I gotta give credit where credit is definitely due on some COOL sh**t! My boy Gavin is definitely on his grind right now with his positive movement and "Just Be Cool" Campaign. I check the site daily to see the updates and daily he's been posting something from Music Monday to Timepiece Tuesday. I can only respect someone thats consistent on making a change in the community...This is just a quick little shoutout to Gavin, and the rest of the LAX team before I head out. If you have not checked the site lately then you definitely should...I did an interview with him a couple weeks back so check back later within the next week or so!

Magic, Mirth, and Mischief

Holiday 2009: MAC Magic, Mirth, and Mischief Makeup Collection
Halloween right around the corner MAC is always in line with the holidays! "Halloween is the one time where make up is everything!" MAC cosmetics just dropped their Halloween Magic, Mirth, and Mischief line this month.Its filled with many vibrant colors not just the dark's if you are dressing up as a more scary dark, then you should definitely check out their All Black line they dropped in the beginning of fall. Personally, I dont wear MAC as an everyday make up just because its too thick and costume but for Halloween you definitely will find me at the counter! Can't wait to see everyone in Hollyweird this yr!

Music Monday

Just in time to make the cut for Music Monday, otherwise I would've had to make up something like Tune in Tuesday! I run a fashion blog but of course like we all know music and fashion always coincide, I listen to instrumentals when I work it just eases the mind at all means.
This monday I want to tune in to shine a little or should I say BIGGER light on a friend of mine, Carter. From his past mixtape I was automatically hooked, his upbeat, country slangin sound is a complete formula for some feel good music! He now has a new mixtape properly titled "Legal Trappin" it's 11 songs with dope ass bob ya head beats, that kinda distract you from what he's really spittin about! In a nutshell he's a country boy telling a tale about his life on the mic, girls, and everyday in the streets of LA. A dose of imagery for you to draw your own picture of what he's tellin as well. I would say this mixtape is a little slower than the previous one and on some more heart felt real stuff. He went a different direction from his freshman mixtape, he gives the audience a chance to really get to know who Carter really is. For example there's a track called SDF which is the motto stapled to his name (Stay Down Forever) which personally is one of the realest songs on the whole album "Eat good, Drink good, smoke better. Winter spring summer fall, the hoes try to get us" only exudes a determined mindset for success and no road blocks will stop him, only make him stronger.

Stomp out Season!

Now that summers a wrap even though we still get that wonderful Cali weather and sun it does get a little chilly at night. Just to be in season we gotta start bringing out the boots, and stay fashionable. Here are a couple of my favorite must have's. I keep it diverse there are a pair of boots for every price range ladies, Enjoy...!


Giorgio Armani Ankle Boots-$495
I love these boots! Armani gives boots a classy and glamorous update, adding white trimming, high heels and a bow closure. The black/white contrast screams timelessness, and the heel is surprisingly easy to walk on. If you buy just one pair, make it these!

Christian Louboutin Robot Ankle 120 Boots $1,295
Looking for some statement boots? These 4.5 inch heels are divine, and will give the most stylish kick to everything from gorgeous jeans to tiny mini’s. The horizontal stripes keep them on trend, but it’s the gorgeous gold colouring that give them their oomph. A must have for the Christmas party!!
Melissa Ashanti Ankle $120
These combine subtle German influences with curves and shine to produce a very comfortable and very modern pair of boots. They are also completely waterproof, and very shiny! They look new every time you wear them, and will add the finishing touches to any outfit. A must have!

Alexander McQueen Skull Zip Fron Ankle Boots $911
These are my favorite! From the folded down sides to the peep toe front, these shoes ooze class and sophistication, and are perfectly finished by the ‘skull’ zip pull. I can’t wait to get a pair of these!

Burberry Porsum Leather Ankle Boots $895
I peeped these a lil while ago wen my girl Vashtie was talking about how she copped a pair and I agree they are HOT! These are perfect for the army girl trend, as they will inject a touch of fierceness into any outfit

! From the chunky heels to the straps and laces, they are just feminine enough to look fantastic teamed with a summer dress, tights and a big bag.

"We stopped in to BURBERRY to find these boots I’ve been day dreaming about. i rarely fall in love with a piece, but when i do…i hunt it down and make it mines! that’s right, i said “MINES!”

-Va$htie
GUESS Guess? Peter Leather Boot $189
Okay, not to be bias but of course I gotta include my company in this series. The Peters are definitely one of my fav, they're fierce beyond any means and you can pair them with a cute denim skirt or tuck some skinnies inside! They are "that" boot that you can pair with anything, the even come in brown!

Steve Madden Gammbble Boot $129
I personally own these bad boy's and I absolutely love them! They're one of the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever put my feet in! I can wear them for hours and feel like I have flats on. I love the distressed worn out look they have, yet they're still so fashionable with the wooden heel that give it a western touch!

Eyes that light up the room!

"Ooh girl you got eye's that light up the room" not just a lame pick up line anymore, its literal! Yet another step up for the asian culture (Them-4,987, Us-2) lol. These are actual eyelashes that have little LED lights designed in them! Soomi Park is the innovative mind behind these crazy cool eyelashes. Since wen did mascara become obsolete? Anyway, these lashes use a set of headphones to house the tilt sensor and other electronics when you move or flutter your lashes they light up! Watch the video to see how these bizarre lashes work!

Dose of Provocateur

Picture 3
Sisley "Fashion Junkie" The European based designer took it there! Bold, edgy, fierce, what more could you ask for in the fashion industry?? You would definitely think their garment would be raunchy and unpleasing buuut theyre actually extremely nice cut and sew pieces.
SPREAD: Dita Von Teese for Wonderbra fashion
Dita Von Teese, for WonderBra
ADDICT: Rock & Republic fashion
Rock & Republic, okay well Im going to be the one to say it! Rock & Republic will always just be R&R Im going to give a total bias opinion when I say this! Theyre market target it tall skinny no curve having women. I have never been a fan of their so called "boot cut" jeans that feel like im in the 60's with bell bottom pants on! They can't be edgy even though this ad was not a bad try so we will say A for effort guys!

YSL, what more needs to be stated. . ?

Don't watch this go by. . .

10th Anniversary Custom Rolex Submariner

I can definitely own the title of a time piece head! I love watches like the rest of the world love their sneakers. Especially pieces that exude such class and perfected craftsmanship! Rolex custom made this limited edition piece in honor of SOPH, from the color to the simplicity that still represent a clean cut watch. I love the forest green collab with the white, no flashy diamonds, and still hold the reputable title of being one of the elite. It is still a Rolex. . .

"Having spotted a custom fragment design watch last week, we now see that Hiroshi Fujiwara had more up his sleeve with this latest preview. Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of SOPH., fragment looks like it’ll be making a limited run of Rolex Submariner timepieces, customized to fragment specifications by the experts over at Bamford & Sons. Not much other information is available so stay tuned."
