Best Fashion Magazine of 2009 Goes To...

Vogue Nippon.

 In my opinion, it had the best fashion photography, the hottest covers and the most brilliant editorials!

In fact, most of my editorials and 'My Photo of the Day' postings came from 
Vogue Nippon.

The styling is always legit!

Trend Report:

This spring, invest in a trench coat.  

They're lots of lengths and styles fit for everyone: cropped, short, long, etc.

They come in handy, especially when it rains, I've noticed.

I purchased a 70's Burberry Trench off Ebay a few months back; I love it.

I'll post it one of these days...

You Know They Gonna Be Talking About US WEEKLY

So Genevia and I met up a couple of weeks ago to commit our most notorious vice = shopping+dinner. We headed downtown to check out the sale at Barneys and for dinner at Devon's. It was cute. It was fun. It was US.

 

"We're addicted to the good lyfe...maybe that's why the letters on my MasterCard have rubbed off.."

As Much As I Enjoy Shoes...I Wouldn't Dare

Alexander McQueen 'Armadillo' Shoes in Python.

Apparently, not even the most towering of stilettos can match these 12 inch tall shoes.

Congrats to the models that successfully pulled them off on the catwalk. 

They'd be behind a glass if I owned them...

Merry Christmas To You & Yours

From Sade & Genevia 

Men's Polo Ralph Lauren Boots

'Tavin Shearling Boot'

$159

I really enjoy these boots for guys and the myriad of styles like it.

They're literally on every fly guys feet and practically sold out at a lot of stores 

like DTLR (Down Town Locker Room)...depending on his size.

They come in brown or black, all leather, or a combination of leather and suede. 

Plus, they're lined with ultra-soft shearling, plaid flannel, etc.

Must-have item for the season guys...

Ladies, these boots are a nice gift for your gents...

Peekaboo: Bathing Ape Spring Look Book

DAMN.

Kanye West is looking like Vice material in this shoot!

Ummm, I didn't know people still wore Bape or Bape was still in business...

I kinda like those tennis shoes and the jeans and I guess the entire look.

Anyway, Kanye made it work.  

He looks at peace.

Sexy like...

YEssssssssss!
