Times is hard and we need shoes that will go the extra mile.

Just discovered two incredible pairs of convertible shoes via Cyanatrend blog

First pair: Nat-2 shoes convert from sneakers into sandals....







Second pair: Goodie 2 Shoes by Natalie Cosette Thorne

The Nat-2 shoes are currently on sale for a pretty tempting price (links on their website), while the Goodies seem to just be prototypes at the moment.

Colette in Paris is THE high temple of cool, a music store a book store a clothing store a restaurant a kick-it spot a gallery. I want to go. I will go, but a video will have to do for now.

SEIBEI

Every once in a while I come across something that makes me sad I am not really a t-shirt wearer. Via the fabulous Ms. Star, I discovered this hilarious SEIBEI shirt.

Art Lebedev

I came across this group after being linked to the finger-hole hoodies and discovered a treasure trove of cool stuff from this massive Russian design firm.

They have lots of things for sale and other things like their posters (above) are free to download and print as you wish.

Medicine for Melancholy

I'm really excited about this film. I still haven't seen it (and I'm sure it's gonna be a long time before it makes it my way), but independent cinema about two black indie rock hipsters, having a one night stand, having serious discussions, and riding bikes? I'm there! Check out the website about Medicine for Melancholy, join their mailing list, and find ways to support this exciting project. Support GOOD black independent CINEMA!



Update (via Tuckergurl):
IFC Films has acquired the worldwide rights to writer-director Barry Jenkins' "Medicine for Melancholy." The film is in competition at this week's Los Angeles Film Festival, and will be released in theaters by IFC in 2009. "Medicine for Melancholy is one of the great American discoveries of the year," said Jonathan Sehring, President of IFC Entertainment in a statement. "Barry Jenkins has delivered an intelligent, heartfelt and often funny universal love story and introduced two brilliant performers to the feature film world - Wyatt Cenac and Tracey Heggins. The film will not only inspire and ignite great discussions among the African-American community, but is sure to engage audiences across the globe."
