Before I continue on…I know that my post have been LAX for a hot spell! And that is because there is a lot of family issues going on behind the scene, so please forgive me! Hopefully, everything will mellow out in due time. (Sigh)….Alright so let’s get into today’s posts shall we? For starters…if you know me well you know that I am an avid fan of HBO’s hit television series True Blood. So much so that I literally put my blackberry on vibrate, close my doors, and shut off the outside world to get in tune for those cool 55 minutes of pure action. Since last summer, I would hear the endless buzz behind the True Blood. And at first I thought “Oh gosh, yet another vampire show!” – and it took an entire weekend to scroll through episode after episode just to fall victim to …

You gals already know how much I adore Rachel Roy….so much so that I get flash backs of finally meeting one of my designing idols up close and personal. Such a lovely lady…let tell you! Anyway! It seems as though our favorite NYC -based designer has been globetrotting recently. Making stops in London, soaking up inspiration from every where she goes. Roy posted on twitter (last Tuesday):
“I’m excited to be working with @EstelleDarlings on a jewelry collection, which will debut in Spring 2010. –RR “
And who can resist Estelle’s clean-cut sense of style? Totally adore her! In addition to many up coming events and projects – Roy is prepping herself to the fullest degree. Especially with the nation wide launch of Rachel – Rachel Roy for Macys Department Stores slated for the next upcoming weeks, Roy already has her eyes set on opening a Pop-Up store in Soho (111 Spring …

I know I am like a day late on this…..and while everyone seems to be at a high road with Lily Allen being the new face of Chanel’s A/W ‘09 campaign ads…I’m still wondering why did Unkie Karl really have to go with Lily? For some reason I feel that this was a last call shoot. Or better yet, the Karlster needs a better staff to help shoot him some interesting names of folks who make rock things the right now. (Clearing throat)…perhaps we could use some Estelle, Zoe Kravitz, dang I’ll even take a quick glance at Lady Gaga right now. I’m saying…I loved me some Lily (circa 2006), but it’s like now her presence (like so many celebrities) lately is so irrelevant. Shoot sometimes I wonder why I even bother to pay attention to them (celebrities) in the first place. Then again I’d be out …

Oh damn, I just remembered that I’ve been seriously lacking on the sneaker front! Please….my brain has froze itself someplace between thinking about food, along with other high demanding issues that continuously plague my life. Since I’ve totally neglected my second love (food comes first) – I decided to check out one of my many favorite sites Sneaker Freaker to catch up on some sneaker news….and it lead me to think about reason why Adidas will continue to remain my third favorite brand (Nike, first with many others stuck in second place). With it’s initial SLVR collection launch early this year, Adidas set fourth on stepping back into the game with a very fashionable concept. Yet, I (personally) have yet to grasp anything the collection has to offer. If you are looking for logos plastered on everything….think again! The collection screams minimal across the board. Which is perfect for …

I’ve always had a thing for denim vests. I mean…it was the hottest thing since “sour power” candy back in the day. And still has managed to become one of those iconic staple pieces….well at least I like to think so. Yeah, we know that fashion is all based on sheer opinion…recycled trends…which can make for a boring combination if you stand around long enough to think about it. But let’s be real…the recession has everyone (including me) making due with what we already have set in our closets. Ah…no more bragging about what you’ve copped during the spur of the moment rage of spending! Who cares if your bag costs over $3,000….and who could give a damn about the next hottest trend….right? WRONG! Realistically, you can do so much even when the Dow Jones continues to kick everyone in the ass. Think “REUSABLE” always…that’s why I think everyone should …
