Linda Farrow x Luella

I don’t know about you….
But I used to mimic Eartha Kitt as a kid - when watching “old school” Batman episodes. I don’t know what it was about “Catwoman” that excited me so much, but it didn’t take long before Michelle Pfeiffer brought the essence of “Catwoman” back to the silver screen back in 1992. Linda Farrow Vintage has been doing a mean collection of collaborations which has featured Luella, Bernhard Willhelm, & Jeremy Scott. Even though these collaborations have worked together to bring a new stance on wearing sunglasses….I am not too sure many of us have the guts to run across down in a pair of “cat woman …

I have to admit that I am an American Apparel junkie.
Something about simplicity always overwhelms me! Then again it could be the infinite possibilities of adding your favorite accessories to an American Apparel ensemble that just does it’s justice out on the streets of NYC. This extra cute classic hoody pullover can be worn casually - but as you know….women love the “glam” - so what not spark it up with your finest pair of pumps? With added extra length this Raglan Hoody Dress can be layered or worn plain. The price isn’t bad either considering it’s only $39.00! Oh did I forget to mention the eight colorways that will go perfect for the …

Have you ever looked at a sneaker - and had music played in your head?
The first thing that came to my mind when looking at these Reebok Freestyle sneaker is Kanye West’s Flashy Lights. This limited edition Reebok Freestyle has all of the components to make a bold statement this season. Featuring sexy gold trim, and multi neon colored stripes paired against black leather sounds like music to my ears.

More Views After The Jump…

After my meeting downtown, I headed towards Mid-town for Macy’s Herald Square Annual Flower Show. Every year around Easter week, Macy’s features a beautiful selection of exotics flowers, that adorn it’s main selling floor. Over 30,000 lush trends and plants can be seen for this two - week event. Featuring over 11 garden environment styles - tourists & New Yorkers gather together to enjoy this beautiful and festive event. I was able to catch some of the highlights for you ladies to enjoy.

More After The Jump….

OMG! What a day today!!! So get this… I had an meeting today with the good people over at Adidas, so just to let you ladies know…there will be a lot of surprising things to see really soon! But wait! Check this out….I was up for almost 20 something hours and decided to take a “cat-nap”, seeing as though I had to be downtown at 4:30, and well I took my cat-nap at noon…..only to wake the hell up at 3:22 pm. I don’t ever think anyone has ever seen a black woman fly across a small NYC apartment like her tail was on fire. I had to “shuck & jive” from the bathroom …

Everyone loves a “Plain Jane”….
Especially when she walks to the own beat of her drum…
Who doesn’t mind walking down Prince Street rocking natures perfect cosmetic - O’Natural!
Please….some would tell us to go into “glam mode”…and realistically who abides by those rules? Usually the conformist types! Right? Exactly! So that notion gets automatically thrown out for something laced in cotton & made for outright comfort! One of my favorite T-shirts this season has to be Married To The Mob’s Jane T-shirt…which definitely receives it’s share of attention. Coming in both black & orange color ways - you can’t help but to love the effort put into this seasons collection, thanks in part to Leah’s keen …

They’re back….
Covered in smooth sliver leather paired against a silver mesh toebox & yellow midsole, these Nike Air Max 1 Premiums are definitely for the woman with some swing in her hips. Let’s face it - the sneaker game has really adapted to the bright vs. brighter factor in the last few months. And while we keep ourselves in the “safe” way of thinking, I would have to say it’s nice to add something new to our element. Purchase has brought back the “CMYK Pack” for another round…first come - first served! So ladies….get up on it!

Alright….
Now you know it’s on like popcorn…right? Exactly! Now last year I have been lusting over a pair of peep toe Lanvin ballet flats - which I never found in my size by the way! So It looks as though Puma has stepped in to fill in that void that I have been missing for a year. By creating a pair of Lifestyle Ballet Flat Peep Toe Shoes. Can you say HOTNESS? Oh yes - I will be rummaging through the city looking for these! Coming in both black & white colorways - you’ll definitely steal the show this spring! Nior covered paired against a suede heel and ready those freshly top coated toes …

Given the interesting color scheme of bright vivacious hues of pink & green, New Balance has been going fourth in it’s pursuit for global domination….well I would like to think so considering I have been noticing more interesting releases. And as the Spring officially rolls through this week, we are reminded why we anticipate stepping out on the pavement with something “Fresh” to the highest degree. Meet The New Balance 574 “For Love or Money” Almond . Now the dynamics of this sneaker may be “too much” for some….but I have to say - THE MORE COLOR THE BETTER! Light up your life with smooth green suede, patent leather pink trim, and a …

Happy Hump Day ladies….
Yesterday I hopped on the L train to make a detour into Brooklyn, for an afternoon with the good people at Triple Five Soul’s Main Headquarters and let me tell you guys - it was FABULOUS! I had the chance to drool and gawk over Triple Five Soul Women’s Spring & Fall collection - which I must say was to literally “DIE FOR”. This years collection was inspired by the 80’s to the fullest capacity. From old school “hype” diamond prints, to “B-Boy” styled hoodies & jackets, straight back to punk styled blazers….I couldn’t help but to pick my jaw up in delight. Triple Five Soul has to be one of …

PMS…..
If I had known that Power - Money - Sex stood in place of my monthly mood swings…I would have rolled with that notion a long time ago! Claw to the M-O-N-E-Y has updated her site bringing you the latest from her collection. Today I had the chance to take full view of Claw Money collection via ATMOS in Harlem….and I must say ladies - you should hop your tail on the local 6 train and take a sneak peak at what on deck. My personal favorite had to be this DJ Bag which is super durable for the “NYC Spinstress” on the prowl.Would you believe that this bag can hold up to 30 …
