All Apologies

To My Readers:

I would like to apologize for not living up to my part of the deal: posting daily blogs. I realize and understand that some of my casual readers look forward to seeing what was the next thing that I decided to put together. For me to take that away from them was not only a disgrace to the brand, but a degradation of the same.

I propose, due to the busy-ness that I have encountered, that someone help me to live up to my end of this bargain, or at the very least, call me out on my mistake (i.e.- not making daily posts, so on and so on).


In conclusion, here's the deal, I will, until someone comes along and extends the hand of help, that I will continue to make blog postings as often as I can, but if in the instance that a long period goes in between the last and next post, don't hesitate to hit me up about it.

Peace,

D. Landry

RECENT ACQUISITIONS (FROM 02/28-03/07/10)

What's up to you?

This is D. Landry, once again, ready to show you a few things that I have acquired for the wardrobe.


**NOTE** - I dont remember the EXACT order in which I purchased these items; however, I will do my best to put them in the correct order.

So, without any further delay, here they are:





       I bought these pieces the same day as the American Flag sweater. I like the first piece because it is a definite match with a previously acquired Mitchell & Ness snapback cap. Good ol' Denver Broncos. The second piece is a Yale University Bulldogs track jacket. This was a great addition to the wardrobe, seeing as I am a huge fan of the collegiate sport system. Blue + White = Cool + Smooth.



Thursday of last week, I received an order that I made for this particular cap. It is, by far, the most meaningful cap that I possess at the moment for the simple reason that it speaks VOLUMES. RBG'ed UP!!!



Also, on last week, I purchased a t-shirt at the B L A C K I E pre-tour show at the Indie Music house on Calumet. It was a very dope show!!! This is a hand painted design, not to mention a very limited run.



Finally, the coup d'etat of this post, the Nike Eggplant Foamposites!!! Yep, I got the Coppers and The Eggplants. Can I get the hat-trick with the blues? I WILL SEE.

Peace.

03/2/10 OUTFIT POST (A DAY LATE...)

What's the deal, readers?

         This is D. Landry, once again, with another post for the blog. I am doing a lot of things right now, mostly things unrelated to the blog, which takes me away from my mission of making daily posts. For this reason, I apologize for the lack of postings and I hope that in the future, I can have contributing posters that can help me out with other articles, as I will continue posting my outfits.

      Anyway, enough about that! Allow me to post the outfit that I wore on yesterday, the first day of March.

Check it out!!



                   This is a casual outfit that I put together before going out to DEAN's in downtown Houston, Texas. The beauty of this particular outfit is that it possesses a distinct balance between the casual (sweater & jeans) and the formal-esque pieces (the blazer & wool scarf). As many of you know, I am a big fan of the red/white/blue color combination. I forgot to put in the shoes that I wore with the outfit. Here is a picture of them below:


                                    

              These are a pair of Reebok Pumps, made in the likeness of the American flag. I dig them. Does anyone see what I was going for in the creation of this outfit? Good, I knew I could count on you. 
             I lucked out in a big way on the Houston Rockets away cap. It has been a long time since I have seen that hat in person, aside from the pictures on the internet. Surprise, surprise, I didn't buy it from LIDS!! 

The sweater was another thrift store find that I got at Blackbird Clothing on Westheimer. (Who says we Houstonians don't have a sense of fashion?)
