THE COMMERCIAL MIX SALE for PLNDR

I had the privilege to curate another sale for PLNDR and this time around I took the approach of putting together looks for it, a sort of MATCH UP PLNDR sale. There were a lot of solid pieces to choose from and I settled on the below because these are pieces I would wear myself. There is something for a skater dude, street dude, prep dude, and work wear dude. I wanted to show a range of styles because I feel street wear isn't just one look. A dude could have all these pieces in his closet and decide that one day he is going to lean more street and another day lean more prep.

Check out the sale and cop some pieces.  Happy shopping.

KICKS: Gourmet Quadici X Primitive Sneaker - $140

Sometimes there is a sneaker that you just want and this one is it.  I have been a huge fan of the Quadici since inception.  It has all the right elements, so when I saw this I pretty much obsessed over it.  Unfortunately, I couldn't pull the trigger yet, but I did participate in the March Madness Gourmet mystery box (details below).  So the fella that is packing my box, please be nice.

Akomplice Spring Lookbook : 2 Days in LA

The fellas over at Akomplice sent over some shots from their Spring 12 line.  What I like about the line is the simple silhouettes and the use of color blocking.  Real nice work.

KARMALOOP: MONARK BOX - MISHKA

It's time to sign up for the next MONARK Box by MISHKA, which is delivering late MARCH.

A little background: MONARK is Karmaloop’s monthly exclusive, elite membership program, with initial subscription deliveries in late January 2012.

www.Karmaloop.com/MONARK (also follow on Twitter: @MONARKBox)

Each month, MONARK members will receive a premium box and a diplomatic pouch delivered to their door with a limited edition clothing item and accessory exclusive to MONARK members. Members will also have the ability to shop MONARK-only sales and receive VIP treatment (for advance exclusive sales) from Karmaloop.com and PLNDR.com.

On top of many other attributes, perhaps the best thing about MONARK is this: although each Box includes exclusive, premium items available only to MONARK subscribers, the retail value of the items contained in each MONARK Box will always exceed the cost of your subscription (per month). This makes it both exclusive AND a great value, a definite rarity in the apparel and footwear universe.

MONARK PRICING:

- 3 months: $119.95

- 6 months: $219.95

- 12 months: $399.95

- Shipping for MONARK is free to U.S. residents.

- NOTE: No single month subscriptions available
