Hoodie Tuesday: Gobble Gobble

What are you thankful for? We’re thankful for hoodies..by the truckload (I wish). Anyway, today’s hoody is the O’Neill Myspace 2 Reversible which retails for about $60. One side has a cute dotted pattern with “O’Neill” written inside the dots. The other side just has “O’Neill” repeating over and over. It’s like two hoodies in one! Two for one Tuesday. It also has thumbholes in the sleeves. I don’t know about you, but more hoodies should have thumb holes. The hoody only comes in white with these patterns on it. Enjoy!

Introducing… Beanie Thursdays

Ah Beanies. The best defense against frizzy winter hair. I don’t know about you, but my beanie collection borders on ridiculous. And so, in honor of the return of colder weather, I present to you:

BEANIE THURSDAYS!

Think of it as a companion to Hoodie Tuesdays.

For my first beanie, I’d love to show off this fabulous choice from Bula called the Blondy. I love the guitar pattern, and the nod to one of the greatest rock bands of all time (Deborah Harry, we love you!) Shown here in Ivory, it’s available in four colors, so you can be sure you’ll find at least one that will match your outerwear. And wearing this beanie will give you all sorts of excuses to make silly “rock out” jokes. What more could you ask for?

Hoodie Tuesday: Election Day

Happy Election Day, Tuesday, November 6th, Birthday (if you’re celebrating one), Anniversary (if that applies), and National Nachos Day (apparently that’s today?). And of course, Happy Hoody Tuesday. Today’s hoody is another Nikita hoody, partially because I felt bad about last week, and partially because I just like the hoody. The Nikita Judy Hoodie (nikitaclothing.com) goes for about $54 and features a cool print with white/ocean blue/purple as the only color scheme.

Hoodie Tuesday: Hungry for Triscuits

No there is not a triscuit hoody, (at least that I know of). However, the DC Trisket is just as deliciously awesome, but not edible…unless you’re the hoody sleeve chewing type. Its fleecy interior is perfect for the cold weather to come. If you can’t tell from the picture, it has cute buttons going up both sides. It sort of reminds me of Keith from Project Runway last season when he made the dress with the red button, then got kicked off for allegedly “cheating.” Anyway…we found the hoody online for $52..so it’s definitely cheaper than the past couple of hoody tuesday hoodies.It comes in Heather Grey and Plumeria with a pattern on the outside.

Sometimes I Accidentally Wear Two Different Shoes

Yesterday, while I was having dinner at Redstone Pizza, I looked down and notice that I had a black skate shoe on my right foot and a grey and white skate shoe on my left foot.  So, I was wandering around for hours with two different shoes on, and no one mentioned it to me.  It made me wonder how often I have something else wrong with my personal appearance, and no one bothers to point it out to me.  Like my shirt on backwards.  Or no pants.  When I was a kid I used to forget I was supposed to brush my hair in the mornings and just go to school with it all sticking out on one side.

Just thought I’d share.

Hoodie Tuesday: Halloween

Happy Day Before Halloween! Would you call this mischief day?..or rather..Misschief day? Anyway, in the spirit of Halloween and all things scary, this week’s hoody is one that scares us here at Shred Betties: the Nikita Saadia Zipped Hoody. When Kelly first showed me this hoody I thought, “Are we in The Wizard of Oz? because that looks like a scarecrow costume.” In fact, I’m sure you could actually scare crows in the field with this one. Maybe even little kids that come trick-or-treating. We suggest you save your $60 for something a little more human.

MFR On the ThirtyTwo Team!

Tabloid Tidbit: Okay, so maybe our celebrity news isn’t as exciting as a scandalous affair, or who just got admitted to rehab again for the eighth time. At least our celebrities in the boarding community don’t have names like tomcat or brangelina though, that has to count for something - right?

Marie-France Roy, also known as “MFR”, is the newest member to join ThirtyTwo’s team. This up-and-coming rider also just signed on with etnies Girl. Where do you know her from? Besides podiums from a variety of competitions such as the Abominable Snow Jam, and Nikita Chikita Showdown, MFR can be seen in shred videos “Lalaland” and produced by Runway Films and “Float,” as well as Rome’s “Any Means.”

Dear East Coast Weather Gods

Today, my friend Delphine (a surfer) was absolutely exuberant about the weather. I, of course, looked at her like she had 18 heads and said, “That’s okay Delphine, you can have your indian summer until November, but then it’s snowboarding season!”
