Another celeb is showing that she has an itch to do a luxury collection. And this celebrity comes in the form of Chloë Sevigny. Now don’t get me wrong…I love Sevigny…acting wise! But as far as fashion is concerned, I really don’t see the big deal on what she can actually bring to the table. Seriously! I think everyone has had their fair share of celebrity-infused collaborative sets. Well, at least I know that I’ve had my fair share of “such and such by…blah blah blah”. After a while, looking at spur of the moment collaborations becomes very lax. If you guys have been following the scene, you would know that Chloe recently did a collaboration with Opening Ceremony…which really made my eyes bleed. And if you think that I am sounding a tad bit harsh on this Tuesday….well the truth really hurts. If you don’t believe me…please (CLICK …
BLACK FOLK! Yeah, I am saying it! Only black folk! Now some would say “Tee, T-Pain’s purchase is no different from millionaires who spend hundreds of thousands jewelry”. True indeed…but I think it’s really about the process of how it’s done that doesn’t make it such a topic of debate. So when I got word of T-Pain’s recent fashion accessory – I really thought that my friends were joking. I’ll be the first to say that Hip-Hop music & the figures in it have been a complete turn off (to me) for the past few years. A modern menstrual show…and yes…I said it! If it’s not tricked out gold teeth, big gaudy chains, and the same old booty clapping oiled up rear ends that are plastered across the screen – no one finds interest in the gimmick. Mr. Autotunes aka T-Pain, proud fully featured his $410,000 piece …
Since February sneaker heads up and down NYC, when “Dunk” crazy…thanks in part the Nylon Magazine x Nike Sportswear collaboration. The collection features a four vibrant colorways of; green, pink, yellow, & blue. For months everyone (including their grandmothers) have been trying to get their hands on a pair…and thanks to my friends I was able to snag a pair before they hit the shelves. So now here is your chance to cop them now via Urban Outfitters. So far the only two colorways available are the green and the pink…which I LOVE! I am definitely in love with the pink versions. But you better move with the quickness….cause you ladies know that these will be sold out with two blinks of an eyelash! Check out the Urban Outfitters locations after the jump!
You’ve already scrolled forward into September & October’s looks slated to hit local H&M spots coming this fall. Now scroll back into the months of July & August for a quick spell. Where H&M is offering a dope collection of goodies. Crazy enough….H&M is really offering up some interesting pieces for the next couple of months. One of the most interesting key pieces found in the collection has to be the military band jacket – which undeniably has to be one of the most interesting trends for this season. More footwear is coming onto the H&M scene, along with handbags, and a variety of essential accessories. So stop staling and start collecting your list of “must buys” for the months of July & August.

I have a weakness for accessories….and it’s so serious that my jewelry box has overflowed itself across my dressing table. So when my girl Nire hit me up about Je M’aime jewelry…my eyes blinked heavily with delight. Je M’aime is a new jewelry line based straight out of NYC. Bringing a refreshing perspective to contemporary accessories, the Je M’aime collection offers a bold presence to the naked eye. Toying with the idea of masculinity & femininity, Je M’aime explores the interaction of rawness and refinement. The debut collection consists of five, two, & three finger rings made out of 24kt vermeil. I’m definitely loving the collection thus far, and it’s all up for grabs now via Jemaimenyc.com – Check out more of the highlights after the jump!
