Lovely People at Chanel Paris Fashion Show 2011 – 2012

Photos from the Chanel show yesterday.

It’s always such a huge visual fashion stimulation for me snapping outside Chanel because you really see a mix of equal parts eccentric and conventional dressing in one place.

Loved the all blue look.

Every time I see her, its always Wow! She piles on the accessories every time, and I love that confidence to pull it off.

Patchwork Chanel oversized bag, stacked Hermes bracelets, multiple Yves Saint Laurent rings. She’s wearing an entire college tuition on the right side of her body. Fashion as status symbol.

Color block anyone? I took so many shots of her, full body, sitting, standing, but somehow I just love how it seems like there is a halo around her in this shot.

Wait, I’ll post the full outfit soon so you all can see the colorful heels too. She wasn’t holding anything back about the mix of colors.

At Chanel you can see classic-clean styles and fierce-fun styles

just call me the cookie monster, in heels.

Lookie at what yummy-ness i found on the Topshop website – i swear sometimes they surprise me, with the simplest of things like this red Cookie monster sweatshirt (also written in Japanese).Sesame Street characters have a special place in my heart and Cookie Monster is only second to Oscar the Grouch.

Doesn’t it look so comfy, perfect for a day of bumming around, watching your favorite movie, going to your favorite place and oh, eating cookies!?


Hip hip hooray for Mondays! – yea I’m not a big fan of Mondays either. But i work for myself so I can do what I want, and today I’m grabbing my kid and heading out to go sight see Paris!

Yes, I know I live here, but you’d be surprised at all the places i’ve never visited, like the Champs Elysee ( yea, I know I know. Jeez, if it counts i’ve driven by it so many times that I have a mental map of where all the store are aligned. i’ve just never actually ‘walked the champs elysee’…
so maybe i’ll do that today.

Hot off the Street(wear)

It’s like my uniform out of the office, and since i’ve been running my own office these days ☺ I wear what I like, and what I like are really nice quality and fitted jeans that hug my skinny legs.

I don’t really do t-shirts but I have tons of simple tops that I rock with my jeans and even more accessories to pump up the volume: like killer heels, bright sneakers, ethnic jewelry, I got it man! My closets a mix of thrift store chic and bad girl freaky finds. Here’s a list of what’s going to be next on my list, and hopefully in my closet soon.


The Driftwood Jean
Pants By Soundgirl $58.00
www.karmaloop.com

I love Soundgirl! Have you ever seen their colorful hoodies? They’re what I like to call “fresh to death”…hehe
And I’ve found that their skinnies(jeans) fit my body good, like a tire on a rim.

Oh, and I haute any denim with back pockets that scream; they add volume to my derrière. That, I can always use.


WeSC
The Eve Jean in Raw Stretch Selvage $114.00
www.karmaloop.com

I feel a weird connection to the guys at WeSC, even though they made way better shit for the guys than they do for the girls, I’m faithful to them because they use quality fabrics and don’t do cheap stitching. You can practically live in their jeans.

This one’s cool because its not as low as many jeans on the market. You know its not all the time that I want to show my ass crack.


The Armed Hoody
Sweatshirts By Tank Theory $68.00
www.karmaloop.com

Ok this is so Gangsta! And I’m not, I know! But who give a hoot, I love it because its so bad ass…Don’t mess with me I’m armed and dangerous.


EVISU GEISHA SLIM FIT GENE by Evisu $320.00
www.djpremium.com

Ok, so the peoples at Evisu finally wised up and did a female version of their widely popular men’s premium denim with the logo on the back and all(remember when only Jay-Z and Pharell used to rock them?), but you have to be a rocking chic to pull this off. Leave it to me…hehe

Aight, So I’ve never actually bought a pair of jeans over $300 but I know for a fact that Evisu makes some of the best denim in the world, fo real. So, If I have it to spare, why wouldn’t I want the best covering my pretty toosh.

Some days I’m ordinary, most days I’m not!
Love – Jahaute!

Alice Smith in MUSE Magazine

A while back I introduced you to Muse Magazine – Like MUSE-IC To My Ear, because it was so fresh and funky, and I love the articles in their Love section!

Their March online edition has an:

1. interview with sexy Indie star Alice Smith.
2. What *real* people were rocking off the runways in Paris France.
3. And the Latest Japanese imports not a car, its designer Kazumi Sasaki

Check them out at Muse Magazine You know you wanna..:)

Wish ATL

A freind of mine pointed me to this store and I thought “Here’s another reason why I need to make more frequent visits to the Dirty South…this is so fresh “

Wish is absolutely fabulous; it’s straight up Wicked!!!! Proving that what you see it not what you get, their lower level is a architectural delight that takes the stores concept of mixing contemporary designs and keeping the spaces’ original use comes complete with transparent sidings in what used to be a public library space.

Located in the urbanite neighborhood of Little Five Points Atlanta. You can get brands such as Nike, Nudie, JB Classics, Artful Dodger, aNYthing and adidas.

If you’re in ATL and want to feast your eyes on something pretty and grab some AirForce Ones at the same time, then check Wish out. Its clean design and fresh brands makes the phrase “Dirty South” seem, well, kinda like an oxymoron.

Oh, and i’m wishing upon a star they’ll soon open a store in NYC

CHECK THEM OUT:
447 Moreland Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30307
1140 Euclid Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30307
