new year.

I just cannot believe that this year has gone by and will be over soon. Well, I couldn't fathom it until the release of January 2010 magazines were released.

Here are some of the 2010 Covers.

Tavi - Rodarte for Target

The level of designers who have joined forces with Target to bring high fashion to the masses continues to increase.
From Luella, Alexander McQueen, to Zac Posen and now to the lovely duo, Rodarte.

I am a fan of the sisters work. Their movie inspiration and beautiful and intricate knit work sets them apart from many designers.

Tavi, other wise known as the "Style Rookie" released a video introducing the Rodarte for Target pieces as well as commentary for many fashion editors as well as the designers for Rodarte.

50 Cent- Do You Think About Me

I love the cameos from the women in the video, Tahiry, Tamala and Vivica. Is it me, or is it a bit hilarious to watch Vivica play the crazy ex to 50 (referring to their previous relationships)

Timbaland featuring Drake -Say Something

"Whats a star when his most important fan is missing?"

I love this song, the video is real nice. I love how it captured the concept of the song perfectly. Shock Value, I'm loving it. 

The Shock Value videos are real interesting, Here is the video for Timbaland featuring So Shy and Nelly F. - Morning After Dark

I guess the latest obsession with Vampires played a huge part on the video. 


Kid Cudi featuring MGMT and Ratatat - Pursuit of Happiness 

This video is amazing. point blank, I love it! 


Young Money featuring Lloyd - Bedrock

This video has this Real World feel which I like. Styling, eh. Song is cool. 

Chanel

It's pre fall collection time and Karl Lagerfeld went back to the classic feel for the Chanel show in Shanghai.  Karl Lagerfeld told WWD in regards to his trip to Shanghai“It is about the idea of China, not the reality...It has the spirit of, and is inspired by, but is unrelated to China. It is not authentic like a Peking Opera or something.”

"You see, everyone in the whole world can wear Chanel" -- Coco Chanel




. “Coco Chanel never came to China, so they imagine the trip she never made, a fantasy of her coming to Shanghai in the Thirties and Forties and during the Cultural Revolution,” said Lagerfeld. “Shanghai has a very special reputation, very different from other Chinese cities.”

model crush: Emily Didonato

I had this picture as my blog banner, the cover of Block Magazine a month or two ago and I completely fell in love with the model after seeing more of her.

The lovely model's name is Emily Didonato, she is a new comer in the modeling agency but just within two short years she has signed on to major campaigns.  She is signed with Request models in New York and Marilyn Agency in Paris.

Here is the editorial shoot from Block Magazine.
