Between spending time with my niece and nephew who are visiting me for a few weeks, my broke ass computer, and being so wrapped up into anything Michael Jackson related, I’ll be a little slow on posting until I get around to having more time to.  Plus, it’s the summer and I’m trying to enjoy the little of it we are having out here lol. 

One thing I have been meaning to post is a short film from one of my best friends, the poetress Tina Divina of her poem Crazy In Love.  I’m so proud to see one of her works transformed to life, if you haven’t please visit her site, she is an amazingly talented and somehow shares a new poem weekly that is better than the last.  Every time I think I found a favorite, she manages to top it.  Leave her a comment and let her know what you thought as well. 

I’m going to completely avoid talking about that mess that was the BET Awards and go right into Amber Rose and her shoes.  I need them.  I loved her entire look but these shoes need to be in my hands asap.  You know I had to look around for a similar pair, check out a few below. 

Alexander McQueen $555

Christian Louboutin $ 519

Marc by Marc Jacobs $ 304

Carvela Square Toe Court Shoe $ 171

Topshoe $160

I’ve been having nonstop Michael conversations with friends and coworkers as I’m sure you all have as well.  My best friend sent me this email conversation with one of our friends and I had to share, I couldn’t believe they were able to have an entire conversation with Michael song titles like this, I would have ran out midway through lol!  It still seems so unreal, I don’t think I’ll know what to really say or have it hit me for a few days.  I was born in 81 so I truly feel like a part of my childhood is gone.

I still at a loss for words.  I’m listening to his music right now on the radio and can’t even wrap my head around the fact that he is really gone.

Saw this over at Trendland and had to repost one of my favorite spreads, Noctambule, shot by Terry Richardson of Daria Werbowy for Vogue Paris May 2007 issue.  Everything about this entire spread was perfect, Terry is a genius and Daria killed it.  The slits, sequins, paparazzi-esque shots, all of it was too much for me.

This is one of the most clever ideas, Fallen Princesses shows what if Disney fairy tale Princesses dealt with modern day issues and the “happily ever after” was replaced by more realistic outcomes.  The idea and photographs are from photographer by Dina Goldstein  .

Am I the only one that was super disappointed with The Real Housewives of New Jersey?  For one, it is already over  even though it seems like it just started.  For two, aside from the whole “book” drama there really wasn’t anything too exciting that happened.  The previews made it seem like it would be full of drama but I was left wanting waaaaaaaaaaaaay more. 

The best part of the entire season for me aside from the way Teresa says bubbies and her magical hair/eyebrow line was the whole “Let me tell you’s something about my family, we are as thick as thieves” scene.  I would say more but I’m not trying to come up missing.  Well, at least True Blood is back.

Saw this on another site and got that feeling of lust again.   Chrishabana gunmetal smoking lips necklace $ 115.

I don’t know what to say except I’m going to have some major projects to work on the next few weeks. The pieces are out of my budget right now (I’m determined to stop spending on anything I think I can take the time to recreate) so I’m going to try some of these myself, once I do I’ll post some pics.  The pieces range from $89-the mid $200’s, click here to check them out.  It’s too early in the morning to have major product lust.

As me and my girl put it, anything with an architectural and structured feel is perfection.  Balenciaga is always what I think of for that look, I love that the 2010 resort collection has a perect mix of that architectural with a feminine feel.
