My Puma’s Are House Broken
by Logan Steele · Leave a Comment
1948 brought in the birth of Puma to the athletic apparel market. Founder, Rudolf Dassler had decided to depart from his brother and partner, Adi Dassler and the little company they created called Adidas. Based out of its headquarters in Herzogenaurach, West Germany, Puma started manufacturing. This gave way to the inception of one of its first successes, the Puma “Atom”. The company began to gain momentum also introducing the “Formstripe” to the market the same year. This same shoe would also achieve recognition almost ten years later and be the first of many exciting athletic shoe innovations from Puma. Shoes such as the “King” and the “Suede”, also known as the “Clyde” would dawn the feet of World Cup and Olympic Athletes and further project its place as a household name.
Now history of Puma aside, I remember these sneakers from the 1980’s. To me it will forever be the official sneaker of Beat Street, “Somebody say Ramone!” I remember being about 8 years old and asking my Mom for a pair of white high-top “First Rounds” with the red stripe, for Christmas. I was convinced that they would single handily, improve my “popping”, “locking” and “body waves”, without any doubt in my mind. I ended up getting a pair of navy blue suede North Stars with the velcro straps but, luckily my “top rock” did not suffer. The old school sneaker made a resurgence in the early 90’s and next to a pair of High top Adidas “Shelltows”, second on my list were a pair of Puma “King”. The puma sneaker has been with us in the forefront ever since and has managed to re-invent itself season after season and gaining further recognition with such visionaries as Alexander McQueen backing the famous feline. Its apparel line is one of the most worn in the world and from my many trips across the pond, its all about the Dassler brothers in Europe. Evidently, I did finally get that pair of “First Rounds”.

Bloor Street Shopping in Toronto – One Stop Shopping
by Logan Steele · Leave a Comment
When I think of the Bloor and Yorkville shopping experience, for some reason I often can’t help comparing it to a dismantled high-end shopping mall. Allow me to explain further; with in this 2 x 2 kilometer block, you can literally find every high-end and common label brand this city has to offer.
I dare you to think of a well-known label, be it LV or even Lululemon, which is not readily available within the confines of Bloor St. or Yorkville. It is your one-stop shop for recognizable branding, much like … well you see what I’m getting at. And, have I mentioned the words “label” or brand”. However, this is not to say that the edge has completely been diverted from this retail landmark.
The picturesque Yorkville, houses many cool upscale but edgy storefronts. It is not just about the Euro-labels and luxury items. Retailers such as the veteran Uncle Otis, Over the Rainbow and TNT have managed to create and carve its own nook, in the part of town some have nicknames Little Rodeo. Once here however, no one can deny that Yorkville is definitely its own little world within our city. And, with arrival of such terrific designer boutiques as; Betsy Johnson and Vivian Shyu, this street will continue to be just that. But, that does not mean that it is not accessible to us regular city folk. Although it is geared more towards the higher end of the retail spectrum. Take it from a regular run-of-the-mill shopaholic (that had worked in this part of town for many years) there is still plenty to discover.
Now, Bloor on the other hand, is whatever you want it to be. It caters to everyone from the work driven, to those still working it all out. You have everything from Roots, Puma, The Gap and Winners. Right up to Prada, Escada, Cartier and Holt Renfrew. It can be a destination for your work and leisure attire, as well as your more opulent and jet set events. I can not say anything bad about the shopping on Bloor. Well, maybe just that it always seems to be under some form of construction but, welcome to Toronto. This is the part of town for those of us, who just want to see the brands we have come to know and trust.

What can i do to look better for school ?
I have a winter uniform in which I have to wear :
My hair out of my face
My hair up
School blouse
School skirt
School jumper
Tights or plain white socks
Lace up shoes
No jewelery
No accesories
and the headbands/hair ties/hairclips have to be blue,silver or black
How can i possibly make myself look good in this outfit !?
Haha sounds like me in elementary school.
It’s all about how you wear it and basically your hair.
Style your hair differently in different hair styles like curly side ponytail
or some sort of braid. Not sure if you have rules on how short your skirt can be but some girls i know used to fold up the skirts to make it shorter. If you really want to look good you can always use make up .. but i prefer au natural. : )
