above all

inspire me

there are so many things that i do as a result of things that have inspired me.
Whether its fashion, fine dining, photogs, or even blogging about my interests, they all stem from some mode of inspiration that has led me to put things into action, but I realized much of my inspiration comes from those around me.  I like to give credit where credit is rightfully due, but I've come to realize that my love for art, fashion and my new found fondness for street wear has heightened as a result of my oh-so-cultured boyfriend whom I fail to acknowledge.  So in honor of the man who completes me, here are some things that I think he'd happily approve.

To begin, nothing would be more suiting then to begin with a glimpse of where his world & mine collide.  in honor of the upcoming collaboration between NY skate brand SUPREME and supermodel Kate Moss, posters featuring the hot Brit sporting the brand herself.

One of the most sought after items from the brand he swears by
Supreme Box Logo Hoodie

For those of you who are aware of the streewear and action sports trade show AGENDA that took place at the beginning of the year, you would know that they created limited edition HUF + Flexfit snapbacks.  The   most exciting part to the photo below that was featured on Freshness is that the photo was taken by none other than my confidant himself<3

Sick Wheels & Tight Gear

Having to commute to LA from the OC on a daily basis has taken a toll on both my ride & my wallet and it is at times like this that i wish I could rely on the convenience of public transportation or better yet some sick ass wheels.
how cute is this? Penny Skateboards have come together with the genius of the Hundreds to pop out a new way to ride & still look adorably cute @ the same time.

talk about EGO

The man who made Louis Vuitton blossom has taken his art to a new level with his largest range of artwork spanning from '97 to present day.  His new exhibition "Ego" opened in Qatar and at the heart of the exhibit lies a 7,500 sq. foot space occupied by a huge self blow-up of the artist himself.

Jungle Fever

In lieu of the recent rain, spring is approaching and with it comes new fixations.
There is something so alluring about animal print on a casual palette that I can't shake off and the spring/summer collections are bringing the fury for men & women alike.

... here we go again ....

After a grueling 9 month hiatus, it would seem most appropriate to begin with an explanation for the long truancy, but why waste time? Instead, I'd prefer to jump back into things, starting with my recent fixation to find a suitable book bag in time for the fall school semester to begin.  This is where Herschel Supply Co.
comes in.  What began as a small family company has managed to blow up in the past year and has become one of the most sought after label for students, athletes and trendsetters alike.  By taking a classic style and reinventing them with their own modern ideas and varying fits (not to mention the affordable prices) it is easy to see why everyones trying to get their hands on one. 

Hermione turns fashionista

The Harry Potter craze has begun all over again, but has anyone noticed how our little Hermione Granger has blossomed into one hell of a beaute? 

 Emma Watson had me blown away in the December issue of Marie Claire.
