Best Valentines Day Gift Ever! – Gabriel Urist

February 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Fuck flowers… or fuck roses (I’ll take orchids)… but no seriously all I wanted for Valentines day was something from one of my favorite jewelry designers… Gabriel Urist! I’ve been a huge fan for like three years now, and of course when I saw these about a year ago I knew they were made for me… so this V-day I texted/e-mailed my boyfriend for three days straight so that he couldn’t mess this up, and in fact… he delivered! I’m the happiest little gurlie in the world because I’ll be rocking my Wu-tang earrings during fashion week this season… leaving the CC’s at home ;)

Out of the top 10, the person with the most votes gets to be on the show! She is so close she can taste it and all she needs is for everyone to click some shit and effing vote! There are literally 3 days left until she finds out who makes it to the show, please take two seconds out of your day and VOTE FOR LINA!!!!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta

November 16, 2008 · Leave a Comment

By far one of the best ideas ever… Real Housewives of Atlanta = Badass bitches with money! Me and the bff watched a marathon today on Bravo and we cannot wait for the season finale on Tuesday!!! Acouple things I want to say…

- Is drinking and driving in Atlanta legal? Because if I’m not mistaken I’m constantly seeing those bitches getting drunk ass off their wine and driven… not to mention Kim completely sitting in her car with a glass of wine? WTF? 

-Nene and all of her drama kinda makes the show, so I don’t know what we would do without it, I love her gay lover stylist by the way, he’s fierce.

-Deshawn seems like the nicest lady ever she always has a big ass smile on her face like she’s just bringing good to everyone around her and I would totally want to be her friend.

- Lisa is sexy, I want her husband and her baby, they are the cutest family ever and I’m totally jealous!!!

- Kim you cannot be a singer, I am sorry, I couldn’t even watch the TV when you were singing because I was so embarrassed for you!!! Why did Dallas Austin even agree to be on the show!?? that’s embarrassing! We googled the whole Big Papa thing and read all the predictions of who he is and shit… but seriously what a slut, once again I’m jealous because I wish I could be a slut and get escalades and diamonds and pretend to sing… but we all can’t just sell our selves like that I guess. And what’s up with her hair? is it a wig? I don’t get it….

- Sheree kind of annoys me sometimes because her and Kim’s whole relationship is super fake! Me and my best friends do NOT go out to lunch telling each other how “stupid beautiful” we are, I told my girl just the other day her ass was fat… haha seriously real bitches speak the truth and please you would totally tell your friend that she needs to NOT embarrass herself singing! Her whole fashion thing…. WACK! At least Nene tells the effing truth!

Bottom line I love this show and I cannot wait for the season finale! I’m also kinda looking forward to the new Real Housewives of OC because that shit looks like it’s gonna be good….

Obsessed With – Lykke Li

October 27, 2008 · Leave a Comment

A friend of mine recently introduced me to the musical stylings of Lykke Li and after seeing her perform live at The Bowery Ballroom I am officially obsessed. She totally blew me away live, her voice is so fun and different and her CD Youth Novels is getting me through some rough times right now.

If you haven’t yet check out her CD… some of my favorite songs are, “I’m Good, I’m Gone”, “Let It Fall”, “Tonight”, “Breaking It Up”, and “Little Bit”…

I LOVE ‘Mandate of Heaven’ Clothing!!!

October 27, 2008 · 1 Comment

I don’t know why I haven’t blogged about this forever ago, but straight out of Brooklyn, New York comes one of the hottest young designers. As explained on their website ” ‘Mandate of Heaven’ is a collection of one of a kind designs produced by hand in New York City. With the exception of bespoke denim, all of the pieces are created partially or completely with recycled and/or vintage materials.”

Upon moving to NYC me and my best friend first came across the one of a kind brand in 2005 while shopping at Patricia Field. This consists of me picking out everything in the store that I want to see her in and then buying our favorites! We were looking for a great party outfit. Once she tried on one Mandate piece she ended up buying three, with my help and pressure of course! Too cute to let anyone else wear them!

Since then we’ve made several trips to the Brooklyn flagship/studio. The designer herself is always there and she’s very nice and helpful. The store has recently moved but it’s a great little space filled with the one of a kind pieces hanging all over the teal walls. I always make my friends try on everything in the store and we never leave without making a purchase. Recently I got my very first dress and I’m in love with it!

Pieces range from dresses, play suits, custom jeans, and lots of suprises! I love them for their open backs, tool cupcake skirts, and all around cuteness!  The pieces are all one of a kind and are given a general size from extra small to larger but most run on the small side. The pricing varies most of the dresses purchased by friends have run $250+ but head to the store or contact them for direct pricing. Believe me they are worth every penny! It’s like one of a kind vintage brooklyn couture! FABULOUS!

THE NEW STORE IS AT 406 LORIMER ST. (@ Stagg) 3rd Fl.
Only open during official hours:
Tues. 3pm-7:30pm
Thur. 4pm-8:30pm
Fri. 4pm-9:30pm
Sat. 1pm-6pm

The official MANDATE OF HEAVEN website is here!
