Sales + Long Weekends = Bliss

If there's one thing I know, it's that people love sales. So we're starting summer clearance with you in mind - get 25 - 50% off all your favorite summer gear, or for the boy scout, start stockpiling for back to school!

Flavour has guys and girls swim wear, denim, tees, tanks and shoes on sale now, and more to come - check out our sidewalk sale this Saturday on George St.

And since everyone has Canada Day to lounge around and nurse a hangover, come out to Splice on Thursday for Flavour night! Weezy, B.R. and Mikey will be playing all your favorite jams and the beer shall flow like wine :)

Here are some of my favorite summer looks for girls:

Don't chicken out....

Go Skateboarding Day | Recap!

BIG thanks to everyone who came out for Go Skateboarding day, Tuesday at the Peterborough skate park. Thanks to Elliot Powell at West 49 for being super rad, organizing the games throughout the day, handing out prizes, and hanging with me in the blazing sun - it was an amazing day with wicked weather. If you missed this....You messed up big time!

We had our boy DJ Who spinning records, Art Space had graffiti artists from Toronto on the scene painting murals, and of course so much rad skateboarding. There is so much talent in this town it's insane! Highest Ollie was a draw at 8 decks stacked that sent Chris Bishop and Dave Rider home with a prize pack from Ultimate skateboard distribution.

Again thank you everyone for coming out and supporting "go skateboarding" day. Don't forget we will be holding a skate contest with the dudes from Vans and Levis, August 13th on Hunter St. right beside Flavour. So if you missed Go Skateboarding Day this is your chance to make up for it. Hope to see you all there!

PEACE.

-Mikey.

Beats Rhymes & Life The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest

Today we present the official trailer for ‘Beats Rhymes & Life The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest’. Directed by Michael Rappaport, the movie releases in theaters on July 8th, 2011.

If you're not familiar with Tribe I highly suggest you go out & get any of their albums. Especially: the low end theory, midnight marauders & beats, rhymes & life. if you enjoy smooth mellow hip hop with great beats & intelligent rhymes - you'll dig Tribe.

Here is on my fav tracks...

Convocation Inspiration

Listen, I know those graduation robes are sexy - I mean, decades of nervous sweat and skin cells building up, fermenting in the hot Trent sun (shiver.....)

Try staying cool with beautiful and breezy dresses from Spanish label Lavande. The best part is you can wear them again all summer, because these dresses do it all - take 'em to the beach, a patio, out on a hot date or a hotter night at the club.

All dresses by Lavande, wedge booties by Jeffrey Campbell (go to Save Our Soles for more by J.C. and wicked feather hair extensions), belt by Lavande, sunglasses by Mercury, jewellery stylists own.
