Keep x Animal Collective

Good Evening folks,

I just stumbled upon a super cool collaboration that Keep has undertaken. Keep is awesome. They have cruelty-free products. They are ethically aware. Best thing about it: they have some pretty sweet sneakers that are for both men and women. If you are ever in the Los Angeles Fairfax District, check out their store – their staff is super chill - http://keepcompany.com

They have recently teamed up with the band Animal Collective (check out their MySpace) to create some really interesting designs. Each member of the band designed a pair of Keep sneakers and these proceeds are all going to the Socorro Island Conservation Fund. The fund was set up to provide charitable support for marine and terrestrial conservation work on the Socorro Islands. For more on this charity, the website is here.

With most of us being occupied by other things at the moments, we have unfortunately neglected our fellow readers.

However, a return is definitely in the works.

JUST a pair of shoes? JUST?

in life, there are some things that are worth waiting for. sushi perhaps, taro milk tea with coconut jelly maybe, a first kiss with a loved one, or even the playoffs. I don’t know much about waiting. i am a pretty impatient person. but three days ago, I decided to wait for something BIG. ICONIC as some would put it. something that comes once in a blue moon.

chocolate cakes and leftover pasta

As I sit here lookin’ at an empty plate previously topped with icing-ed chocolate goodness I begin to wonder about the Fall. The season that  watchfully awaits us as we shed off those poundages only to fall right back into the trap of a routine college/work/no-time kind of diet. I also couldn’t help but notice that for the past 10 minutes, the 3 websites that I’ve visited all had ad’s about losing weight or getting one’s body in shape. Think on it a little guys and gals.

Why then does winter fashion seem more form-fitting/flattering?

It doesn’t, I just needed a segue so I can talk about these designers,

From Montreal.
