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.

KICKS OF THE DAY: LEOPARD PONY HAIR ROYAL COLLECTION FROM SUPRA

Welp my New Jeers is off to a poor start… but COME ONNNN… a guy can only resist leopard pony hair low-tops for so long!

It was a tough decision between the half leopard, half black Cuttler high-top or the all leopard Assault low-top. I like the asymmetry of the half and half Wrap low-top but I just can’t get down with the Wrap model. After much debate, I went with the all leopard low because I like my high-tops to the sky and I’m a sucker for a leopard color block… and BeyoncĂ©.

Check out the rest of the options after the jump. Continue reading

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN LEOPARD PONY HAIR RANTUS ORLATO SNEAKER

If your savings account had any chance at remaining intact this holiday season, after this you’re fucked. The Christian Louboutin Rantus Orlato sneaker in leopard pony hair is like… ONE OF THOSE SHOES YOU CAN’T GO ANOTHER MINUTE WITHOUT and I know I say this about everything leopard print but, you really could wear these with everything…

…and with the $1295 price tag, I would suggest wearing them everyday… with everything… forever. The not-so-subtle hightop is made with a classic leopard print on pony hair laced with brown fat-laces and the red sole that just screams:

GIVENCHY S/S2012 COLLECTION FOR PRE-ORDER!

Though it won’t be on your body until at least March, LuisAviaroma.com has posted much of the men’s Givenchy S/S2012 collection on their website for pre-order. If anything it’s an easy way to get a better look at the pieces from the runway show. Unlike a lot of other design houses, Givenchy is surfacing a pretty heavy collection of graphic t’s following the success of last season’s Rottweiler t.

I’m absolutely obsessed with the Birds of Paradise print in every iteration – from the blazer, to the t-shirt (dying for the stars on the shoulders), to the leggins and the shorts.

The all-over print is quickly becoming the new monochrome and I ain’t even mad. Check please!

Lock your wallet and check out the rest of the collection here. Which ones are your fav?

THE WAIT IS OVA! MY CAMBRIDGE BATCHEL ARRIVED!

The first time I laid eyes on a Cambridge bag was when I met the adorbz Ashley Too Fly at the Melody Ehsani studio in L.A. and now… many glittery moons later, the Rockmore version Batchel has arrived.

I got the notification while I was at work that I had a delivery and my instant reaction can best be expressed by Kim G.

Only problem: I justified it to myself because I thought by getting the 15″ I’d be able to fit my computer in it… not so much… BUT AT LEAST IS SAYS ROCKMORE IN GOLD, RIGHT?!?!

If you’re thinking about ordering one, I suggest doing it sooner rather than later as these bad boys take about a month (or a month and a half in my case) to make it to your shoulder. Check out the rest here!

This headboard kiiiiiind of makes me want to redo everything in my apartment/office/life. ZGallerie is no joke with their daily email blasts and rightfully so… as every time I get one I end up buying something… and I’m debating whether or not I NEED this headboard. The black and white zig-zag pattern would look jussssst perfect against my Tiffany Blue bedroom wall.
