We didn’t get any rings or bracelets for the fellas, but Cheap Monday didn’t leave the guys out completely.  These reversible plaid/gingham scarves ($40)  are lightweight enough for the spring season and they can be played around with to complete any look.  We got less than a handful of these  so make your way down to the shop with the quickness.

Cheap Monday, a fan favorite here at SMC, is a brand that delivers constant bangers season after season.  The past few seasons, their accessories have been nothing short of exceptional.  Dr. Evil Autumn is rocking the Cube Bracelet ($30) and the accompanying Cube Ring ($25).  These may not last long so make your way down to 2708 N. Halsted ASAP.

Cleveland’s Chip Da Ripper was in Chicago to shoot a video with GOOD music artist GLC and Big Sean. He stopped thru SMC to show us some love. Check out the Sir and Madame beanie in the video…

B and I have a long overdue vacation in the horizon, and thanks to little Ari, I am in the market for new swimwear. So in true form, my eyes are set on something 50’s inspired…

This weekend I got a call from Victor Spencer of Brainiac Society, informing me of the Solemates and BKc mention in the new Black Space single “New U” produced by J*Davey. Some of you may be familiar with his release To Serve with Love, if not look it up. In the meantime, listen to “New U” below, I absolutely love it! The perfect song for us to be mentioned. What do you think?

It’s getting to that point in the year where we don’t have to “layer like stupid” anymore. That only means one thing in Chicago: our two months of decent weather is on the way. Consequently, the SIR & Madame baseball raglan was created and it serves as a great layering piece or stand-alone item. The violet coloration adds a unique twist that we definitely appreciate (see full view of raglan here).

From ChiYorker:

“BBU, AKA Bin Laden Blowin Up AKA Black Brown and Ugly is a three man outfit from Chicago currently blowing up the Chicago music scene with their politically charged juke and Baltimore club sound. The three year old group popped on CY’s radar as guest performers at last summers Mobapalooza,  CY & Married to the Mob’s 2009 Lollapalooza afterparty. We caught up with Rich, Jasson and Mike on the eve of their Chicago concert with Mos Def for a shoot styled by Solemates.”

Peep the rest of the shoot here at ChiYorker and download BBU’s latest mixtape Fear of a Clear Channel Planet here.

*All items from the shoot are available now at Solemates…Chicago.*

Project Mayhem drops another video to follow up Lo Sweatas. Here we have a Davy Greenberg directed video of Lennon’s Go Ill. Ty Hill came ill with the beat and the cameos are full of my peeps. I’m kind of mad I wasn’t there for the hotel scene but UNC played Duke that night and I had to watch the boy after that. Thanks UNC for nothing.
