Would You Wear...


Antonio Marras


You know what time it is people. We know about all the crazy things you can see coming down the runway now a days, some more interesting than the next. Well while browsing the net I came across an unfamiliar designer by the name of Antonia Marras. I was beginning to become slightly impressed with his Spring 09 mens collection until I came across the look above. ROTLMAO!!! Fashion smashion! What I wanna know is who would be caught in public with my neighbors garden sitting on their head, equipped with the embellishments?!

Bling Isn't Dead!



So you thought bling was a thing of the past? Sike! It's just back in a different way. It's more of a glamorous type of bling rather than flashy and tacky. It's back to the Gatsby era of really valuable jewels (or at least jewels that look valuable). All the big names...Dior, Gucci, David Yurman...have switched over from classic timeless pieces to showstopping timeless pieces and I'm falling in love (sigh).


These bold accessories have been poppin up in all the mags perfectly accenting the bold color clothes that have been hot for awhile now. It just all comes together...most designers have been giving us lady like styles from the 40's and 50's and the jewelry simply follows suit. After a lil searching I finally found the picture of the necklace that inspired this post which is worn by Ms. Over-exposed Rihanna. The necklace is by Vuitton and it's mesmerizing, I'm not mad at the way they styled it on her, but I wouldn't have that collar of the jacket in the way of such an amazing piece.



I guess it's time to stock up on the cocktail jewelry (or raid grannies jewelry box...hehehe)

OK, This Is Getting Out Of Hand...



It seems like every f'n time I turn around, another celebrity decides to dip their fingers into the fashion designing bowl. I get so irritated with the mess that they bring to the table. I mean, everyone already knows that half of you all don't dress yourself but that doesn't mean that it should look like it through your clothing lines. Everyone from Lauren Conrad to Scarlett Johansson has went and tried to become the next Coco...not gonna happen ladies. Next up to the plate(again) is Victoria Beckham, who already tried designing a line of jeans. Unfortunately for Posh, it sort of fell through :-(
I think part of the reason was due to lack of advertisement.

Now she's back at it with a new look; high-end dresses! I guess she decided to to go with something more of her style. She says that we can start looking for the dresses around September, retailing at around $1200. The reason being is because she is using "very expensive fabrics and finishes, lots of embroideries." I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this doesn't turn out a flop like the rest of the celebs that have attempted...and failed, miserably. Hopefully she proves me wrong, because I'm having serious doubts. And if there are any A-List celebrities out there reading this post(which I know there is, lol) please, pretty please, think long and hard before you decide to dabble in something that you have little experience in. Thanks!

Hot Damn!



Well I don't know how these lil beauties or booties slipped by me this season. I love riding boots to death, and Hermes did them in a way that no one expected. Hot Pink Crocodile...WHAT?!? That's crazy! With bold boots like this you have to take it easy with the rest of the outfit, because one false move and you could be a bright pink fool. I wouldn't even put on another pink piece of clothing with these...their just too hot on their own. I'd do all black (oh that's hot), or tan or khaki colors something real neutral.

I tell ya, these would be something I'd past down as a family heirloom, lol.

Birthday gift anyone??? (Aug. 26th)

Congrats Tyra (Hate the Dress!)



Ms. Lace-front wigs won herself a Daytime Emmy for her talk show, too bad she fell flat with that dress. I love Tyra to death, but I'm really not feeling that dress...it's too matchy matchy with her hair, and it has big applique's and draping that's giving me nothing but window dressings. I forgive her this time around because she does still give me fierceness on the show, so I'll let her pass go this time but she can't collect 200 dollars.
Can't win em all.
-Doni W.

More Obama!



Now Doni has already reported on some cool Obama gear. Well you know your outfit isn't complete with the matching shoes! Browsing the net, I came across the hottest pair of kicks that any democrat could wear. A guy by the name of Van Taylor is hocking Nike Air Force sneakers, hand-painted with Barack's face and slogans, online for $500 a pair. "Imma hustla homie, hustle-huslta homie.." Lol, sorry. But yeah, You know this guy is doing his thang if people are jumping through hoops to show support. If I could afford it, trust me-I would! We all have our ways to show support though...but our best way is to go out and VOTE!!! Obama or DIE!

Hip Hop vs. America II


He'll never be in my poolpit

So I just caught some of Hip Hop vs. America on BET and this man pictured above Reverend Rivers (if he's even a real reverend) just pissed me off to the highest degree. The subject at hand was women..black women and how they're portrayed in hip hop and how their voice has been silenced since the days of MC Lite and Latifah. They were trying to find out the reasons why and how it can change. Well ole Rivers clearly proved how most men really feel about women. One of his co-panelist who is a female professor at "Princeton"(forgive me for forgetting her name) was cut off several times by this "reverend" causing her to practically scream at the top of her lungs to get her point across! I swear he had my blood boiling. He let everyone watching know that he could care less about what she had to say, and that everything that came out of his mouth was right and that she should shut up and agree. It was appalling! They could've ended the show right then and there because the question at hand was answered...No, women should not have a voice, and men are superior. I just thank God for women like her, Oprah, and myself :-) who won't let the black or white man keep us down.

And if anybody runs into this man, give him my number and tell him I got a couple words for him. Catch the re-runs of Hip Hop vs. America II and tell me if I'm wrong.

Triple L Society


We say Lux, he says Lavish...same concept. 19 year old DJ Frequency of New York is marking his territory in the world of lifestyle brands with his very own line Live Life Lavish or Triple L Society. He is already doing more than most brands that have been out for a while, as far as fashion shows, trade shows, and apparel for men and women. The most important thing is that Frequency has a good grasp on the direction TLS is going. He knows what his brand stands for and represents and even more established brands struggle with staying true to who they are. I see big things in the forecast for TLS and DJ Frequency so of course I had to ask a few questions so you can get more familiar.

What inspired you to start your own line?
Triple L Society is not only a clothing line we like to call it a life style brand. Basically the line was created to represent how I felt that life should be lived which is “lavishly”. The want to wear something different from what everyone else was wearing was one of the main reasons why I started to design then later on releasing the brand “Triple L Society” Aka “TLS”.



How do your separate TLS from other brands?
Our brand represents a life style that no other line has established. We like to label ourselves a life style brand, not an urban street wear line or high end collection. Every season we like to try new things while sticking to what we stand for and the culture of the present day clothing industry.

What obstacles have you faced from starting your line at such a young age?
Problems faced so far, I can say one of our main problems will probably be having enough time and the ability to travel to different events. I believe that networking is key to a successful Brand. But on the other hand starting at a young age has giving me the chance to make many mistakes which I have corrected also it has giving me the chance to meet allot of well known people throughout different industries.

Give Me The Loot

Who would you love to see wearing your clothes?

I’m definitely looking to doing bigger shows; this will eventually involve bigger people in the industry and well know models ECT. I don’t believe that celebrities should the ones building brands I believe that a brand should build its self because of its uniqueness and its appeal to the masses.

Who would you collaborate with?
Basically we would collaborate with anyone who can carry our brands image; currently we are doing a collaboration for our Fall 08 line which would be shown at the “Gold Mine fall 08 show”.

Diamond in the rough

What advantage do you have over older designers?
One of the main advantages is the ability to connect with the young consumers of today and the knowledge of knowing what they find appealing.

What are the future plans for TLS?
Future plans, were definitely looking forward to breaking new ground with every release with the goal of one day opening our own flag ship store. I’m looking forward to doing more press, trade shows and fashion shows.

Live Life Lavish

Her hAiR RokD my SokZ!!

Ciao fashionistaZ!!! Ok so I may have been alone on this but Ashanti's hair totally rocked Tuesday at the BET Awards '08. She gave old Hollywood with modern flair. I'll leave that dress to Doni and Chris but the hair OMG!! I love when stars take risks like this. She was BEAT to the Gawds and there wasn't anything not one onlooker could have done about it!! OK! she was classy yet sexy, chic yet hip! She gave me everything I needed that night. So two snaps to that girl (even though she can't sing...lol) she did her thing. 'Til next time...

Arrivederci

J.T. For Givenchy



You gotta be kidding me? I thought this kid was done for! OK, I didn't think he was done for, lol, but I would have never expected Justin Timberlake to be the face of Givenchy's new fragrance ad. For a second there, it doesn't even look like him. He has really matured and it shows in the ads. He looks....grown. I know he's been grown for a while but you couldn't tell in the ads that he used to be the hottest pop star out.




I am glad that he's the face of a fragrance rather than joining the rest of celebrities in making their own. I wouldn't mind seeing J.T. in the fashion industry a little more...just not doing his own thing. We'll save that for Antonio Banderas.



-Christopher Nic.

And the Liv Lux Award goes to...

Photobucket

The gorgeous Ms. Lauren London. She was on point at the BET Awards with a bright yellow bubble dress, extensions down to her waistline, and black accessories to top it all off. She walked the red carpet with Cassie, Trina, and Malika and she really stole the show. I love how she barley tries and turns out fabulous, she doesn't look fussy, constricted, or over done but she is still on top of the trends (which is volume and gladiator sandals).

Congrats Lauren...now lets hear that thank you speech, lol.

-Doni W.

It's ok...You Can Do It!

It has been brought to my attention that not everyone is comfortable with the idea of wearing scarves in the summer. Well news flash...not all scarves are made for warmth, and they're not all made out of wool or cashmere.

There are scarves out there that are made of light weight cottons and linen that are made just for summer...so don't be afraid! I personally have to defend scarves because I wear them on the regular, they're like necklaces to me now. You can get a multi-colored scarf and match it with tons of pieces from your closet, or a bold color to brighten up a boring outfit.

Now I believe the ethnic scarves that Lil Wayne and all the hipsters are wearing are on they're way out of style, but a classic color or shape will last a good amount of time. It was really a surprise to me that people found it odd that I was wearing scarves during warmer weather, I mean yeah it might be a newer concept but do people look at store mannequins anymore??? Almost every store has a scarf around the neck of their displays. And I'm not saying copy off the store displays but, draw some inspiration from something!

Get a summer scarf from Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, or H & M

Ask Liv Lux!



Danielle from Michigan asks:





What is your dream career?






Hey Danielle! This is a great question because I have known what I wanted to be for quite some time now...like 3 weeks, lol. No, but honestly, my dream jobs have changed a couple of times but they still revolve around my one true love-fashion. But now I am almost 100% sure that I would love to be the editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia. Yep, that's right. Italia. I feel as though Vogue Italia is one of the BEST fashion magazines in the world. And I have to say that it is far better than American Vogue(Step ya game up Anna!). It gives me much more fashion than any other magazine out there. I know you're probably thinking like "What's the difference? They're both Vogue!" But trust me, next time you go to Borders or Barnes & Nobles pick up both issues and flip through them...I guarantee you will automatically see the difference. But yea, I would love to head such a awesome magazine. To be such a significant name in the fashion world is just an ultimate goal of mine. I want Christopher Nicholas to be mentioned in every household around the world! And on behalf of Liv Lux, I would like to wish Danielle a Happy Belated Birthday! Danielle turned 16 yesterday you guys! Hope you had a great b-day and thanks for being a faithful reader! Love ya! ;-)

Did You See???



OK, I want to apologize for all the Rihanna hype lately, but you can't deny this girls sense of style. Rihanna hosted the third annual “Cartier Love Day” Lighting Ceremony at New York City’s Empire State Building last Thursday. She looked amazing in this strapless PRQ floral mini dress with the Christian Louboutin ankle booties and, no doubt, Cartier jewels. This girl needs to become someones muse ASAP! I think what got me was the jewels in the hair. YESS!!! I LOVE YOU RI!! :)

Weekly BEAT Report: leGs 4 DayZ

Ciao fashionistaZ!! Well since short shorts are all the rage this summer I have to give two snaps for all my lovely legs on the catwalks and streets this season. I have to admit I'm a leg man and a nice pair of studded gliders make my day. A pair of hot pants with a cute top and a vest make the world go round and round. BUT!! Halt your breaks if you're slacking in the cute legs departments. ASH, STRETCHMARKS, DENTS, and so on ARE ALL NO NO's. So here's a couple of tips to keep those legs HOT HOT HOT!!!

*Lunges- dont be afraid to do a couple exercises

*Cocoa Butter- the natural kind (not Vaseline brand) it reduces stretchmarks

*Moisturizing Cream- with as shifty as the weather is I would trust a cream instead of a lotion it lasts longer and looks better

So if you want your legs to look like these so your short will be on and poppin' you better get on it because summer won't be here too much longer and I'm sure you want to sport your hot tentacles. OH! and guys don't act funny chicks dig a guy with the courage to sport those sexy legs...LOl...man up playa...show 'em off..

Take a look...

Next Up: Tynisha Keli


So Youtube has had me in a choke hold for the last few days, I've watched everything from Chris Crocker, to cussing toddlers, but my most interesting find was Tynisha Keli who is signed to Warner Brothers.

Me and my friend randomly came across her videos and seriously, this girl almost brought me to tears...her voice is amazing! First we were watching videos of her singing other people's songs then we realized she's the voice behind the new hit song "I wish you loved me". I swear youtube is something amazing because I felt like we watched her from the beginning stages until she was signed, I instantly became a fan. Believe me when I say this girl will be neck and neck with powerhouse voices like Beyonce and Christina Aguilara in no time.

Here's one of my favorite videos from her youtube page, make sure you check her out.

Hey, She's Not A Boy!



Dolce & Gabbana held their Spring 2009 menswear show in Milan this weekend. Did you catch that? Menswear! So what the heck was Naomi doing strutting her stuff down the runway? I don't know, but she looked liked fiya in a black lace bra, silk boxer shorts and a matching kimono. You know you have to be the cream of the crop when they have you in men's show when you're not even a male. I guess she was able to squeeze time in from the courthouse to do something constructive with her time, ey?

BTW-Campbell plead guilty to assault on airport police. :(

Romeo...Is that you???



You'd be surprised how much time I spend thinking about this imaginary dream man of mines that dresses better than anyone I've ever seen before, and loves to shop like me, that's strong, and tall, and ...ok this could go on for days. But seriously I need to see a guy in Neil Barret's Spring 2009 collection, because it is definitely a dream come true.

Slim silhouettes, unique details, color...what more could you ask for??? And I know the guy fashion rookies are probably afraid of a tighter pant, but GET OVER IT! It's coming back in style and nothing is more disgusting than clothes 3x bigger than your actual size...c'mon now grow up.




Also the shoes in Neil's show were top notch as well. You know what, I don't even wanna go into all the reasons why you should wear looks like these, I just wanna see who has the balls to do it. So consider that a challenge guys ;-).

Ok People, It's Time To Stop!



The Kanye cheese-grater glasses have been over for awhile now....SO DON'T WEAR THEM ANYMORE!!! Please I beg of you, don't buy the wannabe Kanye shades from the kiosk in the middle of the mall because I'm sure Kanye didn't. Most of the time the key to knowing when a look is done is when it gets to the middle school kids (no offense young ones) or when it's readily available to the masses. It's nothing special about the glasses anymore besides the fact that Kanye wore them last year.

So please for my sanity, give the glasses a rest. Matter of fact, lay them to rest with a funeral service and everything. I'm sure Kanye will wear something else that everyone will want to have pretty soon, so be patient and refrain from the cheese-graters.

-Doni W.

Would You Wear???



Well Rihanna rocked the sandals, but I wanna know would you rock the matching ensemble? Balenciaga (who is at the top of my favorite designers list) made some obscure spring looks, with exaggerated futuristic shapes odorned with floral patterns, but topped off with the tribal sandals. It takes a brave woman to wear the whole look from head to toe.

So I wanna know "Would You Wear" this floral spring look from Balenciaga(poofy sleeves and all)?? Leave a comment and tell us what you think.

"How 'Bout A Round Of Applause...Standing Ovation!"



Can I have everyone's attention. I wanted to take the time out to get down on both knees and worship Rihanna for rockin' the *bleep* out of those Balenciaga gladiator boots. Many people would be self-conscious to wear such a pair of dominating shoes out, rather than leaving them on the runway. Well I'm glad Ri took the chance because it looks great! Almost better than they did on the runway...What do you think?

Ask Liv Lux!


Jay from Atlanta asks:


What made you start Liv Lux?







Well first Jay I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate you being a daily reader, Liv Lux loves you for that. And the reason I started Liv Lux is because I'm a born leader and I really really really love fashion, and I needed the freedom to write the way I wanted to write. I have a plenty of ideas bottled up inside me all the time and without a creative outlet, you can go crazy. Now LivLuxMag.com was started for the same reason but I saw that Chris was getting into blogging as well so I wanted us to both have a place to "run free" with our passion. Mr. M Legend then expressed his interest in Liv Lux joined the roster and he now gives you beatness every week, lol. So the ultimate reason for Liv Lux is for people like you who love to hear the word, and people like me who love to give it.


Thanks Jay!


If you have any questions feel free to drop anyone of us an email.

If This Is What Marriage Does For You...Sign Me Up!



Tom must have some magic fabulousness potion because Miss Katie, well Kate since she's all grown and mature now, has made a complete 180 since Dawson's Creek. When I see her on the red carpet now, she's poised and lady-like, and she always has that smerk on her face like she's thinking "Yeah I'm surprised how fabulous I've gotten too".

It makes you wonder how she'd be if she wasn't married to Tom Cruise right now, would she even be talked about. I mean none of her movies have won her rave reviews, and back in the day she was just "cute little Katie" always smiling ear to ear just happy to be in Hollywood. Now she practically runs the place. Her and the hubby are rubbing elbows with the other Hollywood couples, throwing amazing parties, and taking Suri on amazing trips that she won't even remember when she gets older.


I knew Katie was entering into the world of fashion when she started hanging with Posh. Posh loves clothes too much to befriend someone who can't hang on a shopping trip. Then she began popping up on the red carpet in more and more fashion forward pieces and I'm thinking "Ok Katie, I see you out here". I'm eager to see if Suri will be anything like Lourdes, Madonna's daughter, because she is the most stylish kid I know, and since Katie has found the light lil Suri should follow suit.
I love to see transformations like this happen, it just pulls at my heart strings. Now let's just pray her and Tom stay together forever so she doesn't go back to how she use to be.

Liv Lux Top 5 Artist Collabs

Lately the music industry has brought together some pretty great artists that have created awesome music and Liv Lux wants to showcase these artist-duos that have caught our eye due to their great music. This is Liv Lux's Top 5 Collabos. Get into it.


Let's start with my all-time favorite right now, Lil Wayne and Robin Thicke. If you're a fan of great music you need to hear these two kats together. When you think of Lil Wayne, first thing that comes to mind is hard as rapping with curse words we've never heard before. But it's somewhat different when it's a track with Thicke on there. On Weezy's new CD, Tha Carter 3(GO COP THAT!), they have a hit together called "Tie My Hands" which talks about the hard times in New Orleans. They previously have a track together called "Shooter". If you haven't heard these two together, get up under that rock and listen.


Next on the list is Bow Wow and Omarion. These teenage sensations have stolen the hearts of high school girls around the globe with their collaborations. They have even taken the idea to do a WHOLE ALBUM with just them too. Face Off hit stores in 2007 and was a must-have. Even if you haven't purchased the CD, I bet you've heard their hits on the airwaves of almost every radio station. With Bow Wow's lyrics and O's seduction, how could you go wrong?


3rd we have T-Pain and.....T-Pain! My reasons for this are logical. I mean, Instead of naming the numerous artists that Teddy Pin-Her-A**-Down has collaborated with I just decided to do him by himself. I still have yet to find a song that I hate that has T-Pain on it. And not to mention this guy is on almost every remix out. It has to be that unique voice of his. Whatever the reason maybe, I love it and I know you all do too!


This is me, thinking ahead of time. Now as soon as I heard The Game's new single, "Pain", with Keyshia Cole I fell in love. For some reason, I feel her..where she's coming from in the song. She talks about how ever since she has gotten into the music game she has made changes and given back to the world. And Game just reminds me of Ice Cube so much, it's crazy. These too look good and sound good together. They give us the bad boy & girl look. Actually, I love Keyshia's look more than any other artist in the game now. Even though this is their first single together, I see more hit collaborations in these two artists future. If you haven't heard "Pain" yet...kill yourself.


I decided to save the BEST for last. Bey and Jay have taken the game to another level with their music collabs. From "Bonnie & Cylde" to "Upgrade U", I say they were made for each other. There's no need to get into their personal lives...save that for another day, lol. But honestly I feel like they have paved the way for musical couples(cough, cough-Ri & Chris). No need to ask you have you heard any of their music, because you have...trust me.

Well I hope you've all enjoyed reading about Liv Lux's hottest collaborations. Tell us what you think about it through a comment and we will be sure to respond. We love hearing from you all. Until next time..

Welcome to the Jungle

I ran across a really dope hip hop documentary by college students Midori Mcswain and Priyanka Rupani. They interviewed different people involved in hip hop culture, asking them about their feelings on the different controversies and issues in hip hop. I was really intrigued and it added to my procrastination of doing my homework, but oh well, at least you get to reap the benefits.

Hip hop enthusiast or not, you will definitely appreciate this short documentary. Feel free to let us know how you feel about some of the issues discussed via comments.

The Rodeo Drive Walk Of Style Award Goes To...



Manolo Blahnik! Finally, legendary designer will be recognized for the work he has given to the entertainment industry through fashion. Each year the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Award honors an iconic designer that has made a difference in the industry. Past recipients of this award include, Giorgio Armani, Salvatore Ferragamo, Gianni and Donatella Versace and Tom Ford.

Armani was the first recipient in 2003 and from then on this award has been the goal of many designers every year. Blahnik will receive the award in September from the Rodeo Drive Committee and the City of Beverly Hills. It was only a matter of time before Blahnik was recognized for the movements he's made to the fashion game, don't you think? I'm just glad he's finally being recognized because you don't hear about his shoes as much as you hear about other designers that don't deserve the recognition they are receiving-no names needed, you all know who I'm talking about.

The award features a plaque that’s placed on the famous sidewalk of Rodeo Drive with a signature and quote from the designer. Wanda McDaniel, Rodeo Drive Walk of Style committee chairman acknowledged Blahnik's talent by saying, "Manolo Blahnik's relationship with the entertainment industry is legendary."



Manolo Blahnik gained a lot of recognition from television show Sex and the City. Carrie always seemed obliged to buy a pair every time she walked into a boutique. I will never forget the episode when she almost had a heart attack when she saw those Manolo Blahnik Mary Jane's that she thought were an "urban shoe myth", lol...gosh, I love that girl. Well anyways, congratulations Manolo Blahnik!

The Perfect Fanny Pack!!!

Ciao fashionistaz...So I'm sure you all are familiar with the iconic item "The Fanny Pack" or as my bougie divas call it "The Belt Bag" or "Waist Bag" no matter what you call it's still a fanny pack (fanny coming fanny coming....lol...I've always thought that was so funny). At any rate I thought to drop you guys a line to first put you up on how FABO fannies are and to tell you as a beauty expert what you need to have in them at all times. I know people have pondered this forever and LL has your answer. For some people the fanny can replace your usual carrier or serve as a handy addition. I prefer you not carry too many bags then you'll be a busted bag lady...and that's not cute boo...Following are some basic things you should always have in your fanny( i know rite...dont you chuckle a little everytime you read it)

Basic Essentials:
*Small hand sanitizer w/aloe- you know people do not wash thier nasty hands
*Facial tissues- for those oily moments and minor sweats
*Lip gloss/balm- no one wants to kiss someone dry and chapped
*Mini spritzer- I always tell my divas to keep a tiny body spray around for those long days to keep fresh
*Mirror- well duh! you wanna do the occassional booger check right...Lol..
*Ipod nano- for those long walks/ subway rides...something to entertain yourself
*Gum/mints- need I say more
*Emergency $100 Bill- Hello!!! you might see a cute shirt or shoe somewhere

Well those are the basics improv as you so choose. But if you're in the mood to retire that purse for a few (which you lose everything in and OVERstuff) grab you a cute fannie. Just make sure its cute like the black leather Gucci up top...he he

Did You See???



Last week Zooey Deschanel was photographed at the 'Late Show with David Letterman' at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City. Deschanel was wearing a gorgeous cream chiffon frock, a modification from Monique Lhuillier's Spring 2008 collection. She did the right thing with the hot red lipstick and black pumps. I give ole girl an A++! What do you think?

My Summer Wish List

I plan to make Summer 08 one of the BEST summer's I've had so far. I am now officially done with high school, I turn 18 in a couple weeks and I am doing some major traveling with Liv Lux. Well we all know that means that a new wardrobe is needed, right? So here are a few pieces that I want to be included in my Summer 08 wardrobe.



Let's start off with this twill two-button blazer from Banana Republic. I loved blazers last summer but I never owned a white one. Well now is the time. Retail price: $178.00



Next on the list is this Fossil Perry Leather Duffel Bag. I feel as though now that I'm growing up, my taste in more mature things should show. That, and I'm kind of tired of carrying my AE bag, lol. I would remove the strap and just use the handles. Retail Price: $198.00



I need a color. I guess sky blue will be my color this season because I love this surfboard blue 1MX shirt. I love this fact that you could go either way with this; jeans or slacks. Retail price: $29.99



For a while now I have tried to make Acqua di Gio Pour Homme by Giorgio Armani my signature scent but I'm getting tired of smelling like "the fresh sea, warm sun and the richness of the earth that creates a masculine scent that is both fresh and sensual." So my new scent for the season is Jean Paul Gaultier "LE MALE". My granddad uses it and now I feel it's time to pass it on, lol. Retail Price: $70.00


Now we all know that the trend this season for footwear is gladiator sandals. Well who wants to be out of the trend?? Not me! So that's why these gladiator sandals by Kurt Geiger will be apart of my summer wardrobe. Here's a visual of them on..

Can someone say hotness?! I can wait until I order mine!!!
