The Housing Works Fall Preview Sales = Forget EVERYTHING That Y.O.U. Thought Y.O.U. Knew About Thrift-Shops!


Information Courtesy Of: Housingworks.Org


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:  Yes, once again, the much celebrated Housing Works Fall preview sales are back for the oh-9!  Featuring well-preserved fall merchandise from such laudable labels as Gucci, Theory, Prada, Emilio Pucci, DVF, along with home furnishings, art and more, the Housing Works preview sales offer relatively thrifty deals to a customer set that typically has no use for the word.

Starting today @ 5PM @ their Tribeca location and continuing throughout the month of September, each location will have their very own 1-day sell-a-thon event.  Additionally, there will be an online sale on September 16, 2009 @ ShopHousingWorks.Com - perfect for our out-of-town friends whom may never know the hands-on glory of this recherche rummage sale, but, thanks to the miracle of technology, may still manage to snag a few designer bargains nonetheless.  Livestyle ethos teaches us that an educated customer is the BEST customer ... word to SIMS (NOTE:  No, not the video game boys and girls).

Oh yeah, last, but, certainly not least, profits from these treasure filled sales go towards fighting the 2-headed monster that is AIDS and homelessness.  I dare Y.O.U. to give me a better cause to throw some money behind homie.  Recessionistas unite "Discount" does NOT have to be a dirty word. This is Livestyle.

NEW MUSIC: Drake - Fear (Dirty)(NO DJ)


Streaming Audio/Download Link: Drake- Fear (Dirty)(NO DJ)


"I think they call this, umm, venting." And that is exactly what he does. If Y.O.U. listen closely, Drake manages to get everything off of his chest without saying any names. I'm just going to assume that some of what he has to say has to do with his realization of what the industry is really like. Oh, and the infamous ex-mistress of his managed to get a few lines yet again. -_- But, none the less, "Fear" is a successful track in my eyes. If this is what he is releasing now, I wonder what's in store for the album. So Far Gone set expectations mega high. Question is, will everything else be up to par from here on out? Y.O.U. tell me.

Nicki Minaj Interview x Freestyle With Loni Swain Backstage @ The Chicago, IL Stop Of The AMW Tour.

HAPPY LABOR DAY 2009!


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Today, from sea to shining sea, we recognize the immense social and economic achievements and contributions of this great nation's workforce. We celebrate these industrious individuals the only way that we know how - with BBQ's and, in Brooklyn, the amazing annual West Indian Day Parade. Alas, we are also saddled with a palatable sense of sadness as well as we bid adieu to the Summer that we once knew. Yes, Labor Day marks the "official" unofficial end of the beach season.

Take the bitter with the sweet and get ready to kick off the Fall 2009 fashion season ... I'll see Y.O.U. @ Bryant Park (The MTV VMA after parties too!). Oh yeah, if you're still in school (which is a good thing) get ready to hit the books hardbody karate and cheat off of an Asian kid. LOL! I keed. I keed. HAPPY LABOR DAY 2009!

Raekwon Talks OB4CL2 x Why NY Is Back Live From Miami @ ICEWATERTV.


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: While I undoubtedly feel the big homie Raekwon on reppin' for N.ow Wh.Y C. (See) (NOTE: Yes, your introduction to the Supreme Alphabets is looooooooong over due. Perhaps that will become apart of this semesters required Livestyle curriculum ... stay tuned.), I must respectfully disagree with his or any other person's assertion that they are "bringing New York back". We aint never left. Whenever the world cherishes lyrical dexterity and high quality music once more, they'll know where to find us. Holla @ ya boy in BK!

The Fall 2009 Salvatore Ferragamo Landry High-Top Sneaker = Urban Meyer Lanksy Approved!


Available Online Here: Neimanmarcus.Com


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: After approximately 2.5 weeks of true Summer weather on the East Coast side of things, Autumn is already ushering in a cool that rivals that of the other side of my pillow. Don't get me wrong though, I welcome the transitional seasons of Spring and Fall for they allow Beau Brummel's such as myself and my lovely Livestyle Belles the very best opportunity to layer labels and looks and truly get fly. Now, male OR female, I am of the opinion that successful ensembles assemble @ the foot and gracefully work their way upwards. For that reason, I proudly bring to Y.O.U. the exquisite Fall 2009 Salvatore Ferragamo Landry High-Top Sneaker.

Before Jay-Z recently declared that this year it's "all black everything", it has long been accepted as fashion Gospel that "black is beautiful" (DISCLAIMER: In moderation though, don't bug the fuck out and O.D. on some Emo-Kid/Goth shit ... I would be forced to disown Y.O.U.).

Composed of succulent black calf leather with tonal suede trim and topstitching and advertising their legendary horseshoe logo, these high end high-tops put a proper modern twist on the classic Salvatore Ferragamo aesthetic. I mean, it's only right - these strapped up lace ups follow in the demanding traditions of this luxury footwear (and, now, full scale upscale clothing and accessories empire) firm responsible for introducing such innovations and the wedge and the cage heel. Who knows, these $550 kicks just might 1 day make it to the Palazzo Spini Feroni. Huh? Yeah, Google it! This is Livestyle!

The 2010 Holland & Holland By Overfinch Edition Range Rover = The ONLY Way To Ride "Shotgun".



"The Holland & Holland Range Rover by Overfinch, the "ultimate all purpose, all season luxury supercar" with a sporting edge billed as the most luxurious Range Rover ever made, will make its debut in the UK later this month. Limited to only 100 examples and expected to be priced at around $300,000, it will be a contender for the title of world's most expensive SUV, in competition with Spyker's Peking-to-Paris. Based on the supercharged 503 hp 2010 Range Rover, bespoke tuner Overfinch collaborated with Holland & Holland, maker of fine shotguns established in London in 1835 who hold two Royal Warrants, on the vehicle. A saddle-stitched leather interior is offset by a 32 piece, hand-carved woodwork set available in a selection of finishes. The rear console includes an integrated refrigerator, capable of chilling two full size champagne bottles, along with storage space for two flutes. The luggage compartment contains a beautiful hand-crafted bespoke gun cabinet with multiple drawers capable of holding up to eight crystal champagne flutes and whisky tumblers, as well as two cased shotguns, cartridges and all the accessories."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: The aftermarket enhanced customization of any product is tricky terrain, however, the course can become particularly perilous for those attempting to dramatically alter a prestige item. The tightrope wire that hovers above the bottomless pit of "tackiness" requires a nimble foot and a focused mind. In the auto world, when unsuccessful, Y.O.U. get a Daimler-Chrysler Maybach with "Louis Vuitton" guts, sitting on 32 inch rims. Yuck! When done correctly though, Y.O.U. get the 2010 Holland & Holland by Overfinch Edition Range Rover.

First of all, fuck "1-in-a-million", this bad boy is 1-in-100. Yeah, let that $300,000 gem sink in. The Overfinch group has been in the bespoke Range Rover business for close to 40 years and their exclusive derivative models have become synonymous with world class quality and refinement.

Now, if that wasn't good enough already, also factor in that this latest collaboration incorporates the talents of formidable firearm firm Holland & Holland - a company founded waaaaaaaaaay back in 1835 by Harris Holland (later to include his nephew and apprentice Henry Holland in 1876), notable for their precision innovations and having created some of the world's best known calibres - and Y.O.U. have the highly anticipated unveiling of what promises to be "The World's Most Luxurious Range Rover" ever.

I could easily ramble on about this ravishing special edition Range for days (available on the Range Rover Supercharged and TDV8 Range Rover Autobiography), but, I'ma let my man Overfinch COO, Neil Underwood tell it: "There has always been a great deal of talk in the media, speculating that Range Rovers could start approaching Bentley levels of luxury - for one hundred fortunate customers, that will now become a reality. We have worked closely with designers, engineers and the quite astonishing craftsmen of Holland & Holland, who have helped us create the most exclusive, most luxurious off-roader ever built.". Whoaaaaaaa! Say no more. Wait! I just realized that this super SUV comes with 2 shotguns! Holy shit!

The Air Jordan Retro 1 High Black/Shadow Grey "School Daze" Alpha Omega Drop = Black (x Shadow Grey) To The Future!


"In addition to the [Alpha/Omega Omega Psi Phi Air Jordan Retro 1 Hi Strap] that we posted the other day, Jordan Brand recently released the Shadow Grey Air Jordan Retro 1 High. An OG Air Jordan 1 colorway, the Shadow Grey Air Jordan Retro 1 High features a textured leather upper in Shadow Grey and Black. Although this colorway was an original OG Air Jordan 1 colorway, it's return is inspired by the Spike Lee's School Daze movie.

Tech Info:
Air Jordan I Retro High
332550-001 Black/Shadow Grey-White
$110.00

The Shadow Grey/School Daze/Alpha Omega Air Jordan Retro 1 High is set to release in September, but, has popped up already at select Jordan accounts."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Here @ Livestyle we are obsessed with excellence and exclusivity. The oh so precious jewel that most preprogrammed trendoids fail to grasp though is that, @ it's best, style neither has to be overly complicated nor carelessly contrived. Style is enduring and fashion ... well, fashion is not. Today I present to Y.O.U. the simple as a pimple yet über fly Air Jordan Retro 1 High Black/Shadow Grey "School Daze" Alpha Omega kicks.

These retros that Jordan Brand can't seem to let go have been previously released in a myriad of experimental colorways to varying results. Inspired by the black and grey colors of the Gamma-Phi-Gamma (G-Phi-G!) fraternity in Spike Lee's 2nd feature film, the classic 1988 examination of Black College life, School Daze, this latest drop is unequivocally good money.

Just in time for school, get your H.istorically B.lack C.ollege U.niversity steppin' on and pledge to cop yourself a pair of these reasonably priced $110 O.G. certified lefts-and-rights! We're kind of early for homecoming, huh? LOL. Don't trip, class is in session.
