Street Bike It Is

After much consideration the survey says... A street bike is what that is! Most people reccomended a BMX bike, but I'd have to say I think I made a pretty good choice here. And let me tell you this bike is a total accessory to me. Bought it at a bike swap from a guy who painted it himself and loving every ride. Hopefully the Mr. Leppert will add some bike lanes to make the city a bit more bike friendly.

Amber Rose

I don't care what anyone says, I love looking at Amber Rose! As you see she needed a little help in the fashion department. But so what if Kanye's "What Not to Wear" team had to take her to the back room. All I know is she came out a new woman and rocks it all very well.

AMBER BEFORE KANYE...

AFI Dallas-FLICKS

Too many movies and not enough time! From now to March 2nd you can take advantage of The American Film Institute's Dallas screenings at the Magnolia Theater and AMC N. Park Galleria. I'm super excited for Tyson, The Fan and Sugar. And I'm kicking myself for missing Prom Night in Mississippi. (Do look them all up!) Go to afidallas.com for a whole movie schedule and synopsis.

And while on the movie tip, I've got to share a couple of upcoming fims from some of my fav directors that I think are worth the anticipation

My most anticipated... Where the Wild Things Are- Spike Jones (I can watch this trailer over and over again! Reminds me of how I felt watching The Never Ending Story as a Kid).


The Inglorious Bastered-Quentin Tarantino


Funny People-Judd Apatow

Marc is Getting Hitched!

My Favorite pretty boy Marc Jacobs is locking his love down to his boyfriend of 1 year. With his team and his meticulous attention to detail their wedding or whatever they'll be calling it will be spectacular! Maybe he'll design a limited addition purse to tie into the occasion.

Brown Girls Rule!!!!!

If you haven't heard, Beyonce is on this April's cover of Vogue, and just last month Michelle Obama graced the pages! That's 2 brown beauties back to back!!!! Seems like having a black president has started opening the door a little bit no? ?? Yeah for brown girls!!!

Interesting Facts...

5!-That's the number of African American American women to grace the covers of Vouge magazine since the first issue in 1892. Others include Jennifer Hudson, Oprha and Haley Barry.
117!-The number of years the magazine has existed.

That cummerbund got next!!!

No Mommy Pants Here

I'm not thinking about having kids any time soon, but the majority of females I know are married and have spit out a few. And I know it's normal to get into "mom mode" after child birth, but do you really have to lose your sense of style and interests? Is stumbled across this blog The Hipster Mom that proves to me that a women's swag doesn't have to go out the window after kids. From kids street wear clothing lines to interviews with marijuana activist mothers to be, this girl shares the real about mother hood, her career and all else in between.

Kanye x Vuitton

It seems setting one's ego aside and being an intern does pay off. A few months ago Kanye did just that in Paris over at Louis Vutton and now voila! The new Ye x Louis sneak. Didn't blow me out the water, but I'd have to say the company did a good job fuzing what Kanye and what LV represent. The price tag... I'm sure will represent the same. Check for these sometime in June.

BMX vs. Street Bike

Part of my 2009 new years resolutions is to take on a few new hobbies. One of which includes bike riding. I was big into riding around back in 5th grade. I was the chick in the apartment complex who rode around all day during the summer. But I figured what a wonderful way to explore more of the city, snap some pics, get out the house and get in shape! But I've been torn on whether to go BMX or street. I wouldn't mind learning some tricking, but then I'd like to get around on some longer distances too.
I'm doing some research as we speak, so I'll keep you posted. Holler at me if you have any advice.

Take a little Trip

Feels good to be home! There is such a thing as eating out too much and drinking too much liquor... Let me tell you. I got to experience my first NBA All Star event in Phoenix at the Slam Dunk competition. It was "slammin" and all, but $300 nose bleeds is redic! No way I paid it. But my thanks go to Mr. John Starks who got my nose dripping. Phoenix is unbelievably beautiful and oh too short of a trip.






Next stop Vegas. Not for fun, but for work! Favorite memories.. Dave Stewart playing "Sweet Dreams" at our trade show, Christian Audigier rolling papers, In and Out Burger and bottles of Christal.


(Kellers ain't got nothing on In and Out Burger)

3rd Fashion Obsession {The Harem Pant}

Fashion is all about taking risks and I'm jumping out there with the Harlem Pants. That's what they call them in LA, but you may hear them called "Hammer Pants" or something else. I tried these on and fell in love. Not sure if these will get any love in Dallas, but I sure will rock.

BOOM!

So it's been since 1923 since we've dropped the BOOM on ya. But along with the new year have come new tasks and responsibilities (gotta pay the bills). But all that aside, I'm resurrecting this blog. Here's to a fabulous 09' with lots more unorthodox fashion, inspiration, music and just cool shit. Keep coming back!
