BALMAIN- Resort 2012


Left in the dark, a spotlight away from Balmain's impeccable spring/summer collection, lies Resort 2012.
I know we're late, but this collection didn't get the appreciation it deserved. Each piece is structured beautifully with crazy prints that left us speechless. The line is known to be extremely pricey, but it is well worth every penny considering the perfection found in the clothing. Olivier Rousteing, Balmain's head designer, most definitely succeeded in making each article of clothing his own masterpiece.





WANTED




Marc by Marc Jacobs recently released a WANTED T-shirt, containing information on the infamous heist of the Spring/Summer '12 collection, that took place on November 16, 2011. I stumbled across it while looking through the website and couldn't stop laughing, it arrived today and I couldn't be more excited to wear a T-shirt.

ISABEL MARANT SNEAKERS


 You've seen them everywhere, you either love them or you hate them. Regardless, they are the most sought out sneakers of the year. Isabel Marant released these beauties last Fall and rest assure they were sold out within days. But do not fret my friends, they are making their comeback in her upcoming F/W 2012 collection. If you missed out on last seasons batch, chances being that you did; you have more than enough time to start saving up and strategizing on how you're actually going to obtain them. These sneakers don't come easy, so we will forewarn you of the buying frenzy and ridiculous re-sale prices that will ensue after their release.

 Love the Marant's but don't want to wait? No problem. 
Recently, we've been coming across look-a-likes EVERYWHERE. While some may think that no other shoe will compare, we're going to have to disagree. The sneakers listed below are the closest you can get to Marant's original design.

EAGLE WINGS



Lanvin decided to bring something new to the table with their recently released Eagle Wing accessory collection. The unique pieces include a matching necklace, cuff and ring. Each piece is made out of brass and includes wings embellished with swarovski crystals.




VICTORIA BECKHAM



Growing up we knew her as "Posh Spice", the fashionable prissy spice girl that everyone wanted to be. Today she is Victoria Beckham, an internationally known style icon and fashion designer. In the past year she not only released a sick spring/summer collection but was also working with Range Rover as it's creative director for the Evoque. In return came the Victoria Beckham special edition Evoque, customized matte grey with black finishes and rose gold trim.

MEN'S SHOPPING GUIDE

A NEW GENERATION IN THE WORKPLACE

A few days ago, I received a text message from one of my good friends mother, asking if I would be interested in being interviewed for The Miami Herald in a article dealing with working teens. I was elated with the offer since I have been working with Alexis for two years, I was able to give my perspective of what work is like for me. Reporter Cindy Goodman contacted me shortly after and made me feel at ease while being interviewed, the article came out in today's paper (April 25, 2012) in the business section.

ECCENTRIC SHADES

RETROSUPERFUTURE: Ndebele Special
These limited edition Super's went on sale just yesterday and they might be the dopest glasses we've ever laid eyes on.
The design is derived from Ndebele mural's, painted on houses by women of the tribe. The design is on metallized acetate and includes an inscription of the date they were released on the side (17. 4. 2012).

Ksubi: Bellatrix
Karen Walker: Harvest
Maison Martin Margiela: Wrong Size (Turtle)
House of Harlow 1960: Robyn
RETROSUPERFUTURE: Léon
Ending this post just how it began, with a sick pair of Super's.
Recently released, these glasses take the classic aviator style and give it the perfect modern update by removing the nose bridge while still maintaining a sturdy metal frame.
