Keep does eco friendly footwear, docker styled shoes that go for $100. These are definitely too cute.

Melanie Fiona x Subway Series

2009-10-19T17:04:00.000-07:00

You gotta love Melanie Fiona, because the girl can blow. With a love of new york and the music that beams through all the streets of new york. I'm just waiting for this next single to hit, 'cause I love this girl.

Kanye West x Spike Jonze

2009-10-19T16:01:00.000-07:00

We all know Kanye West is an artist without a doubt. He takes his music to a different level, whether we may like it or not. Yes he may be cocky or have his asshole ways, but honestly, as long as he stays true to his artistic visions, I could care less. Kanye has decided to bless us with another artistic outlet. Here is his short film title "We Were Once A Fairytale".

As I was watching this video, all I could do was feel sorry for the kid. The little monster inside of him is finally dead I guess. Different without a doubt, and makes you wonder about him and his life in the limelight.

Jimmy Choo Sneak Peak

2009-10-04T08:18:00.000-07:00

Gone But Not Forgotten

2009-10-04T08:11:00.000-07:00

I know I know I know...its been over a month now since I have last written to you guys...SORRY!!!!! A lot has been going on in my life personally so it was hard for me to manage everything. I'm entering a new chapter in my life, trying to change things up a bit. Hence you can see the new cut that I had been dying to finally get, and voila! So I am back at school again, doing and internship, working at a crappy job, and trying to live up life. Working my way to that good life and giving you guys the music, art and fashion that is NYC LOVE AFFAIR!

RIP DJ AM

2009-08-29T09:31:00.000-07:00

"New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york aint always what it seems…" was the last twitter stat that Adam Goldestin better known as, DJ Am last posted on Tuesday August 25th. He was found dead yesterday in his apartment, the cause is still unknown and under investigation. I gotta say its crazy because we all remember the plane crash that he and friend Travis Barker survived the plane crash in South Carolina while 4 other passengers were killed. DJ Am died at the age of 36.

Sick

2009-08-14T09:04:00.000-07:00

I found this little experiment while checking out this website my friend was telling me about with all these new inventions, ideas, and just theories. Here is one that I had to post called the Humanthesizer.

Humanthesizer, a joint creation between electronic musician Calvin Harris, Sony Music UK, and Bare conductive body ink, which turned 15 bikini-clad ladies into a giant human synthesizer capable of playing Harris's latest single, Ready For The Weekend. The performers stand on the pads, and touch each other on the hands or body to complete a circuit and trigger a sound. Harris, his hands painted with the ink, played the main keyboard line and effects by interacting with a row of eight girls. The rhythmic portions of the track were played by seven dancers performing a carefully choreographed routine. Watch the video below.

Kicks Corner

2009-08-14T07:53:00.000-07:00

So Ive been checking out a few different sneakers that I have been feeling as usual. And I am just going to make one giant post with them all.

Sister of Mark Ronson, Samantha Ronson, has come out with a collab to the much loved supra for these exclusive edition black and gold kicks. ::Thumbs up::

As many of you might know, sergio rossi and puma came out with a collection last season. These kicks were a remake of the classic puma clyde however they were made in a satin material for the women. Take a look at some of the new colors he has incorporated this season round in the video called "A Tennis Affair"

These Pierre Hardy Leather Hi Top are the new AW '09 line big hit. Trey Songz will be seen wearing the all black patent leather version in Drake's "Successful" video. These run for about a quick $900.

These Black and White canvas and leather kicks accented with a striped lining is brought to you from both Vespa and Adidas. This is an easy compromise for the quick Italian driver and the cool laid back new yorker. You can find these at the Adidas retailers for $120.

These kicks come from a collab with Admiral Team and Tass Standard. These quilted leather, suede, and strip of patent leather can run you a quick $130. Good luck finding these bad boys, they seems to be sold out everywhere, or you must be able to read the Japanese websites that actually sell them. ::Fingers Crossed::

Teyana Taylor x M.O.B.

2009-08-13T09:36:00.000-07:00

Married to the Mob or as I always love calling them M.OB. (Most Official Bitches), has come together in collaboration with Trek Star artist Teyana Taylor have come together for the Fall 2009 look book. Teyana now being the new face of Married to the Mob, which I think fits perfectly.

John Paul Thurlow Covers This

2009-08-09T21:08:00.000-07:00

Recently I ran across this artist John Pail Thurlow. He is an artist that takes different magazine covers and does a different rendition of them. He takes most of these pictures from magazine covers he loves. Sometimes he will make his own version of a cover. This is definitely a man who knows his art. Love it. ♥

You guys definitely need to check out more of his work. You guys CANT sleep on him. Hit up his blog "Cover".

GOOOO Target!

2009-08-09T20:44:00.000-07:00

So Target has added yet another designer to their notch of high end collab designers. And this time around it will be rodarte. This should definitely be something interesting to see, from their knit wear to their Star Wars (R2D2) inspired heels. What will they bring for the everyday consumer? This line will contain 55 pieces and will be dropping Dec.20 til Feb 6. The price range will go from $9.99 for socks to $79.99 for a faux leopard fur coat. Looking forward to it.

Going In At The Studio

2009-08-01T08:37:00.000-07:00

My boy Edel from Gem Stars hit me up yesterday letting me know how he had Esso and Donny Goines in the studio with him and they did a freestyle. Now I am very picky when it comes to my selection of rap, 'cause all you hear in the radio half the time is garbage (I know I'm not the only one who thinks that). But I've been put on to some of these artists music and its pretty chill. So I had to post this video up.

These fellas are hella funny.

Here are two must have clutches.

1st is the lastest Chanel clutch that will be coming out in fall '09 in color waves of black, red and the silver that you see here.

If you are like me and can't afford this, wanna get the closest? Check out Good Wood. As you figured it's wood designed all hand crafted. Here is the closest to the simple design that goes for $20.

However they do have more funky fun designs that you might want to check out as well. They have rings as well as earrings and necklaces. They run from $10 to $40 dollars.

Its now 4 in the morning and I cant sleep cuz I am thinking about my crazy week next week (My Birthday week!). So as I'm surfing the net, look at what I come across. Beyonce - Sweet Dream. And I must say this time around she definitely didn't fail. I like the different scenes, outfits, idea of it, and basically everything about it. However choreography did have its moments, but otherwise definitely a great idea.

Remember Michael Jackson

2009-06-26T14:37:00.000-07:00

I know yesterday I was hanging out with my friend when I got the text message from about 5 people at the same time saying that Michael Jackson was dead, and me being the person I am didn't believe it. I thought i was another mass text message that would turn out to be false. My friend kept saying, If its not on CNN, i don't believe it. And I had to agree with her. And it wasn't until my sister had confirmed it for me I still didn't believe it. Its so surreal.

Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009) died at the age of 50. He was an icon in both the music, fashion, and art world. He was definitely an icon in my time. He brought something to every ones life, from the Jackson 5 to Michael Jackson doing it on his own. He is a legend and will never be forgotten. Here are a few videos in his memory. We love you Michael Jackson.

And I had to post this as well, the influence that Michael Jackson has had on the R&B and Hip Hop

You will be missed.

Sample Sale

2009-06-24T07:01:00.000-07:00

Who the hell doesn't love sample sales and who doesn't love accessories? Right now I know accessories is more like the root of all evil in my house. As much as I try not to spend money on clothes, it just seems as though its spent elsewhere....jewelry. Which I think is pretty horrible considering my sister is also a jewelry designer. Yea I know, crazy, but I have chains upon chains upon, bracelets and what have you that's basically all being tangled up. No Bueno...I know. But umm this upcoming sample sale just makes me want to add on.. :-/

While checking out their website once again, I fell in love with these earrings, $175...I hope they have something similar in the sample sale that fits my piggy bank..broke piggy bank, lol. Check out the Ken & Dana design website.

It was a fun night, but people do me a favor and definitely check out Ms.Solano. She has an AMAZING stage presence. I tried to record it but my camera was definitely not having it that night but in the meantime check out a past performance of hers. She's a DJ as well. Don't Sleep on her guys, trust. She is definitely going places.

The World We Call Life

2009-06-16T06:50:00.000-07:00

As some of you may know, there is a lot going on right now, especially during this economic times. I have been going through a lot mentally, thinking about where my future is headed with this clothing line I am going to drop next summer, the job that I am currently at and the classes I am taking. I have been doing a lot of reading lately on fashion and whats going to be expected of me as I get further into my career. As I look into this whole ordeal of fashion, and what people are doing, what they are illustrating, some of it is some of the greatest thing I have ever seen, and some...not so much. I know its the same every generation. But I feel like some people are losing the idea of fashion, and everyone is trying to be a "fashionista" or "fashionisto". Well I am here to say, I don't want to be fashionista, that word no longer means anything. Everyone is fashionista by showing who they are just through their clothes. More than half of those people who call themselves that are usually Label Whores, and I have nothing against that, do whatever works for you. But that doesn't mean you are above the next person who is rocking something just as nice but without the name brands.

Basically what I am saying is basically is that fashion has become less inspiring, along with music. I feel like I gotta look through the back alleys to find something that really makes me say, "WWWOOOWWW thats crazy!" Other than that my usual expression is.."ehh thats cute". But who would want to wear or listen to anything that is just "ehh cute"? Maybe its just me and my own opinion.

But I am really going to try to bring you something new, something different, a twist, something with a breath of fresh air come summer '10. As for now I will try my best to report something that is amusing or can contain you in the meantime.

Later ♥

New Artist Corner

2009-05-28T11:34:00.000-07:00

So the other night I'm talking to my boy Bryan, and he's telling me about this new artist coming out called June. Being the person I am, all I am hearing is BLAH BLAH BLAH because as you all know,I DON'T DO RAP, or at least not these days, but this one actually caught me. The Bronx native is definitely making a name for himself. Here's a lil bio.

Born and raised in the home of hip hop aka The South Bronx. June was 9 years old when he discovered his talent after sneaking out to Bronx hot spot Panache and spitting an on the spot freestyle while his brother DJed. Since that fateful night June has been building his sound and style from the street battles on the corner to some of New York City's greatest venues. June has collaborated and written for many artists including multi-platinum producer Ron Browz and platinum DJ Webstar. Still representing Webside BX to the fullest, June is currently writing and recording his upcoming "F.A.M.E." series of EP releases to bring his genre bending sounds to new audiences.

Here is his latest song "Watch My Moves" but to hear more about this up and coming artist check out his myspace page or a few clips off of his youtube.
