Slow down son, ya killin’ them

Days late on this one. Please forgive me. On March 9, 1997 Hip-Hop lost one of its greatest talents, Mr. Christopher George Latore Wallace at the age of 24. So here is to the man that helped establish what is now Bad Boy Records and “Puff”. This is for The Notorious B.I.G..

It’s like I don’t know you anymore.

Nike has just released the Blazer AC in 3M. What does that mean? Well in a different light, the 3M reflective material makes the sneaker appear as a whole different one as the side of it takes on a new color while the heel, toe, velcro straps and the Nike straps remain the same.
Personally love this sneaker. I can already picture it with slacks and an oversized v-neck with a pendant hanging from a long gold chain and perhaps a straw fedora hat too. You know, in the summer or once spring finally kicks in. Whichever is first. Unless you are one of the lucky ones to reside in warm weather year round and get to indulge in these looks earlier than the Northeastern folk like myself. Oh yeah and it would help if my feet were not so tiny that they belong in the kid section.
So the church began to, how did you say it? Oh, hunt them down and kill them.

Here it is. The last we have of the late Alexander McQueen, this is his Fall 2010 “Angels and Demons” Collection. It stuns me. Not in a good way. In a great way.
Stuck there, posted on a wall. City through my lense.

This piece excites me soooo much!! I can’t efficiently describe it with words. Basically, pieces like these challenge me to think more freely and not restrain myself to one medium. I have not done any pieces lately because well… fashion school IS fashion school. Everything I do there revolves around my pattern cutting, digital imaging, fashion illustration and textile classes. It all reverts back to me continuing with studying fashion design next year but with my spring break (which is ONE MONTH LONG!!) coming up I am going to try to attempt some pieces. Those primary skills in painting and drawing always need to be kept fine tuned when in art school, but I want to continue with doing so even after I am done with college.
Thank you Alberto “Sting” Russo, your portfolio has inspired me.
If fashion was porn, this dress is the money shot!

Missed out on everything fashion week! Too much backtracking to blog about with London, Italy and Paris. Balmain and Uncle Karl came out to amaze the world though!! Now onto The 82nd Annual Academy Awards red carpet looks.
Something about the Vera Wang dress above fascinates me. It is my favorite look that graced the red carpet last night. Following in ranking are Penelope Cruz in Donna Karan, Gabourey Sidibe in Marchesa, Kristen Stewart in Monique Lhuillier and Cameron Diaz in Oscar de la Renta. Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham is worth an honorable mention or rather Cyrus’ stylist should recieve praise.
Next are the penguins! Hehe. That is my name for the guys because it is known that the Academy Awards are a black and white tux plus bowtie affair. No funny stuff here. That is what the Grammys or even the VMAs are for. Anywho, here are the list of my top four with Zac Efron (unsure who he wore but one of the few who opted for a tie), Lenny Kravitz (unsure of what he wore too), Taylor Lautner in Dolce & Gabbana and Jake Gyllenhall in Burberry.
Lastly, my favorite couple of the night was Sam Worthington from Avatar with girlfriend, Natalie Mark. This is solely because of her GOWN! Not really her look… but the gown is amazing if you look at the bead work closely.
