Harpers Bazaar x Sesame Street

Sunny days...thinking bout...uh, oh, shit. I grew up watching Sesame Street. I mean, how else would I have known that many words begin with the letter X. Harpers Bazaar is putting together some of the hottest fall looks from your fav designers and some of your fav characters from Sesame Street for a dope spread in the mag. Keep an eye out...this is def a collectors item.

Andre fucks me good!

Me being part round the way girl...I have a tendancy to like certain things that aren't as pricey...such as Andre. My girl and I refer to the champagne as our man, and boy is he good to us!!! Priced at $3.99...its by far the cheapest champagne and most easiest to find. I love their california brut, its my fav. The buzz is good, and it leaves you without the typical headache. Don't get me wrong...nothing can fuck with my Veuve...but Andre is man enough for me.

Seeing in 3D

Nail polish has become somewhat trendy...meaning what was in last summer, may not be in this summer. I love color, and I change my nail color as much as I change my mind about men. This fall I want to change it up, and do more dark colors & metals. I was visiting my favorite nail shop in Chicago, Fantasy Nails, and found the dopest silverish hologram color by China Glaze called Lets do it in 3D. It has a futuristic, fashion foward look to it, and will be one of my colors rocked for the fall.

Supra TK Society X-Games....

My homie likes these...but, there is no release date. Also rumored to be only $50.

Rain Rain Go Away

So I thought that my Marc Jacob Rainboots or "wellies", were enough for me to battle out the crazy Chicago weather...until I saw the RL ones. And I couldn't help but to dig the matching tote bag...great to store the umbrella. Lets prepare for this crazy fall.

Bootlicker

Thought I would have to resort to Ebay for the legendary Ralph Lauren Ranger Cookie Boot...but come to find out...they re-released it in July. Then I came across another problem...the smallest size in mens is an 8. Boo. Womp, womp.

So Fresh...

Would this be a good car warming gift?

My inpiration for the Fall....

God put me on this Earth to Create and Inspire...but sometimes people suck so much from me that I need to refuel. Well its time for refueling...and I am digging in the crates. I love a girl that kicks ass. Part Tomboy...part round the way girl...part girly. After seeing Bebe ads for Fall '09, and Krush Groove, I have been looking to Sheila E. for that inspiration. I am the worlds biggest Prince fan...so anyone involved in that camp is dope to me. I am crossing my fingers...and hopefully I can get back on track.
Check out one of the dopest percussionists in the game...Ms. Sheila E.

Sir & Madame tees...

Solemates Chicago is growing as a boutique and branching out to other avenues, such as releasing their own line, Sir & Madame. The line will include cut & sew pieces, tees, and much more. As I said in the previous post, due to urban streetwear dying down and taking a new route, alot of boutiques are starting to take notice. Solemates Sir & Madame tees are soft, simple, and dope. It features a retro 20s sort of art..hence the name of the line. I will be copping me a few, for me and "him".

Fall '09 MOB ft. Teyana Taylor

I guess these are the new pics for the MOB Fall campaign featuring Teyana Taylor. I know that MOB is trying to step it up on the high end tip due to the current death of streetwear. Teyana is rocking some dope pieces indeed.

There has been a change of plans for this Friday...Santigold will be at my party!!!! Yes...she will be hosting her Lollapalooza Afterparty @ Funky Buddha.

Got that GoodWood

I am an accessory whore, like seriously. I have 4 ft bins full of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, sunglasses, rings, scarfs, condoms...okay, TMI. The 3 finger and 4 finger rings are becoming quite popular, more than ever now. Especially with the whole retro movement still progressing on, it seems impossible to not want to take part in this fashion. You have many celebs rocking these rings and necklaces that often take you back to a time where you were probably between the ages of 3-5 years old. Well now you can recapture that look with people like GoodWood Nyc. GoodWoods head designer, and owner, Kerri O'Connell was so nice to send me over a few pieces. I love wood accessories, and I instantly fell in love with her rings. She also does customization, which makes it all worth it rocking something personal to you and your style. Added bonus, GoodWood jewelry is affordable...straight recession proof. You can rock any of her pieces with a evening dress, or just a tee and jeans. And with the variety of accessories being offered on the site including pins, pendants, earrings, etc...you will never run out of ideas for things to cop. Check out the pics below.
