Opposite ends of the style sect master this look by placing the flashes of pink in the back, adding excitemnt to what first appeared to be an average hair style.

Lady Gaga also plays around with unnatural hair coloring. Her coloring technique seems to be more of a dip die with heavy color at the bottom that gradually turns to her a more natural color at the roots.

I DIDN'T KNOW ACNE MADE SHOES

Where have I been?

I stumbled upon a pair of chuncky platforms with a thick ankle strap by Acne today. They were cute, but you know I don't rock with ankle straps, so I went to the site to see what elses they had and found these gems. 

 

 Asteria

The rusty three prong heel is what immediatly catches your eye on this shoe.

You actually only walk on the longest prong, so Acne made the other two removable.

Atacoma 

I am drooling over these metallic trimmed wedge booties.

Perfect segue from winter to spring

... except for the suede we'll just pretend like suede is easy to keep in slush and rain

NYFW STREET STYLE

The past fashion week hosted in NY [Feb 11-18/ the last fashion week to be held at the Bryant Park] was sprinkled with snow forcing fashion followers to be, both, practical and chic.

Too Cool: It's now totally ok to wear sweats outside of the two block radius around your crib

  Rabbit fur with pop-over mittens: Unexpectedly cute

*not sure about the 2nd coat and other layering pieces*

 Homegirl does look a little razz-ma-tazz, but a sense of ferocity exudes from her

being sassy in sweats is a true calling

Heeled duck boots: Instinctively, I assume these are Dsquared, but I'm not totally sure

 

Anna Winteezzy in the fur trimmed trench: Not necessarily street, but I love her pimp hand

*As far as Yezzy's new blog... I love it! It's minimal with an emphasis on quality and artistic vision. I love love love the huge framed images. Check it out [here].

Grace Jones' 1985 Island Life album cover

Fun fact: Grace Jones could not actually strike this pose. Photographer, Jean Paul Goude photographed Jones in a series of positions being proped up with boxed and credated the illusion from there.

Fall 2010 (CAPSULE) SHOW HIGHLIGHTS

The Capsule Trade Show is known for their selectness and highstreet themed events. This season, New York Fall 2010 show expanded, but didn't slack on the talent.  I was pleasantly surprised by brands I followed,  impressed by design teams I knew very little of and even adopted two new favorite collections.

 

 

 W. Dress Room, a fast fashion Koren label, showed these short hair winter boots. This was one of the brands that blew me away. They actually design and manufacture new styles everyday.

 NEW TEES FROM HELLZ BELLZ

Just when I thought I was so out of the printed t-shirt phase of my life, Hellz finds more cleaver ways to put female and fashion icons on tees... I don't see myself resisting these come next fall.

 CREATIVE RECREATION SELECT

The popular, slim, hightop sneaker brand added women's shoes to their repertoire this season.

YMC, NEW FAVORITE, NUMBER ONE 

I love their classic, quirky approach to womens design.

Their fall collection featured innovative intarsia patterns and revamped woven shirt detailing.

BARLOW, NEW FAVORITE, NUMBER TWO

Sexy, tom boy pieces with touches of fashion.

My two favorite pieces didn't photograph well on the rack, so I had to borrow images from the look book. 

 

pieced leather, highwaitsted slim skirt

  

dropped shoulder, canvas jacket,

loves it! 

NEW BADU ON ITUNES

After New Amerykah Part I, I thought Erykah Badu was moving into being more of a lyrist, but this new single from Part II is taking it back to her Baduizm singing days. I love her doing both, singing or rapping [her transition is seemless]. As a matter of fact I think today will be a Badu Day.
You can preview and buy the new single , Window Seat, on itunes.
