From Borough to Burrow.

So... I've recovered from the road race. Running for 7.1 miles gave me a lot of time to think, and naturally my mind drifted to fashion and fall's latest trends.
Ok that's a total lie.
Actually all I really thought was "Why does this hurt so much?" "Why is my boyfriend trying to have a conversation with me when its obvious I'm about to pass out at mile 2?" and "Come on Brooke... 4 more miles to go... 3 more... just over that hill...."
It's also a lie because I could care less about fall's latest trends...
Besides the fact you were probably wearing them last year, I'm assuming the last thing you want is to look like everyone else. Brooklyn Sky is an innovative tee shirt design company from BK with such sentiments in mind. With a push to exist outside the latest tee-trends and an interesting brand philosophy, this site is certainly worth a look. They're big on the elephant which is done stylishly... but the image is a bit too political for my taste (I'm partial to the less aesthetically pleasing / socially conscious donkey). Anyway, the brand starting to generate quite a buzz, so catch them while they're hot.
If you're physically in New York you should head over to SoHo to a little shop called Burrow. The shop is run for and by the independent designers and artists themselves, giving customers direct access to the creators and their work. If you're not in NY, check out Burrow's "designers" page for links to many of the designers websites.
Lastly as you may or may not know this is Fashion Indie Week in NY (we'll just call this a NY dedicated post). Check out the site for a list of events and designers. $25 gets you in!
