Inspiration happens at any point during the day or night. Ralph Lauren has created a brand that extends to every part of this planet (and probably beyond). Here he talks about what it takes to be great and his inspirations when designing. Enjoy.

Shoes are always a crucial part of fashion. Some people may say that an outfit is made or broken by what is worn at the foundation, the shoes. As much as I love a great pair of dress shoes I usually wear sneakers a majority of the time. I also love nostalgia and nothing is more nostalgic than old school pair of kicks!!! Especially the classic Patrick Ewing sneakers!!! Originally started in 1989 Patrick Ewing started his sneaker brand which lasted a few years with his success with the New York Knicks. The brand fizzled out but always made a lasting impression and had shoe enthusiasts wanting them to come back. Well, not we all have a chance at getting these again!! Check out more of the brand HERE and step up your footwear game.

Shopping is an experience. All the colors, fabrics and knickknacks are there to make you shop. Of course a happy browser becomes a buyer when...well, when they are happy. How do stores usually do this? Lollipops? Massages (I wish? Coupons? Na. Music! Duh!! There are actually studies which correlate music to happiness. I bring this up because I was in Urban Outfitters, shopping and doing my usual tradition of picking up everything I wanted then realizing that I didn't need; so I put it all back. Well, almost everything, I got this awesome tank top. Anyway, I was shopping when a song came on and I started bobbing my head and realized I couldn't place the artist. This song had a strong 80's style beat and I thought I heard all the great poppy 80's songs. I was so intrigued that I had to ask a customer specialist (Urban worker). Great thing about Urban Outfitters is that they are eager to help you out. My man came back to me and told me it is an artist named "Light Asylum" and the track name was PC. Popped the name in the good ol' computer and I found out this is a new artist! Regarldess if it is old or new I love this track. Makes me want to get up and start shaking my body everywhere. Take a listen to this track and enjoy!! I am about to play this mofo right now and shake my ass.
