Sorry ladies for the sporadic posts….I’ve been so busy as of late with upcoming life changing plans that your girl can’t even think straight. But when I am thinking straight, I am usually browsing around on my favorite reads. So my favorite blogger on planet earth Bryan Boy, featured an interesting post in regards to Tom Binns’ latest novelty piece, which was quickly yanked off of Colette. And it came in the form of what looked to be a Chanel J12 watch. Only having the Chanel insignia scribbled out and having “Tom Binns!” printed above…only leaving me scratching my head! Wondering…why in the world would such a super creative designer such as Tom Binns even take it there? Bad enough…luxury brands are battling counterfeiters & trademark infringing fiends on a mission to make a quick buck on the regular – the question of “WHY?” constantly sets off in my head. …

When I first heard found out about Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen’s shoe line in collaboration with Steven Madden, I initially thought that “Hey, now the ladies will have some affordable shoes to wear” – then the reality set in……we are talking about the Olsen twins here! The collection as a whole features interestingly semi-stylish footwear that dons a serious higher price point than the normal Steve Madden labeled shoe which is usually priced around $69.99 up to $250. According to previous reports the Elizabeth & James footwear collection was to be priced around $195 – $500…..(blank stare). So far, I’ve seen price points of $270 – $325 for a collection of shoes that we’ve probably all seen before in some way, shape or form. I don’t really know what to feel about the collection thus far…but I am sure that there will be more to see this coming …

Whew….what a week…right? If you haven’t heard the crazy news this week about Christian Lacroix…then you must have had your eyes heavily pressed on Hollywood gossip sites..ha! I know I have been…shoot have you seen that spectacular video as of yet? (Click Here). But not to stray away from the topic at hand, I was somewhat bummed at the mere fact that Christian Lacroix is planning to file for bankruptcy. It was kind of jolting…seeing as though when I was a kid my mother often talked about how she loved Christian Lacroix….and this all was in the 80′s. And me being lyrically introduced to the designer thanks in part to Lil’ Kim back in the 90′s, I knew right then and there that I had to get my hands on a piece of the Lacroix. And while I didn’t… the recession has hit everyone with a grand slam! Now Lacroix …

Click..clack…Ka-Boom – The 80′s has definitely stepped back into the room! For the past (lets say) four years – we’ve ALL seen an increase on retro trends resurfacing on overdrive. So much so that I’ve often taken note on why would anyone ever go to the extreme to pay astronomical amounts of money on such a trend. As a matter of fact, I remember the days when people would actually make fun of anyone rocking acid-washed garbs. Funny how a few celebrities can turn heads & train the thoughts of fashion junkies….right? Exactly! Acid Wash is everywhere! It’s on T-shirts, shorts, jeans, & even handbags. So far Topshop has fully stocked their shelves with a few basic acid-washed pieces. Net-A-Porter.com already has a pair of Kova & T Acid Wash Jeans on sale that you may want to give a looky-look. And Forever 21 never fails to miss a beat …

What’s up ladies? I know that some of you are getting ready to hit the highway later on today…thanks in part to the Memorial Day holiday. Which means that this weekend is the unofficial start to the summer season. Which means that many of us (including my damn self) needs to get ready to slip my body in a bathing suit. Would you believe it has been years since I put my body into an actual suit? YES! Your girl has shied herself away from the two-piece swimsuits. I don’t know why I always shy away from bikini’s…then again I (personally) feel like it’s equivalent to walking around on the sand in a bra and panties for goodness sake. I’ve always been a one-piece kind of gal. But I can’t front…I have been always curious as to know if I could actually pull off wearing a bikini. OMG…this may sound …
