Perfect For Your Ego

Okay, I must admit that I DID smirk a little when I saw this tee made
by Public School and probably anyone who sees this might do the same.

Daddy [Likes] Long Legs



Theres no doubting the fact that Christian Cota's Fall 2009 collection is all about the woman with [11 mile] long legs, and I can totally dig that (if the woman actually exsisted). I adore how Cota deliberately went against the grain and saturated this collection with high hems and not a coat in sight. I guess he's an advocate of spreading the gospel of Global Warming. I can hear him now... "Who needs a coat dahling, to be fabulous?!" (lol) Nevertheless, I have no issues suggesting anyone of these looks for a very special night. CARPET IT!!!

I Was Only Doing 40

Its happened once again. No story needed (lol)

All About The Boot

Opening Ceremony launched it's online store today and upon browsing
their men's page, the only thing that touched my brain (instantly) were
these shoes! We're gonna do some digging to discover how Opening
Ceremony has gotten to this point. Meanwhile check out their website

Liberty and Justice?




Nike has decided to release a very limitied edition collection of sneakers using Liberty of London Fabrics (a department astore in london who apprently is known for their patterned fabrics). For those of you interested (eww), these kicks are only available at that store (in LDN). Happy Jetsetting!

[Body Bag] Kiss My Face

Here at Runway Wonderland we encourage the living of a rich (not in
USDs, lol) lifestyle. And there's nothing richer than organic products
made by Kiss My Face. I had the pleasure of trying a number of their
products over the weekend and I've never ever in my life felt so
rejuvenated just by taking a shower or using a foot scrub. Particularly
after trying their Olive & Chamomile Bar Soap and Treat Mint Lip Balm, I
can say that without a doubt, KMF has dedicated its brand to those to
wanna live a rich (not in USDs) and green life.

In Living Colour





Alright... so I went on to NotJustALabel and found these amazing pictures and got lost in "translation" and can't remember who the designer is (beat me!). The use of the primary colors are refreshing to see (as to wear, I'm sure) and the expressin used in the photos just makes me understand it so much more.





Does A Body Good?




Check out Argentinian designer, Juan Hernandez. I dig him.


[Bite Me] Etro Duffle Bag

As of late, it may seem like I've just been into animal skin (mainly
snakeskins)... and maybe I've just become an active advocate for a luxe
lifestyle. I checked out En Advance, one of my favorite boutiques in
the Design District and reunited with the Etro Snakeskin Duffle Bag
(instant drool) that I saw a couple months ago. All I can really say at
this point, I'm gonna be saving up for it ($1,500).

I'm So Fresh

Maybe these commercials had a lot to do with why I have such a dirty obsession with Mentos today. When I was younger, I always believed that after having one of the "freshmakers" I'd have a brilliant idea and save the day doing something fantastic. Of course I discovered that it never really happened, but I still love 'em without a doubt.

I Make Fresh

Who Are You?

Yo Lifestylers! Lately I've (Soulove) been feeling the awakening of an identity crisis. I don't feel that the name fits what I stand for here on Runway Wonderland. FAIR WARNING: If you see a name change.... It's still me!

Disgusted...Apalled....And MORE!!!!!

I have never in my life been more apalled than I have today. Never..
Okay, when it first started, I tried to keep my nose out of it.
Wanted to wait until I got some concrete facts before I made any rational decisions.
BUT...
This right here, puts the nail in the coffin!!!!!!!

JUST LOOK AT HER!!!!!!! Chris Brown should be ashamed of himself.. I am disgusted!!!! I feel like throwing up.

When I first laid eyes on this picture, I had to hold back the tears. It's just awful. Whatever HELL he recieves from the media tomorrow when this gets around and circulating. He deserves every bit of it. Everyone makes mistakes,

But... U know....

When Beauty Rears It's Ugly Face....

Everyone knows that for the past two weeks or more, the big topic of the moment is the whole Chris Brown/Rihanna situation.. Now, here's another blow to the head (no puns intended).


First off, I would like to say, this cover is BEYOND BEAUTIFUL, but WHY?? Why must they give her a People Cover, over such an UGLY, and HURTFUL topic?? The picture in itself looks depressing..but yet it's so inticing, and tantalizing..

BUT....also, it's kinda weird to be printing such a GIGANTIC and CONTROVERSIAL topic, when there is not even one lick of concrete evidence confirmed yet. Of course there is Chri's' EPIC FAIL of a statement. But come on now, "ARGUMENTS, JEALOUSY, AND HOTEL-ROOM TRASHING"? Hmmmm......

LET ME FIND OUT....


Black; Still Beautiful!


After hearing so much about the "Black Out" in the fashion industry from moguls like BethAnn, P.Diddy, & Susan Taylor, word has it that a new monthly magazine which would be published by Nigerian newspaper ThisDay, will be arriving in style during New York Fashion Week. Arise (the magazine), will dedicate its power to the achievements in African fashion, music, & culture.

So as if I wasn't excited enough about an african fashion magazine... Naomi Campbell, Liya Kebede, & Alek Wek destroys the cover of their first issue! I can't even wait to see what the editorials will look like.

Issue No. 1

Inquiring Minds

Some of you may think you're die hard fashionistas and style moguls. But until you know what your designers know and love... then don't bother trying to make your footprint. The Fashion Questionnaire book features an introduction by journalist Michael Specter and 23 answered questionnaires from fashion's most applauded designers. Read hand-written responses from icons like Roberto Cavalli, Carolina Herrera, and Michael Kors. The book comes with blank tests so you and your friends can answer important questions like: Are you more Nicole Miller or Oscar de la Renta?

I personally think this would be great book to have a parties. I wouldn't mind setting that on the coffee table. (lol) But your book here.

Shaken, Not Stirred!

Okay, there is no reason why this photo shouldn't turn me on. Its so code error (code error: verb, a state of overload, to be so many things all at once).

Editorial: Bang - Bang

Magazine: Numéro #97

You Can Drive On The Catwalk Too!?

Lamborghini Concept Heel. Fiyah right? Be careful ladies!

I Rocks the Mic



Once again, its a Flud watch that has caught my attention. If this is flyer than a kite, then I have no idea what is. Buy your Flud Watch here

Buy Me a Coat



When you see collections like Catherine Holstein's Fall 2009, you can't help but to ask yourself "wouldn't that be a great addition to my wardrobe?" Now, of course, I didn't ask myself that question, but it sure felt good to think about seeing it in true life (lol).

Never Snort Your Coke

For the 2009 fashion week, Manolo Blahnik has collaborated with Coca Cola once again. The result is a new sole for the iconic coke bottle, which is decorated with Manolo’s shoe illustrations. The design is available in a limited edition bottle and only 10,000 pieces are being made. And since I don't drink coke... this would be a great reason to start.

You Don't Know Me!

Could it be that this Superheadz Blakbird Fly camera is the coolest gizmo a photographer could own?! The Blackbird, fly is a twin-lens reflex camera: one lens is used to expose the film, while the other is used like a viewfinder. It is a famous style of camera whose history stretches back to the 1920s. Unlike most twin-lens reflex cameras, which take larger 120-format film, the Blackbird, fly uses 35mm film - which you can process, scan and print at any one-hour photo store. Buy your Blackbird here
Once I become a certified photographer, this (without question) will be the first thing I experiment with.
