  1. "There are 3 traits that women have:

    -Hot

    -Single

    -Sane

    *Any given female has only two of these traits*

    therefore:

    If shes Single and Sane, shes not hot

    If shes Hot and Sane, shes not single

    If shes Hot and Single, shes not sane."

  2. I played a show tonight. It was fun. In the band, we do a lot of stuff with power tools and bang on pretty much anything for percussion. I dressed up a little bit so I could tell a story of what our music was about tonight: A Japanese engineer that created a robot which in turn helped to create more robots until turning against the human race, destroying the human race, and then having nothing left to live for except self-destruction.

    haha sounds like a similar premise to a band called tokyo police club.

  3. yeah i think i may have put them on after a few days of being wrinkled so there is stacking in the upper thigh. i also thought that looked a little strange. usually they dont have that kind of stacking. still should i consider hemming them? never really thought about it...maybe cuffing?

    i cant give you an exact nuumber but you could probably take around 2 inches off of them. just cuff them to see how much stacking you will have. and once you find how much you like. then take off however much you have cuffed with the proper amount of stacking that you like. if that makes sense

  4. recently bought a w35 new standards.

    end up very loose on the waist , as well as it turns out baggy, instead of the straight leg.

    i'm a true waist 37

    now i've ordered a 33 , hope it'll turn out fine. :P

    so , advice , for people whos getting new standard , best to size down 3-4

    it may sound crazy , but it might be just right for you

    :)

    honestly i would size down more than that. i'm almost 37 around my hip bones, where i wear my jeans, and i went with size 32. should have sized down to 31's as i still have and extra 1 1/2 inches that has stretched out making them really loose in my waist.

    and of course you can only size down enough to where your legs can still fit in them also.

  5. Stocking brands w/ different pricepoints is a good idea as long as you maintain the brand harmony in your shop. It means no zegna & apc on the same racks. It's important to have a strong concept.

    which is what we will be discussing next time we get together. whether we want to be like a smaller urban outfitters or go a tad more upscale. alot of it depends on what part of little rock we can find a storefront in.

  6. keep in mind that there are a lot of small designers you haven't heard of with smaller price points than these big brands. they will also have smaller minimums, and hopefully if some of them are manufacturing in the US they will have some styles for immediate delivery or with a short lead time. men's only in little rock does sound a little crazy tho.

    best thing to do is make friends with somebody to owns a store like the one you want to do but in a different market and beg for advice.

    thank you guys for all the advice.

    i've been trying to look around for smaller up-in-coming brands that have a tad lower price points like shades of greige but i'm not really finding a whole lot.

    keep the brands coming.

  7. i see where you're coming from and the market isn't fantastic out here but there is enough money and well dressed people in little rock to support something like this. there are alot of upscale womens boutiques. alot of large private schools with people in their teens and some college students with daddy's money. i realize we're going to have to carry alot of cheaper, more fashionably safe brands but i woudl also like to carry some nicer brands that would be more marketable to an internet base as well as people locally.

  8. me and some friends have been throwing the idea of opening a clothing boutique and have finally started doing some leg work. its been a dream for all of us and now were trying to make it a reality.

    i know its hard to get bigger designers and labels when your a beginner store with no reputation. but what are some brands that fit the styleforum asthetic (clean simple, not gaudy) that would be easy to stock for someone starting out?

    of course i would build a dream list of designers and labels to carry but i know thats not reality.

    how difficult would it be to carry A.P.C. denim and some clothes, fred perry, penguin, shades of greige, levi 501 (LVC??), B. son, RRL, and premium denim like KMW, iron heart, PBJ?

    even cheaper suiting like Z Zegna.

    also the type of clothing would be mid level, not outrageously priced, simple, quality, that has originality and something you don't see every day.

    keep in mind we're in little rock arkansas and there are pretty much 2 other mens stores. one is ridiculously expensive suiting (brioni, rl purple label, kiton, zegna) and the other is like a douchebag clubwear store.

    thanks in advance.
