Happy New Year!

Happy New Year All! I hope this year brings you enormous joy.

2010 is done and over with however there remain some memories that I would lovvvve to share with you guys.

I was priviledged to be at Maye Hunta's video shoot of Owo Faaji in Lagos, Nigeria. This was my first time being on set. Let me tell you that shooting a video is lot of work. Never the less I didn't have to do much but seat and watch :D and take pictures.

A big shout out to Maye Hunta, DJ T, Uti, Nel Cater, ADK, Loadz and all those who showed me love on the set. I really appreciate it.

Don't forget to ff me on twitter (@allenandfifth) to get all the exclusives on Allen & Fifth!

On Shades

Ever since I got hold of a friend's hot pink shades, its been hard to part with it (besides its mine now). Colorful shades are fun, free, lively and cool...and as far as I am concerned they suit all ages when worn right of course.

You can pair them up with pretty much anything. It really doesn't matter whether you coordinate your outfit...matching isn't necessarily the way to go. If you do match then it also serves as the perfect accessory.

Colorful shades are amazing casual-urban-wear complements. Picture you on a sunny day in a sheer tee, either plain or graphic, paired with a pair of black jeans with mustard sandals...and ofcourse your mustard shades on. Don't you look divine? I think you do too.

Finally you don't have to spend a whole lot of money to get one of these....the pair I rock (and rock well) go for about $5....and I feel like a million bucks in them :).

Until next time,
Wear Out Loud!

Pop Culture: Lego Matrix Trinity

I am gonna try to maintain a theme on this blog. I hereby declare a Pop Culture segment (lets see how this goes) :-)

Today's post isn't entirely about A&5th (NO, it's a ploy to suck you in and get your attention). Today's post is about Neo and Mr. Anderson (if you haven't seen the Matrix you should go rent the trilogy ASAP). A friend of mine shared this video months ago and I'm just getting around to sharing it with you guys (sowwie). Enjoy!




Side By Side Comparison...these guys are amazing techies

Around *The Corner* Of Allen & Fifth

So it’s mid month (PAY DAY! whoop! whoop!) and I’m happy just as I am every pay day. Hope your April started off right. If not, I hope the second half of it turns out much better than the first.

Some of you know me as edede…that was the blog I had before I decided to create an Allen & Fifth blog. Well I have been slacking majorly on edede and as much as I claim to be the awesome multi-tasker, I think its best that I maintain one blog for now…drum roll please…and that blog is Allen & Fifth!

As for updates on what’s going on Around “The Corner” of Allen & Fifth-->

1. The UCONN show went well. I have to commend Yinka Edwards and team for making it a success. I also have to thank Blueprint by Ronke for her support through out the event. A huge thanks to Cornell U again (they know why).

2. New Allen & Fifth designs are well in the works. Actually they are well in production and will be released in a couple of days. I will be posting some sneak peek pics on twitter so follow me @allenandfifth if you want to be among the first to see the new freshness.

3. 5 new design concepts have been finalized for the summer. Production for these designs is going to roll out sometime in May/June for release in July. Its looking like they will be unleashed in Lagos first though (sorry Yankee). Details aren’t finalized but I’ll keep you posted.

4. So as you might know, I am a music enthusiast and when I personally know a good artist I go all out. Anywho, YESI is releasing his album pretty soon. Some of you heard Yesi’s work on my old site and loved it #youknowwhoyouare. His latest single G.R.A is off the charts. Its amazing and I am just waiting for his CD. You know amma be gettin *mines*. I’m trynna work something on the side with Yesi so Residents of A&5th can get a sweet deal, but we’ll see….(abi Yesi? haha)

5. I will be @ In the Spotlight. May 8th. See Flyer below for details:

That’s pretty much what’s going on around *The Corner*. Summer is here so don’t dull. Get your tees while they are here.

Take advantage of the 'STUDENT' discount code before I retire it. Yes, even if you aren’t a student you can still use it. Let’s just say it’s my way of showing respect to UNIs for showing me love.

Until next time…
