Dear Oki-Ni, Like Karmaloop.com, you are a great online clothing store. But I’m in a reinvesting in business and myself stage, and can’t afford the killer brands u stock. So please stop taunting me with the stone grey leather/grey sole $524AU Common Projects modern take on the desert boot in their new Safari kicks.

Dear Oki-Ni : There seems to be an error with currency as the pounds need to be changed to dollars but not the absolute amount. Kthx

Never Seen a Leather Jacket Pull this Off

Rick Owens Funnell Leather Jacket - Damn never seen such cool distressing transtion, now it could be a bit Michael Jackson but... since my decade old black Saba leather jacket was stolen i havent had that go to winter jacket. Rick Owens, damn u fashion blogs who swear by the label for leather.

It’s Not Fair. Stop It.

And today u have a new distressed Rick Owens leather jacket, which if u converted to Australian dollars might be $4,266AU. I have no idea what oki-ni stands for, but please stop doing what u do. I know what ur doing.If you don’t stop I might have to go over to the cheaper SouthWillard.com, who stock most of the Common Projects SS09 but not the Safari mids in the below colourtone/sole.

OK now i’ve gotta work hard 4 the money after docs appointment in Rye doh….. l8r h8rs. Hughesy joined twitter today on nova (i like when celebrities/politicians join twitter and have no friends/dont know what to do for a few days.. altho i think the sweet spots for radio stars is heavy live twittering during the show.. and then during the day have followup tweets to do with topics/issues/jokes that were tweeted about during show… anyway i digress) and hilariously @andrewsayer + @lilylauren rang up pimping twit and mtub meetups, word.

the next pair of jeans to replace the model before with 2 many holes now :)

OK I’ll just finish with some Diesel Thanaz 73J (my distressed jeans are now getting really distressed being SS06-7) as then we have coordinated jacket/jeans/kicks. Even if Zac Efron has oversaturated’em. It’s Australia not even the peeps working at the Diesel store in Chapel street have any difference between their own product line. (sometimes it’s bad being a product manager by trade)

Diesel Thanaz 73J - Skinny Blue Distressed

Now to go earn them hehe; $230US/$400AU shipped jeans, $550 kix shipped - $950…. and um the leather jacket @ $4500 not so practical - So just need $5500:) And where does that come in the priority list.. Top 50 ?:) The grey stone safari CP kix - top 5 tho. Dont u know it playa, outtee.

Yup instant distressed or be a hipster + go raw, make yer own jean holes, but just dont wash em, ick... and raws r way more expensive, the good stuff that is.
