Weekend at the Beach

[buy now]

Coffee Table Material?

Lady Gaga is indeed one of the many fashion icons for the 21 century even if she is centuries ahead according to some critics. And there's nothing better than when those icons treat their fans with a book full of their fashion. Releasing on September 14th, Lady Gaga's look book LADY GAGA: Critical Mass Fashion will be a best seller and although I may not agree with some of her outrageousness of a wardrobe I will purchase because I'm sure it will be very inspiring::.

Big Bang Theory

Just like the explanation of how the world came to be, Marc Jacobs give us an explanation for man. Bang, Marc Jacobs latest fragrance for men, is scheduled to hit stores in late July. I myself can not wait because by the looks of this ultra-sexy ad campaign this fragrance will indeed be a banga. And that bottle #collectorsworthy, he always knows how to sell a good package [no pun intented]::.

Paid Vacation

Vogue

Photographer: Mikael Jansson

Mannequins: Matthew Morrison & Raquel Zimmermann

Spring is here and summer is right around the corner, so ladies please step your swim wear up. This seasons swim wear gives us vintage, but still along the lines of sexy. Two pieces with a high waist hot pant and a top piece with lots of cleavage is all you need. One pieces with a deep cleavage are making waves this year too. What ever you decide to wear to the beach or that pool party just promise me your not looking like your an extra in the Thong Song video [thats played and dated #hotmess] lol::.

Fashion Flashback: All Black Everything

Rhythm NationJanet Jackson
Way before Jay-Z decided to pioneer the look Janet was already on it.All black everything with a splash of militant was the outfit of choice for her 1989 Rhythm Nation video that caused a lot a fashionatics to follow suit. I love.love.love the look. Matter of fact the military look is in this spring but mostly in those khaki and green colors, but any if your a true fashionatic any goes::.

Tide Rider

Blake Lively graces the cover once again for Vogue's June 2010 issue. Her surfs up inspired spread show gives us that sporty side that we rarely see from this gossip girl. But it still falls between the line of that chic image she has built for herself::.

Don't Call It A Come Back

Back from a well needed hiatus. This past semester...well this past academic year was a complete mess, but luckily all my praying and studying paid off because I made it. So for all you fashion addicts getting a degree in Fashion Merchandising is not skittles and rainbows and is most definitely not as easy as those reality show depict [don't be a fool] . It takes a lot of effort and true passion.

Channeling The Gods

Vivienne Westwood channels ancient greek gods like Gaia [earth] and Chaos [desire] by having their names on a few t-shirts and socks. Vivienne who happens to be another one of my favorite designers always puts the "show" in fashion show with very theatrical styling in all categories [clothing, hair, and makeup]. The "dead" look gives me all the drama. Her Red Label collection consists of lots of colorful plaids and sequins along with lots of trenches and capes. Love.Love.Love::.
