new hobby.

Everybody meet Stella Guerrera. I've decided to pick up skateboarding (no I'm not trying to be a hipster, I have a genuine curiosity and interest with the matter). Great timing though seeing as I start school again in 13 hours...





I bought my baby at So Hip It Hurts on Queen St West. I fell in love with the deck so I had to pick it. I broke her in real good on the first day, already got some scrapes on it... so mad, but it happens right?

Upcoming Events

After looking at my recommendations list of events on Last.fm, I realize that the list of Indie bands that will be playing this Fall in Toronto was EPIC.
Anyways, I thought I'd post up the list of Shows that I plan on attending or would like to.

The Naked and Famous @ lee's Palace (Tuesday August 9th 2011 - 8pm)
Two Door Cinema Club @ Kool Haus (Saturday September 17th 2011 -8pm) [100% Attending this show]
The Drums @ The Mod Club (Saturday October 1st, 2011 - 7 30pm)
Foster the People @ Sound Academy (Saturday October 1st, 2011 - 8pm)
The Naked and Famous @ Phoenix (Thursday October 6th, 2011 - 8pm)
Ra Ra Riots @ Lee's Palace (Thursday October 6th, 2011 8 30pm)
Friendly Fires @ Phoenix (Sunday 23 October, 2011 - 8pm) [90% I'll be attending this show]  

Although I would love to attend all of these shows, there are a few conflicts. At the moment though, I think I'll probably see Foster the People on the 1st of October and Ra Ra Riots on the 6th. 

With that being said, I plan on reviewing all of these bands and the lives in the upcoming weeks so please look forward to it.

clarification.

To clarify about our name for this blog. Selvedge is of course a term that exists within the fashion vocabulary. But in our case, it was meant to be used as a pun and (or) a double entendre. What's the other meaning? Well the word sounds a lot like "salvage", so in other words you're saying "salvage life". Which I thought was pretty cool and all. Hence we decided to go with this name. Hope this clears up any confusion.

Thank you for your time. You just wasted one minute, when you could have been doing something more productive like Facebook right?

basketball.

So yesterday I went around Kensington Market while I was waiting for my laundry's wash cycle to finish. During my round I stopped by Bungalow West and spotted some NBA jerseys and ran right to it. To my surprise they had a Ben Wallace Pistons jersey and a KG Timberwolves jersey. At $19.99 a piece I had just had to, as a fan of course. Now I need to get some nice shoes to go with 'em.

Pret-a-Porter

With earsplugged's first post, I thought it was time to showcase that we weren't your average Torontarian joe's. Or at least showcase our style and taste in clothing...and what we wore when we decided to commit to the blogging lifestyle.

Outfit:
  • Cardigan: BDG [Urban Outfitters]
  • Graphic tee: Blood Is The New Black [Urban Outfitters] 
  • Slim Fit Pants: [H&M]
  • Shoes: Toms [Little burgundy] 

Cardigan's may have not been such a great idea, seeing as how it was 20+ degrees outside but at least we weren't wearing popped collar golf shirts and shorts.

Outfit: 
  • Cardigan: [H&M]
  • V-neck tee 
  • Necklace: [ASOS]
  • Denim Jeans: Chris Skinny Jeans [West49]
  • Shoes: [ASOS]

Anyways, this is but a small snip it of  what is to come in the near future. We plan to update and show off more of what we wear, buy and simply love. Hopefully we can add some vintage items, foreign styles and theme outfits when we get the chance but for now I think with the combination of both our wardrobes, we have plenty to show.

Cheers~

P.S. For those who don't know about ASOS, it is an online clothing store in the UK and within the next few weeks, I plan to post a review up. So please look forward to it.

act one.

The birthing... the introduction... the beginning... commencing... what is a blog by two losers, one who thinks he knows fashion and the other who just does himself. Follow us as we embark on a dedicated journey on exposing our tastes in clothing and whatnot. We hope you find our entries engaging, relevant, different, new, cool, sexy, hot, stupid, interesting, retrospective, introspective, thought provoking and awesome.
