For those of you looking or just wanting to gawk at the Adidas Originals by Originals JS Wing shoe by Jeremy Scott...here it is. There's a bunch of pairs on eBay selling for about $330 a pair. And that's not including shipping by the way. It's good to dream, isn't it?
'After Midnight' is a collection of portraits by visual artist Steven Lopez which profiles prominent singers such as, India Arie, Sade, Jill Scott, and Tina Turner just to name a few Recently my epic girl crush Erykah Badu signed 100 copies of the portrait Mr. Lopez did of her which will be available for sale midnight April 15th exclusively on AfterMidnightSoul.com.
Rachel you're on to big and bright things! I can feel it!!!
Vintage Royalty a unique jewelry company which specializes in earrings, broaches, and necklaces, was created in 2008 by a college classmate of mine Meena Osei-Kuffour. All the earrings in the line are made from paper and fabric with prices running from about $10 - $15. Great for the fashionista on a budget!
Check out Meena's creations on Etsy HERE.
The Louis Vuitton 'Spicy' sandal is being named as the 'it' shoe of the 2009 Spring/Summer season. And I couldn't agree more. From fashionista's in Paris and New York to Kanye West's jumpoff, I mean girlfriend, Amber Rose...I've been seeing these shoes everywhere.
Does anyone else love these as much as I do? I'm just waiting for a Steve Madden knock off in 5..4..3..2..YOU KNOW THEIR GONNA MAKE ONE! 
Yes, that is indeed Dora. As in 'Dora the Explorer'. Girl, you got grown on the kid, YEESH! As odd as it may seem, seeing this picture of Dora reminds me of my 13 year old sister Darrah. She HATED this show when she was younger because kids at school would tell her she looked like the cartoon simply because she's half Hispanic. Baby girl didn't like that!
Yea, I know what you're thinking. 'But D, that's just a jacket, whats the big deal?!' Welp the big deal is that while ALL of the other windbreakers featured on Nike's website range in prices from $80 - $110 this little shit of a jacket is a whooping $395. No that is not a typo...the shit is almost $400. What fuckery is this?!
Am I just trippin? Would any of you pay this much for a jacket?
Can someone answer this question for me? WHEN THE HELL DID SHOULDER PADS MAKE A COMEBACK?! In my daily explorations of all things fashion, I must have missed the memo that said 'Hey You...Shoulder Pads are back!'. I know Rihanna is one fashion forward maven and all, but dang, shoulder pads? Forreal?
I use to be obsessed with this book when I was younger. I still have the book my dad bought damn near 15 years ago tucked away is some obscure box in my basement. Last summer Urban Outfitters was selling a graphic tee with the cover of the book on it, and I was so excited about it, I bought 2! Now their making a movie about the beloved book, and although I'll be the first in line to see it like a 5 year old groupie, I'm not too excited about it. Hollyhood has a way of making classic books really crappy movies. Harry Potter anyone?!
Remember Space Jam? That 90's movie with Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny? Total AWESOMENESS! Found this on InYourClosetNYC...
Rihanna got a new tattoo ya'll!
EPIC FAIL.
I'm applying right now to be a Vibe Magazine intern and it got me thinking.
Back in December I read on a couple blogs that Rayban was slated to drop a pair of Do It Yourself Wayfarers. I'm not a huge do it yourself kind of girl, but I appreciate a good arts and crafts project every now and then. The glasses are white and come equipped with a few markers so you can get your Picasso on. Not sure if I like the idea of paying 100+ dollars for glasses that I have to take home and do additional work on. I mean, what if you mess up?
I love CLAW Money. I don't love how expensive their stuff can be, but for some reason my collection of their goods keeps growing. Anyway, just saw this tweet that Claw Money is being represented on one of my favorite shows Ugly Betty. It just so happens that I also own the Peacock Crew that Justin has on...HA!
Sneaker boutique Atmos and Reebok teamed up to create these exclusive Sir Jams. It's got 4 different colorways as shown in the picture above. I like them because of the contrast of the pastel and vibrant colors each shoe holds. Is it just me or do a lot of kicks this season have pastel colors? Everyone's damn foot is gonna look like an Easter egg this spring/summer. Yeesh
Converse can do no wrong in my book. I've been a Chuck Taylor fan for most of my life, and will continue to rock these until I die. Ask my friend Katya...she knows. Chucks with jeans, Chucks with a dress...doesn't matter.
Got my nails done yesterday. Finally!
Jeremy Scott and Adidas have dropped some preview pictures of J. Scott's Fall 09' collection for the sneaker brand. I must say, this stuff reminds me of the late 80's early 90's something fierce. But I love it none the less.
From the looks of it the line is only going to be available at selected retailers across the globe. Just another reason for me to dip out of the states and never come back. Sigh...
Fergie was at a Nordstrom department store this weekend promoting her new shoe collection (insert blank stare). Not sure what type of Fergalicious creations the line holds, but something in my soul tells me I'll be less than impressed. What I am impressed with is her hair color. It looks really nice on her. Good Job!
(Disclaimer: EPIC ew @ me in the picture. FAIL)
My new post on M.I.S.S. Crew went up this morning. It's about Mark Rudd and his work with the Students for a Democratic Society and the Weathermen group. If you don't know who he is, check out my post HERE.
I've also been hard at work on my new blog over at JENESIS Magazine. Been posting ish like a mad woman! Check out my blog and the magazine itself HERE.
Stussy unveiled a new collection of tee's entitled 'Great Minds'. The collection pays homage to some of the influential minds in fields such as politics, psychology, economics, and philosophy. Each tee recreates a portrait of the intellectual and adds a bits of commentary about their life's work. If you like what you see, Stussy will be releasing the shirts March 21, 2009 at Stussy Chapter stores.

This is what dreams are made of. Well at least my dreams...
Does that purple Lanvin dress (pictured above) make your heart flutter or is that just me? Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Does this gross anyone else out, or is it just me?
Actress Natasha Richardson died today in New York after she had been critically injured while skiing in Canada. Apparently after a tumble down a snow covered hill while taking ski lessons, the 45 year old actress was conscious and coherent, but was then taken to the hospital after complaining of a massive headache.
Yes your eyes are not deceiving you. These are Baby Bangs, the patent pending creation of one of God's creatures. Who ever that creature is, they need to sit the hell down ASAP.
I love how women's streetwear isn't just defined as a bunch of rude tee's and ill kicks anymore. It can also be classified as fashion forward cut and sewn pieces like the ones produced by JF & Son creators Katie King and Jeese Finklestein. Check out my favorite pieces from their Fall/Winter 2009 collection below. The collection in my opinion is oozing with a lady like sophistication that screams edgyness!
Check out JF & Son HERE
Kim K and her homegirl Reggie Bush (yea I said homegirl...and what?!) recently did a photo shoot together for GQ magazine. I must admit they are cute together. But I stand by my theory that she sucked the swag outta his ass...
This bitch got mad lucky...
I've been hard at work writing for my new job as a JENESIS Magazine blogger. Some of my new posts have been approved and placed on my blog. Do yourself a favor and check ya girl out!
Leah McSweeney and her band of Most Official Bitches never cease to amaze and inspire me. Here's a few pics I found at Highsnobette of the brands second spring offering.
