[Love Interest] Heal Me!



Never have I seen such intricate construction that channelled the odysseys of outer space so well, until I came across women's wear designers, Herve and Alice, the force behind Heal. I was surely blown away to see the blast from the future that was clearly conscious to woman's curves. There's so much more that I can say about their Fall/Winter 2009 collection, but I choose not to babble.

Beat It!



The beat box has always been a firm image for the 80's movement. Even though I was born in 1985, I read a great deal of books and articles about the "fight the power" era. Now it's time to be the power.

Little Secrets

I'm never surprised when it comes to Alessandro Dell'aqua and his footwear because I'm simply and fully aware of the mere talent that he's nurtured over the years. Although I do hate to make sexual references when it comes to fashion... it has an orgasmic effect on people like me. You know the good stuff is coming... and that it will be incredible when it does arrive....then when it does, your mind just has an overload of some sort. This is why designers like Dell'aqua will always be held in high regards and never loose there place. This nude colored pump with the oddly placed open toe is now a classic staple in my book.

[Love Update] Julian Louie





It's obvious that women's wear designer Julian Louie was moved my shapes and their power for his Spring/Summer 2009 collection. My initial though for this collection was to immediately say that it was art [not fashion] and nothing more. However, after really taking heed to the shapes he utilized and they way he used them, I then retracted my words and thought that Louise a genius in disguise. I really appreciate extra frills paired with the palette and [again] the shapes. Of course the "hidden" embellishments are a brilliant touch to what has already happening to the silhouettes. It gives a new flavor to confusion.

Minty Fresh



Once again, we're with a Rupert Sanderson classic. It may not be your ordinary open toe ankle boot. But it sure does speak volumes about the wearer.

Betsey Johnson: Quirky Marriage




Idea of marriage = no excitement for Jo Blow?. Sorry, just me. Yet, now that Betsey Johnson has a bridal collection I'll say "I DO" just to walk down the aisle in one of these gowns. Ms. Johnson is really rebelling against traditional views. I love how the groom can even get a peek of whats in store for him. Perfect for that naughty virgin *wink* Till death do us part!!!!

MOSCHINO: Fall/Winter 09' Safety is NOT First!




I am Loving Moschino's New innovation of the belt.
The other day I was askedmyself how can belts make a comeback and I came across this collection and died. How clever and fresh I'm making a phone call as we speak I need one of
these belts in my life. It is giving me: Im free! I take risks! and I refuse to buckle up! Hotness I tell you!

Back From 1901



I'm completely obsessed with Phoenix's new single 1901. I almost feel like I was born to live in their "era". Moving moments are the best to experience.

Highness....





I knew it wouldn't be too long until the MJ tees would flow into the masses. I'm excited to see that Neff brought it and they brought it hard. Over the week, I was privileged to take a peek of my esteemed colleague and friend, Beverly Allick's production of MJ tees that are set to be released later this Summer. Quite frankly, I can't wait to own and rock a few of them. You'll know where to find them first.

Give Me Head!








Over at Danielle Scutt's camp, the message was crystal clear that headgear was the outstanding trend for her Spring 2009 collection. Although the actual clothing had my interest in hand, I still couldn't help but see the headgear overpowering, yet completing the looks. Whether I can get down with the intricately tied head wraps is of no importance yet. Do I appreciate it? Of course I do. "Fashion is Drama".

On The Count of Three....



Even though I'm standing on the fence with Giuseppe Zanotti's leather boot with the metal fringe. There really is something about that is captivating. I don't know if it's because I can literally visualize the fringe in movement on the most stunning individual or just because any form of fringe this season has come across to be something out of the ordinary. Whatever it might be, I just  wanted to share!

House on the Rock



Even though we've been seeing Michael Jackson tributes everywhere. Runway Wonderland has yet to truly pay our respects. I found this exhilarating footage of MJ being as bad as he was on stage and being that I'm huge music head... I'm really into the vibe of his background vocalists. It reminds me of what Kanye's background crew. Dope

Luck Favors The Prepared



I will admit that I've become somewhat of a crazy fan for the bad boy image as of late. So of course I've been dissecting the looks and what exactly completes the stereotypical image and what bad-ass doesn't own a leather jacket and/or vest. This punk inspired cotton and leather jacket by MB999 is absolute for the "college drop-out" if he pairs with any of his Levi slim fits and Chuck Taylors. I will say that I'm working towards the likes of this look.

Take Me To Bed...



Alexander Wang has reached the lips of many  of  late, and with this leather Bianca Vest Bag, I can see the reason why. It channels the biker-esque image more than anything. But I can't help but see a little bit of hippie in there as well. At the end of the day.... I dig it.

I'm a Real Boyy!

When it comes to the realm of exclusivity, there's a level of high respect that I can alott certain designers or brands. As you know, once a designer's art is commercialized, there's just no turning back from that mindset. Which is why I can turn my eyes and attention towards New York based brand Boyy. The phenomenal pair, Wannasiri Kongman and Jessey Dorsey draw their inspiration while traveling the globe in search for aspects that complete one's modern lifestyle. Their black python flap slash bag finished with sweatshirt grey lambskin is clearly not to be overlooked as there are only 50 of them made to be distributed between August 25th 2009 and September 25th, 2009. Although this incredible accessory retails for $1,100 it's beyond evident that it's for that special person to accent their entire wardrobe for years to come. With that being said, I'm now a loyal follower of the brand.

Any Moment Now....





One  of our favorites, Ann Demeulemeester has made us proud once again with her men's accessories. Now.... all I have to do is wait for the package to arrive.

Climb Onto It!



Georgina Goodman strikes me as the type of brand that draws their inspiration from the grounds of rock stars and their entourage. But this time around, I'm unsure where it came from. However this mid ankle boot to something to be announced. The heel seems to be so unconventional yet working in every way possible. Since many footwear brands are riding on the innovative heel... who can go wrong at this point?
