Rihanna X Manolo Blahnik "So Stoned"

Rihanna collaborates with Manolo Blahnik on “So Stoned” capsule of clear strap and heeled sandals ecrusted with large stones…it’s what a senior stripper might envision after. It’s funny but perhaps that dichotamy comes from the collaboration itself- young meets old, demure meets flashy…  I’m not sold on this collaboration- it’s granny trashy luxe- if riri…

Gucci Resort 2018: The Sloppy Copy

I took a moment to reflect on Gucci’s recent collections, and honestly feel like I’ve had a love/hate relationship with the librarian look, the 70’s has been great to Gucci and I likewise will adore many of the on-trend looks and grimace at others.    The look that stood out from the collection was the…

I’m not…

Coral Castle: Selfie Shame Game

With every new adventure and experience, we find ourselves face to face with another photo op, a selfie shot backdrop. My impromptu trip to Coral Castle proved no different. While on the tour, I began applying my black lip liner and lipstick…already getting prepped for my photos.  Is it to create a memory, to superimpose…

Jeremy Scott’s nostalgic pop culture, animated, and fashion referencing designs always have us reliving our childhood…now through paper dolls.
