I Love a Man In a Suit

American designer Tom Ford, creates classic menswear with a twist. The twist is that some of the suits are a bit quirkier, brighter than your average suit. But Tom Ford definitely brings sexy back by dressing up men like Brad Pitt and "James Bond". Tom Ford also has a sick collection of eye-wear. Pair a classic suit with some modern shades and you have a man that's ready to conquer the world! Who doesn't want that!?

Here's a review just in case you didn't get the essence of the above:
classic suit + modern shades = a man that looks like he's ready to conquer the world!!!






Tchau, be fierce- always!

nonconformist blast

I had tons and tons and TOoOOooOons of fun shooting a mini lookbook at the Arzt family farm a couple weeks ago with the sistahs - Biz, Kristin, and the muses; Danielle (luv her for long time) and Blair ( nice to meecha) . Kristin, this farm and thread lovin' gal had a vision to embrace her home in her designs. The use of natural resources were evident in the iconoclasts pieces with intentions about being a girl who's full of pep, adventurous and indulgent.
Some photos for viewing tease below and more ((here too))

from Asos with love



Hit the street with an urban take on classic British heritage style. Lord Hoxton takes the tweeds, corduroys and waxed finishes of traditional sartorialism and remixes them in slimmer cuts of the retro wardrobe staples favoured by the edgy fashion trendsetters.
Visit ASOS (As Seen On Screen) for more deets!

Farm Livin' W/ Biz

Today I cruised up over to Biz's Family farm around Frederick, MD. And I was repeatedly letting her know my overwhelming positive vibrations about her cozy and vintage cool home in the middle of nowhere. And she showed me some cover-ups both custom made and vintage stuff. Now I know my friend a little more. What an Amazing spot called home.
Enlightened. Ohhhh Ahhhhh

Concrete Reality Artist

Ttéia I, C. 2002
Installation, killos of gold in square shape


Lygia Pape (pronounced PAH-pay) is to this day an influential Brazilian concrete and neo-concrete artist who was known to challenge her audience art perspective with unlimited expressions through various mediums of art, from painting to experimental video. She favored interactive dialogue between the viewer and the art. Expanding the formality and concept of it all was definitely a focused mission through out her work. I applause her!!!


Visitors to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago walk around 'Wheel of Delights,' an installation by artist Lygia Pape. The porcelain bowls are filled with flavored liquid, and visitors can use disposable eye droppers to taste the substance and decide if the taste matches what they expected from the color.

Seen hanging in the background are a number of garments from the late 1960s and early 1970s, illustrating how fashion was influenced by the cultural movement.

Spring in the Hair


Cibu International Spring Roll line of hair products focuses on the everyday women transforming any hair, even curly, looking fresh and fabulous with no frizz. Is it Super easy to maintain your locks with and does it smell yummy like other Cibu Products? Yes Yes ! I used it all summer when I really didn't feel like blow-drying and flat-ironing after coming out of the shower. Good for on the go and not too pricey either. Need I say more? No, right ... so... GO Get it and let me know how you likey.


The videos below of me and some peeps of the Cibu International team at Ratner Co. was posted in March but I just found it on Jesse's youtube page. I was the exec. photog of the day and all the models (Jesse, Katiana, Tamika, Galia, Gaby and Athena) were so sweet.
