Take Two Of These and Walk It Out

David Sedaris is reading at Books Inc, this eve. The Cabinet Shop has his performance at Carnegie Hall and its hilarious....if you're into books and stuff...NERD ALERT!

Great effing show tonight also: Dialated Peoples, The Alchemist, Aceyalone & 88-Keys. Mezzanine is a good sized venue usually filled with people who aren't afraid to get the party started. For some eats before hand try Tulan, a super good Vietnamese place that is real easy on the wallet.

Lucky...




Patrick O'dell is a rad photographer that shoots a ton for Thrasher, Nylon, Vice, etc....he also serves as photo editor for Vice. Hes got a fuss-less look that we admire.

Woodgrain

It's evident that here at The Cabinet Shop, we have an affinity for woods natural grains. Seems these days showing raw woodgrain is the design ticket in many industries. Above is the Bean Rocker from San Francisco Designers: Knoend. Using FFC certified maple wood and organic cotton, they are keepin' things green. We have also seen the Nike SB Woodgrain pack (below): And the Tony Alva pack from Van's...We're sure there is much more of this to come.

Crack Raider Razor Raider Razor....Sharp

Raider colors, A's logo, metallic silver elephant and brim...so dope! There are only 30 of these puppies in stock from Rock n Jocks, so get em while they're hot...white hot.

Live Fast Die Young

Gucci's Spring 09 runway looks were accompanied by the music of MGMT. Oh hipster bands on big buck runways are so hot Hansel !

Benign Beauty

Photographer, Massimo Vitale's photos create a unique effect. Seeming here a bit mundane, however in situ the images are blown up to a mural size. The large format allows for each aspect of the image to remain in focus, resulting in many mini life stories within the greater piece. 1,000 words a very cool online photo mag is where you can find this and some other rad photographers.

Hot Hot Heat

These cloth Gram Sneakers are perfect for the heat of summer. Stockholm based designers Alexis Holm and Anna Stenvi are the vision behind Gram. You can find through Revolve Clothing...picked up by Notcot.

The Men of Milan

The Men's Spring '09 looks are traipsing down the runways of Milan and so here is The Cabinet Shop's highlight reel of whats cookin' in our homeland:
Cavalli's modern day Romeo...a higher-waisted belt is making quite an appearance in a few of the lines. (Above)Dolce & Gabbana want you to wear your pajama's as outerwear. The drawstring, the fabric...the sexiness...(Above)

Costume National stays true to their signature look and light color pallet...appears as if the skinny tie is here to stay. An interesting note here is that they are using sustainable material such as silk bamboo and recycled aluminum to give the fabric that metallic sheen.

Hope this serves as your own inspiration...view more at Men's Style.
