With one of my favorite people hopping the pond to go learn the Buckingham walk and the cockney talk, I felt I should take a moment to highlight one of my favorite London fashion designers, Carri Mundane, and her new huggable Nike shoe. So that she will send me a signed pair before they drop at Foot Locker and House of Hoops in October. Size 8.5, my dear (insert awkward wink). Anyway, Carri Mundane and her Cassette Playa designs are insanely fierce and I want to jump into a big pile of them like Uncle Scrooge from DuckTales. Even Rolling Stone listed her as the Best Fashion Designer in their Best of Rock 2008 issue. So quit doubting my gangster.

Her spastic color choices and eye-twitch inducing patterns make me writhe in delight. Probably because I have a self-diagnosed case of A.D.D. Wait, what was I convincing you of? Just kidding, I remember. Pretty shoes…right? Here’s a look at my stunning gift…I mean her latest collabo venture with Nike. It’s the bees knees. And I may or may not have picked that up from a british slang website. You know you feel me.

You should probably also check out her interview with Safra Ducreay of Sneaker Freaker. She won’t compromise for “the man,” loves working with the boys (peep game on her latest collabo with Billionaire Boys Club on their new Look Book) and designed a shoe that I want to sleep in the bed with me. I mean that in the least creepy way possible.

So…I have a confession to make. My name is Jennifer and I’m addicted to headphones. Yeah, I know I already have a problem with sneakers but would you tell an alcoholic kleptomaniac to pick one? I think not. Anyway, the latest WeSC Artist Series Headphones are set to drop in July and are not helping my recovery. They’re each based on the WeSC bongo model and I want to wear them all like pretty necklaces for the world to see. It could become my calling card! Like Flava Flav’s clock or Mr. T’s gold dookey chains. Except I’m not crazy. Don’t respond to that statement. I mean, I know it’s unacceptable to buy a new pair of headphones every three months. And that you probably shouldn’t feel a surge of excitement when you realize you “accidentally” left yours on the train last night. But, c’mon, look how adorable they are. I’ll tell you what; if you buy all of them for me then I didn’t actually pay for a new pair of headphones. And If I have all four I’ll probably go a whole year without buying another pair! You know I think I’m making real progress. Dare I say, I think I’ve made a break through. Ok, maybe not a whole year…But I’d definitely make it to snowfall…one day at a time. You can pre-order my pair (Achhuuuu…Dim Mak) at hanon shop. And hey, pre-order yourself a pair too. See how generous I am? What can I say? I’m like Santa.
