FRANCESCO SCOGNAMIGLIO

This shit is fuh-ly! i wouldn't wear it outside (lol) But it would damn sure be dope in a shoot or video.

This is like Queen of the Atlantic in my underwater palace bout to blow some ish up!

The white sleeves and side detailing...The belt....oh my

Omg classic black and white so beautifully modern...futuristic even

The sheer got me. Did it EVEr just catch me

Doooopeneeeessss! That's all I can say. I'm not for the fishnets with everyone of these outfits, but the idea is nice and the clothes *faints*...*gets up*...Mr. Scognamiglio def did his thing

Aquilano.Rimondi

I just had to post these two dresses cuz the purple fabric that they used took my breath away. It's so silky, and deep, and royal. I love it. There was lots of shiny stuff...gold and such.They also used a lot of ruffles. Next season I'm guessing...Volume Is Key...not that I f'in care. lol

MILAN FASHION WEEK

I would so rock this to the club. Dope.

Something about the mix of these two patterns did me in. Love it.

The black lace on denim look is serious.

This dress so little and flirty and fun. lol

Continuing with the Fashion week theme i was over at Style.com going thru the shows and D&G caught my eye so I decided to post a few things from them. DSquared was a lot of fun too (check them out here http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2010RTW-DSQUARE) Go over to http://www.style.com/ They definitely have all the goods

BFW cont.

So I decided that since it's a recession I'm only posting things that are free or really cheap. lol. Us Recessionistas have enough to worry about, right? I'll put things that are a little more pricey up if I feel that they have the potential to be super dope. I hope you find something to love! Sorry, but this post is going to be pretty long. i went over to the Boston Fashion Week Official Site and found a bunch of stuff and kind of got overly excited about it all. They went above and beyond and listed both pre and post Fashion Week events. Let me know what you're doing for the week!

FASHION SHOW

BOSTON FASHION WEEK

Boston Fashion Week is upon us, and well my dear friends, I'ma hip you to what's going on via everyone else in Boston. lol. I belong to so many sites, and email groups, and blogs it's not even funny. So I'm going to bring you all of my personal favs by way of all that stuff and hopefully you'll find something that you like too! These first few are a bunch of freebies cuz everyone likes something that they didn't have to pay for...especially if it's dope. Maybe we'll see each other, make sure you say hi :)

1.) Kickoff Drinks in the South End This humble after-work cocktail hour goes full-on Fashion Week with free food, signature drinks (like the bourbon-heavy Let's-Bee-Frank), and plenty of giveaways. Those are mostly women's wear, so you'll want to bring a date—or find your next one from the guest list's bevy of socialites and models.
411:No cost, 5-7pm, Sept 25, at The Beehive, 541 Tremont St, 617-423-0069

2.) More Models and Mayhem at 33 For your evening's next stop, you prefer a place with models, loud music, and (if possible) a location that's close to the place you just left (i.e., the Beehive). Head to 33 Restaurant and Lounge Friday for just that, not to mention Passionfruit Bellinis and free hors d'oeuvres so good even a model might eat one.
411:No cost, 9pm-2am, Sept 25, at 33 Restaurant and Lounge, 33 Stanhope St, 617-572-3311

3.) Hotel Party With Alan Rouleau Legendary Boston menswear designer Alan Rouleau is throwing a party at the Intercontinental Hotel to introduce his foray into women's couture, but we're more interested in the sampling of Cold River Vodkas, the array of Tuscan wines from Sensi, and the beautiful women slated to be in attendance. We figured you would be too.
411:No Cost, 6-9pm, Sept 29, Intercontinental Boston, 510 Atlantic Ave, 617-217-5030
UD HOOKUP: Mention @urbandaddy on Twitter explaining why you and a plus-one should get an invite. We will direct-message the first two respondents, so make sure you follow us, too.

COLLEGE NIGHT AT URBAN OUTFITTERS

I have been SOOOO terrible at keeping up with this thing lately cuz I've been so extraordinarily busy, but hopefully this will make up for it. lol

DKNY SPRING 2010 RTW

This jacket...*eyes close, head bowed*

I don't think that I'd wear all of this together, but it looks nice on the runway and that jacket is dope.
So simple, fresh, clean, and beautiful

Straight boss bitch shit. lol

VICTORIA BECKHAM

I love this chick. For some reason everyone in her native country seems to hate her. lol. Her line leaves much to be desired but I think she's headed down the right path. Much luck to her future.


This dress is RIDICULOUS! The cut out, the extreme fit, the shoulders...wow. I love it.


This is sum straight diva shit if I ever saw any. This is something I would rock when I need to say I'm classy, I'm sexy, and I'm the boss, bitch. lol

MARC JACOBS SPRING 2010 RTW

This dress is so fly. It looks like he sketched it onto her body.

The volume on this top is FANTASTIC!!!

I LOVE super short stuff just cuz being naked is fun to me. The length of this is perfect and the ruffles are an added plus.

This look...omg...That jacket...the pinstripes, the ruffles, and the belt make this a masterpiece

This look is so simple yet so over the top. Every component is simple and understated yet super fly from the top to the flats.

IN HONOR OF FASHION WEEK(S)

In honor of the Fashion Week(s) coming up I've decided to just dedicate this entire week to everything that I find dope. Maybe you'll find it useless, but I like looking thru things my friends like/enjoy cuz you never know what fantasticness you will find or what might inspire you. You might write a poem. Some dress might bring back some long forgotten memory that will make you go on a random journey. You might find something new that you like too. Who knows? Anywho, this pic is what inspired me to do this. My sisters and cousins LOVE putting random ass shit in their hair, and while I love trying new styles, some borderline over the edge, I don't experiment with color much. I just like my natural hair color I guess. Anyways, If I were going to try color, I think I'd do something like this (not the blond...def not the blond). I think her hair is dope. What do you think?

JOKE

More on BFNO...

Just learned that Luna Boston will also be participating in Boston's Fashion's Night Out. There will be drinks, dim sum, and special deals from 6pm-9pm. Their site states that the party could go on longer if it's poppin enough. lol. Well they didn't say poppin...but u kno what I mean...Anywho, they'll also have Texas native, BU Grad, and Boston fashion world hotshot Sam Mendoza in the building showing off some of his lovely dresses and mingling with all of you equally lovely fashionistas. Luna is located at 205 Newbury. I just realized I never told you where SooDee is...they actually have two locations one at 293 Newbury and the other at 170. Anyone that attends any events Thursday night, PLEASE tell me about them :(. I'll have to live through you to savor the spectacular moments (meaning sale prices and I-can't-believe-I-never-saw-this-before gear) that I'm sure will happen. I know that I won't be there, but trust me, my imagination is WILD and I can use ur story to insert myself and be almost as happy as if I were. Kisses.

BOSTON'S FASHION'S NIGHT OUT

I've been talkin trash about Boston not having a Fashion's Night Out since I first heard about everyone else's. Turns out we will be having one as well. The shit just isn't advertised nearly as well as the others. Along with the rest of the world the festivities will take place Thursday September 10th. I found this out by stalking SooDee which is the name of two cute lil boutiques over on Newbury. They will be open til 11pm Thursday night and they'll be serving refreshments and sushi. College students get 15% off all night. I'll look around to find out what else is going on for you guys, but seeing as though I'll be working all day then in class til 8:30 I most likely will be too out of sorts to participate :(. I'm very sad about this, but what's a girl to do? This week is so super hectic for me that I'm even considering not doing anything this weekend. Literally. Like sitting in my house sleeping and maybe doing some homework. So not Shaunie like, but I'm guna have to get used to my new schedule before I can return to my normal over the top ways. Anywho, I'll look into BFNO and update you asap on where you can go shop til you drop :) Have sum fun for meeeeee!

Footwear Lusts of The Moment...2

Idk but I DAMN sure wish that I did cuz they're HOT...any help?


Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain


Giuseppe Zanotti


Gianni Barbato


Balenciaga (I don't normally do white kicks but I'd def rock those)


......What can I say...I'm a girl...I like shoes.

WILDERNESS

From Top: Completely wild, some chain link jump offs that are RIDICULOUS, Some Alexander McQueen beauties that would look right at home in a W spread

Here are a few shoes that I couldn't necessarily wear in every day life, but if a photoshoot opportunity came about and these were available I'd def pose for the camera in em. lol. Some of these I wouldn't even wear then...but I have to give them props for capturing my attention.

New Store Alert!

Vintage Revenge, relocated from MT to MA, 1105 Mass Ave...will update soon
