Weekend Tune: “DoYaThing” by Gorillaz feat. James Murphy and Andre 3000

Happy weekend! Did you enjoy your Leap Year Day? Getting geared up for March?

The other day Casie blogged about the SS 12 preview for Converse, and mentioned their collaboration with the Gorillaz. I thought it then only appropriate to post the Converse sponsored music video for “DoYaThing” by Gorillaz  featuring James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and Andre 3000 of OutKast. See if you can stop the new kicks in the clip…

COWGIRLS IN TEXAS

Lauren, Kate and I leave for SXSW in Austin on Wednesday. Packed my cowboy hat already. It’s gonna be warm & sunny 😉

We’re working on a blog travel diary that’ll be run by Kate the whole trip. For now, check out our Pinterest board of all things SXSW 2012.

I am beyond excited. This is the biggest/bloggest trip I/we’ve ever done/blogged. Yeah, jam packed 10 days of non-stop. When I come back I’m taking a few days off then going on Whiskey vacation with Canadian Club. This video is good style inspiration, Wildfox Spring 2012  “Even Cowgirls Get The Blues”.

Going to CanLIT training event tonight. If you want more information… you will find it!

CONVERSE SS12 – Bring on Spring!

Earlier this week Lauren and I went to the SS 12 preview for Converse. It was help at the beautiful St. Germain Hotel downtown. These are my fav picks. There’s a this one pair called Chuckit Stripe Gore Lady CVO Slip, they’re really light (weight) kicks with a sailor feel. You know how much I love all things nautical!

Here’s a slideshow of some of my favourites.  I love the collaborations with Marvel Comics and The Gorillaz. There’s a bunch of new colours & styles out this season too. I’m super stoked to have a few pairs delivered next week as Converse is one of our SXSW Sponsors!!

Project X : mini review by Jason Nip

If you’ve watched the trailer you know what you’re about to see. 3 unpopular high school teens, parents leaving for a weekend trip and a house ripe for the most destructive house party ever captured by a shaky handheld camera.

What you don’t expect is just how far this party escalates and the number of “oh shit!” moments peppered with some laughs that carry the audience on a train ride to some unexpected dark places, keeping the genre fresh with a more realistic and less Disney like conclusion.

I half expected to hate the film and there are those who will but the bastard child of Superbad and Cloverfield works on most levels if you let it. It’s a ride you want to stay on till the wheels fall off and do they ever.

Project X hits theaters March 2nd.
