missed NY fashion week? don't worry...babe, i gotcha

ok, ok...i know...what were the common themes? who had the runways looking extra crazy? who had it on lock? and best of all...who were my favorites? don't worry...i've got all the pics you need and i've got my ever so opinionated commentary you love.

before i break down my favorites...the biggest trends:


LUXURIOUS FUR

dennis brasso

TO DIE BOOTS

rodarte

FANTASTIC PATTERNS

matthew williamson

ALL BLACK

cynthia steffe


...and much more to come. :)

this...is...the...remix

i'm not sure how many of you know about the singer/rapper/actor from degrassi, drake...but he's got a couple great songs under his belt. however, if you do a remix with my girl lykke li...for one of her all time hottest songs, little bit...well, what can i say? you get lots of respect from me. anyone who's paid attention to my blog, will know the original, but of you know i HAD to give you the remix. whichever one you like better, they're both great in my book. their voices blend together terrifically.

listen for yourself.

my idol is preggers!

thank perez! always one up on every bit of juicy celebrity gossip...
fashion icon kate moss is preggers. :) sooooo happy for her!!
ignore the comments from perez all over the pic...you know how he is. LOL

new elizabeth james line

mary kate and ashley are upping the ante. loving the new stuff!

item of the week: L.A.M.B. shoes

ok...so i HAVE to have these. period. these bad boys are INSANE!!! and $370 is not a bad price. gwenny, you continue to out-do yourself. thanks girl! :)



i likessss these too...yumm

smh...hair these days. yuck!

ok, really. of all people, i respect creativity and freedom of expression. but seriously...the new hair phenomenon with celebrities...with the extra growth on the back of dudes head. please. that is unacceptable.

enter, kanye:


seriously, not only does it look like your hair is thinning on the side, but geeeez yeezy. your poof in the back is not cute either. i mean, people look up to you, dude. how about we DON'T influence the kids to rock that mess of hair...

enter, bobby v:
(couldn't find a pic, but they show it several times in the new vid beep)

ummm, i really need his peter cottontail to go. who told him that a poofy rattail was attractive. ugh. just b/c you are a celeb, doesn't mean that you can just pull off any old style.

"i got my mojo back baby, oh behave!"

so i hear i've been missed!!! i admit i HAVE been away from my public too long (lol) and i have to apologize for my absence. between school, work and the party life...i haven't had a moment to bring you my opinionated fashion expertise. NOT TO WORRY EVERYONE! i'm back!!! thanks to the encouraging nudges of several friends and faithful readers...i'm jumping back on the horse with the latest and greatest. owwww! hold on to your seats ladies and gents...

btw...thought i'd share some of my adventures with you, since i've been away. enjoy, my loves:

new years w/my lovely ladies at one of my favorites, park

he baRACKs!

he is certainly not lacking in the swagger category. he makes a light-colored button up and dark slacks look like a milli bucks! ::sigh:: how can you not love him? and how excited are we that we have 4 years of him!

another excuse to not feel guilty for all the money you spend during the holidays

yes, yes. i know. we all get that feeling in the pit of our stomachs after we've blown through a few thousand in an hour during our xmas excursions. (esp if you're like me, and most of the money was spent on you, not the gifts you thought you were gonna buy. lol) but what if your money spent was donated to charity? cha-ching! easiest way to feel better about yourself. and i'm not talking you walk buy the salvation army bucket and drop in a couple quarters...i'm talking real donations here. :) for example:

Kenneth Cole is offering:





and one of my faves, rugby is offering some cool places to donate too!
go to their website, Rugby Social Action


Blake Mycoskie is not your everyday entrepreneur. A former contestant on The Amazing Race, he was learning to play polo in Argentina — not in a business school classroom — when he came up with the idea for TOMS Shoes. Dismayed to see so many barefoot kids, he committed to an unusual business plan: You buy a pair of TOMS, he gives a pair to a kid that needs them. This summer, Rugby is offering specially designed, limited-edition TOMS, marking the first-ever design collaboration for either company.


Model and social activist Lauren Bush is accustomed to setting trends. She was merely an undergrad at Princeton when she caught the attention of the United Nations, who asked her to become a student spokesperson for their World Food Program (WFP). Moved by the hunger she saw around the world, she created a line of “FEED bags” to raise money and awareness for the WFP’s School Feeding Program: When you buy one of the burlap totes, $20 goes to school lunch for a hungry child. This summer, the original FEED bags will be available in Rugby stores.

up and coming

although this is primarily a fashion blog, you know i like to point out people in the music that have caught my attention. this dude, charles hamilton...oh man, i lovesssss him! this new song "brooklyn girls" grabbed me. i can always use a real laid-back song to ease me out of my boom-boom, bang-bang down south beats.
he's an "uptown boy with soho flavor", and i think he's definitely worth checking out. i may not have anything to say about him fashion-wise...although, sonic is cute, and he's not afraid of the color pink, apparently. a man wearing pink with confidence....nothing sexier, in my opinion.
so go check him out:
His MySpace
His Blog
and the vid:


did i mention, he's a cutie?

the epitome of awwwww

if you ever wondered if karl lagerfeld was always that cute and huggably fly...wonder no more. courtesy of T Mag, i'm totally ga-ga over this pic of him. yes. i did say that. "awwwwwwwwwwwww"



and speaking of karl....who DOESN'T want this bag? lol

making undies look super hawt!

yessssssss!!!! i know, i know, i'm totally cheating! i just couldn't wait for the victoria's secret fashion show :)) hot girls, sexy lingerie, amazing designs, and even a performance by Usher...all under one roof. oh all the colors and the feathers! i can't get enough. BUT, until december 3rd, i'll have settle for the pics. enjoy!

ps: boy does alessandra look AMAZING after just having a baby! and adrianna--the newly engaged beauty...she always looks hot!!! magnifique!

feathers are for more than just dusting

these are the hottest ties i've seen in a long time. i'm not so sure you could wear them to work without turning a few heads, but a nite out? perfect timing. just think, it gives a woman just one more reason to feel up your chest. lol

feet ablaze!

ooooh! limited edition nike's! rough and tumble blazer sneaks. found 'em on Urban Outfitters website, if you were wondering.
