With the semi-annual sale winding-down, I decided it would be fun to make a summer outfit with a sale item as the signature piece.
My outfit includes:

This color appears to not be online, hence the dusty black T-shirt pictured above.

GROOMING PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: LULU ORGANIC HAIR POWDER (IT'S A LIFE SAVER)

Summer is an interesting season. The days are hot, there isn't a whole lot of rain anywhere, and scantily clad clothing starts emerging from the bottoms of dresser drawers whether you wanted it to or not; sleep is a great thing, but the nights are short and there are precious hours of revelry to be had after the sun finally sets.
Consequentially, late night festivities often lead to headaches, dehydration, hangovers and hitting your snooze button a few too many times.

Luckily, Lulu Organics can help you save a good five to ten minutes on your daily morning routine:
Frantically jump in the shower for a second and rinse the filth and foul odors off of your body and jump out before you have time to get your hair wet. Dry yourself (obviously). Dump a dime-sized amount of Lulu Organic hair powder in your hand and rub into the roots of your dry hair. Voila! Your hair feels nice and clean and smells fantastic. Now go, get dressed, swallow your breakfast whole, and dash out the door. Go ahead, smirk, nobody's gonna know you almost blew it.

INGREDIENTS: organic corn starch, white clay, baking soda, organic rice powder, organic horsetail powder, essential oils.


Available in Lavender Clary Sage, Patchouli Amber, Tuberose, and Jasmine.

JOHN LEYTON - LONELY CITY

BLACKBIRD HAZLEWOOD JEAN: THREE MONTHS OF WEAR

(above photo from ZLOG)

Tyler Johnson, Blackbird sales guy and webstore model, always seems to end up being our go-to guy to try out the wear and tear of clothes. With all of the activities he is doing on a day-to-day basis, he really puts everything he wears to the test. He was among the first people to get a pair of the Blackbird Hazlewood Jeans and, as always, immediately put them to hard use. The below photos show his jeans as of a little over a month ago, at approximately three months wear.

We finally got some pictures ready of the newest available stock we have of Diet Butcher Slim Skin. Everything will soon be available online, but for now here is a quick rundown. Until this goes live online, just shoot us an e-mail at info@blackbirdballard.com for any inquiries.

$888


Diet Butcher Slim Skin - D101K192 Knit
in gray/black
DETAILS: Super soft cashmere/silk knit; perfect for any season. The long fit and lightly distressed asymmetrical hem gives a very unique punk taste to an almost basic style. DBSS knits never fail to impress.

in gray
DETAILS: 100% modal long cut & sew with adjustable neckline via a leather belt and side slit pockets. Once again, one of those cool experimental pieces that DBSS always does so well. The fit through the body is rather slim but the elongated torso still gives a very relaxed feeling.

Diet Butcher Slim Skin - D101T204 BANANARS T-Shirt
in black
DETAILS: Tour T-shirt for BANANARS, a fake band created by the DBSS guys a couple years ago. The "band" t-shirts appear every once in a while in collections and they are always a hit. This one is made from a light Indian cotton with a great soft, springly feeling and subtle tears along the front.
$235


Diet Butcher Slim Skin - D101T208 Sin T-Shirt
in white
DETAILS: Super soft 50% rayon/50% cotton fabric with subtle tearing detail along the front; perfectly matched for the standard long and relaxed DBSS t-shirt silhouette. The print comes from a collage made by DBSS designer, Fukatami.

DBSS has moved their denim production to a new factory and these jeans are among the first results and we are absolutely pleased with them.
