Enthused to be Killing it

First, Hellz x Vans....

Now, Crooks x Vans...
Got the ladies and then fellas covered.

Im impressed.

The Way to My Heart....

Would usually be chocolates, Brandy Old Fashions, and a pair of thigh highs... but this Valentines Day that's not the case. Three days from now I want to be wearing the latest release from Oakley. Yes, I want to be WEARING them.

Delicious Eye Confection: The frogskins clear candy red Valentines Edition just makes my mouth water.
The red frame on these bad boys fades to white and is matched with the red iridium lens. Now.... All that being said, there are only 30 pairs of these made.

What are you going to do?

These shades are not available to the public but I want to see that candy hearts package on my doorstep.

Work your game. Go on and get em for me.

Bitch on a Budget

Sunday Afternoon we drove to Barnes & Noble to do some book browsing and buying. I could spend all day and night in there if you dropped me off but sunday was a different case and we were out the door about an hour after we arrived. On my way walking out my eyes were burned by the glittering shine of this book. At first site it captured my concentration and I came to a sudden stop, reached out my hand, and picked up Bitches on a Budget.

I guess you could say the first word being "bitches" in bright red with an image of a locked up purse printed on the cover is what caught my attention. As my hands were grasp on the front and back of this book, my thumb brushed against the pages starting in the beginning, leading me the the middle.
Funny thing is I stopped on this page which said Online Shopping is the devil. Tooo fuckin funny. I love online shopping more than brandy old fashions. The book hooked me up with a couple more sites and then I browsed on.

The run-through I had with this book was quite intriguing and I decided to find more online.

"Bitches need to eat" if you cant buy this book, go to your local library.
Educate a bitch.

Fellas, Getcha Feet Right...

A few days ago The Hundreds dropped these Low Leather Johnson's.

The new colorways they got out make me smile. Fellas.... for real. Their pleasing look is polished with attitude, giving me an opportunity to approach the 'wearin one' in a cup-cakin sort of way. Ha. Riiaaaghht... Mind your manners proficiently.

The allure and grace of this shoe could attract someone on a smuggling symmetric level. Don't let them creep away.

Take a moment out of your day to close your eyes and listen.

Disillusioned Winter

I usually love Winter. I love to see the snow on the ground, I love to see the crystals glistening on the tree branches. I love to see snowmen and Christmas lights.... But this winter isnt havin it.

If its not sub zero temperatures its raining. I'm done with winter. I wish it would surrender to the summer months.

Winter:

You wake up early and its pitch black then a sudden change of grey occurs. If your lucky maybe the sun will come out in the afternoon but chances are very low.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I was getting my pictures transferred over to my new phone I passed these one up. These were taking last summer. This is what I truly desire, its what I long and yearn for. ha! Bring summer back to me.

On the real note... I used to wake up and take the devils children(my dogs) on a walk and this is what I got to see almost every morning.

Bright and early, the first blush is a beautiful thing. If you wake up prematurely, this is what you get; If you sleep in, this is what you are missing out on.

The break of day:
Exquiste and Pulchritudinous.

This put me in a great mood this Saturday morning.

Welcome to the Mad House

I cant get the Balenciaga 2010 Spring Collection out of my head.

It seems like this season they went with a futuristic sporty concept and its teasing me... Bad. I'm in dire need of that hooded vest; I feel like it could be love. With its astonishing handiwork, the leather vest features different material being lined, stamped, and woven together with ribbons and elastic.

Yup, gives you the butterflies, I know.

These short leather boots that side with linen and wool (which are handwoven on a loom) which are joined by tasteful metal chains are... the... dimepiece. Although, I'm not a big fan of the heel... I appreciate these boots and the fact that I find them so appealing.

Welcome to the Mad house...

I Cant get the collection out of my head.

Its like to eat cereal without a spoon.

Do You Know Your Rights? Pt 2.

Lets take it back a couple of months to the first time your were introduced to Ken & Dana. I love this jewelry because if something needs to be said they are going to say it.

This piece was designed in relief of the horrible earthquake in Haiti. The necklace states the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (Public Law 99-603), which abolished the quotes of the Immigration Act in 1924.

At 60 bones, Ken&Dana donate 30 to the Red Cross.

So if you don't feel like texting to donate your money... Wear this statement.

Chanel Tattoos

Yessss, I know... Chanel's temporary tattoos have already been blowing up everywhere. But, on the real, I have always wanted to get Chanel Bangles tattooed on me but fail to do so because of the detail and longevity of the tattoo. This my friend.... is perfect, superlative, and down-right peerless. The Spring 2010 collection is going to introduce you to these tattoos as seen on the run-way before. There will be 55 in pack sold at 75 bones. That's a new Chanel tattoo every week putting you at only about a buck 40 per tattoo.
