Check out some of my favorite pieces for summer ’12 that are perfect for any night at Blossom Music Center, Jacob’s Pavilion, or even the Grog Shop. Let us know what you think!

Since the release of Be & D‘s ’Big City Sneaker’ collection, women everywhere are buzzing about this quirky and unique product. Be & D somehow has managed to do the impossible: morph everyone’s favorite hightop into a high fashion trend. These sneakers are a girl’s dream- they’re stylish, functional, and they give off the illusion that you’re wearing stilettos from a distance. What could be better? We just got the black and pink stiletto patterns in stock at NEXT Beachwood and are absolutely obsessed with them. Come try on a pair for yourself to see what the hype is all about!
I am in love with the Spring 2012 collection from Sprayground by DBD entitled, ‘Camo, Ammo.’ Sprayground was launched by David Ben-David, aka DBD, as a line of backpacks for street artists who needed to easily transport their spray cans around major cities. Only a year later, the company has expanded into other accessories such as duffle bags, tote bags, and laptop backpacks. Durability and inovation were two main goals that DBD kept in mind when creating the brand, and despite its increase in popularity, the product remains functional and unique, to this day. I have high hopes for this up and coming accessory line and can’t wait to see the Lookbooks for future seasons. Recently, one of my favorite NYC models, Lanya Lopez, took photos of herself in the subway rocking her Sprayground bag from the Spring collection:

I recently stumbled upon a website dedicated to street art, and I was instantly in awe of the artists’ raw talent. Check out some of the most innovative, ingenious art that’ll make you do a double take on the street!
Even though the state of Colorado is no stranger to street style, after being out in Aspen, CO last week, I was amazed by its start-up companies that are influencing the streetwear world. Colorado is way ahead of the game, and its young, bold population reflects the relaxed lifestyle us streetwear fans attempt to emulate in our personal lives. It may be the lack of oxygen in the air, but the people out West know how to do life right. The electrifying pulse that sets the tempo of the Rocky Mountain cities is contagious. After all, there is no adrenaline rush like snowboarding down a mountain 13,000 feet in the air!
One of my favorite representations of the CO lifestyle is the company Jiberish.
Started in 2005, Jiberish celebrates individual style with practicality. Its unique designs, high quality clothing, and trend-setting community make Jiberish stand out. Only after 7 short years, the brand is now nationally distributed in specialty stores, sold at Jiberish Vault and Jiberish LoHi boutiques in Park City, Utah and Denver, Colorado, and shipped to 16 countries around the world.

Personally, I love the selection of artists that make Jiberish‘s graphics.
But the best part of the brand is the Jiberish Family: an exclusive group of some of the sickest skiers, snowboarders, and skateboards on the West Coast, all of whose personal styles and talents set them apart on the streets.
Niciki Minaj‘s collection for OPI encompasses her vivacious personality, daring lyrics, and quirky style. Although the product hit stores in January, I just encountered it, on Friday, at Dino Palmeri Salon & Spa at LaPlace in Beachwood.
Obviously, I couldn’t make it out the door without buying ‘Save Me‘.
Trends this season for ladies are bright colors, loud patterns, and bold looks. NEXT has what you need to keep up with the fashion scene. These looks by Motel are perfect for the Summer and perfect for your wardrobe.
People are always talking about Living Large but I’d rather be “Livin’ XLARGE?”
Celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year, XLARGE clothing is continuing to make XLARGE moves. Their apparel is so much more than clothes, they represent a generation’s culture. Grown out of the synergy of 90′s California street cultures, XLARGE still represents the ideas and attitudes that inspired its origin 20 years ago.
This is the motto of 10 Deep. Their philosophy is that strength lies in the hands of an individual (10 fingers), not in the approval of one’s peers. This kind of attitude is what the brand is about. It’s derived from the same passion and attitude of the streets. The hip hop, skate, punk and graffiti subcultures of the streets is where 10 Deep developed. It’s a brand that reflects individuality and a no BS approach to life. Forget the haters, forget the opinions of others. The only voice to be heard is the one that drives you internally.
John Fleuvog is a quirky shoe designer from Vancouver BC Canada whose industrial, art-deco style shoes are unique in appearance and somewhat exclusive in number. With only 100 to 300 pairs of each style made available to retailers, John Fleuvog shoes are sometimes hard to come by. Fortunately for the Cleveland area, John Fleuvog shoes are available at NEXT. Keep reading to see how John Fleuvog shoes are made.
NEXT Beachwood is home to a variety of great footwear for men. This selection includes Wolverine 1000 Mile boots. These boots have been spotted on the feet of some very high-profile people.
