Trend Files #052 | Every Girl Needs A….Boyfriend Blazer Trend Files #052 | Every Girl Needs A….Boyfriend Blazer

Hey Ladies, I’ve been missing in action due to a very important behind the scenes project that I have been working on all week, hopefully it will be fully completed within the next few hours. Until then, I have a list of “Trend Filing” to catch up on. One in particular comes in the lovely form of the “Boyfriend Blazer” which has really been grabbing my attention a lot this summer. Despite the awkward temperatures that have been taking over the island of Manhattan, you wouldn’t believe how many women have been spotted working blazer jackets in the middle of the summer. And it’s just not for work attire either. Paired against cut off shorts, leggings, you name it – the boyfriend jacket has become a staple piece that might fight itself on everyone’s radar come Fall. So far, I’ve taken full view of muted hues that go perfectly with …

Trend Files #051 | Multi Colored Nails A Go! Trend Files #051 | Multi Colored Nails A Go!

Multi colored nails are definitely a go! Don’t ask me why…but I think that celebrities have plucked through the pages of Punky Brewster circa 1986, and have fast forwarded towards 2009 on a new spree of colorful ideas. Granted, there are those who snubbed the idea of neon hues, air brushed acrylic tips, and are now cooing over neatly cut and filed nails coated in thick coatings of their favorite shade of summer. Lauren Conrad has taken the month of July into her grasp, showing off glittering patriotic hues, along with mixing metallic with neutral color schemes. Conrad hasn’t been the only starlet to hit the scene with a colorful set – Queen Latifah has donned a black and white colorway during the BET awards. Rapper Eve mixed things up (last year) with a Minx manicure, and Solange has made various appearances with a tricked out set of ultra bright …

Trend News #015 | Chanel Goes VA-ROOM: Chanel Customized Motorcycle Trend News #015 | Chanel Goes VA-ROOM: Chanel Customized Motorcycle

It’s the summer…which usually means that the news reels are slower than slow. Then again perhaps it’s just me moving at snails speed. Last Friday, locals who passed by the Chanel boutique on Rue Royale in Paris had a first glimpse of Unkie Karl who was shooting the press kit for Chanel’s pre-spring collection “Starting Point”. While Lagerfeld modeled in his usual stance, models Baptiste Giacobini & Lara Stone stood in front of a sporty customized motorcycle for the French couturier. According to WWD the low rider is reminiscent of the one seen in the movie “The Wild Ones” featuring the late Marlon Brando. Oh and if you think that you will see reproductions of these floating across your city streets…please think again! More views after the jump.

Summer has finally arrived….FINALLY!
The humidity has taken over and many of us are taking in the sun without a care in the world. Then again, there are those who are in full preparation to keep Fall & Winter on the brain as the summer runs it’s course. Copenhagen based Wood Wood is knowing for mixing the underground with avant-garde – creating a serious collection made for the practical shopper. This Fall/Winters collection reminds me of the 80′s – where the look was muted amongst earth tone hues and industrial silhouettes. And if you ask me….it’s indeed Hippie friendly all around. Check o ut the collection after the jump!

Trend Files #050 | Is Rihanna Really A Cut Above The Rest? Trend Files #050 | Is Rihanna Really A Cut Above The Rest?

So basically yesterday I spent the entire day in front of the computer screen drawing a total blank. And if you follow me on Twitter you may understand why! But aside from the spur of the moment memory loss….and dazed & confused look on my face, I browsed through my various photo accounts only to take a close view at our girl Rihanna. I don’t know about you but I’ve realized that this season – notable women have found themselves itching to be buzzed cut. Could it be the humidity that has everyone ready to take off a piece of their locks? Or has euro trends finally found itself embedded in the skulls of our favorite celebrities. I’m saying….even Carmen Electra shaved both sides of her hair…(BTW isn’t she kind of old to be doing this?). Anyway, I am curious as to know if head shaving is the new black? …
