I was a happy lady yesterday when my order from Hansel and Basel arrived! A few weeks ago, I posted THIS up asking for your help to find out where these socks came from! Thanks to my new e-bff, BetseyJ, she was able to lead me to Hansel from Basel! Check out what I ordered how I wore them!!! SO HAPPY!

The Shibuya Shoe, Alpinestars

Our good friends over at Alpinestars emailed us their newest release. What do you think? Like it, love it or not so much?

All of these constructions are available in lace and Velcro versions and offer protective comfort without sacrificing freedom of personal style.

Today's WANTED: Jumpsuit

Not only am I an avid blogger, but of course I'm an avid blog surfer. Last week while pa rousing through my bookmarked list of favorite sites, I stopped at (yet another) teen blogger phenomenon, Jane's blog, "Seas of Shoes."

I won't go into too much detail about this blog, because I think I will end up becoming more and more envious of her when she doesn't even deserve such jealousy! HAHAHA! But DAMN, gotta love her and her mom's style - plus their house is pretty decked out as well.

ANYWAY, back to the topic! I want this harem pant jumper thing that I saw Jane wearing:



Turns out its from Etsy's Babooshka online shop and its called the Jodphur Jumper Racerback Playsuit! What do you guys think?



I'm kinda strapped for cash at the moment, so I'm really hoping that come next payday I'll be able to get my hands on this (since there aren't many left)!!!! (PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE!!!) I think it would be PERFECT for a spring/summer day that is SOON to come right around the corner here in NY!

Hellz-Bellz Spring 2009 Collection

Hellz-Bellz brings us their Spring 2009 Collection: "Culture Clash"

Because they provided us with such an eloquent dialogue to describe the line, I'd like them to speak for themselves =)

"It's about that time again... Out with the old (or shall I say cold) and in with the new!!!

Hellz™ is proud to present to you our Spring 2009 Delivery I "Culture Clash" Collection. Since 2005, Hellz Bellz has provided fashion alternatives for bold and fly fashionista's around the globe. Through our signature illicit graphics & progressive designs, Hellz continues to personify female empowerment and individuality, while defying all rules of conformity.

Taking it back to where it all began... NYC of course, the collection was inspired by the cultural melting pot itself, bringing to you a collection full of vibrant colors and patterns, uniting and bridging cultural boundaries. The line features a brushed french terry pullover hoodie with triangle jacquard triangle rib and "Natural Born Badass" embroidery on the back, a zebra mesh jacket w/ contrast pop red lining, the much anticipated acid wash denim jacket with "HELLZ" and broken bottle embroidered artwork on the back, along with fashion tops, tanks, graphic tees and multi-colored leggings."

Below are my personal fav looks - LOVING the eccentric color palettes and dominating designs. Can't WAIT!

Is Duff Enough?

Hilary Duff is the latest celeb to collaborate with DKNY. Looks good now, but I was highly disappointed in the Rachel Bilson X DKNY collabo.  Well have to wait and see.

Grammys 2009

The Grammys is practically a day old so here's my quick rundown. My list of fashion winners is quite short because well the Grammys was so boring and blah and so un-Rockerish for this awards show. The Grammy's is the time for everyone to have fun, take risks, and just be more adventurous. We need Lil Kim and J-Lo back.

Anyways here they are:

Katy Perry

Not really sure why she is posing like this, but I like this color against her skin, and it's a fun haute couture dress in bubble gum pink. BTW what did you think of her performance. It bugged me that she didn't move her arms, she was jumping all over the stage but her arms were glued to the side of her body. 

Kim Kardashian

I actually didn't notice her through the entire show (I did fall asleep at one point) but I saw this pic, and just love it, because it's something I'd wear :-)

Jennifer Hudson

I LOVE HER. She made me cry when she received her Grammy and when she performed. God Bless Her.

These were the only ones that stood out to me because they fit their bodies well and the embellishment and architectural details are fun and interesting. 

As for the Grammys 2009, highlights, for me include:

Chris and Rihanna>> What's going on!!!??? I have a major crush on Chris...well used to. :-/

Miley & Taylor>> I really liked their performance of Taylor Swift's song "Fifteen". I know i'm too old to like these Disney show kids but i can't help it. I like Hannah Montana, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, HSM, Camp Rock....I need to borrow a child or have one so I can pretend that it's for them and not for my pure enjoyment.

Finally, my fave performance of the night...M.I.A. holding her own with the boys, 9 months preggo and all!!

MIA in Henry Holland looking like a cute lil lady bug!

We Be CLUBBIN!

These are kinda like my real first pair of "female empowerment" shoes! HAHAHA - talk about FIERCE! Since you'll usually find me wearing either combat boots, sneakers, vans, or uhm yea... Extremely RARE to find me in heels, but I'm hoping to change that!

When I stumbled upon these babies at Steve Madden, I really couldn't resist! Flashes of outfits blurred through my mind and I KNEW I needed to buy! AHAHHAHAAH! These are called "Clubbing" - go figure!





BAM!


I'll post up an outfit when I decide to wear them =)

Charlotte Ronson x Cream of the Crop

In the mood for Valentine's day? Grab your lady friend a cute tee by Charlotte Ronson for NY based brand, Cream of the Crop!

"Love Me" =)

Thanks to Nitro:licious, we were given a look at the different colorways (see here).
