TEXTURE, COLOR AND PRINTS ... FASHION YUM.

POP Magazine the 21st Issue. 

Feels very vintage voyager and I don't know if it's just me but there is that granny vibe coming from this shoot yet still young, you know? A lot of textures, colors and prints on the models and around them.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS SHOOT?

CREATIVESILENCE ... MY TYPE OF CREATIVE.

CHRIS CHARLES: recently came across him through the Target Queen blog and fell in love with his work and the concept he derives inspiration from. ... *love the colors used in the images.
Owner of CreativeSilence photo + design; he is a freelance photographer and graphic designer. Calls himself "a beat junky, music snob, art lover, father, sometimesy producer and picky dresser." Check his blog [HERE]

I cropped the image above a bit but if you'd like to see the full image and look at the images from this shoot check them [HERE]
What can we say creative people love creative people and Chris definitely loves himself creative.

PAMELA LOVE FALL 2011 ... YOU KNOW?

Pamela Love NYC's Fall 2011 collection. 

This line is air-filled with simple yet very statement pieces, the minimalist Bohemian/Greek feel to the pieces just puts me in a state of marvel. Her use of the quartz gives this a very earthy tone and elements inspired vibe [the pieces feel so original, don't you think?]. This apparently has been out on the net for a while but I just recently found out who designer was and just had to post this up, another piece of inspiration to my mental collection. Here is Pamela Love NYC's website [HERE] ... go fall in love there.

These shoot was done by the Billy Farrell Agency ... ... ... at the Pamela Love Fall 2011 collection presentation and thanks to David X Prutting for taking these pictures because they are amazing and definitely make me want to go break the bank and get one of these.

THE THINGS I CAN LIVE FOR, THINGS I CAN GIVE FOR.

... recently was on Fasha and found this song by Paris Jones called "Winter" and if I'm posting it you know it's a favorite! Paris Jones is an upcoming artist who's rap mixed with the amazing beats/background music brings a lighter less gangster side to hip hop that seemed have been lost for a while [basically rap with substance]. I'm deemed a Paris Jones fan and in true fan nature I looked up his more songs and fell for the "From Paris with Love" album [which I want].
Have a listen to "Sky of Love" [HERE] another great one from Paris!

WORTH A LISTEN! ;)

VIRGOS . VIRGOS LOUNGE 2011 PEACOCK COLLECTION.

The Virgos Lounge Lookbook for this 2011 [Peacock Collection] ... a collection that's definitely for those more special events and occasions, definitely a "Gossip Girl" event will suffice [definitely very stop and stare pieces]. The collection is very elegant and has a bold vibe to it, this collection is definitely a Virgos piece [if you are familiar]. If you don't know Virgos Lounge they are an online vintage store and also design vintage inspired pieces which are amazing!

***have been watching Virgos Lounge for awhile and the pieces are just amazing, but my only problem is that as a college student the types of occasions to dress in one of these pieces hardly happen. Sad huh?

You can shop this collection and the other pieces or even previous pieces [HERE]

CLEARLY THIERRY MUGLER FALL/WINTER 2011.

Apart from the obvious that you see in Thierry Mugler, this is an amazing runway show both in concept and the choices to go with the more monotone designs. I would have loved to be front row [even in the back, just in the same air as this show] ... it is the full show video but it is worth the time and watch, felt like watching a play intro very suspense like. Lady Gaga showing up at the end of the show, dressed as herself [who else right?] just shows her presence although would have been nice for her to do a bit more. The video is here to speak for itself, the models movements are just so in character, and catwalk and movements just flow with the pieces.

P.S. did you see that model that almost fell 'cause of the really high heels, made me gasp, but false alarm she recovered pretty well if you ask me [although you can tell she was nervous about messing up] .... ah fashion.

IT'S A COLD WAR, DO YOU KNOW?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR FIGHTING FOR? 

Janelle Monae ... her music is very beautiful. Both soulful and with beat, just hit you like a ton of bricks. Her style is something that speaks for itself and you can definitely see a bit of her and persona in her clothes. When she one a major award, not so sure which award but when she spoke you could tell she is someone who knows herself to the brim and has a strong message, very warrior like spirit in my opinion.

***also bought her CD ... came today but forgot to get it from my mailbox! Damn! 

SHINGAI SHONIWA.

Another amazing individual.
Shingai Shoniwa and African native specifically from Zimbabwe. If you are in the Shingai Shoniwa stalker group, you would know that her style is beyond us and you can tell she has a love for the abstract when it comes to her choice in jewelry and lately, I've been obsessing over getting the abstract type jewelry.

He voice I will say is amazing and she has been well praised by Rolling Stones, to name a few. LOVE you're voice and adore the person I see in public. :)
