Whoops. Singa-ternt-Rappa fever does it again. This is terrible.

I am one of the BIGGEST Brandy fans ever. Her alter ego Bran’ Nu, not so much.

Timbaland unleashes Brandy’s rap alter-ego BRAN’NU on these two cuts that have recently leaked from the upcoming Shock Value 2 album. You know what… Bran’Nu holds her own… but then again, she is spitting next to Timbaland and his mediocre goons.

Im getting tired of these teasers!!!!!

Ich assoziiere Timberland immer mit diesen Schuhen hier…

… am besten noch mit Hose in den Schuhen und losen Schnürsenkeln. Nicht ganz mein Fall, aber Timberland setzt noch einen drauf!! Mit diesem Zwischending aus Sneaker und Boot.. für die Frau auch mit der Farbe rosa. Nice, hmm?!?

Being from the beautiful city of Charleston, South Carolina I can count the number of days I’ve ever seen snow in my entire lifetime. I can also count the number of times I’ve ever been on a fully functioning construction site. I’m sure the same can be said for most of the young men I know. So sometimes it baffles me how the Timberland boot has become such a staple in many a Southern young man’s wardrobe.

This is not a post to bash the boot, most likely made famous by their prevalent flashing on late 90s BET videos and popular urban publications ALL filled with New Yorkers stomping around in their “Wheats”. But rather, like everything else we do on this site, try to encourage the individuals that visit this blog to think outside the [ box ], to elevate to a H1GHER level of thinking if you will (pun intended) so that together we can become the definition of a Southern Seersuckeered Hypebeast.

Which leads me back to the original question: To Timb’ or not to Timb’? SPOILER ALERT: there is no “right answer”. But for those individuals bold enough to step out side of the Timberland & Polo boot conviction, I present the L.L. Bean 10″ Thinsulate boot. Bask in its glory and imagine the sartorial bliss that the one could get lost in. Put some well cut jeans, a nice tee or rugby and a peacoat or some awesome (non Dickies) work wear pants, nice oxford shirt and a well-fitting jean jacket?  You’ll MURK them this or any other Winter. Now, keep in mind, “well-fitting” does not mean EMO tight, a’ight sparky? So don’t get shook already, we’re just starting on our little fashion adventure. It just means you’re rocking something that doesn’t fit like it was meant for your big brother.

Is this the right choice for everybody? No. But then again, we aren’t everybody are we?  Do I have a pair? At the time of this posting, alas, I do not *cough–size 11–cough* but I will. That’s a bet. And they friggin’ last forEVER.

And if you think I’m jockin’ Jay-Z on this one, check out the Sartorially Inclined blog ran by the big homie L.A.S. and his Bean Boot Project guest post.

Dessa ljuvliga Timberlands köpte vi åt Stella när vi var i NY förra våren. Vissa saker var liksom så sjukt fina så vi inte kunde låta bli att köpa dem lååååångt innan. Vi tänkte att de nog skulle kunna funka någon gång under vinterhalvåret 09/10, och redan nu funkar de i storlek. SÅ tuffa, och perfekta under höstkyliga dagar.

Many of you probably watched the AMAs (American Music Awards) last night but there were plenty of offenses last night that stuck out to me.  Lets start with the biggest fail of the night and that being Adam Lambert’s performance of “For Your Entertainment”.  Now I never heard the song until last night and I’m sure it sounds great on the radio, but his performance was god awful.  He shoved faces in his crotch area and kissed the keyboardist as though he’s into girls like that….or maybe that was a guy, to which would explain why he was into that.  Anyways, here’s the performance.

Next up is my two favorite entertainers, Shakira and J LO.  First, Shakira couldn’t catch a break as she arrived on the red carpet wearing the same dress J LO wore recently.  This isn’t the first time it happened as she was also wearing the same dress as Pink during the VMAs.  I demand a firing of her stylist.  Also, I wasn’t impressed by her performance.  She looked cute though, it’s not cool to be wearing stuff other celebs rocked,

Then, J Lo fell on her ass during the performance.  That’s what she get for stepping all over her dancers’ backs.  I knew, since I listened to the song off-rip, that I didn’t like the song but I thought it’d be a good performance and you know, it wasn’t that bad til she fell, but at least she got up like a pro.  Considering how big her ass is, I highly doubt she was hurt.  Here’s the video,

There there was Whitney Houston, crack really killed her voice.  I won’t even bore you with a video, just Google it.  Then Jay Z came on stage with some cornball 1990s comeback line saying “men lie, women lie but numbers don’t”, I gave that a *side eye*, supposedly a rip at 50 cent but he’s also irrelevant, so whatever.

Next, some unknown country group that Talyor Swift brought on tour beat out Lady Gaga for some award voted on by the fans, proving that Lady Gaga fans aren’t as obsessive as they appear to be, seriously, they were too “cool” to send in a text message to vote for her.  Another failure was the Timberland performance with Nelly Fortado and some girl named Soshy both of which I didn’t recognize at first.  Timberland looked exahusted after the performance and I had no idea what was going on in this song but whatever here’s the performance,

On to the things that went right.  I’m not fan of Gaga but I love her song Bad Romance.  She had a weird performance and even though I put it under weird, and overly dramatic with breaking the glass and some weird bird dance she was doing, she at least sang the song good enough,

Rihanna had a great performance, check it out, just happy she didn’t blind anyone when pointing lazers towards the audience,

Also the Jay Z/Alicia Keys song “New York” performance was good, as well as Alicia Key’s separate performance, though her background dancer looked like he was trying to battle dance with her.  Another big thing was that security around the stage must have been good.  No interruptions from Lil Mama or Kanye West…MTV could learn a thing or two about security.  The artists not in this post, I either didn’t watch or thought they did their usual thing.  Ok, now I’m for real this time, see you after Thanksgiving

Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson, have launched their own socially conscious fashion label

Not long ago, ethical fashion had an image problem. No one wanted to wear baggy-bottomed Thai fisherman’s trousers or an ecru smock top. Unflattering and unappealing, eco-fashion was best left to eco-warriors.

But there has been a definite swing over the past year. Ethical consumerism – from buying products made from recycled or renewable sources to supporting companies that adhere to fair trade principles – is on the rise. It is now cool to care.

So cool in fact, that the latest edition of Vogue has devoted 10 pages to ethical clothing. And London Fashion Week, which starts next week, will include an exhibition space dedicated to 13 ethical labels.

But it’s the celebrities behind the movement who are really making a difference. They’ve made ethical consumerism sexy. One is Bono. Last year, along with his wife, Ali Hewson, and designer Rogan Gregory, he launched Edun, a socially conscious fashion label.

Its clothes are made in locally run factories in Africa, South America and India and the company promotes trade rather than aid. The range is brilliantly designed: this autumn there are beautiful Art Nouveau printed silk dresses, elegant tie-neck chiffon blouses, urban skinny jeans and denim trench coats.

This year Bono also launched Project Red, a collaboration between Armani, Amex, Converse, Motorola and Gap. Each brand markets covetable and ecologically sound products under the Red banner; profits are donated to a fund fighting Aids, malaria and TB in Africa.

Project RED’s unofficial face is Scarlett Johansson, who appears in October’s issue of Vogue wearing Armani’s designs for the charity. The actress told the magazine: “We don’t have to live in a teepee and wear a hemp skirt to be conscious about what’s going on. Maybe somebody thinks, ‘It’s cool that she’s wearing the Red T-shirt, I’ll hop over to Gap and pick one up’.”

Gap, which launched the T-shirts in the spring ( parkas, hoodies and jeans will follow) isn’t the only store turning out fashionable and ethically produced clothes. Last week saw the launch of Adili, a website devoted to the top 25 ethical fashion labels, including Ciel, Patagonia, HUG and People Tree, which has a concession in Topshop, Oxford Circus.

People Tree has given the movement a boost with Trudie Styler as its new face. It has designed T-shirts in conjunction with Action Aid; 10 per cent of profits will go to help raise Fair Trade awareness in Asia, Africa and the Americas.

Small, independent fashion labels have also furrowed the green path. Brighton-based Enamore sells everything from pretty hand-made kimono tops to delicate hemp knickers ( far more appealing than they sound).

Chic shoes can be found at ethical boutiques such as Terra Plana, which designs shoes with recycled materials. And rather than squeezing into jeans made from cotton cultivated with pesticides, consumers can now choose brands such as Loomstate, whose eco-friendly designer jeans are sold at Harvey Nichols and Urban Outfitters.

Larger companies are catching on. Timberland, which sells eco-friendly footwear made with vegetable tanned leather and recycled rubber soles, is launching a reforestation project – it will plant one tree for each pair of boots sold.

And Marks & Spencer, which recently commissioned a survey that found that 78 per cent of shoppers wanted to know more about the way products were made, has just launched its own Fair Trade line.

Tesco, meanwhile, is to sell a range of organic clothing designed by Katherine Hamnett, a long-time crusader for ethical fashion.

Of course, it can be argued that eco-fashion is an oxymoron. How can eco-friendliness fit with so ephemeral an industry? The most significant progress should perhaps come from consumers: buying less, and more ethically, could be the most ecologically sound way to shop.

Definitivamente, hoje NÃO é um dia qualquer!

São exatamente 12h36 e vou fazer uma breve descrição do meu dia até agora! Atenção: é exatamente dessa forma que estou vendo e sentindo o dia de hoje. E esse post tem o propósito de ser um depositário da minha ira! hahaha (entenda essa risada como sendo bem sarcástica…. sobre mim mesma!)

Às 3h00 acordei e não consegui mais dormi. Só uns cochilos, bem meia boca. Não me acomodava na cama de jeito nenhum!

Levantei, bem de mau-humor, e preparei o café da manhã do Dú e o lanche para ele levar, já que hoje ele não vem almoçar em casa… tem reunião!

Coitado me fez umas perguntas e eu fui bem “cavala”… sorry Dú, mas o mau humor de hoje está bravo!

Voltei para cama e levantei às 9h20. Olhei pela janela e estava garoando. Me arrumei para ir à aula de inglês, com um pouco mais de camada que o normal… É, nesses dias literalmente nos tornamos cebolas ambulantes, cheios de camadas de roupa.

Preparei meu café da manhã, mas só consegui comer meio pão. O mau humor também me tira o apetite.

Quando saí de casa, atrasada, a garoa havia se transformado em chuva. Não dava mais para ir de bike, e economizar tempo. Voltei, peguei o guarda-chuva e fui para a aula.

O caminho foi torturante! Um vento dos infernos. Cortante de tão gelado e claro o guarda-chuva não adiantou de nada. Primeiro porque vinha chuva de tudo quanto era lado e segundo porque aquela PORCARIA de guarda-chuva virava a cada dois passos. Não é exagero!

Em outro dia isso poderia ter sido hilário, mas hoje foi… foi… não consigo nem qualificar!

Cheguei na aula MOLHADA e suada! Pode? Tirei umas camadas de roupa e logo fiquei morrendo de frio.

A aula estava irritantemente irritante. Não entendia nada do vídeo. E o vídeo era de uma tragédia que aconteceu semana passada da Inglaterra. Só para completar o meu mau humor!

No intervalo queria tomar um café para me esquentar um pouco, mas claro: eu não tinha nem uma P. moeda! E o meu mau humor não me permitia pedir emprestado. Fiquei sentadinha comendo uma barrinha de cereal HORRÍVEL que eu tinha na minha mala!

Finalmente a aula acaba, mas a chuva e o vento NÃO!

O caminho de volta foi outra tortura. Pelo menos tinha uma padaria no meio do caminho. O pão tinha acabado e eu não tinha a menor condição de ir até o mercado com esse tempo! Tudo bem que foi um roubo, mais que o dobro do preço. Mas nessas horas tudo vale!

Depois de ter que desvirar o guarda-chuva por DIVERSAS vezes e desviar de várias bicicletas, porque é claro, em momentos como esses é cada um por si, e era bicicleta cruzando por todo lado sem a menor preocupação com pedestre, todo mundo queria mesmo era fugir da chuva!

Cheguei em casa, inclusive com os cabelos molhados! Dá para imaginar como estava o vento? A roupa nem se fala! O jeans literalmente molhado. Graças a Deus meu velho e indispensável Timberland estava no meu pé. O pé ficou seco, mas a meia na altura do tornozelo, também estava molhada… hahaha… essa risada é uma demonstração de esperança… quem sabe amanhã, quando eu ler esse relato horrendo, eu não ria de mim mesma?

É isso aí. Essa foi a minha única motivação de hoje. Escrever esse post horrível! Agora vou ficar no sofá, debaixo do cobertor esperando por amanhã! Ah! Isso porque o Dú me deu uma tarefa interessantíssima (mais sarcasmo): fazer uma pesquisa sobre o amado Lula (isso sim que é sarcasmo) para uma apresentação no MBA!

Bye-bye!

Major companies going green include Starbucks, Kimberly-Clark, Timberland, Nissan and Starbucks.

These multinationals aren’t without their problems or critics, but they seem to be trying to adopt greater corporate sustainability and responsibility.

Shifting his attention to altruistic causes, Wyclef Jean’s recent collaboration with Timberland has less to do with his music than it does with the extensive charity work he’s taken on in recent years. The Timberland Yéle Haiti Earthkeepers, a collection of 16 boots designed for men, women and kids, uses recycled and organic materials with the goal of raising awareness about environmental causes in Wyclef’s native Haiti.

Named for the artist’s Yéle Haiti organization—a charitable grassroots movement working to implement programs in education, sports, the arts and the environment—the eco-conscious footwear specifically aims to call attention to reforestation in the country.

The boots, constructed of 100% recycled PET and 100% organic striped cotton linings, organic cotton uppers and Green Rubber lug outsoles, also stay the distance with extremely durable Taslan laces and rustproof hardware.

A set of t-shirts, designed by Haitian artist Badio Joseph depicting the organization’s symbolic tree completes the collection.

The shoes and tees sell online and from Timberland stores with prices ranging from $35-155, with a portion of proceeds benefiting Yéle Haiti.

Check out a few more images after the jump.

Listen here Timberland ft Justin Timberlake “Crazy Girl”

Timberland Earth Keepers $160.

In 1973 Mr. Nathan Swartz and family created the Timberland Boot Co. and the original water-proof boot. The company has been an innovator and leader in the footwear industry since its inception over 30 years ago. Today the company leads the sustainability movement using only recyclable and renewable materials which are manufactured using solar and wind energy. In the early 90’s, the hip-hop movement adopted the classic 6″ wheat Timberland boot as the casual footwear of choice, but as Nike exploded into streetwear with the high top dunks and the Jordans, Timberlands took a backseat in everyone’s closet.

Mr. West in "Tims"

I remember seeing Mr. West in this picture awhile back and it gave me a different view on the boots.  They give this casual outfit a rugged American work feel that is definitely fresh. Then I saw him wearing them again in the “Make Her Say” music video and that’s when I was convinced. Timberland boots are going to be the last thing to be considered “trendy” this season, but I think they’re a good pick for any guy’s closet if he’s looking to up his footwear. Here’s a shot of my take on Tims.
