Cloud 10 Status: Preppy: Cultivating Ivy Style


I definitely without a boat shoe of a doubt; will need this book Preppy: Cultivating Ivy Style by Jeffrey Banks and Doria De La Chapelle! Yall know my style is steeped in a very preppy tradition, Oxfords, cardigans, seersucker shorts, khaki, boat shoes, Polo! I live for that Prep Way of life and if you ascribe to this particular fashion sense this definitely seems like the book to own!

"The authoritative fashion history of the roots, growth, and offshoots of the quintessentially American preppy style.  Preppy Preppy: Cultivating Ivy Style Book offers the first definitive and in-depth volume on preppy fashion, exploring its evolution from its pragmatic origins and presence on elite Eastern campuses in America to its profound influence internationally and metamorphosis on the runway. For the first time, the preppy story is told completely and beautifully with iconic and never-before-published archival and editorial photographs and personal snapshots from the original Ivy elites.”


Look for it around October. Available for Pre-Order on Amazon

Cloud 10 Status: Book Rest Lamp


You know for years I've been meaning to buy a decent reading lamp for my side table... The fact that I've put that off for years now just reminds me at how I like to procrastinate.  Well Suck UK releases the Book Rest Lamp that not only gives you ample luminescence as well as keeping the exact page you were reading while making your Book Rest Lamp resemble a mini house.

I smell a Triple win all around for this one and it retails for about $60 U.S./Canadian.

Put your best foot out.

I love twitter! Its like the melting pot for all sneakerheads. I came across @roboticsole she and @MaRv3l0uS_S0leZ along with some other ladies are putting together a book on the sneaker culture and community. She reached out to me because she needs more SneakHERHeads to be featured.


Over the past few years, female sole lovers have emerged onto the scene kicking down all barriers and redefining the term sneakerhead! Not just known for their sick kick collections, females are knowledgeable about the culture; it's history, current releases and contributing to the community through various blogs, websites and online shows which sole purpose is to gather more followers and give female sneakerheads around the world both exposure and more recognition! SneakHERHead is a chapter in the upcoming book MY SOLE where female kick lovers are spotlighted and are given the opportunity to show the world their SOLES! If you are interested in being featured you must answer the following questions:
