AdVENTUrE...
MYsteRy...
WiLD tHIngS...

I just purchased "The Wild Things" by Dave Eggers, which is the novel version of the old-classic children's book "Where The Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. So naturally, I wanted to do some research before I read the book and then saw the movie. The book was written in 1963 and was the Winner of the 1964 Caldecott Medal as the "Most Distinguished Picture Book of the Year". When the book came out, the theme of dealing with dark emotions was unheard of in children's literature, particularly in a picture book such as this.

So for those of you who don't know the premise of the book, it is based on the fantasy (and real) consequences of a little boy's mischief.

Truly an classic. Read the book on tape here.

Watch the trailer "Where The Wild Things Are" here.
In theaters & Imax this FRIDAY! (Oct. 16th)

Oldie but Goodie.

Where were you in '92? With Paris Fashion Week in full swing, I couldn't help but to reminiscence about my first days in fashion. I think it was around 1992 when I started watching Fashion File and Fashion Television early Saturday mornings, while other kids watched cartoons. I don't really remember what I was watching...but I knew, that I was in love.

So naturally, I went back to the Marc Jacobs for Perry Ellis days. Classic Grunge. Classic '92. Classic Marc. Don't forget, he got fired for his "shocking" collection in 1992...which was probably the best thing that could have ever happened for him. He was hired shortly after by the biggest luxury brand in history, aka Louis Vuitton.

Enjoy a Blast from the Past.

Spooked.

Tobias Wistisen Shrunken Heads Necklace

Said to ward off bad spirits...

While studying the piece, I noticed the faces have sewn-up mouths. And I love how the detailed long silver chains are designed to look like the hair. This necklace is quite appropriate for Halloween, and is surely a conversation piece. Reminds me of that man who had that little ass head in Beetlejuice...remember?

Anyway, if I could make a suggestion please. Wear with a shaved head (1/2 only), black studded boots, anything by Alexander Wang, and bright red lipstick. Go now...

I love the color black. Black hair, black leggings, black booties, black men, Blackberry. I have stumbled upon a girl who loves black more than Marilyn Manson and a New York City girl combined. She has perfected the art of silk, mesh, leather, and lace...all in black licorice.

More after the jump...

Hannah Marshall, Queen of Edgy, is a British designer who came on the scene 'round 2007, and is a mere 26. Her pieces are sharp, refined, and very architecturally designed. And get this...she puts secret code messages in all her designs made in Braille form, which are centered around the infamous LBD (Little Black Dress)

So pour yourself a cup of black coffee, sit your ass on a buttery black leather couch, and crack open your black Macbook and find out about this girl. (I know...I over did it, so what)

White Rabbit

2009-09-29T17:49:00.006-05:00

I found someone who makes cool shit with paper, just like Vintage Royalty (shameless plug).

French designer, Julie Thevenot, takes paper and makes cutouts in order to sculpt her graphic design compositions.

Rabbit on the Run

The name Rabbit On the Run, completely reflects the different, independent, free and spontaneous universe of the brand.

"I did many things-graphic design, illustration, silk screen, everything that touched images,"
-says Thevenot about her studies in Paris.

...The cuts are simple and over-sized, conceived in neutral and natural materials, in opposition to the strong character of the hyper colored prints.

She moved to New York in 2007, which proved to be a creative boost. She said, "I just felt I needed to find the right moment...a town that pushed ME." And this is definitely the place to do it.

Can I Vibe With You?

2009-09-26T23:19:00.005-05:00

German Bitches are dope.

Wanna know why? Me too.

Vibe Harslof, a Copenhagen native, is the best jewelry designer I've seen in a long time. She creates "70s-style cork-and-resin-ball" necklaces, earrings, and pins.

She said they were inspired by ice formations. However, they look more like dynamite explosions or star clusters. They were originally created for the Danish label Wackerhaus, but she decided to use them again for her line because she loved them so much. (Ditto) These complex treasures are made from Perplex plastic set in oxidized silver. Huh?

Coming soon from this VW Beetle: A jewelry collection inspired by the pipe's shape made from distressed wood.

Charlotte Ronson
Spring 2010

Love at first site. If I had to embody the way I would like to look everyday...the shit would look like this. This one Ronson put her foot into this collection saying, "It's classical meets street". Aka: Lady in the street, freak in the sheets. Right?

Well...maybe not. But I loved everything. I like how it was accessorized. How all looks consisted of a sheer mesh legging in black or nude and a sophisticated American Apparel-esque bleach job.

This Ronson family is more talented than the Jacksons, Olsons, & Williamssss' put together. Maybe I'm adopted?

Hello fashion world!!! This is my first blog via New York City...and I must say, it feels GOOD. Since no one in this city speaks English, I found it fitting to jump across the pond to Italy. The September issue of Italian Vogue features one of my main biotches and she looks great!

Rihanna is the new Italian Vogue cover girl and she is resembling a light-skindededd version of Grace Jones. Anyway, I love.

And yes...those are glitter pasties. Seize the day small breasted women!!! Bras are so 2008.

And yes...that is a muzzle. Guess they don't want her to say shit either.

Fashion Week is Coming! Fashion Week is Coming!

One of the new new designers to watch is a freshly plucked duo Timo Weiland. They started their line 2 years ago, strictly neck wear...and have now morphed it into a men's and women's unisex ready-to-wear line. Yummy.

Their items are very laid-back, no hassle type shit. And I found a sneak preview of their Spring 2010 Menswear line. I see couples all over the world fighting over these items. Men, you must learn to share with us...ok?

From Nymag.com:

Classic silhouettes like the bow tie are made with perforated leather or silk, while more elaborate collars reinterpret Victorian-era collars. All of the pieces are unisex with a look that’s both refined and irreverent.“We design for the chic men and women in our lives. It’s our families, friends, and icons we admire..."

Wheeler Willis by Laura Willis makes her zipper creations from Vintage zippers, and spins and spuns those things round and round until the creations you see before you appear. Like swirly dreams come true. Resembling little sea creatures...

Wheeler got bracelets. Wheeler got big ass necklaces. Wheeler got me heart.

Just joined Etsy on August 19th of this year. Wheeler will surely be a hit.

From her bio:

"The fascinating jewelry of Wheeler Willis Jewelry Design was born through my exploration of alternative materials while studying jewelry design at the Corcoran College of Art and Design. My goal is to bridge the gap between alternative and classic work by using zippers, a unique and edgy material, to create jewelry that is traditional in shape and style."

Prices range from $85 to $300, and she does custom orders as well. Yum.

I don't know if I'm happy or sad about the Recession. I mean if these designers keep lowering their price-points for us poor-folk, then should I really be upset that the prices going down? I mean, this shit is great light-weight! Right?

Anyway, My girl is moving on up (popularity-wise). And lowering the prices while at it. (poor people-wise)

Rachel Roy is about to debut her new, more affordable clothing line Rachel Rachel Roy for Macy's. Price points range around $30-$299. And she has everything from T-shirts, leopard-print skinny jeans, purses, to Bombers, to jumpsuits, bad-bitch jewelries and faux fur vests just to name a few.

Little snip of a interview with stylelist.com:

Why was it important for you to do this line at this time?

Rachel Roy: I have always wanted to design a collection of affordable priced clothing. Jones Apparel Group approached me and together we decided that there was an opening in the market for the younger sister to the Rachel Roy collection which is how the Rachel Rachel Roy collection was born.

What I always say...

"If it ain't one thing, It's another thing..."

As we get older, one learns more and more things about life. This has been one of the most stressful years of my life... (moving, work, love, recognition, family...etc etc) And I realize that I'm still hanging in there. I'm still kicking. STILL smiling.

So...what are you stressed about? What has made you appreciate all the good things? What has kicked you in the neck and said hello, stay humble?

I just wanted to send this blog out to say, We're all going through it. Stay strong and what your working for will pay off in the end. Just stay beautiful inside and out.

Neliana Fuenmayor is a 23 year old, South American born and bred designer that is all about "redefining sustainable design." She uses fair trade fibers and an overly dramatic sized weaves to give the illusion of fur; and the cute specs you see on the models are all made of waste wood.

"These alternative materials are combined with contemporary structures and shapes to exemplify a very feminine and strong silhouette."

Mind over matter ladies. If you can afford this, can you wear this? The shoe is crazier than any Marc Jacobs creation, higher than any Manolo, and more exclusive than any Christian Louboutin.

The sandal has a cut-out section within the platform and a unheard of open section in the center of the sole and sharp angular heel. Standing 6 inches high....you may end up taller than Shaquille O'Neal. Made of 100% graffitti print leather, inspired by African Tribal drawings. With a clear nod to 80s hip-hop.

Sasha Fierce The Designer

2009-07-10T16:21:00.005-05:00

A Sasha Fierce collection? Why yes. In fact you can beat a DEAD horse.

Tina and B. have announced they will be selling a Dereon Junior line called Sasha Fierce. Of course, the collection is inspired by Beyonce's stage presence...aka, her alter ego and will be nothing short of Baby Phat. (Yeah I said it.)

A few words: The collection, Tina said, is “edgier and trendier and reflects Sasha Fierce’s daring and outgoing attitude.” The jewelry, shoes and eyewear, she added, “are really over the top”.

More gibberish: Beyoncé, who said in a statement “the line really exudes a different side of my personality, which I am grateful that I can express,” had a lot of say in the creation of the collection, Tina said.

Look for this line at Macy's and Dillards. The collection wholesales from $25 to $75. Anything more would be criminal.

Jimmy Choo for H&M

2009-06-17T11:43:00.004-05:00

Although I'm only 25...I think I just had my first heart attack. And no it's not from the $2 vanilla ice cream cones I've been getting from Dairy Queen as of late.

I just got word than Jimmy Choo. Yes....thee Jimmy will be teaming with H&M come November 14th. Now I know why I work for this "Trendy Prison". For reasons such as this...for purposes like high-fashion for less. Ay dios mio. I'm excited.

So Mr. Choo will be doing a shoe line (of course), a clothing line, and a collection of bags and accessories for the masses. Men and women....

From: www.dailymail.co.uk

Jimmy Choo's president Tamara Mellon said today she felt honoured to be among the fashion greats who have been affiliated with H&M.

'It's such a privilege to design a collection to appeal to fashion savvy, street smart women.

'Jimmy Choo will bring to H&M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection - the perfect party pieces to wear out at night,' she added.

Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor to H&M, said today that the collaboration with the top end brand is 'a joy'.

'We adore Jimmy Choo’s shoes and bags. They are glamorous and sexy, and they add instant style to the simplest of outfits.

'It's particularly exciting because it’s our first shoe designer collection.'

Eco friendly is now at your fingertips....well Finger Nails actually.

The creators of Priti Nails just launched an Eco-friendly nail polish that is soy based; and a complimenting polish remover. Both are biodegradable, organic, and don't smell.

Side Note: I don't know about you guys, but I have gotten quite dizzy from the smell of nail polish and remover. I don't even like going into nail shops because I get instant headaches.

Anywho, the polish is aroung $12 and the remover around $22; and come in about 120 colors. And the best freaking part about this whole thing is that this nail polish is MACHINE WASHABLE. (Great for all the clumsy bitches like me.)

Label THIS.

2009-06-15T10:44:00.004-05:00

Remember the 7pack of undies you would get from Kmart back in the day?? You know, it would have Monday-Sunday on there. You would wear the correct pair on the correct day, just cuz I guess...until you got annoyed and just put on whatever was clean. I mean I had a Panda Bear 7day, a Strawberry Shortcake 7day....and many many more.

Anyway, take that concept...but into labeling what you are putting on. Rock & Republic has just launched a new basics line called 'The Plain Wrap Collection', in which they have labeled everything. Shoes says 'Sneaker', jeans say 'Jeans' etc...etc...

According to WWD, it’s the latest move by the Los Angeles based premium denim label to evolve with the jinxed economy. Rock & Republic’s Plain Wrap Collection is said to have a lower price point, and will feature T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, windbreakers, leggings, along with a wide variety of basics.
Founder & Creative Director Michael Ball Tells WWD:
This is a new initiative with a new perspective for the consumer that wants fashionable basics with staying power, This is just the start of something bigger, a collection that will evolve and grow with the addition of new product categories in future seasons.”

I like the idea I guess. And that's what fashion is anyway, making something old new again.

Classic.

2009-06-12T12:01:00.006-05:00

Emma Watson, (of Harry Potter fame) and the new face of Burberry, is my new favorite girl pal. She is on the May cover of Interview Magazine...talking about life before, during, and after Harry Potter...

In the interview with Interview Mag, you get a glimpse into her private life. My favorite question is the one with her relationship with Karl Lagerfield:

On her relationship with Chanel guru Karl Lagerfield: “I’d met Karl a few times before, at parties or something where we really couldn’t talk. But this was a dream come true. We spent the whole day together, and he can talk about anything — literature, art, science, modern culture. I was totally seduced. I felt spoiled to be spending so much time with him.”

So humble.

The Underestimated.

2009-06-11T18:51:00.004-05:00

So...I must take this time to talk about my favorite female artist ever. She is the best, and it kills me that she hasn't 'blown up'. She's just as good, if not better than Rihanna, Beyonce, and Keyshia Cole. She has an energy, an independence; that many of them can not accomplish. She doesn't make music to make 2-second hits, she makes music of substance, of worth....of strength and quality.

Amerie

She is coming out with her 4th CD on August 11th, entitled IN LOVE AND WAR. Perfect. She has released her first single called "Why R U?" And it is classic Amerie. Strong words, instrumental background, lots of energy. I Heart. I Love.

Please support her. Learn about her. Go to Amazon right now and purchase her 1st CD (All I Have) if you don't already have it. You'll fall in love, I promise.

Follow this link below to watch her latest single.

Agy D in a new ad campaign for Melissa Shoes in 'Plastic Dreams' magazine. Agyness Deyn is the new face of the cult Brazilian brand, and is helping launch this new magazine. Bad news , the mag is only in Portuguese...good thing fashion doesn't require reading. I don't even know where Portugal is....Fashion doesn't require a knowledge of Geography either. (Thank God)

Anyway, the pictures make you want to melt all your cheap plastic jewelry and try to re-create these looks. Only advice I give is to wear gloves and a mask. You WILL get high off the fumes...or pass out. Better do this in a team setting. One person with the torch, the other with 9-1-1 on speed dial.

"Be the king of the jungle....gym" they say. And with this winter gear, you will.

For those of you that don't know who Jeremy Scott is...I'm sure you've seen his winged golden shoes, good enough for Julius Caesar himself. Well Mr. Scott is back again with more to love; brighter colors, printed jumpsuits, and of course more 'winged' paraphernalia.

There are animal prints seemingly inspired by Tony The Tiger, big coats inspired by a busted TV screen, and a 3-tonged sneaker bright enough to see from space. Yum.

Men never get all the attention they deserve, and that is why I'm happy this guy has included you. But please note that Jeremy has done some items for the ladies too, same jungle aesthetic...tighter on the ass.

Scrunch THIS.

2009-06-04T19:16:00.003-05:00

Do you remember Scrunchies? Do you remember the higher you could get that pony tail, the better? Do you remember you couldn't leave the house unless you had one (or 10) on your hair and one on your wrist....and a spare in your bag???? Well, just like the past always come back to bite you in the ass...so does the items you'd rather forget.

American Apparel (aka....my fav store) has launched the ultimate scrunchie collection that any hipster girl would love to own.

However...I warn you if you do attempt this, I have some Rules and Regs.

#1 Please have at least shoulder length or longer hair. If you are struggling to put your hair in a pony-tail, then scrunchies aren't for you. NO STINGY...LONELY-TAILS. (try a nice head-band)
#2 Expect to have to defend yourself, everyone is going to talk about you.
#3 Do not wear a scrunchie with your business professional attire. Are you kidding?
#4 Do not wear scrunchie like this model.
#5 If you decide to take on this recycled trend....proceed with caution.

Pics provided by www.americanapparel.net...Scrunchies come in about 15 different colors and textures. Find the one...or 10 for you.

Dude (Looks Like A Lady)

2009-06-01T11:34:00.005-05:00

So, I just found out who Lady Gaga's wardrobe stylist is....and he is just as crazy as she is. The clothes are insane. And his website is even crazier. He is doing a ready-to-wear collection and his first look book with NYLON.....and I've got the exclusive sneak peek.

Alex Noble is a London born and bred designer. He's worked with Selfridges & Co. department store and MAC Cosmetics, among other things.

Take a look at his new collection. Of course its not as crazy as the illegal latex/spandex contraptions he makes for Miss Gaga....but its still enough to get your mother's blood pressure up. The line seems to be inspired by some type of Native American princess...Pocahontas meets Madonna or something. I just want the bronze one piece...with chain head gear.

Excuse me? H&M has leaked some official photos from their Fall collection. And I know what you're thinking...#1 Dang it isn't even summer yet, wtf?...and #2 How the heck did I get these photos? Both questions should be answered by Dex.com. He he he...

Anyways, please take notice of all the extra cute stuff H&M is dishing out this September and October. They have hit major trends like sequins, fur, chandelier necklaces, and plaids. And did you notice the Balmain knock-off jacket???? I told ya'll it was going to trickle down and be everywhere. I HEART the black pumps with diamond-encrusted heels, and that Louis Vuitton knock-off sequins jacket thingy.

Be expecting these items in the stores probably by mid July...because as you know, big trendy places like H&M don't waste time.

I feel tricked. I feel bamboozled. When reporting on the fashionable mix of Elizabeth & James and Steve Madden...I thought they were going to make shoes that I could afford. WTF is the deal with the prices starting at $125 and sky-rocketing to $500????? Are they insane? The shoes aren't even that cute. Anyway, I am highly disappointed.

Your views? Would you pay that amount for Steve Madden?

Oh Ralph...you sure know how to make a man look like he showers. And I credit you for showing a new way to dress. The Chuck Bass way. You know... neck scarf, crisp blazer, short rolled-up pants, no socks, leather loafers. Some might say WTF?...I just say, 'I kinda like it.' And I do.

If you have a man, know a man, are a man, or are a manly-woman...please take note of these pictures. Take detailed notes and notice how prep is cool, clean is necessary, and socks are optional. (Especially the thick tube ones)

I also credit Marquis Phifer from Lateboots.com, 'The Bearded Man', and his followers from The Brooklyn Circus; for showing American boys that this look does work. Believe me...

Have a good summer and please don't forget your Ray-Bans.

Bodkin

Being Eco-friendly is getting easier and easier as cool ass clothing companies are coming out with some quality 'green' clothes.

Eviana Hartman, former NYLON editor, designed a Fall '09 full of space-dyed clothes, recycled polyester, recycled tire rubber...etc etc. It doesn't sound yummy but once you see the clothes you'll forget about all that. Anyway, its better than being made of puppies right? J/K

Hartman states, "It’s dyed with things like red onion skin, cherry root, sumac leaves, and boiled carob." So does that mean I can literally eat my sleeve????

It reminds me of the eco-friendly, NYU Grad girl....I'm sure she has a teal 1959 bicycle with a wire basket in front too. With a bumper sticker in the back that says, 'I Care' with a Recycle sign on it... So cool!

In case you've been in outer space, I'm sure you've heard about Steven Sprouse. And to dedicate and emmulate this wonderful man, Louis V has done a full-on collection for him...titled Louis Vuitton for Steven Sprouse. Now this shit has been in stores since January, but I keep seeing these items around Chicago and online...and my envy of it keeps growing. So I had to write it out, I guess to cope with the fact that I can't cop it.

Oh yeah, in case you go to a Rave or Cosmic Bowl...you will glow in the dark with these clothes on.

Kate Moss for Topshop

2009-05-22T11:35:00.006-05:00

Kate Moss for Topshop Summer 2009 has just hit stores and topshop.com. Here are some inspirational words straight from the site.

"Kate's collection encapsulates the perfect holiday wardrobe."

"Her latest pieces are rich in texture and heavily embellished."

"Harking back to 1970s Morocco."

Everything is beautifully made, exquisitely executed. Moss has proven to be more than what we thought. We still get excited every time a new collection comes out. And she keeps reinventing herself, to prove she knows what the F she's doing.

Called the High Summer Collection 2009...said to be the most glamorous summer yet. It's bohemian, its exotic, and layered to the max.

The Dark & Serious

2009-05-18T12:04:00.004-05:00

Ashley Olsen...the cooler of the two (just my personal opinion) poses for V Man magazine in the Summer 2009 issue. She talks to designer Marc Jacobs about her new Men's line for The Row and the differences between her and Mary-Kate. In case you guys didn't know, Ashley is now a full-time fashion designer and Mary-Kate has decided to still pursue an acting career.

Ashley states, On designing for The Row:

"The way I look at it, I had a career as a child. I had a career in an industry in which the media kind of. . . they're obsessed with the young girl thing. But when I turned 18, I moved to New York, and I haven't really done anything to be a celebrity. I've been transitioning from acting as a kid to doing something that I'm choosing for myself — to be a part of the fashion industry. . . the outside perception is very different because you do have celebrity brands, people like Jessica Simpson and Kimora Lee Simmons, and those are celebrity brands because they have their names on them."
On being different from her twin sister:

"When I was 14, 15, 16, 17, it was harder because the two of us were still very similar. We had to work through what's special about us, and then the media had to work through it. . . I've never been one to engage the media to say that I'm different. I actually did the opposite and I totally went internal. I was like, "See y'all!" I want to be behind the scenes, and I don't want people to know anything about my personal life. I have a job, I take it very seriously, and I work really hard."

Ray-Bans has come out with the ultimate unique accessory. If you somehow don't know about Ray-Bans, they are the famed sunglasses company of celebrities, hipsters, and rich bitches worldwide. Anywho, they have these glasses called "Colorize", where you can marker up your own pair. You get one pair of sunglasses, 4 markers (blue, red, yellow, and white), and a stencil kit...in order to style and design your own exclusive Ray-Bans.

I must note that the Buyer Beware. These markers are permanent...so once that mess is on there, its on there.

BK Big Fish

2009-05-15T14:56:00.008-05:00

So I was told I have to write more about the Boys...so I had to start with one of my fav Boy hotspots.

The Brooklyn Circus. (BKc)

The headquarters are in San Francisco, reps in Chicago, and of course a store in New York. And they know how to make a boy look like a fresh ass Man. Feel me?

The clothes are preppy, very Urban, and very clean. It reminds me of how we used to dress back in the day. Think John Legend and Andre 3000 type looks, but in 1925. Everyone looks complete...layered up. Hat, Button-down Shirt, Bowtie, Scarf, Cardigan, Slacks, Messenger Bag, Shoes...get what I'm saying? These men aren't half-assed. I believe the owner is who they call 'The Bearded Man' (in many of the photos), located in SanFran...and he obviously knows what he's doing.

They just debuted their Spring 2009 collections (pictured directly below) in Cali and New York, that have a nautical inspiration behind it. The use of chambray fabrics, Anchor button details, and colors include blue and white....and their own special Japanese cone denim line.
I smell money.

Now if you'd excuse me. My boyfriend is waiting for me in San Francisco...he needs me to straighten his bow-tie.

Follow their every move like I do. www.thebkcircus.com/blog

Trend Alert: Jeggings

2009-05-15T14:17:00.005-05:00

Jeggings.

Just when you thought Leggings couldn't get any crazier...they come out with Jeggings. Jeans + Leggings. I bought a pair of Jeggings from Target last year and tried to wear them with just a top, but I felt that I was breaking some natural laws of nature. So I stashed them...hid them with my Skort. Now, I wonder if I should embrace this unruly trend...embrace it and love it. But maybe not.

Anyways, Topshop has a way too expensive pair for $70 made from cotton, polyester, and spandex, for that suck-it-in, painted-on look. Note: If you aren't comfortable wearing regular leggings with just a shirt, you will not be comfortable wearing Jeggings with just a shirt as well. They are not really Jeans. Remember that.

Some ideas on how to wear Jeggings:

1. With a long belted tunic.
2. Sequince shirt and long Boyfriend Blazer.
3. Short flowy dress.
4. Tight fitting American Apparel Scoop Neck Dress
5. Asymmetrical tunic.

ALWAYS WEAR JEGGINGS WITH HEELS. OR YOU WILL LOOK CHUBBY. PROMISE ME...

Topshop suggests you to, "Release your inner rock chic and team with a leather biker, motto tee and killer heels."

You can also grab a pair from H&M, they are way cheaper. My friend bought some, and they look great on her.

I Did It All For The Nooka

2009-05-13T16:35:00.004-05:00

My wrist just got fresher. Because I put some Nooka on it.

Nooka is a New York based company founded by artist and designer Matthew Waldman. The prices are going to run you about $70-$650, so save your pesos before you hit up the site.

And one model is so you can look fresh in the dark too. It's just...more than I could have ever dreamed!

And for those of you who love you some Nickelodeon. Check the Spongebob version. YES!

2009-05-13T16:01:00.006-05:00

In high school, after the Cheer season was over...I wandered. I traveled to a grassy knoll unknown to me before. The air was tough, the girls were rough, and whistles were involved. Yes, you guessed right. The Cheerleader joined the Soccer team. Now at first, the shit was hard. I had to run, I sweat a little bit, I had to wear a hideous uniform, and my coach looked like the scary Leprechaun from those movies back in the day. Not cool.

But I've just discovered something that may have helped me catch that damn ball! I was never quick enough to catch it...so yes, I did sit on the bench every game. I'm not embarrassed, because I'm not a soccer player. I was a cheerleader...a damn good one. Now, I love fashion. And the two together have made babies. Expensive, Chic babies.

As you know, Yohji Yamamoto (Y-3) has a collection with Adidas and has developed this $90 soccer ball. As I was researching him, I came across a few more too. Enjoy these balls. They make soccer worth existing....and David Beckham of course.

I mean....this is just too cute right? And the prices are affordable ($40 and under). They are LA based, made with vintage materials...and soon to come Silk accessories too. They also offer scarves, earrings, and cute heel socks. Designers Alejandra Hernandez and Rana Shoar started this accessories line based on the blend of the romantic language of Farsi and Spanish.

And bows are sooo my thing right now, so I instantly HEART them. Make them yours too. Jump on this Bow Bus ya'll...and jump hard.

Designer To Know: PPQ

2009-05-12T09:59:00.006-05:00

So normally I know about all the major designers out there. But I just found out about this label called PPQ. They were founded in '92 by Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker. They have serious followers like Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, Agyness Deyn, and Sienna Miller.

Based in London, these clothes are for the eclectic, sophisticated hippie London girl. Think Rainbow Bright, mixed with Janice Joplin, sprinkled with some Russian architecture, and inspired by your kitchen wallpaper from 1979. And there you go. Confused? Don't be...when you see the pictures you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

And if you think the clothes are extra busy...thats because the designers are too. They also run a record label called 1234 Records. Ah, music and fashion unite.

These Boots Are Made For Stalkin'

2009-05-08T12:28:00.006-05:00

Yum Yum Bubble Gum. I HEART shoes...I HEART them real hard.

Alright, let me calm myself.

I found a shoe designer out yonder and I must report.

Camilla Skovgaard is the coolest Dutch bitch since Clogs. She studied couture in Paris, went to shoe school in London, and got her Masters Degree at the Royal College of Art. These days, she's doing a whole lot as the head shoe designer for Matthew Williamson, is chumy-chumy with Saks Fifth out here in the U.S, and has been in every major fashion magazine you could possibly think of... Jealous much?

Just look....LOOK at these shoes, and then wipe the drool from your bottom lip.

Shoes available at shopbop.com if you can afford it.

All That Glitters

2009-05-08T10:06:00.007-05:00

Trend Alert: Shimmer...Shimmer...Shine.

Balmain-Fall 2009

There's a new Trend Alert: Looking like a Disco Ball. If you guys like to be the center of attention like myself, then this is the perfect trend for you.

Chloe- Spring/Summer 2009

Here are a few rules as how to wear it:

1: Do not wear shimmer fabric from head to toe...unless you are 105 lbs. and 5'9 or taller.
2: Do not wear glitter eye shadow or lip gloss...a little shine is acceptable, but the glitter shit you wore to Cheer Camp circa 1996 is not cool.
3: Wear one statement piece, i.e. dress, bolero, jackets, pants....etc.
4: You can tone down a very sparkly piece with nude colors or black to balance it out.
5: Wear it with confidence...no one likes a shy Diana Ross. If you're a diva, be a damn DIVA.

Love Angel Music Baby

2009-05-07T09:19:00.005-05:00

L.A.M.B (Love Angel Music Baby) has just released the pics for their Fall 2009 collection. The new clothes are like a combination between masculine and feminine, Greasers vs. Pink Ladies...and I love it. Many people don't think celebrities can be great fashion designers...however, Miss Gwen Stefani had years of practice. If you can all remember the creations she used to make while in No Doubt....the midriffs, the skirts, the pants.

Anywho, I enjoy the plaid shirts, the butter-soft leather jacket, the baby-blue denim skirt, and my fav the gray motorcycle jacket.
