Today
I spent about four hours digging through a luxury consignment store in Walnut Creek California called Labels. I left proudly with a vintage floor length dark teal/turqouise FENDI wool coat, and a vintage crocodile structured handbag. AMAZING. Pictures will come soon...
:) I just couldn't help but share my excitement with the rest of you!

Oscar Diaz's Ink Calender
This blows my mind... sooooo crazy cool
Using the capillary action of ink spreading across paper, Oscar Diaz’s Ink Calendar works by “printing” each day on the page. Using colors associated with the perceived temperature of each month, Diaz aims to address the senses rather than logic. Very different notion of keeping dates.

I love these Italian made sunglasses and here is their new Bread & Butter Berlin Edition
Italian eyewear maker Super debuted a new frame for the recent Bread & Butter Berlin tradeshow. The RSF’s key design elements are a straight upper lip, and open bottom. Standard Italian construction and crystal clear lenses by Zeiss make for top notch quality. This brown tortoise shade was specially made for Bread & Butter Berlin. Only 180 pieces were made and have been individually numbered. Now available from Caliroots.

Louis Vuitton Tambour Mysterieuse Watch
Perhaps not as well-known for its watch engineering as it is its fashion and luggage offerings, the new Louis Vuitton Tambour Mysterieuse watch makes a strong case for itself. Inspired by movements originally conceived by Jean-Eugene Robert Houdin back in the 19th century, Louis Vuitton’s appropriation carries on the legacy as the watch features on mobile sapphire discs which create a stunning visual arrangement between the mechanics and the markers around the dial. The watch is also fully customizable to the users preferences including parts of the strap and dial.

DOVER STREET MARKET: Tachiagari for 2009 Fall/Winter
This makes me want to get back into Visual Merchandising... things like this are why I almost went to FIDM...
Arguably one of the finest retail establishments in the whole world, DOVER STREET MARKET recently changed things up drastically to reflect the 2009 fall/winter season. With it, a series of new spaces and installations were created. With an obvious focus on COMME des GARCONS, new spaces were also created for brands such as OriginalFake, Visvim, Lanvin, Monocle and Engineered Garments.

Kid Cudi feat. Kanye West & Common- Make Her Say
I am a huge fan of Kid Cudi, and this video is BOMB ... I cannot wait for a G.O.O.D tour!
Colorware Stealth Macbook Pro
As I will be heading off to USC in January I have been looking at laptops to use while in college. I have had the usual dilemma of MAC vs PC... While hearing about MAC's new SNOW LEOPARD software coming out in the fall I was leaning towards MAC and waiting for that to come out- but now that I have seen these images my decision is made. MAC it is. Too bad there are only TEN of these made in the WHOLE WORLD. DAMN IT! Of course it has to be in MATTE BLACK looking extra wet just to make me jealous :-p

Some new. Some re-designed. All replacements.
I stumbled across these luxury beauties on Motor Authority and decided to share some of my favorites and most interesting here with you. I cannot decide which to post first so I am going to just post in Alphabetical order. Starting with Audi
2010 Audi A5 Sportback
2010 Audi S7 Cabriolet
I was disappointed that Audi didn't follow in Lexus and BMW's footsteps and create a hardtop... but besides that - this is definitely one of my favorites of the bunch!
2012 BMW 3 series
This amazing machine is hands down the most jaw-dropping of these new luxury vehicles. Finally BMW is making their four door sedans appealing to a younger crowd and styling the back similar to the comparable Audi S4,5 models and the Lexus IS models. This is an amazing upgrade for the 3 series, and if I am drooling over the sedan I will be the first one to order the coupe!
2010 BMW 5 Series
Again, this is a really successful facelift for the 5 series.
2010 BMW 5 Series GT
This crossover vehicle reminds me of a smaller, more compact X6 with flares of a Prius. I can't decide if I like it or not but the more I look at it the more I think it is kind of cute! :)
2010 BMW X1
A baby brother to the X line-up (X3,X5,X6). Between this one and it's older brother X3 I give my vote to the X1. BMW is making some great improvements to their fleet.
2011 Jaguar XJ
I am not a huge fan of Jaguars to begin with but I know a lot of people are and I thought this was a worthy car to add to this group of newbies so I'll add this guy in so you can tell me what you think. Personally, I think it just makes the others look better, but tell me what you think!
I'm still thinking about waiting until 2012 to get that BMW 3 series... it is pretty appealing!! :)
I thought this song is fitting ;)

Louis Vuitton Man Bags for Autumn 2009
DOPE..........
For this Fall, Louis Vuitton adds some details to their men’s bag line. The most prominent is the black leather piping and detailing which accentuate the monogram a bit, and make these bags more than simple clones of their female counterparts. Our favorite of the collection would be the soccer inspired weekender (seen above) with the patch leather work. Almost makes the weekender worthy of a kick around the field.
Rest of the collection HERE:
