I go to Oak pretty regularly to salivate over all the hot clothes they have–especially the dresses. Especially the dresses by Rachel Comey.

I’m pretty cheap, so I usually wait for the sales and snap up everything my heart desires. Well, it’s sale time, and prices are as low as 50% off!  I was even able to get those F-Troupe ballet shoes I was going gaga over a few weeks ago for half price this weekend.

Go to Oak and live the dream.

Remember a few year ago before M.I.A. ‘s debut cd was released, and she blew up? Well did you ever wonder how all of the sudden it seemed like everyone knew who she was? It was because of a little mix tape she did with Diplo called Piracy Funds Terrorism. Once that album dropped, everyone was going crazy for M.I.A.

Well, it looks like Diplo has once again collaborated on a mixtape, but this time its with Santogold. It features some original Santogold material mixed in with everyone from Aretha Franklin, B52s, Devo, Mark Ronson and many more. It also features packaging by Mike Jones.

You can puchase the mixtape here–keep checking back because it’s currently out of stock, but it will be available on iTunes soon.

In the meantime, Here are 2 tracks from the album for you to download:
