if you don't mind showing off

anyone who knows me, knows i'm not one to really wear labels all over my clothes. in fact, i thrive on buying designer products and letting people wonder where i get my stuff. but i know some people like that kinda thing...and you know what, these weren't half bad. if a guy had these on with jeans (long as they aren't rolled up like the Bixby's i just talked about in the blog before this) it wouldn't be noticeable. so these can get a stamp from me.

more on Benjamin Bixby

for those of you who haven't had a chance to see what the line looks like, The New York Times provided an excellent pic of the recently released collection. yes guys...those are plus fours they're wearing. and no, i don't REALLY expect every guy to catch on and wear them. however, they do make for a very interesting look. if you can pull it off, i say go for it. over here in dc tho...not sure it's gonna fly.

KERLI KOIV

simply put, i adore this girl. she's beautiful, has a great cd (Love is Dead, Island Def Jam), not to mention she wears the most awesome outfits when she performs. check her out in her vid for "Walking on Air".

more funny business

sigh. you knew it was coming. i found another tee shirt website and i HAD TO share. The Cotton Factory. More words than graphics, but funny nonetheless.

Wellies!

oh it's wellingtons season again. let the rain commence as long as i've got these sweet boots by Hunter. you can find these at Saks, ranging from $115-$145. i absolutely love love love the silver ones....and the red ones.....and the...ok, ok. i like them all :)



they also come in shorter versions, with laces and in black and yellow (on saks website)....HOWEVER if you check out the HUNTER website (which i just discovered myself),there's so many more color choices and even comfy socks to fit inside! I'm SOLD!

CLICK HERE! for the Hunter website :)

oh no, not another one...

“I can’t say when it will be released, but it’s definitely going to happen,” -Rihanna

i already discussed my infatuation with Andre's new Benjamin Bixby line. i'm a little excited for the development of M.I.A.'s collection with Marc Jacobs...seeing as she's such an innovator anyway. and we all know Justin Timberlake is doing a little something with William Rast (keywords being, "a little"). then there's all the other ones floating around, Diddy, Madonna for H&M, Beyonce, Aubrey of Danity Kane, Pharrell, Jessica Simpson, Gwen...could i go on anymore??? (uh, yes....) but as for each and every celeb (mostly singers) coming out with a clothing line these days...i mean c'mon....RIHANNA???? sweetie, i love your look and all, but we all know you don't dress yourself. it's called a stylist...and boy does she have a good one. you know, i'll even give her enough leeway to say it was ok that she put her name on some umbrellas. but what on God's green earth made her think that suddenly she was an expert on fashion? pretty much, people will be buying a line that she doesn't even design herself...all b/c she's endorsing it. and what happens to the people who come up with the concepts? who knows...

the thing about tats

Victoria Beckham and Christina Aguilara neck tats
as an avid fan of tattoos, i thought it was very interesting for The NY Times to bring up a current issue with tattoos that i've been noticing myself. not only are people everywhere starting to cover themselves with tats, but even if they aren't covered, they're making it a lot more visible. neck, wrist and hand tattoos are all over the workplace. i've got a couple tattoos, but i've always positioned places on the body that i could choose to show or not. recently i've thought about getting either a wrist or behind the ear tattoo...but i still feel stuck in that "work-appropriate" rut. although i know i won't always work at a law firm, and i plan on being in the fashion arena, where tats are not a discrimintory factor on your work ability...i still have my doubts. but should i?

in a time period where being marked up is cool...you have to wonder when the "rockstar" trend is going to fall off...


Willie Northpole - "body marked up"

...when lil wayne and travis barker are going to be 70 and their tats aren't going to look so hot anymore. lol

Travis Barker

*sigh* check out the article...it brought up a lot of good points. you decide for yourself. and when you do...let me know. i need some help in this body altering decision process.

Proenza Schouler


D Collection


Free People


DSquared²

to die for.

UGH! more sneaker pumps???

THIS STYLE WILL ALWAYS BE LAME!
yes. i like sergio rossi.
yes. i like puma.
no. I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM TOGETHER.
please excuse me, i just threw up a little in my mouth and i need to go spit it out.





but i guess the guys sergio/puma clash isn't so bad. but definitely nothing to scream about. actually...it looks like a regular puma shoe to me....

i <3 you tees

saw this website this morning...apparently now you can <3 anything that is 6 letters or less. not only that...but the shirts are organic!


psst...btw, my name is spelled bianca...in case you were wondering. :)

"I <3" tees

Lady GaGa

not only did i like the song....but whoever styled her for this shoot is awesome.

lady gaga ft colby o'donis & akon - just dance

carry on...

ahhhhhh! you know, as much as i desperately need this vacay that's coming up in november, i feel like i'm not ready. so here i am at 11:30 at night, searching for the perfect carry-on bag for the plane. with all the rules and regs at the airport these days (esp the new $50 fee for a second bag), i need to find a bag that's big enough to suit my needs (like an entire outfit-since i'm sooooo worried that they might lose my luggage), but doesn't look like a big floppy mess. Tumi, one of my fav bag makers has some awesome stuff...i don't know why i didn't think of checking them sooner. hmmmm, maybe i was subconsciously trying to remind myself that $700 for a bag could be $700 more to spend in puerto rico....

oh wtf...i like them.

interesting tights

i've already decided that i'm rocking tights all fall/winter season...so i've been in search of the oddest colors and patterns i can find. try sockdreams.com...

Sock Dreams

Super Supras!

after getting tired of seeing every dude in nike dunks...i really <3 these right now!

i forgot my boys!

all this talk about fashion week and i didn't even include my boys!!! there was some HOT FIYAH on the runway. I suggest you all check out these designers:

• Dsquared²
  
  
  
  • bringing the 3 piece suit back!
    
  • shorts and high socks...i can dig it
    
  
  
  
  
  
• Duckie Brown
  
  
  
  • interesting take on the "bike messenger"
    
  • mostly darker colors
    
  
  
  
  
• Number (N)ine
  
  
  
  • ok, minus the lace and wigs, the intricate deailing for these artistical "masterpieces" is what i'm looking at. i do not encourage this look for most straight men.
    
  • like the cream hoodie!
    
  
  
  
  
• 3.1 Philip Lim
  
  
  
  • clean, crisp, comfy
    
  • like the blazers
    
  
  
  
  
  
• Emporio Armani
  
  
  
  • classic but edgy. the outfits scream "i'm a success, pay me."
    
  • wouldn't necessarily suggest any of the satin looking aladdin pants or the deep-V neck shirts
