Support Movember

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
Movember Who: The Movember Foundation and their supporters. What: Grow a 'stache and help raise money to support the Prostate Cancer Foundation. As a symbol of manhood, the mustache became the focus for the campaign and has added a fun competitive spirit to the good cause. Movember encourages women to join the movement. Yes, yes, we can't actually grow a mustache but we can support our Mo-Bros and help raise funds. Where: The month of Movember is celebrated world wide. Since 2004 the campaign has raised $45 million USD for its beneficiary partners in Australia, New Zealand, UK, US, Canada, Spain and Ireland. Why: Support a good cause. All money raised will be donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation (in the US, half the proceeds will go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.). When: Movember (formally known as November) starts the day after Halloween aka November 1st. Mo-Bro's have the full month to grow their 'stache, all while collection donations. A gala in each city is held at the end of the month, where each Bro dresses up to match his mo. Support: Moustache Men!

MAMMA MIA: SWEDES DO IT BETTER

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

swedish-fish

There are some major stereotypes about Sweden. People think swedes are a bunch of beautiful blonds who smell like campfire and only concern themselves with ABBA, gummy fish, Nobel Peace Prizes and bikes. All these stereotypes are pretty much true. Swedish people are gorgeous ladies and gents who only shop at thrift stores, eat elk, and enjoy jogging and biking. Seriously. That's what they do. Finding kids with cool style was so easy it was overwhelming. Here's eight of the best:

Seven For All Snowboarders

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009
Vans X Seven for all Mankind Snowboard Pants For those who have grown up on the hills, seeing these you might be flashing back to those unfavorable, unfashionable, uneducated tourist wearing jeans, inadequate jackets to match and sunglasses instead of goggles. If you ride, you know that every item you wear needs to be as practical and comfortable as it is stylish. Snow bunny isn't the way to go, but looking good on the hill is still a must. This season, premium denim company, Seven for all Mankind, has teamed up with Vans to do just that--creating a fully functional denim snowboard pant. Modeled after Seven's ever-popular NY Boot-Cut style, these pants may look exactly like a pair of regular jeans, but they're designed for a rider and are perfect for the snow. Insulated for the cold days, waterproof and breathable to keep you dry and zippers at the bottom to fit them over your snowboard boots, these are perfect for the halfpipe and for that après-ski fun. Cheers! vans-x-7-for-all-mankind-snow-pant_hi-res1

VW X Melissa Gives You Wings

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Having previously collaborated on these hearty favorites, Vivienne Westwood and Melissa join forces again--this time it comes in the form of the Wing Rocking Horse Shoe. The good people here aren't sure if this flat wedge style needs to fall back (it can look a little orthopedic-ish at times), but we think this viv and melissa collab is fun. One thing that is for sure, these shoes give you wings (and an extra couple inches on your height). Available in black, gold and white. via: ASVOF
