*MUAHHH*

Im really feeling the unexpected lip colors that i've been seeing lately on celebs. im slowly building my courage to pull off something like this in public. i tried on a black, a blue and a purple but none have seen light outside of Sephora.

Give Me 2 Pair, I Want 2 Pair...

Just as I was contemplating placing my Dunks and Chucks into retirement after being hit on by one too many prepubescent boys and old pervs, I came across this. Ebay store Soleman's Shop keeps a unique stock of kicks at affordable prices. These babies were only running for $45 (+ $15 s & h) last time I checked. The store is based out of L.A., so delivery time shouldn’t be too unbearable.

here's the pairs that im crushing on



p.s. If I am still feening for these my next paycheck, they will be mine

The DIA gives us...Fashion

The Detroit Institute of Arts finally has something I am DYING to see: an Avedon Exhibit.

Richard Avedon's work is legendary. The Bronx-born photographer was infamously known for his work in the fashion world and pop culture but he wasn't afraid to tackle provacative issues such as the Civil Rights Movement and the destruction of the Berlin Wall. He was the muse of the iconic Funny Face, ironically starring his own muse Audrey Hepburn. I can't wait to be inspired by this collection. Kudos to whoever was genius enough to bring this to fashions' deprived children of Detroit.

Shock me like an electric eel

I'm one of those people who hates being the last to know things, but that seems to be how it plays out for me in most cases. Today while checking out one of my new favorite fashion sites, I found this little tidbit of info:

"Every year, twice a year, Henri Bendel holds an “open-see” basically a big old open casting call, fashion and beauty style. If you’re looking for your big break (Anna Sui and Todd Oldham got theirs here), the next one is happening this Friday, October 23rd.

Just be prepared to wait in a long-ass line. The buyers will be seeing prospective designers starting at 9 am on a first come, first serve basis, and you must be in line by noon to have a shot.

They are currently looking for merchandise for Spring 2010 in all the categories offered up at the story—from cosmetics and fragrance to bags, belts, hair accessories, and jewelry. Even gift-y items are fair game but leave your men’s and women’s apparel and shoe designs at home.

OMGeezers! How could I have gone this long without knowing about this? It is now my personal goal in life to take on this opportunity!
