2009 Spring/Summer Zara

If your city has some cold weather everyday (even in summer), you need to protect yourself, and Zara proposes some garments with a vintage touch, which are very appropriate for your needs. Those garments can transform any look into a sophisticated and elegant tribute to the past. This nostalgic touch is also present in Zara jackets, including leather jackets with traditional zippers or with military-cut. In this collection, jackets are pretty short and tight, just like in the late 60s and the 1970s disco age.

As for pants, not doubt, this spring summer 2009 the big winners will be Chinese pants in matching colors: white, light gray tones and sand colors. Very narrow belts and shirts inside the pants are also features of this collection. In a few words, this collection suggests a trend of being a classic and traditional man.

Comfort Scents


I'm starting to get into interior design and I’ve been absolutely smitten with the L’Artisan Parfumeur luxury brand, more specifically, their candles. The brand has been creating luxury candles, home fragranes, and eaux de toilettes since 1976, their luxury brands extending to production of Bottega Veneta candles. I truly have to say that I’ve never had such incredibly euphoric-smelling candles in my life, with rich tones and scents all packaged in a gorgeous display, L’Artisan Parfumeur are a worthy splurge and a half. In four years the brand has managed to grow from 5 boutiques to 30 in 2008, and 350 worldwide.

Beats By Dre Now Customizable by ColorWare


If you don't know about Beats By Dre, they are essentially a technological crown that not only adorns your head with an excellent contemporary design that pulls compliments left and right, but they also engage your ears into a universe of sound unrivaled by just about any other headphones on the market.

Finally, ColorWare, the brand that pretty much color coordinates all of your electronic essentials including iPhones, MacBooks, and Pioneer plasma TVs has finally gotten a contract to work with monster cables to pimp out their worship worthy Beats by Dre.

If you are the type of person that doesn't really care for the idea of having the same shit as everybody else, or just really really like the Beats and want to gain some swag points (like me), then today is your lucky day as you can officially customize just about every single piece of the beats except for the foam rests in the ear cups and on the arc of the headphones.

Think of it as NikeID for some seriously hardcore headphones. But considering the already steep price point of the regular Beats at $350, expect to pay plenty of dough for em. If you send in your Beats, you only have to pay $250 to get them customized. However, if you want to get them new, out of the box in all of their custom glory, be ready to cop them at $525. Check out the customizer here.

Kanye West Louis Vuitton DON

The Kanye West x Louis Vuitton DON is remixed into a high top version in both black and off-white tonal colorways, which also feature Yeezy’s favorite, the velcro straps. A new colorway of the low top version, a tonal grey version also is part of the collection. A couple of more bold colorways, with some tassle-like shoelaces make there way into the collection, featuring light brown and dark brown accented with another Kanye fav, pink.



This collaboration between the french house and the american artist is really interesting and significant on the high-fashion market, and sneaker market. It means that sneaker culture and sneaker market (sportswear one) as we knew it are dead. The mass market is gonna totally absorb it. And it means also lots of thing about the fact that LOUIS VUITTON wants to extend his consumer targets. LOUIS VUITTON want to have this new consumer : older with some money, and a new fashion culture.





The sneakers should be released in store June 2009.

Will this mix of the sneaker game and high fashion change things for the better or the worse?

Gucci Spring/Summer 09 Ads

The only thing I see wrong with advertising for the new season, Gucci is that male models appearing in the background.




Thin belts with circular dimples created by Tachos and shirts with large collars. Not to mention the famous blue color that is reflected in the collections of the previous season.

unlosable!

Chris "Ike Turner Jr" Brown!!



Pic's from theybf.com: Chris Brown was just formally charged with 2 felonies by The L.A. County District Attorney. One count of making a criminal threat and one count of felony assault both against Rihanna. "Those charges can lend up to 9 years in prison" Chris is already working on a major plea deal, I wouldn't want to see CB go down like this. But you have to pay the price that comes with your actions.

Young Hov! The issue hits stands on March 10th

Pic's from theybf.com:



Jay-Z is featured on the upcoming April cover of BEST LIFE magazine:



He says, I’m a mirror! If you’re cool with me, I’m cool with you, and the exchange starts. What you see is what you reflect. If you don’t like what you see, then you’ve done something. If I’m standoffish, that’s because you are. Jay-Z also talks about what was on his mind when he made Reasonable Doubt in 1996: I made that album to impress my friends, so they would say, Oh wow, look what you did! It was my first album on the label that we owned. I was like Okay, what happens now?

Jay-Z has accomplished so much as an Artist/Business Man! It seems as if this dude doesn't know how to stop. I look forward to seeing what he does this year!

If only she had a "Dream"!!



Pic's from theybf.com: Spotted together court side at the Hawks Vs. Cavs game in Atlanta, GA, The Dream and what looks like to be his new Boo Christina Milian were enjoying a night of pure entertainment. On the flip side, WTF!!! Ms. Milian looked like a cheap hooker. I couldn't even believe my eyes once I noticed that was really her. What happen to the "Black Hair" Mama? This is a BIG No! No!, and I can't believe The Dream would allow such a thing. It looks like a bottle of bleach just fell on her head!! (LOL). Well you know the saying, "To each is OWN"

Further Signs of the Recession: Target Attire





Lo Bosworth is wearing a Target skirt that looked like it could have been from a designer. Gotta admit, for $27.99, this skirt looks nice, especially paired with a plain black tank and flats (of course, the outfit isn’t complete without the Chanel bag, but that you cannot pick up at Target).

Evidence

The sculpted and highly polished Louis Vuitton Evidence Sunglasses is the reinvention of the classic Aviator sunglasses making it modern and much more masculine. It's black/white/gray acetate frame is accentuated with flashy gold/silver metal pieces embellished with the Monogram symbols. Retailing $675.00, these sunglasses represent class, fashion and style while accessorising individuality.


R&B artist The Dream is the first celebrity to be seen wearing these very exclusive sunglasse while doing promotional dates for his sophmore album Love vs. Money (03.03.09). I'm sure these would be a great addition for the all white parties lined up for this summer, but please order fast as this color is definitely going to be sold out quickly!

The Louis Vuitton Evidence line will still keep the classic Black/Gold accent colorway, and will also be introducing the Grey/Silver accent coloway as well for its customer fanbase.
