Throw Back A Cat Eye

Take a cue from “The Real Roxanne” and stand out with a bold cat eye.  Another trending throwback, this dramatic look can lead into an impromptu date night or a night out with your girls.  Just watch out for Romeo in the blue shoe skins.  Romeoooooo. Forgot? Has it been that long? Take a listen to ”Romeo“ .

JoeyBra Pockets Your IPhone

Joey Bra wants to liberate women from their purses. The side pocket bra allows you to tuck your IPhone, ID, Credit Card, and of course the king of all kings, cash.  This can come in handy while out and about with no coat check. Created by two college students the patent is still pending as the duo style innovators collect more funds through kickstarter.com.  Big mama has been stashing cash in her bra for many moons so this is only a teensy bit ”Off the Grid.” It has a cute factor.

Seeing Red………..Lipstick

The spring and summer trend is riding high right now so we  thought  we would jump on the band wagon too.  Well not really since it is just a classic trend making a resurgence as a “new trend. “ We’re good right?  You can’t argue down a classic. Take a look.

 

Here is a quick tip to prevent feathering: Exfoliate lips with your body scrub, before applying lipstick use a lip pencil of the same shade. This will prevent bleeding. Smooches XOXO

Urban Medium is “Urban Medium”

Graffiti, tagging, urban art or any other name you like (insert it here) has a way of combining all of society ills and wills. Dynamic and reflective.  It can humble you or stir you. Art influences style.

Atlanta based artist Urban Medium who started off  like most graffiti artist, guerilla style, plastering his own handmade black/white stickers all over Los Angeles using hiphop, politics, and mainstream culture to create his own style “culture jamming”.  He is now a 11 year vet in the Art world with a mass portfolio which includes The Vader Project and a studio in Atlanta.  Maybe it is nostalgia or just wanting to stay close to his roots, ahhh who knows, but if you send him a $1 he will send you a sticker. Get inspired.

The price of a luxury bag really should come with a gas pedal and four wheels attached, it should be doing something else besides carrying your wears.

Double duty. Richard Nicoll and Vadafone have paired up to launch a luxury handbag doing just that.  Nicoll’s handbags were introduced during Londons Fashion week last month, your Blackberry, Androids, tablets, etc can get juiced up on the go.  Okay this is how it works you charge the bag up and it  can hold the charge for about two days. The cables are retractable and hidden from view. Nicoll’s handbag also has an outside led light that indicates incoming calls.  No price available yet.
