LOCAL DIGS

I was saying I came across some good deals this past weekend. I'm not going to bore you with everything but I came across 2 really great pieces I wanted to share.

I'm a huge Tonite fan and i heart too so this purchase was a no brainer.

So sad to see a great brand end.

If you haven't heard yet, Tonite will no longer be in production. Fergie and Todd are such rad dudes. It really shocks me how some brands with no character or sense of branding can survive while brands who have an identity and actually try to push the industry somehow can't make it. Seriously as consumers we need to stop supporting these copycat brands. It just takes up space for good brands like Tonite.

Good news is that i heart was the American distributor so they are the only store stocking this luxury. Plus it is all 50% off.
I grab this polo for $32...
I'm heading back to get this Tonite jacket when I fully get out of bed.

The second piece is the slick navy crewneck from Engineered Garments from Stuart & Wright.


I wrote awhile back on S&W and their online e-commerce community Refinery 29. Stuart & Wright is becoming one of my favorite stores and possibly my favorite Brooklyn store. BEAUTIFUL STORE!!!
I really like their approach to retail. The 2 owners Alec Stuart and Celeste Wright, do just about everything and it shows. They have a firm grasp on the market and I feel when you have that understanding your not scared to take slight risk on your buying contrary to the rest of NYC boutique stores. Basically S&W remind me of the throwback stores, the real definition of boutique, because seasonally they may carry something that is not carried by every store in NYC.
Engineered Garments is crazy.. I'm working on a interview now. I have 2 degrees of separation from the Creative Director Daiki Suziki of Engineered Garments so stay tuned. If you have grown out of contemporary street scene Engineered Garments is a great brand to check out.
I bought this crewneck from Stuart & Wright for $65 (it was 50%)--- I got the deal but I'm not sure if the sale started yet. Keep posted with S&W they are having a major sale coming really soon. Could be today!!
