The Big Idea


My latest must see TV is The Big Idea, the Donny Deutsch talks show that chronicles entrepreneurs that have hit it big or who are on the verge of hitting it big due to that one big idea. I am hitting the cnbc studio for a live taping today. Everyone needs a little inspiration to get them going full speed ahead. Great place to connect and feed off of some new energy too.

Mad Style



Was caught in hell a traffic yesterday on my way home from the city and saw this chick riding her bike. Traffic was so bad I was able to snap a few picts. Crazy Stylin, I would love to know what she does and what her homestyle is like. Just thought I'd share. If you know her tell her to shoot me a link.

Back to School (Technology)

Here at laidback technology is everything!! Don't skimp and these lil goodies will last all 4 years of school and then some.

I don't care if you are not a graphics, video or design major, front like one. Go with a mac, and the mac book pro is the way to go.

Upgrade your ipod (everyone has one by now) with a voice recorder. Gone are the days of the mini cassette.

A digital camera is a must to capture the college moments. A little Canon will do the trick without breaking the bank.

You won't need any of these things if you cant get your hungover, partied to much, hung out with my boo behind up in the morning. The days of catching another minute are over when you have to run after your clock to make it stop. Now you are really up. Sure it cost more, but not quite as much as that 8 am class that your parents paid for.

Back To School (The Room)

In the spirit of everyone preparing to go back to school I am going to highlight some of Laidbacks favorite back to school items all this week. We of course will focus on the design of the room, technology, stationary, book bags,fun items, and misc. crap that would delight us if we were heading back to school. You don't have to be heading back to school to enjoy these items either.
It's all about feeling at home when you go away to school. If you have any other favorites share them. Laidback hearts school days, lol.

Of course you have your favorites from Laidback. Laidback offers you comfort, style, and a great conversation piece the moment your roomie opens the door and looks at your side of the room they know you are funky, fun and have great style. Don't forget these bad boys unzip and are machine washable.

When studying or taking a study break, if these badboys fit on your tiny side of the room the are a must have. Easy to read on, watch, tv, cozy up, or just take a nap. Its a Fatboy.

Lighting.. PB teen has done a good job of knocking off some of the best designs in lighting. I would pick up some of these pieces for my home. Some pricier than others, but all full of personality and color.

Studio Magazine


Laidback is in the Summer Issue of the Studio Magazine, a design magazine put out by the Studio Museum. They were highlighting good reads and great finds for your home. They listed your favorite, The vinyl "Ol Play" however they misprinted the price. Anyhoo.. check out the shop, there are truly some great finds.

Good Hair is Laidback!!!


One of my favorite sites, Afrobella blew me up today for rocking dope hair. When I say laidback is more than just a pillow, it is style, and style is from the rootah to the tootah as my mom use to say. My stylist also is a Bronxite, Dehilia is her name, and natural haircare is her game. Naturally Twisted is located within Diamond Cut Barbershop at 4635 White Plains Road.
