Late Mon­day after­noon, while killing time before catch­ing up with my busi­ness part­ner, I ven­tured into Lib­er­ty­Town Arts Work­shop down­town. If you are not already famil­iar, Lib­er­ty­Town is the cre­ation of local pot­ter and artist, Dan Finnegan, and is essen­tially an art gallery, work­space for artists and all-inclusive arts cen­ter located at 916 Lib­erty Street in Down­town Fred­er­icks­burg. They fea­ture over 40 local artists, carry monthly exhi­bi­tions and are quite pop­u­lar dur­ing First Fri­days. My ini­tial pur­pose was to try and catch up with Dan, who was sup­posed to be return­ing from over­seas trip recently but then I ended up get­ting lost in Lib­er­ty­Town tak­ing in all the amaz­ing art­work. After snap­ping back to real­ity, I finally met up with Reef to dis­cuss some of our upcom­ing Kar­mal­ifee manuev­ers, kick back, relax and enjoy the sum­mer weather.

You can view the rest of the pho­tos here.

Cer­tainly a rec­og­niz­able cor­ri­dor in Fredericksburg…

A Thrifting Project

A lit­tle over week ago, I spent the day with one of my good friends, Sha­reese McDaniel. This lady is the rea­son why I recently gained a heavy inter­est in thrift­ing. She has a cre­ative, unique style that begs you to inquire where she got her out­fit from and her answer will con­sis­tently be “I […]

Tom Tom's Acquisitions: Uniqlo Cotton Linen Shorts (Flower)

Ear­lier this week, while trav­el­ing around New York with my fam­ily, I lit­er­ally stum­bled into the freshly-opened Uniqlo store in Ridge­Hill Shop­ping Cen­ter located in Westch­ester. As it were, it just so hap­pened that its grand open­ing was only a few days prior to my impromptu visit. It was def­i­nitely a pleas­ant sur­prise. Nor­mally, I […]

 

It starts with a pas­sion for meet­ing the needs of a com­mu­nity you know and care about. That has to be your true moti­va­tion, it can’t just be about money. –Matt Bald­win, Baldwin Denim

 

If you’re think­ing about start­ing your own brand, be ready to die for it. Because THAT is how hard you’ll be work­ing in order to make it suc­cess­ful. This is no walk in the park. If you’re ques­tion­ing your pas­sion, your com­mit­ment or your abil­ity to ‘make it work,’ then do some­thing else. You’ll be […]

 
Dining with the Arts by the Harbor

After work on Sat­ur­day, I got on the road with one of my lady friends and headed to the National Har­bor. While Ty had his sights set on the main Cherry Blos­som fes­tiv­i­ties, I took in the sights at its art fes­ti­val at the Art Whino gallery. The event came com­plete with a DJ, wine and […]

 
DAIKO! DC Annual Cherry Blossom Parade

Every Spring, Wash­ing­ton DC holds a Fes­ti­val com­mem­o­rat­ing Mayor Yukio Ozaki’s gift of the Cherry Blos­som trees to the US back in 1912. Every year the Japanese-American cit­i­zens bring their cul­ture to us and share their his­tory fur­ther strength­en­ing the bond between the US and Japan as Ozaki did so many years ago. My Japanese-American […]

Interview with Death By Cupcakee

Some peo­ple get to be in the best loca­tions. Some peo­ple get to meet the best peo­ple. Lorin, one of our great inter­view­ers here at Kar­mal­ifee, gets both. Not only does he live in the beau­ti­ful city of Miami, but he also got to inter­view one of the city’s newest bomb­shells, Ms. Alex Rivero bet­ter […]

 
Lately I Been Thrifting My Life Away...

So I’ve recently dis­cov­ered a new pas­time. It’s def­i­nitely not an unfa­mil­iar con­cept to those into clothes. One day after work a cou­ple weeks ago, I decided to ven­ture into a local Good­will store to go “thrift­ing”. After get­ting lost for a cou­ple hours, I emerged feel­ing invig­o­rated and vic­to­ri­ous! That could be because I […]

 
Go DJ! That’s My DJ

This Kar­mal­ifeestyle has really got­ten me going places and meet­ing peo­ple I never thought I’d get to meet. This week was no dif­fer­ent, had a con­ver­sa­tion with an ill DJ doing big things in the music busi­ness locally. Going by the name DJ Chub. We rapped over the phone for a bit about music, his […]
