“The Web Trend Map plots the Internet’s leading names and domains onto the Tokyo Metro map. Domains and personalities are carefully selected through dialogue with map enthusiasts, and every domain is evaluated based on traffic, revenue, and character.”
As an infographic, it is very well executed. Click the link and scroll around the image – it’s quite impressive!

Good, durable, comfortable work shoes are so hard to come by. I can’t wait for this 12 piece premium women’s collection from the Timberland Boot Company to release in the fall.
The last two weeks of business casual, restricted me to two pairs of heels (the others would have meant death&blisters). Hellish for someone who likes to wear a different pair each day.
Developed as a tribute to the strong, independent women who shaped post-industrial America, the Fall 2009 debut collection features beautifully-crafted and purposeful footwear designed by and for women. Modern silhouettes, inspired by traditional menswear, are tailored with a feminine twist, and delicate cues evoke stories in which shoes were mended and embellished over time. [via Reuters]

Sheena Matheiken has pledged to wear one dress for one year (365 ways!) to raise money for the Akanksha Foundation — contributions go towards educational expenses for slum children in India. Track her progress over at The Uniform Project.
“There are 7 identical dresses, one for each day of the week. Every day I will reinvent the dress with layers, accessories and all kinds of accoutrements, the majority of which will be vintage, hand-made, or hand-me-down goodies.” ~ Sheena

And reinvent she does — each day, a different look. The dress was designed by her friend, Eliza Starbuck. I think she should consider selling that dress!

Michael Jackson was part of an older generation (I’m a 90’s kid) but I won’t contest the impact he’s had on the entertainment business. He wasn’t perfect, but he was Michael. The world will remember him for his chart-topping singles, theatrical big-budget music videos, and complex dance routines, and craaazy footwork.
Nobody does it like MJ. Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, with over 100 million copies sold worldwide. Remember when he first busted out the moonwalk? That man could DANCE.
Found out about his death after TMZ leaked the news (beating the Associated Press, CNN, and all the other networks by minutes, even hours). The news spread like wildfire. It was quite depressing.

I loved his taste in outerwear, like these BLING’d out over-the-top military jackets.
My favorite was the red leather motorcycle jacket MJ wore in “Beat It” with all the zippers. I saw someone wearing a replica of it at a concert, like the one below, and it was delicious — he found it abandoned in a closet somewhere in London.

The wool (or acrylic) in beanies always irritates my skin and musses up my hair. How come there aren’t more made of cotton?
A funny duo:
ALIFE x Kangol “Bugged” Beanie.
Those googly eyes look like Cookie Monster’s, though (Bioworld X Sesame Street fitteds).
