HIGH SCHOOL THROWBACK: YOU WANNA BUMBLE WIT THE BEE, HUH?

I broke out the high school Lil’ Kim logo jacket yesterday and I swear when I put it on it gives me all types of life. I’m not one to keep anything for long periods of time but for some reason this joint made the cut. I had it custom made almost 13 years ago to match the Queen Bee decal I had on the back window of my car (#hoodrich). Hopefully me bringing it back sends Kimmy some positive vibes and she gets her ass back in the studio… for real for real this time. No more of that honey girl shit.

NEW COLLECTION FROM MELODY EHSANI: SPRING 2012 – PART 2

In case Spring 2012 Part 1 wasn’t enough to put a jones in your bones right through until next Winter, April 15th Melody Ehsani will release the second part of her Spring Collection and these pieces are on another level. For me it’s all about the huge neon lion chain – anyone that knows me knows I’m all about a lion and I love that it’s on a contrast black chain. I think the pineapple necklace and earring set are the perfect way to add some Summer lovin’ to your accessories drawer. The gold chain link bracelet is a must, and the fist full of LOVE rings just make it better and better. Check out some of my favorite images from the lookbook below:

What will YOU be buying on the 15th?

WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK X LINDA FARROW PROJECTS

 

I copped these little ditties from famed eyewear designer Linda Farrow while I was in LA over the weekend… and I can’t get enough. They’re Walter Van Beirendonck X Linda Farrow Projects and they’re from her Summer 2010c collection, however I’m resurrecting them for MY Summer 2012 wardrobe. With the interchangeable lenses, the possibilities are endless and sure to take your summer look to the next level. My favorite has to be the permanent angry eye… or is it the spikes? I can’t really decide actually. Anyway…

Check out Miss Farrow’s collaborations with my boy Jeremy Scott here and secure your credit card in a block of ice in the freezer before checking out the rest of her collection here.

MEET & GREET WITH JEREMY SCOTT AT ADIDAS ORIGINALS, SOHO

Last Saturday was the Jeremy Scott meet and greet at the adidas Originals store in Soho. I had to opportunity to go support Jeremy and rock pieces of the new Spring collection. I was totally nervous at first about standing around all day in some spandex shorts with my junk hanging out but once I put them on I realized it wasn’t that bad and I was obsessed with my outfit. #thepowerofjeremyscott

The event was DJ’d by Sky Ferreira who was absolutely adorable and kept the party moving. The other models for the day were Michelle Salem, Matt Mazur, and Frankie Sharp who are some of the chillest people I’ve ever met.

It was amazing and inspiring to see the diversity of the crowd. There were people there from every walk of life, including a few parents waiting on line with their children who couldn’t have been more than 10. It was cool to see how Jeremy and his designs cross all types of social borders and everyone was there for the love of it all. The event lasted a little over two hours and because I wasn’t on the side of the line waiting to get in, I got to see a different side of Jeremy. He really is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. He noticeably spent time with each of his fans and really paid attention to what they had to say to him. As a fan myself, seeing that – I have so much more respect for him as a person and as a designer because that was a LONG day and he was always on.

The day was amazing, and we got to keep our outfits. The American Flag and the American Flag Wings 2.0 shoes were definitely my top two favorite pieces in the collection, so your boy lucked out.

Check back at shop.adidas.com to see what’s left of the collection.

ANDRÉ 3000 DISCUSSES STYLE FOR GILLETTE

When I saw he was the star of the first iteration of the “Masters of Style” videos by Gillette, I feared he’d sold out. Alas, I was proven wrong as he stayed true to his fresh-to-def self and remains inspirational regardless of who’s paying for the video. Here is style icon and member of OutKast André 3000 discussing what style means to him and I couldn’t agree more, right down to the facial hair being a part of his everyday and working with what you’re given. This one and a half minute video is the perfect departure from the monotony that is #NYFW.

Now get back into the studio and get us that new OUTKAST ALBUM, MY DUDE!!

What does style mean to YOU?
