This is NOT a game...

Dita stays this fly, even on a trip to the bodega!...

Bent Over Backwards!

Headbangers come forth: Lanvin's newest ads display how we're often brought to our kneeeeees by Alber's designs. Bang on!

Z.O.E.

Who knew?! Who knew?! Zoe is just getting it these days.

Guns In The AIR!!

So picture it: six-something in the morning...sun beginning to creep into my apartment...I'm hung-over, but must get to my (fab) job. I stumble into my living room..."where is the light?" "oh no, it's too early for the light."...I turn on the TV instead...Rihanna's new video for "Hard" pours into my living room...I am jolted from my drunken/sleep-drived stupor!! and inspired beyond recourse. Semi-automatics...dookie shorts...pink tanks...grenades...bombs going off!! I smile wildly and stare blankly into my screen...she has set the tone for the rest of my day. Some may find the girl contrived, but I find her ravishing. Quite literally the girl has told us she's on the warpath and coming for blood. Viscous!!

"I just had an epiphany!...'I need to go to Tiffany!'"

So we all know how the Queen bee rappers of the mid-90's changed the proverbial rap and fashion game. Lil' Kim and her pasties, furs, and blatant designer-sponsorship. Foxxy Brown couldn't resist some Christian Lacroix or mink LV panties. Missy E. outfitted her Adidas track suits with baguettes of diamonds...I think you get my drift. Well, I believe that the rap ingenue, Nicki Minaj, has the chops to make it big. Not only does she have a certain way with the American language and a real love of leggings, she also has an inexplicable penchant for corsets...which we can fix. Either way, she took a rather sleek turn in this month's Complex and I had to concur: ol' girl is a 5* chick!

Inspiration board #23

I love the color palette here...khaki upon cream upon the pale, pale gray...and I think everyone knows my opinion about socks with heels: in total support of!

Ladies Who Lunch

Soooo, I kinda have to stay mum on the goings-on of my new(fab)job, but let's just say that I have reaped in quite the fun perks. Case in point? Invite to the Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall '10 collection this past week. Not my crowd, not my steez, necessarily...but who would resist the shared company of Anna, Kate (Lanphear), Joe Zee, OSCAR!, and his really cute son, Moises. Yeah...I think I have a style crush on the latter. But I digress! The collection, the collection: very Spanish inspired and definitely Oscar's attempt to be youthful, au courant, but still appeal to his staunchly loyal clientele of (fussy) UES ladies. Lots of texture, brocading, drama!, and vibrant color which any fashion company can appreciate at this moment. Oh! & the power pants: there were so many! The cuts, the colors...how could a girl choose just one?! Instead, I just chose to throw all of them into the mix! Enjoy!
