Alternative Apparel May 26, 2010

ChrisRstyle: I clearly haven’t spent as much time as I should at Caruso Caruso — I had absolutely no idea that they carry my favorite Alternative Apparel hoodies! Much cheaper than Free City (and just as comfortable and good-looking). Bought a light blue one, then thought I lost it until it surfaced on my mother this past weekend. Needless to say, she still hasn’t given it back!

SamlovesBham: Hope you all enjoyed the weekend with the art fair, parade, and farmers market the street of downtown Bham were packed! So with all this great weather we’ve been having Birmingham is definitely the ideal place to be. You can visit the parks, get some ice cream in town (Cold Stone and Kilwin’s are both AMAZING), grab a bite to eat and be sure to sit at one of the many outdoor patios. Enjoy your free time because summer is just around the corner! :)

Mike Posner @ Groves! April 20, 2010

Filed under: Music — ChrisRstyle @ 2:15 pm

ChrisRstyle: The other day I was walking through the halls of Groves, like any other normal day, and came across a scene that was very unordinary.  My friend and I were rushing to our next class and walked right past Mike Posner, which was a huge shock to us because we’re crazy fans of this emerging singer, songwriter and producer… who actually attended high school at Groves! He was just there, like walking in the halls like it was no big deal. One thing to note, he has excellent style.  His album is coming out this summer and I even heard his single, “Cooler Than Me” on the radio yesterday — SO EXCITING!

 

Summer Weather April 20, 2010

Filed under: Birmingham Stores, Fashion — ChrisRstyle @ 2:11 pm

ChrisRstyle: Last week, it was 80 degrees outside, and let me just tell you I thanked whoever is up there.  I have been dying to wear my spring clothes basically since the winter started.  I was excited for cold clothes for about the first day, and then realized I missed the warmth and shorts and short sleeves.  Here are some great picks for spring!

SamlovesBham: Hey girls, prom season has arrived! I found my dress and shoes, but if you haven’t I suggest shopping around Downtown Birmingham. I spotted a lot of gorgeous dresses and shoes (and who would miss an opportunity for new shoes?). Cinderella’s Attic (420 E. Frank) has some fantastic vintage dresses and shoes. If you are a serious shoe lover you HAVE to check out the shoes at Tender (271 W. Maple) —  a little on the pricey side, but soooo gorgeous!
