Hot and Covered...Congratulations, Will and Kate!

A VERY HAPPY
CONGRATULATIONS

Will & Kate

Who knows how many millions of photos were snapped in London this morning? Too many to count, but this one above takes the cake. Yes, Will and Kate look blissfully happy (they’re K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!), but check out the kid on the left. She looks about as thrilled as, every designer who didn’t do Kate’s dress? The ex-girlfriends? Fergie? Click through for a close up!

“...although maybe a little too loud. :)”

pop*eye...Color of Clouds—Tiny Hammers EP. (2011)

POP*EYE

Color of Clouds
Tiny Hammers EP. (2011)

*I proud to highly
Recommended!*

New EP from Color of Clouds, available May 17th!
Written by Kelli Scarr & Dan Chen.
Also featuring Daniel Mintzer (drums), Andrew Southern (bass), David Moltz (gtr), Nate Greenberg (synths).
Recorded & mixed at Serious Business Studios by Dan Chen.
Mastered by Chad Clark at Silver Sonya.
Produced by Dan Chen.

“C'est La Vie is casual,
Feel The Same that is easy pop to cosy live with.”

—The Look (2009) EP.

It might not just be the color (or colour as I know it…sorry, inside joke) of clouds, but more so the weightless feeling you get while transfixed by the movement of them. If the movement could be translated, it just might be the ambient indie pop that is “Color of Clouds”.

The new Color of Clouds EP “The Look” is now out and available at your finest online merchants (as of May 11th). The release includes 5 tracks to wake up beside, drive to work along side of, kick back with and maybe just to float away with. The music is gorgeous and includes harmonies that combine the vocals of the enchanting Kellie Scarr along with her counterparts Daniel Chen and Nate Greenberg. There are orchestral leanings, indie pop hooks and the soundscapes that will definitely bring them to many wanting ears. They definitely have an electro feeling as well – it helps the aura oozing from the EP – soft, floating songs emanate all around you the moment you press play. The tracks are all of the same vein, but all feel separate – like chapters of this mighty novella.

Listen to them now as you will most likely find yourself listening to them without even knowing it (you may have already heard them on “One Tree Hill” a few weeks back (Kristy, settle down now! – sorry another inside joke). While the sound is definitely “listener friendly”, it is still fresh, young and ready to become your new Summer soundtrack. Think of Imogen Heap and crew doing a great Feist impression – ahhh, now you are thinking…

Look for Cloud member Daniel Chen’s influence on the upcoming Nicole Atkins record which he assisted in writing a few tracks as well as the much anticipated Ivana XL new EP (or possibly full length album)!

Visit them on MySpace HERE. Friends over at Knox Road posted previously on CoC as well – check it here.

PortaStyle Guide...HOW TO TIE 'EM

The PORTASTYLE
GUIDE
‘HOW TO TIE 'EM!’

HOW TO TIE 'EM
— here you go...

Does your suit need a pick me up? Is your list of summer weddings growing and growing? Our latest Blackbird ties, designed in house will have you looking your best. This new line offers madras in bright and cheery tones, along with classic herringbone's, as well as the beautiful subtle texture of silk basket weave. All ties feature a slimmer cut for the modern guy. Oh, yeah! and if you're feeling a little unsure on how tie them correctly, here you go...

The three most common tie knots are the Half Windsor knot, the Windsor knot, the Four-in-Hand knot. We strongly recommend that you learn how to tie these three tie knots. Doing so will enable you to appreciate their differences and allow you to choose which one is most appropriate to wear with your selected attire. Each tie knot has its own particular place in your repertoire. When you have learned how to tie and how to wear these four tie knots it will be obvious to you who doesn’t. Learn quickly and easily by utilizing our easy to follow video instruction.

The width of the shirt collar, the width of the lapels on the suit and the thickness of the tie material should inform the knot you choose. A suit jacket with wide lapels (collar) should be matched with a shirt that has a wide opening and in turn the tie should use a full knot like the Windsor knot. A jacket with narrow lapels, think Reservoir Dogs or 80’s New Wave, should be worn with a narrow opening shirt collar and a narrow tie such as the four-in-hand.

Narrow collar opening = narrow tie knot
Wide collar opening = wide tie knot

Half Windsor knot is a smaller and simpler version of the Windsor knot as the name implies. It looks good with regular and wide shirt collars depending on the thickness of the tie it is a medium sized knot it is a symmetrical knot.

The Windsor knot a classic big formal symmetrical knot. The Windsor knot is the Cadillac of the tie world. Don’t try to stuff this in a narrow opening, the Windsor knot needs a wide collar opening.

Four-in-Hand knot a simple slim tie that leaves extra tie length, good for tall guys. It has a more casual slightly asymmetrical look, should be paired with a shirt with a narrow neck opening.
