Love's This

iThink she looks really niceeee...love her style, but really for tall people no? the scarf will drown me for sure.

Chanel Perspex Briefcase

When I saw this my jaw dropped literally, Karl Lagerfeld continues to amaze me. Now whether he is a genius on this or he has been smoking some jetson type weed I don't know, what I do know is I would love to see someone in real life actually rock this instead of this being just another prop for the catwalk.

Nike - Air Jordan 1 Phat Low - Tuxedo Prom Pack

To create these shoes Nike drew inspiration from Tuxedo's and Prom...how interesting. They are releasing a white and black seameless shiny leather AJI Phat Low on Sat 16th April.

Nike going Retro

Nike is releasing a special Air Jordan 1 Retro - Do The Right Thing Collection (in red and green) to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Director Spike Lee's tale of racial and generational tension on the streets on Brooklyn - Do The Right Thing

Look See >> Ksubi S/S 09

LOL so I was looking through all the usual stuff that I do and I came across this and I thought I'd share it.




Who rocked it better?? iThink Pharrel did

More from the collection:

21 Maroons

I'm genrally in support of anything that celebrates culture, togetherness and autonomy. iLove it when I see people incorporating meaningful history into modern day life and something has just caught my eye - 21 Maroons.
When I first of all saw this I thought to myself what kind of bullsh*t is the lol, but then I realised what the message was about >> honouring our ancestors and the creative legacy that makes black history relevant and important in the 21st century.

21 Maroons (21 MC) was founded by Emeka Alams and Yego Moravia in their quest for individuality and heritage. Their insipiration is both diverse and interesting and really centres around black history>> West African designs and textiles, the West Indies, Abuja, Lagos, 2Face, Nigerian movies, skateboarding, Afro-punk culture etc....











What's your take on it?

Timeless Pieces - Essentials

When building a wadrobe, I like to think the shoes are one of the most important features. And also when starting a shoe wadrobe it is ESSENTIAL to invest in a good pair of black pumps, because quite frankly they are the starting place of any shoe collection.

iLove Loubou's so I chose this as the must have black pump/timeless piece (as you can never go wrong with them)

They generally retail for about £600 but if you find a good site you could get it for less.

This Season's Trend

I am super excited about S/S 09, iThink it is super cool the way we have all these different trends being mashed into one. Its all about transperancy, softness and fluitdity. iLOve the fact that little bits and bops from some of my favourite eras are coming back...the 80's particularly bringing back the jeans and the rainbow colours, I also love the fact that there are still timeless pieces i.e. black and the fabrics have more textures too which will make it even much more fun to wear.
Although iThink the 60's was a dull era of nothing particularly significant apart from the young wanting to take the lead... i will welcome the dresses they are bringing back, i do love the A-line shift dresses and I absolutely love the pegged trousers.


This season's must haves:
Distressed Denim - these are soo 80's and early 90's and iLove their come back. This season they are coming back bleached, ripped, spliced and frayed. iLOve the acid wash and the snowwash, the pale denim, dark denim, baggies, skinnies et al love love them

Safari - whenever iThink of this, I just think the 60's which is not my favourite era iThink its actualy quite dull, but this season its all about smart, elegant, colonial style clothing - sort of the Benjamin Bixby S/S 09 Line - its all about the au naturel look...the whole natural make up, beaded heels, short jackets and wide legged trousers. Not a big fan but...

Transparance - the sheer cover up, designers have a thing for see-through clothes and so do I, I first spotted them on the Luella S/S 09 show which iLove, I'm a big fan of them because they give this comfortable and soft feel. The softer pallete of - apricot, peach, sand, putty and cream create that sophisticated look we all want.

Pop Candy - iLove bright colours and I'm well happy that this summer is all about clothes that are yumly bright and colourful. I am so in love with couleurs acidulees..and iThink neon pink is the best.

Futurists- this makes me think of speed and technology no clue why but it just does, anyways its all about the caged sandals, platform heels and big belts for this look.

Tribals - this reminds me so much the DVF line this year, she had so much tribal prints and fanciful headgear...prints from ankara, ikata, leopard spots and chunky beaded accessories are the key to this look. Wear losts of green and mustard as they are the colour pallete to complete this look.

However, I dont like some of the new looks...starting from the one shoulder dress...ark! but there are some exceptions, I dont like the return of the denim jackets (i wish it would just stay in the 90's) so please try to stay away from them people.

Beyonce

Beyonce has just graced the cover of most coveted magazine - Vogue, and this issue just happens to the publication's shape issue.

Word on the street is that the next two videos to be dropped are 'Ego' and 'Broken-Hearted Girl'...I'm just as excited as you are
