Michael Jackson and his RollingStone moments

Last week, we have reported Michael Jackson’s shocking death, as well as the Google and Twitter downtime caused by the the amount of traffic after the announcement of his death, in our news blog. Indeed, the response is just overwhelming all over the net, something you can only expect in an event such as this. Michael Jackson will definitely be missed, and you can only assume that the tributes and the mourning will continue on for a couple more months.

You know how it is when someone was successful in leaving a mark in other people’s lives. His physical body may have passed away, but his music lives on.

As for RollingStone, they can always take pride in how their magazine covers have become, not merely collectors’ items, but a testament to Michael Jackson’s legendary existence.

Here’ are some of the classic RollingStone magazine covers that had Michael Jackson’s unforgettable face on them. The RollingStone website right now also launched a special Michael Jackson coverage, which includes their very own MJ cover stories and album reviews through the years.

It may be a time of deep mourning for us all, MJ fans and music-lovers alike, but essentially, now is also a time of celebration and reminiscing, for Michael Jackson’s controversial but very inpiring life, and how music and the world will never be the same again because he lived.

Coty made a list of 15 amazing Michael Jackson-inspired shirts. While we don’t have any MJ shirts in our catalog at the moment, House of the Gods has got some of the best shirt designs in great tradition of music and rock & roll, including The Rolling Stones, Blondie, Guns and Roses, Aerosmith, Kylie, Britney Spears, U2, Pink Floyd, Roxy Music, David Bowie, The Police and many more.

MM&W: How About Robot Stuff for Women?

Is it Wednesday yet? I’ve been waiting for the clock to strike twelve so I can post this for  Mix & Match Wednesdays! And now, the hour has come. Woot!

Forgive me for the giddiness, but my excitement is making me pee in my PJs. Tomorrow (fine, later) my friends and I will watch the Revenge of the Fallen, and I’m already getting my outfit ready. I know right, excited, much?

So.. you’d think robots are just for men? Wrong. Here’s something for the wimmen this time.

Today’s M&MW is just the perfect outfit to wear to a movie date with girlfriends. A sleeveless top, your favorite pair of jeans, a pair of chuck taylors and you’re all set. Accessorize with an eyecandy shoulder bag, and a classic black cap with simple pink girly detail, and voila, you’re ready to go.

I know, I know. You usually don’t pair a printed top with a printed belt, but let me get away with this just now. I’m trying to be loyal to the “robots” theme, and Vans happened to have this Miss Roboto belt design, too. Pretty awesome, huh.

Items in this set: (1) Vans Miss Roboto Tank Top; (2) Vans Classic Web Belt with Roboto details; (3) Big Fluff Octopus Cotton Shoulder Bag; (4) Bench Gee Jeep Cap; and (5) Vans Black Limited Edition Sun Glasses (they’re still on promo, hurry while supply lasts!)

Enjoy your night out with the girls!

*The Vans skinny jeans and the pink Chuck Taylors are not for sale in this site.

Robot T-shirts from Dephect

I knew it, it’s not just me. The Robot mania is all over town, and we can only blame it to the launch of the much-awaited second-installment to the Transformers saga that we all know and love.

Andy of HideYourArms.com came up with an awesome list of all robot shirts he could find online. He listed 101 of them. You’d think that’s all the robot shirts there are in the world, but hey, I can add 3 more to that list.

By the way, I am not playing favorites. It’s purely coincidental that I’m blogging about Dephect shirts again, when I blogged about them just recently. Can I help it if their shirt designs are so ‘IN’ these days? :)

So okayyy. Dephect features 3 funky robot shirt designs from its awesome collection.

(1) The Dephect Shadowbot Tshirt, available in flashy yellow and classic brown. If you’re into vintage fashion, this Shadowbot design is puurrrfect for you.

(2) The Dephect Megabot Shirt features the classic toy robot that, I bet, you had at one point in your childhood. (Not me though, I prefered dolls back then, thankyouverymuch). Oh, and, can someone please translate to me what those chinese characters mean? The Megabot Shirt is available in cool aqua and classic heather. Also in eco-friendly green.

(3) Finally, the Dephect Cut Master Shirt is, yes, you got that right, “CUT” Master, not “CUTE“. But heck, “Cute Master” could’ve been applicable too. This cartoony-looking mascot, err, robot, is without a doubt my favorite. They’re made to fit Men’s sizes, but I wouldn’t mind sporting the “I’m-wearing-my-boyfriend’s-shirt” look, if the print out front is something as cute as this. Available in crayola green and classic black.

Mix & Match Wednesdays: Get that casual summer look

I’ve always wanted to do this, yay, I actually have time now! :)

So.. every Wednesday, I will mix and match products from our catalog (as stylishly and fashionably as I can, I promise) to showcase here in this blog. Hopefully, this will give you suggestions on which items to get with what, and what outfit to wear when. I’ll try to input some of our latest promos too.

To start of, here’s a summer get-up for all yah wimmen who love a laid-back, casual look. Now I don’t know about you, but if I want a casual summer get-up, I’d go for khaki. ;)

Mix & Match Wednesdays

This is something I’d wear to the park, or to the beach (you can wear your favorite bikini underneath the shirt and shorts), or even to the mall, on a warm summer day. With comfortable khaki shorts (and a light-colored cotton shirt to match), you can sprawl comfortably on the grass or on the sand all you want while reading your favorite book or listening to your Ipod playlist!

Oh, and make sure to carry with you a sunblock, and of course, your loaded Ipod and/or a good book inside a spacious road-day bag.

Items in this set. Clothes: (1) Dephect Natural Beats Shirt, Spearmint; (2) Diplo Cargo Shorts, Khaki; Accessories: (3) Bench Road Day Bag, Green; (4) Bench Pleat Cap, Khaki; (5) Bench Trigger Belt, Khaki; (6) Green Vans Sunglasses, which you can have for FREE, for all orders above £50. (Watch out for this!!)

So yep, there goes our first MMW. Watch out for more to come! :) Have a fun and stylish summer everyone!
