Wholesale Wholesome
The other week we stumbled upon this absolute gem in Shoreditch, London which is The Wholesome Store, 47 Rivington Street. Regard the signed Ricky Powell prints below.
Being steadfastly manned by Kyle & Kyle (not Pete & Pete) not only do they have a number of premium streetwear brands, it was 50% off all Autumn/Winter stock! If you’re living in/visiting London we suggest you get down there asap while this sale is still on. They’ve got stock rarer than the Tai Shan Panda. Alternatively you can email or call them to place orders. Details are all there on their blog, which you all should keep an eye on for new Spring stock dropping every-damn-day.
Harrods Winter Sale – Save The Date
A fairly non-incredible Amanda Holden has been cast to open the pantomime that has come to be known as the Harrods Winter Sale. The blonde presenter of Britain’s Got Talent will be on show at Door 5, 10am if you really wish to get a glimpse of her – otherwise, on a more related note, Harrods are offering up to 50% off across the sale.
Keep an eye on this Harrods link for updates on the full preview list prior to attending.
Free Shipping, Free P&P – We Like
I do like shopping sites that give away free P&P/shipping across the board – maybe it’s the fact that it allows me to just buy individual items and stops me putting ‘x’ number of items into my basket just to spend £100 or whatever the minimum normally is to qualify for free shipping on that particular site – but we always know the cost must be transferred to the price of the products etc.
As you may know, ASOS recently introduced free shipping on all items using an Amazon-esque Super Saver Delivery option which they promise will deliver your precious goods within 6 working days, but another little gem I stumbled across by the name of Bespoke Boutique will also provide you with the same courtesy, albeit with a slightly smaller range of goods. However, taking a look at the site of the latter will guide towards a plethora of boutique brands including Raf by Raf Simons, April 77, Cheap Monday, Mjolk… the list goes on.
Here are a few delights, handpicked by yours truly:
chronicles of never | 1914 - 1918 boot - £163
ravishing mad - mav drop crotch jean - £96
opening ceremony | deerskin desert boot - £172
april 77 records | mountain spring cardigan - £179
a.d.deertz | honey double layer plaid shirt - £85
See Into the Future?
This time last year there was some discussion about these bad boys. They first came on the ‘Nerd’s radar funnily via the N*E*R*D “Everyone Nose (Remix)” video on your boy Pharrell. Oh how we chuckled to ourselves, then something was brought up. Go back and peep the video for N*E*R*D “She Wants To Move” March 2004 and there he is again sporting some white framed wayfarers. Almost a year before the likes of Ms Moss even thought about such things.
Last year they could be had for £275.00 at Oki-Ni and were released on the 30th September. We suppose only time will tell if people will take to the Gordi La Forge/Urban Music Visionary look.
Summer (sh)jackets
Okay so a bit biased as one of us is wearing this while posting, but hey it fits like a glove and looks great with only the top one/two buttons done up. Its nice and light weight for S/S and although unfortunately not flannel, you can still pretend you’re Easy-E (pre AIDS). Heres what the Topman blog had to say about it:
“If you’re not familiar with this garment type yet, then get to know it quickly as its set to be big in A/W 09. With the formal styling of a shirt shaped straighter and often fabricated like a jacket, this truly is a diverse wardrobe piece. Wear it open with a tee underneath or buttoned to the top with a pair of skinny jeans, however you rock the Shacket it’s a great update for A/W 09.”
