Watch“I’m gonna be a star…. because… I have nothing left to lose”
Marry the Night above in all it’s mini-movie glory. The song itself actually begins at 8:46 but there’s a cool interlude beginning around the 7:55 mark and that teaser she showed us starts at 9:54…
Her bedazzler leaves us with a fiery ending, and from watching this she needs to direct...

WatchI feel like Rihanna put her diary into this video portraying and depicting past events in her life, most notably the saga that went on between her and Chris Brown. I’m just wondering though how much of the video is based on her/Brown’s relationship. My main concern is the rampant drug use in the video. I mean imagine if she really did all of that… Just imagine how much other...

WatchWow.
I mean after watching this it’s truly remarkable just how delicate the skins are that luxury houses use. Not to mention the fact that the skill and craftsmanship with which they’re made with has no competition. After watching this you really understand why Dior is one of the most luxurious and successful companies in fashion today.
What I love is the artisans close attention to...

City of Angels & Thieves
When you travel to LA you should be greeted by something to the likes of, “Welcome to the city of Angels & of thieves.”
In the past 12 months I’ve gone down to LA six or seven times. Each trip has been unique and offered something new. I met a myspace friend for the first time (we’ve been digital friends for 6 years) lost or gave-away my Iphone 4 (never mix alcohol), seen and met more Asians...

Memories
Last weekend I took a trip with my parents to this little wine town, Walla Walla. Now with my recent arrival at 21 my parents, whose friends own the wineries there, wanted to take me out and show me this world that they love. At each tasting I could only really muster a measly little single taste. Wine just isn’t my thing. Shots, the quick, burning pain, those are what I like. All that aside,...

Guilty
Off with his head!
Wait it’s already been taken.
No surprise really that John Galliano was found guilty. My question is this, now that the trial is over and he has essentially everything behind him, what does his future hold? Will another house take him in? Will LVMH possibly let him return? And the billion dollar question is who will take the reigns for Dior?
Oh Galliano how I wish you...

Richard Chai
The Richard Chai show just finished (I am retyping this as Chrome unexpectedly quit, ugh) and I have to say that from all of his collections I’ve seen this has been without a doubt my absolute favorite. His use of colors, especially that bright yet dimmed green was genius.
The opening looks (men’s women’s) for Richard Chai, notice the use of color.
One of the looks, where a...

5 Show Invites
If you could have any five show invites where would they be? New York strictly based. That way you don’t have to decide between NY/Paris/London/Milan… For me my top 5 NYFW show invites would be:
1. Alexander Wang —> As hinted in earlier posts he is my future husband. Whether or not he knows this I’m not sure but ever since he debuted I have been in love with his...

Heroin Chic
In the world we live in Heroin Chic kind of now has a different connotation than in prior years. So many designers in the past few years have had noticeable substance abuse problems. I.E: Marc Jacobs, John Galliano, etc… So when The Cut via New York Magazine interviewed Alber Elbaz (the current designer at Lanvin) it was really enlightening to hear an honest, “I stay away from drugs...

Interview Intelligence
Fashion oriented magazines seem to – for me at least – be largely focused on the advertisements. The campaigns if you will of design houses. I know from my own buying habits that yes I want more than just advertisements but a large reason behind why I buy a magazine is the simple fact that the advertisements are generally pretty phenomenal. Now, every once in a while the magazine will actually...

BIG Issue?
Honestly I still cannot figure it out. If a MAJOR fashion brand, and by major I mean incredibly powerful/huge/iconic (Louis Vuitton in otherwords) doesn’t advertise in a September Issue of one of fashions most legendary magazines, is it a big deal?
Yes I’m still pondering over the absence of Louis Vuitton ads (despite other LVMH owned entreprises being advertised in the magazine) in...

A World of LOVE
A lot of magazines now have gone over to the digital format and many more are still crossing over into the digital format. Yet as more and more come over differentiating themselves amongst the competition - I would think at least - would be more of an obstacle than in print media.
Recently, thanks to Andrew Mukamal, I discovered the incredible LOVE Magazine. I’ve seen it prior, either in New York...

Lady Jo
Jo Calderone aka Lady Gaga
So Lady Gaga unveiled her alter ego last night at the VMA’s. Jo Calderone. Sure we first saw him (or is he still considered a her?) in the You & I video but last night he spoke.
I appreciate the artistic endeavor of Gaga. Everything she does she kills it. However for me, this whole Jo Calderone is just a bit creepy. I watched an interview, via Perez...

Before Ever After
When it comes to reviews, I’ve done fashion shows (thank goodness for the advent of live stream) I’ve sometimes posted my own looks, but I don’t think I’ve done a book yet. Even though I read A LOT - this was my 32nd book I’ve read this year - I just haven’t really found something that was compelling enough to write about. Until now. Last night I finished...

Stormy Saturday Chic
Inspired by a blog I read religiously, 00o00, I am doing something that he does multiple times a week - putting together a compiled bit of fashion.

Look of the Day
I never post “look of the days” ever. Sometimes I’ll post what accessories I’m wearing or a new purchase. So with that being said please forgive me & my 6’2” frame for having to put this in 2 photos.
Accessories: Red hamsa bracelet, Jerusalem, Gold Seiko Watch, Gold bracelet mom’s hand-me-down, Gold trinity ring from Ebay, Gold chain gift from mom...

Societies & Brotherhoods
Lately, as I approach the sendoff [back] to college I’ve been contemplating whether or not to join a fraternity. From my understanding the Greek system (which encompasses fraternities and sororities) is essentially limited to the United States. Yet its connections and networking stretches across the globe, as far and wide as its alumni have gone.
So do I pay the fees, time due, etc…...
