NEW GENT LACQUERED WATCHES FROM SWATCH

Swatch is making a hard comeback and I ain’t even mad. These have been out for a couple weeks now but I still can’t sleep on them. With successful collaborations left and right coming from Swatch, I feel like they’ve really started to step their game up. The New Gent Lacquered collection is one of the newbies and it’s exciting to see the revival.

The series of ten candy colored watches would look dope alone or stacked and could easily fit the wrist of a dude or a chick. The face is my favorite part and this Spring I’m all about yellow. It’s a little bit of early 90′s – kind of reminds me of the clear phone with the colored wires.

FIELD TRIP: SLEDDING IN BOLZANO

Yesterday we went sledding down Rittner Horn mountain near Bolzano. I was scared out of my mind at first, especially on the gondola ride to the top but once we started it was cake. There’s less oxygen at this altitude but the air is so fresh, it’s unreal. Again, I could have done without the ratty children zooming by us at lightening speed… but whatever, I’m like so one-with-nature it’s not even funny.

Shopaholics Anonymous, So Not Budget

I FOUND LOVE IN ITALY…

…In a pair of retro black and crystal plastic Gucci shades. I made the mistake of trying them on which wasn’t smart and I’m pretty certain I can attribute my restlessness last night to these bad boys. The mixture of solid color with clear and gradient tinted lenses and gold accents… it’s just the right amount of fresh to set a brotha off. I’m getting hot just thinking about it again.

Check the rest of the colorways at Gucci.com.

COMPLEX FEBRUARY/MARCH 2012 – JEREMY SCOTT/A$AP ROCKY & LANA DEL REY

Last week we looked at the Warhol/Basquiat-esqe Jeremy Scott/A$AP Rocky cover but THEN… the second cover got released and it’s my wife Lana Del Rockmore Rey. This issue of Complex might send me into a fashion/music induced coma.

Also, peep this video edit/interview from the cover shoot. Kinda makes me love each of them each a little more:

“Everybody could be like – Yo… you look fuckin’ retarded.” – Story of my life.

BREAKFAST IN BOLZANO

We woke up this morning to breakfast in bed and a serious view of Bolzano. Kathy told us the name of the mountains but Kelly and I are just going to call it Schlong Mountain. Breakfast was the Pope’s favorite yogurt with granola and sliced banana. So good.

SOUNDTRACK: LANA DEL RAY ‘BORN TO DIE’

Like… one of the best albums I’ve ever heard. I’m not kidding. ‘Born to Die’ is such the perfect soundtrack for a trip to Italy. It’s a bit of well versed mysterious sunshine for your ears and I want more more more.

I’m totally not here for stealing music BUT… there are exceptions to every rule and if you already pre-order something on iTunes and it HAPPENS TO LEAK, that’s not your fault. You’re allowed to listen to it so long as you promise to still buy it. That is the case with the queen, Lana Del Rey. Her album deserves a spot in the top ten and I plan on doing my part to make that happen.

FIELD TRIP: GREETINGS FROM FLORENCE!

I think my favorite thing about Florence is The Duomo. We climbed 463 steps to the top and after a group asthma attack, I snapped a few photos that almost look fake. The views were amazing and the air was so clean. However, it would have been better if people didn’t ruin it by bringing their loud obnoxious children who can’t climb stairs fast enough. Anywho!

This morning was tough because last night we got a little too festive and everybody knows a wine hangover is a killer. So we’re just taking it slow and wandering around enjoying all the food we can find.

FIELD TRIP: GREETINGS FROM VENICE!

Today we arrived in Venice – it’s BEAUTIFUL and I can’t believe how blue the water is… like it’s not a joke. It’s so turquoise it looks totally fake. We got an amazing view on our way to the hotel of the surrounding islands from our private water taxi from the airport. A boy could get used to this. However, we haven’t slept in well over 24 hours so I’m REALLY looking forward to getting some rest tonight.

The wine’s flowing and dinner is calling!

HIT THE ROAD IN A CUSTOM DRIVER SEAT BRACELET’S FROM D.FAME

Last week I showed you the Custom Jean Jacket from D.Fame Store and this week it’s all about the Custom Driver Seat bracelet. If you’re looking for something different other than a chainlink or beaded bracelet, the wait is over.

Darion Famous hooks you up with these one-of-a-kind Driver Seat bracelets and I can guarantee you none of your friends have anything like this. My dude hooked these adjustable leather snap bracelets up with a series of five old school matchbox cars in various colorways to get your engine going and I can’t wait to get my hands on one.

Check the D.Fame store for other colors and styles – I kind of can’t sleep on the hot pink ones either.

A$AP ROCKY & JEREMY SCOTT KNOCK ‘EM OUT THE BOX ON THE COVER OF THIS MONTH’S COMPLEX MAGAZINE.

$TEEZ when you look at this spread. A$AP Rocky & Jeremy Scott grace the cover of this month’s Complex magazine. Rocky is sporting some looks from the SS 2012 adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott collection, including the music note track suit, the graphic print oversized retrospective sneaker t, and the all white oversized logo shoe while Jeremy rocks the American Flag Wings 2.0′s and the American Flag bondage jacket (favs). Check the rest of the images and full cover story here.

Kind of major to have your first magazine cover be Complex let alone to share it with the incomparable Jeremy Scott. Props to both these dudes.

ALSO- Peep Rocky’s new video for “Wassup” that just dropped today. And not that I’m bragging or anything but that BLVCK SCVLE pyramid ring that he’s rocking in the opening shots… he gave that to me and I wear it with pride.

Issue hits newsstands February 7th. Shoutout to SeanBot @ Complex for the heads up.
