on June 9th, 2009 by by Nubby

The U.S. edition of Elle never disappoints. Their art direction is probably the best that I’ve ever seen in a mainstream fashion magazine and this month’s Megan Fox spread was perfectly executed. The opening page with the stark and repetitive type treatment is downright amazing. As always, you can view all of The Typofiles scans [...]

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Amy, a stylist at Oscar + Fitch, a hip & fashionable eyeglasses boutique in Edinburgh, Scotland. She wanted to know if I would like to try a pair of their glasses and I excitedly agreed. Though I have perfect vision, I enjoy wearing non-prescription glasses for some [...]

I’ve worn all of these pieces a ton of times on their own but somehow never together. I figured that it was time to put my own twist on the infamous Balmain look. Vest, Target Go International Tank top, Forever 21 Jeans, Kill City Headband, belt and bracelet, Forever 21 Heels, Diana Broussard Bag, Miu [...]

More photobooths! This week, I met my friend & fellow designer Pam at a bar in my neighborhood and discovered that they had a photobooth in back. Excitement!
