Got mine!!! ALL FOR THE LOVE OF LO-A Glimpse at Fanatical Collectors of Ralph Lauren clothing

So I hear a knock on the door, and I when I get there, the mailman had already dropped off a package, with my name on it. I open it up..and there it is... a book. Not just any book, but the ALL FOR THE LOVE OF 'LO A Glimpse at fanatical collectors of Ralph Lauren clothing by Daniel Leef and Roger Ubina.

If your a collector of Polo Ralph Lauren clothing, accessories and what not, this is a great addition to your collection. A collection in itself. A collection of Pictures of people taken over the years, rocking some of the flyest LO pieces from the late 80s to mid 90s (which to most were POLO's best years)

As someone whose been wearing Polo for over 20 years, I look through this book, and its like a trip down memory lane, as I revisit some of my favorite pieces, as well as get another look at people who ain't here no more, immortalized in pictures. In a coffee table book format . I got mine, you should get yours. Actually, you can pick one up at

SUMMER TIME HEAT.....FOR YOUR FEET

Ok, its July, in case you didn't know...Its Summer. Yeah I know, Summer, the hottest, shortest season. Sundresses, short shorts, skirts, tees and cargo shorts, camos and Js, yada yada... The list goes on and on. One thing about Summer, It can bring varieties of Summer Time Heat...for your Feet. I've been seeing online and on social media, a couple of sneakers that I'm sure, if room in my closet and wallet allowed, I would be rocking these with a nice pair of shorts, nice tee, button up or polo. Bucket hat (optional)

peep the heat


NIKE AIR FORCE 1s LADY LIBERTYS

These joints put the H in Heat. Nice basic rust/red upper color, nice clean white sole..




But peep the madness...when they hit the heat, or you make heat from just rubbing them, they start to change, to a green, a STATUE OF LIBERTY Green. Wow....the coolest thing I seen since those snow gloves Freezy Freakys
(alot of y'all probably too young to remember)




One of my favorites....NEW BALANCE 997s (grey and White)




I didn't get up on these first time around, and the 2nd time around, i didn't, but if there is a restock, I would definately get up on these...I don't care WHO think they ugly

NIKE DUNK SB DE LA SOUL (low)




what White party would be complete if you don't rock a pair of these.
nice, simple, easy,

LO LIFE BBQ 2015

Y'all All know, Regardless of what the weather is doing outside...Raining, Cloudy, cool, or less than 85 degrees....It is technically Summer. When it comes to Summer, you think of parties, pools, all white parties, and BBQs...

And this year, ..somewhere in Brooklyn (or Queens, depending on what side you enter) in Highland Park, was the LO LIFE BBQ....this one makes it the 10th ANNUAL ...so LO LIFES been doing it in the park for 10 joints!!! Now, this is the event of the year, where Everyone, Lo Lifes (New and Old) Lo heads, Lo enthusiasts, Lo Lovers, and Everyone who LOVES Everything Hip Hop and Fashion come together to Meet, Greet and Eat.


With all this 'LO goin on, Even Ralph came out to show some Love. Noooo Not Ralph Lauren, but the Original Ralph (to us Bk hip hop fans) UNCLE Ralph McDaniels...of Video Music Box fame. Don't act like you Always had CABLE....When it came to things Hip Hop and Hip Hop culture going down in the city, especially in Brooklyn, Uncle Ralph was there bringing it to us in our living rooms, bedrooms, etc. So Why Not show Love at the Lo Life BBQ.

I was NOT there, Again, but there were countless phone cameras, point and shoot cameras and 'professional' cameras taking pics. So of course these are courtesy of other peoples..
