Proenza Schouler

I’m not sure what’s up with the “pre-fall release” mumbo jumbo, but I absolutely love this new dress coming from Proenza Schouler some time soon.  It’s the perfect combination of secretary-ness and hotness.  I found it on the Fashion Gone Rogue site, go see the rest of the collection here.

The “Ivory Queen Of Soul”

It’s already been heard by many of you that R&B Legend, Teena Marie, known for her hits “Lovergirl” and “Square Biz” has passed away.

She died in her home in California over Christmas weekend.  She was only 54-years-old.

Says she had a seizure last month but was reportedly doing much better but found sunday morning by her daughter Alia Rose.

It’s so sad… she was just preparing for her show in ATL.

R.I.P Teena Marie!

How Was Your Holiday?

Christmas was good.  It was a little aggravating as holidays usually go when you are used to living on your own.  Going home is always a little frustrating.  But my holiday was good.

We all saw my “fantasy” wishlist.

I won’t list out everything I received, but I will say that it was quite fantastic!  I have quite the nerd setup!!

I can hardly believe it myself.  Lets just say I had a very Apple Christmas!  LOL.

How was your holiday?

Halloween & Oni-con

Well I have to let you all know that Halloween weekend was a blast.  My boyfriend Sam and I drove from Missouri to Houston, Texas so that he could DJ at an anime convention which is held there every fall.  That convention was called Oni-con, in case you haven’t figured that out yet… Here are some pictures of Samuel Benjamin cuttin it up for the anime raver kids:

We were fortunate to have 2 wonderful hosts who took us to an awesome Mexican restaurant called Cha-cho’s (I think I’m spelling it right..) which was heavenly.  The portions were generous, the flavors were perfect, and it was super cheap (except for the drinks, which were normal priced).  I have never had a more delicious cheese quesadilla with avocado in my entire life.  And just so you know, I had eaten 3 (count em, 3!) of those avocado quesadillas before we left, and we were only there for 4 days…  Oh and we also got fish tacos which were super tasty as well.  Just try not to drool on your keyboard too much when you look at these pictures 

Oh yeah, and I dressed up as Daria for Halloween.  Well, for part of the weekend I was Daria.  Most of the time I was a fox, rockin the Spirit Hood.  You’ll notice that Sam was wearing his bear hood as well.  Grrrrrrr

We are living in the age of the iPod

 
Being the 80′s kid that I am, I had a hot pink sony walkman, and on it, I listened to the tunes of Michael Jackson, Perfect Gentleman, and Black Girl!  (50 points goes out to those who know the groups Perfect Gentlemen and Black Girl)

8 Tracks are to me, what cassettes are to kids today. Today is all about the iPod!  There is no longer a need for cassettes and cd’s.

Because of that, Sony has officially discontinued the manufacturing of the Sony Walkman. So if you own one, you are the proud owner of an antique.

McQueen by Burton

The Spring 2011 Ready to Wear line for fashion house Alexander McQueen is a fantastic tribute to the art of fashion design, in my opinion.  The pieces are stunning in their attention to detail and outright beauty.  The entire line is like a walking/wearable fairy tale.  Burton does an excellent job of continuting the good name of Mr. McQueen, may he rest in peace.

And now, the clothes:

See what I mean?  And just look at those shoes!  Amazing!  Here is a closer look for ya:

All photos (except the last one) were taken from Style.com, and you can find the link to the Style.com review of the McQueen line  here.  The last photo was found on this blog which is the property of Ms. Spiridakis.  Check it out, she’s pretty awesome.

Willow Smith!

 

 

I wish that at 25, I was half as cool as the 9-year-old Willow Smith.

If you aren’t familiar with this little trendsetter, she is the offspring of power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith.

I guess it’s fair that with parents like those, you’ll be a gifted, but I would totally shop in this little girls closet.  LOL.  If I had been bolder during my transition to natural hair, I may have even tried some bold and brave hair cuts.

She has a new song coming out called “Whip My Hair”  It’s hella catchy!  I have been waiting on the music video and It finally premiered!  For some reason I can’t get it to post on the blog so, click the link to WATCH THE VIDEO here!

I can’t wait till her album comes out!  hehe.. this one goes pretty hard!

Tell me what you think!

‘speak without words’

I have just discovered Canadian designer ErinAlexandraKlym (via HauteMacabre.com) and ohhhhhhhh man am I impressed!  Her pieces are beautiful and innovative and perfect for the coming fall season.  The Cat’s Cradle Dress is my favorite, I think.  But it is so hard to decide!  Which one is your favorite?

Here is the link to her Etsy page ::link::    Enjoy!
