[SD] Etnies Plus x The Lovewright Co.

Attention San Diego: You’ve seen the Califas boot on countless blogs for months now, and the time has finally come. Saturday, November 20th will mark the release of the much anticipated Etnies Plus + Lovewright Co. collaboration boot, and rightful partying is scheduled to ensue. Mayer Hawthrone, Ikah Love, and Question will be tearing up the decks all night long. And if you read the fine print, there is something about a Tecate open bar.

They will be giving away special edition LWR | EP tote bags filled with product from all the sponsors. The first 50 to RSVP to events@lovewrightco.com will receive a tote bag at the event. Don’t sleep, RSVP now.

Happy Deuces Mink!

[Sunday, November 7th] It was a back-to-back birthday weekend.  First it was Ben Wang's and now it was time to celebrate Mink's "Deuce Deuce" at Saddle Ranch off Sunset Blvd.  Who's down to ride the bull!?

After a few drinks, Cheryl and I headed over to Entree Sundays at My Studio to meet up with the JL fam for some #morebelve.  First thing Cheryl said to me when we walked in was, "I fell like I'm in a music video." HAHA

Good afternoon everyone!  I wanted to take some time out to let you know that I've joined the Creative Contraband (CC) team in Los Angeles headed by lifestyle marketing guru, Kenny Mac (LVMH).

There is no simple way of explaining what CC is, but what I can tell you is that I've been brought on board to focus on marketing and brand development.  Our contemporary men's brand, GPPR will be my main priority, plus other special upcoming collaborative projects with such brands as Hennessy Black, Crooks & Castles, Hellz, Black Scale, and others.  I'll also be apart of the Creative Contraband: Peer Pressure blog network of creative's and influencers.
