pac-man x apples = legos???

sounds like the mix is slightly strange but it makes perfect sense... designer ricky, of dee&ricky, has come out with a line of lego broochs dedicated to the 80's game pac man and it features the ghosts (pinky, inky, and clyde) and apples...strange mix but i give it a thumbs up...



pricing:
apples-$75
Pac-Man Ghost $85
1.pinky= pink ghost
2.inky = blue ghost
3.clyde(i love that name)= orange ghost

the 'aizza'

any women worth her salt has at least one pair of 'fiesty heels'. Jerome C. Rousseau's new fall/winter preview is clearly intended for fiesty girls only...square's need not apply. everything about these shoes are just so right, from the color/patterns,to the materials, to the body of the shoe. these are defiantly getting put on my fiesty girl wish list...they are just sassy


the 'serpentine'


the 'nebula'


the 'aurora'

Rugby by Ralph Lauren Fall/Winter 2009 Shoes



fall is defiantly around the corner, i'm from chicago where we really only have to seasons...summer and winter(well not really but it seems that way). fall and winter here can be wet and extremely cold, so you have to find a way to stay warm, dry, and in style. rugby by ralph lauren defiantly thought of my city when they had these shoes in mind.

The Old Ladies Rebellion



i was blog surfing and came across a fashion on highsnobette.com, called 'Introducing :The Old Ladies Rebellion'. Fanny Karst designer of 'The Old Ladies Rebellion' reminds us that there are more people interested in fashion than just hipster chic 20 so and so's. this line in particular reminds me of my father's mother. from the clothing style to the model who look alot like my grandma. before my grandmother's mind with althimzers she was a very successful seamtress and she dressed in her own clothes that look like her work








i love this line because it embodies the type of woman i called grandma johnnie , infinite style and grace....

this has to be said

im not in a relationship because its not what you wanted. i agreed not because its what i wanted but because i didnt want to push you. i had to learn to bury my feelings but more and more i feel like im losing you. i told you all we do is fight and talk about sex....thats no way i want to live. so right here right now i'll say it...if there are others pursue them. i dont think you know but you're sending up major red flags. and im far away so theres no way i can fight you.

McDonalds Cycle Center






being a chicago native i love my city. its the best city in the whole world. but thats just my personal opinion. well our millennium park has just added the McDonalds Cycle Center. the center will store up to 300 bicycles, there is a full service bike shop, showers, and a cafe. so if you're a serious cyclist you will truly appreciate the newest addition.

Younity Re-Fresh The Streets



















i love grafetti art. older generations dont understand or embrace it. but one of my favorite quotes is from a movie named beat street, an artist named ramone said "if art is a crime, may god forgive me". and i live by that saying. anywho this past sunday an all women group of taggers known as The Younity, started working on their new mural called the "FRESHER" project.

Lippmann Collection Nail Polish



i live for women on top, it gives me a extra boost i need to go one. miss deborah lippman is no exception. she originally went to school to become a famous jazz singer, but when times got tough she went back to school to become a manicurist. im quite sure she had no idea that one day she'd be the face of her own nail polish company, company that has been noted in publications such as vogue, vanity fair, and v magazine. she's even created looks for versace, valentino, and zac posen.



after ten years in the businness lippman nail lacquers and treatments have released a few anniversary pieces. lippman has even teamed up with a few musical acts like Pat Benatar, to create the Hit Me With Your Best Shot a delightfully bold, gun metal color. Mary J. Blige, to create No More Drama, a golden caramel with a pearl like finish. And Zac Posen teamed up with Lippman to create Purple Rain, a sassy shade of a frosty shimmering lilac.
