ON POINT

NEW NAIL TREND: POINTED NAILS





During the 20/20 special Last November, I noticed Rihanna flexing her personal style with sharpened claws. While, style wise, she can do no wrong, I definitely thought the nail shape was a little out there, but chalked it up to her expressing her rocker side and appreciated her doing her own thing. I couldn't imagine anyone else pulling the shape off. Recently, I saw Fergie-Ferg's take on the sharpened look and next thing you know I'm filing my nails to a point.

THIS CHICK IS SUCH A PROBLEM



NEW RIHANNA ROCKSTAR VIDEO
you can't tell her nothing.

THAT'S HOW YOU REPRESENT


While I was shooting love is love, love's summer collection last Saturday, Retro Girl  was chip-chopping it up at Sneaker Con, a buy/ sell/ trade sneaker event in NYC.  The Nitrolicious contributor is known to rock a mean heel, but for this occasion she pulled out her Rainbow JS Wings.

Well done comrade... Well. Done.

IT'S ALMOST HERE

SEX AND THE CITY 2



While my extended absentance has left many things to catch up on, it is undeniable the most pertinent thing to discuss is the looming release of The Sex and the City Movie Sequel. It's everywhere! Buses covered with the movie stills, the news is counting down it's release and department stores are pushing promotions. The A-list premiere in NY was last night. She is has a touching review of the amostphere and the movie. The Film will be released nationally this Thursday, May 27th, but I think I'm going to hold out until my birthday June 1st [mark it on your calender], to sit and luxuriate in the fabulousity of it all.


Like I commented after viewing the trailer, Samantha's gear has me the most excited. Her zany yet provocative style seems to have reached a new level haute individualism.  I hope all her good looks weren't waisted in the previews! I'm in love with the Chanel cap with the head cape she is wearing in the above pics. Plus the encrusted canteen on the hip. Only Samantha could find the proper occasion to pull off such a piece. Charlotte's outfit reads "I just paid too much for American Apparel pieces", so I'm going to move on... I'm feeling Carrie's head wrap with the sash and then the gauzey shirt over the white draped evening gown. Total modern twist on the iconic middle eastern silhouette, but I need to see the feet to know if I love the look for sure. I'm actually also feeling Miranda's ensemble, sometimes Pat Field does Miranda dirty on the style tip [but the style snags totally fit Miranda's character]. What really sets M-Daddy's outfit off: That orange cape- so ridiculous it's right.

VICTORY INTRO

So far, my favorite tracks from the DJ Khaled's new album Victory are "All I Do is Win" and... the Intro, it's really inspiring...

HD NAILS

Although it's always in style in Asia, the 3-D nail art trend has recently resurfaced in Music and Hollywood. I love it and if I had the time, would be all up in the nail salon getting one outlandish design after the next.






those are little children on her nails...
