Who wants to be a mother fucking super hero?!

I DO. 

The Good News: Come December, French fashion house Balmain is launching Pierre Balmain, a new lower-priced men's and women's line. The not-so-good news: Christophe Decarnin's predecessor is not designing it. British Vogue reports that the secondary line will be "created by a new design team" and "will not be overseen by the label's new creative director, Olivier Rousteing."


Hmm... This could go either way. I was never a fan of McQ compared to Alexander McQueen. H&M collaborations usually leave me in tears due to their ugliness, Target collaborations are even worse... While this isn't a collaboration, it worries me that there is a different design team... 

The depth and detail used in their designs paired with their astronomical prices is what makes it a Balmain... For only a few to enjoy.

Dilute that and what do you have? 

I guess we will have to wait till December to find out...

In love with all of his pieces... Which one will I buy first?!

Sober is Sexy is a relatively new shirt/accessory company campaigning against drugs. With slogans like:

5% of sales goes to a substance abuse organization which rotates every six months. I am intrigued. A new way to sport the X's of straight edges?

Has anyone else wondered why there were black umbrellas strategically placed on top of Paul Smith's pink building and other places along Melrose? 


Mattia Biaga's Storm of Life is a solo installation at The Farmers and Merchants Bank Building at 411 S. Main Street in Downtown Los Angeles from July 14th to 30th. Using thousands of black umbrellas as his basic building material, Biagi will build an extraordinary environment that will take over the entire interior of a former bank, with winding pathways, towering structures and a full-scale domicile. Both tactile and conceptual, the experience will be intensely immersive and mark a distinct evolution in the artist’s career. Additionally, Twentieth Gallery, Paul Smith, and Barracuda stores in Los Angeles will present an installation of umbrellas at their locations.

Last weekend I attended my third wedding of the summer. I'm not complaining. I had a blast in the sun with friends - old and new in hot Puerto Rico. I did come to some realizations though. First, I need to start working out. I was the fattest of them all. You may call this notion an absurd one but seriously I was the fattie. Secondly, I need to find a new job that ensures the purchase of a private jet sometime soon. Any suggestions?

Usually if I read on the plane I automatically fall asleep. But on the flight eastbound, I didn't take any medications and ended up staying up. I finished reading Dry by Augusten Burroughs and making a couple bracelets. 

Yes, I actually went through with a DIY via honestlywtf.com. Honestly, what a cute DIY. The closure is a little tricky as I'd like to find a better way to secure the bracelet besides a couple of knots but it works for now. 



I found everything I needed at Kings Beads located at 309 N. Kings Rd. Los Angeles, 90048. If you can make it downtown, I am sure that you can get your supplies for cheaper... I spent about a hundred dollars but it included Swarovski crystals and pearls. 

Check this out! Thursday at E-Art Gallery, Lucia will be debuting her first exhibition. 

I'm missing it because Ill be traveling but please go check it out. You may even see a familiar face or two. wink wink. 

I have always wanted a 8MM gun with a mother of pearl grip. 

It has been added to every wish list, Christmas list and birthday list with no success. I have had family members, friends and significant others warn me that if I was ever to get a real gun that I would be excommunicated from all existing relationship. I think now that I am older, more mature and not as hot-tempered as before that this ultimatum should be edited. Still while I pine away for a gun to call my own, I can fill the void with tequila.

Rose gold is on the rise. 

I have never been an accessory person. I do not have a lot of jewelry but my collection is growing. Recently I saw a street style picture of a woman's wrist and she had paired some chains with a Cartier watch. I goggled rose gold chain bracelet and this is what I found:
