more about “Saturday Night Live – Taylor Swift Mo…“, posted with vodpod

I stayed in for some quality “me time” last night with some popcorn, mountain dew, and a hilarious Saturday Night Live with host/musical guest, Taylor Swift. The funniest moment for me was the opening monologue where Taylor rips into her ex Joe Jonas, bet he feels like a dumbass now, and took a few jabs at Kanye West.This definitely is worth a look, enjoy!

I’d love to work in a office with this amazing new furniture by Pearson Lloyd. I just love this style, minimalist look, clean lines, bubbly, neutral colors. It will give any office a modern and clean look. Check out more pictures in the gallery.

The context for this range is the maturing market around office “breakout” areas – it’s all about how to be productive away from your desk

Simply amazing. Is there a bigger hip-hop artist than Jay-Z? Who else can jump on stage with Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Coldplay and now U2. Hov spits a new political freestyle on this Sunday Bloody Sunday remix performed at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin, Germany. After the jump, check out Hov’s performance of Empire State of Mind. I can’t wait for this tour with Young Jeezy in 2010. March 3rd at Verizon Center, who’s going with me??

Fresh Classic: The Pea Coat

I read a great article from Valet Magazine on the Pea Coat titled: The Anatomy of a Classic. The pea coat is extremely versatile as it can be worn with a grey American Apparel tee or a dress shirt and sweater combo.

Never underestimate the power of a classic. When you put on a pea coat, you’re wearing a bit of world history on your back. And whether it’s the clean lines, the simple military styling or the rugged undertones, no man looks bad in a pea coat. It can be worn with nearly everything—and it’s been around so long, it basically has been.

Every fashion label from Prada to Old Navy makes a version. But, Valet Mag says if you’re going to wear something as iconic as a pea coat, why not get the Classic Pea Coat at Schott NYC ($188). Another good example is the Military Pea Coat from Martin+Osa (pictured below). The Martin+Osa coat was well designed, warm and comfortable. Unfortunately for me, having a slimmer build, it was a bit loose and the sleeves were a bit long. In my opinion, the key with pea coats is to make sure they’re not too long and that they fit the body well. So, if you’re like me and the European/Japanese brands fit you better than the American brands, then I recommend Schott’s Slim Fit model ($215) and I suggest checking out H&M, Zara, or one of the higher end European/Japanese brands.

Congratulations Yankees!!!

I’m not a die hard baseball fan, but I do love post-season baseball. I’ve realized any competitive sport is amazing to watch because you’re watching the best of the best lay it on the line. 2009 has had one of the best post-seasons I’ve ever seen and this World Series topped them all. Congratulations to the New York Yankees on their 27th World Championship! They were the complete team with pitching from CC, Pettitte, Mo and batting from Jeter, Matsui, and ARod. The Phillies put up a valiant effort and Chase Utley was just lights out, breaking records, the dude just had ice through his veins. New York, New York … city of dreams, wish I was there to witness the festivities. Enjoy the moment people.

Fresh Look: Supra Skytop

I’ve been reading about Supra Skytop for a while now, but felt they were always too expensive to invest in. It seems like they’ve come out with several different designs and looks, some which fall within a decent price range. I hear they are quite comfortable and very durable, as they were originally made for skaters.

I found the “Black Gunny TUF” model at Factory413 for $120 (via www.nicekicks.com). They’re pretty sharp, plus they come in a variety of colors. I’d say my favorites are the Black Gunny TUF (on the left), Red Patent, Bronze, Red Black Patent, and Distressed Black Gold.

I’ll be looking into a pair soon, so I recommend checking them out. Let me know what you think of them.

This beat goes HARD, Rihanna goes HARD, Jeezy goes … you get the point, so no wonder it’s called Hard. The first single was lukewarm, though it’s growing on me, but this one is amazing, check it out!

My favorite song of ‘09 gets the video treatment and it’s amazing! Alicia Keys beautifully sings the hook on the new New York anthem while Jay-Z takes you on a tour through NYC with his story-telling flow. The video concept is very cool with the still transition pictures and black & white application. This song reignites my desire to live in the big apple, it’s such a vibrant city. Enjoy!
