Fashion Was Once In Your Face Now It's In Your Mouth

Following the idea created by London's Berkeley Hotel, the restaurant of famous Fifth Avenue store Bergdorf Goodman will offer Prêt-à-Portea on their afternoon tea menu.

It's a menu featuring a variety of petit fours and cookies based on some of this season's garments. Their luxury pastries include pastries in the shape of bags or shoes by Chanel, Marchesa, Oscar de la Renta, Michael Kors, Thakoon and Phillip Lim.

A touch of strawberry frosted sugar makes the soles of our Louboutin shoes really tasty. As BG's Linda Fargo said, you might not be able to buy the garments, but you can eat them in their restaurant between the 13th and 20th of February.

Chanel Brings High Fashion To The Courts

Now Karl know he need to quit. He's giving these girls alot with this Chanel tennis racket. It's one thing to be a stunt queen off the courts but, to bring it to the courts in addition is BOLD. I could see Venus and Serena now; those hair weaves, those massive booties and their Chanel tennis rackets. Now if that's not a stunt, I don't know what one is!!

I'm off to put a call to Serena's people to inform her of TEA!

Bye..

I'm Covering My Eyes From The Shade

It's that time of the season and Ray Ban isn't playing with you girls. They are giving you the legendary Wayfarers re-invented. This is the second edition of the new Wayfarers in the retro beige and black color scheme. These are giving me low-key with a twist teas. I've never been a fan of Ray Ban but, I'm sensing an early birthday gift for The Intellect.

You'd think having half your album leak and a library of material that didnt make the album BETTER than the shit that leaked. . and an album pushed back the last 8 months...3 singles and no release...would put a stop to the storm? Perhaps not. Two new snippets fresh off the press. SHE STILL KICKING LADIES N GENTS! Lets give this lady a round of applause. Im back on ship!

I Hear Em Talk The Coldest Story Ever Told

I know Winter is almost over, hence the weather man calling for 76 degrees on Friday. But, I have to get over my over sized sweater infatuation before the season is fully gone. Alot of men are sleeping on the over sized look. Now, that we've got them in fitted jeans and form fitting shirts, telling them to wear an over sized sweater is sending them back to step 1 right? That's in correct! It all depends on the way you wear the over sized sweater. I suggest pairing the sweater with a khaki pant which is back better than ever this season or any color pant depending on the color of the sweater. I prefer sweaters with dress pants but, that's just me. You could always try something new with the jeans and sweater. The point of fashion is to try what works for you. It's always cool to try new things but, tweak them to fit the characteristics of you. Below, I've included some immaculate, over sized, sweaters that I would like you to consider. I'm not forcing it on you, we're taking this a day at a time okay?


For The More Conservative Type:




Conference of Birds Linus Sweater - $308

For The Risk Takers Like Myself:



Conference of Birds Woodstock Sweater - $374

I'm giving you the variety male tippers, it's just up to you to take it and run with it. You come here for a reason right? Use the resources; we're a modern day fashion library.
