A couple of weeks ago I went to check out Nine West’s 30th Anniversary Spring 2009 Collection Preview which included footwear, handbags and jewelry. The collection is very extensive ranging from sandals, wedges, pumps, flats, handbags, clutches, sunglasses, hats and jewelry. I was amazed at how many products were offered for Spring 2009, I normally don’t realize there’s such a broad range since only a select number of products get released in stores and online at a time. Seeing the whole collection at once in person was a bit overwhelming but it was definitely eye candy- there are so many products that I like! There’s a bunch of candy colored footwear with matching handbags, hats and sunglasses that will be released, I felt like a kid walking into a candy store- so much to choose from! Gladiator sandals are still strong for Nine West and lots of straw fedoras are being offered in a variety of colorways. There’s also a line of shoes with a retro vibe- big polka dots and swirly prints on shoes and bags, pretty cute. I never used to pay attention to their handbags and accessories but after seeing them in person I got a better feel for them. Their handbags are actually pretty cute and definitely on the affordable side, I have my eyes on a few of them as well. Lots of metallics, patent leather, big rhinestones and also stripes throughout the whole collection. This year mark’s the 30th Anniversary of Nine West, after 30 years and still standing strong- that means there’s still many more years to come! The Spring 2009 collection starts to release in January 2009, keep an eye out for them! > Nine West 30th Anniversary Spring 2009 Collection – Part 2 More pics after the jump…(total of 4 pages)
*I APPRECIATE THE LUV FROM YOUR SITE, BUT PLEASE REFRAIN FROM COPYING THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW/IMAGES TO YOUR SITE/BLOG. A LINKBACK TO THE INTERVIEW IS GREATLY APPRECIATED IF YOU’RE USING MY INFO. THANKS.* I first met Dee and Ricky when I went on the Camp Beverly Hills “Class Trip” in Vegas for Magic back in February. They are an eclectically colorful and high-energy set of twins and two-thirds of the rap and dance group Jackson Swinton. The Twins, as they are known throughout the downtown scene, have garnered the attention and affection of the fashion and music communities with their unparalleled style and energy. They have appeared in fashion spreads and advertisements in the world’s most influential style magazines. They have had their portrait painted by renowned fine artist Kehinde Wiley and have popped up in advertising campaigns for Puma, Nike, Supreme, and A New York Thing, as well as in editorials for Teen Vogue, The New York Post and Paper Magazine. Recently, the Twins’ accessories – belts and brooches by Dee and Ricky- were commissioned by renowned fashion designer Marc Jacobs for his New York Fashion WeekSpring 2008 rtwrunway show. It’s been a good few months working on this interview with The Twins and they’re the first males to be featured on nitro:licious, that makes them extra special- I just love their accessories so much I had to! They’ve talked with me about their rising cult fame and the release of their first EP on Business Class Records. Here’s your chance to get a better understanding of them. Big thanks to Matt Goias, Pam Bristow and Phillip Leeds for all the help. Read the interview after the jump…
This past Wednesday, July 23, I along with Molly (WWD), Federico (NYT) and Ellen (Allure) were invited to the Coty Research & Development Facility in NJ to explore the labs and learn about how they operate. We also got hands on with making our own nail polishes and lip glosses! It was definitely and eye opener and very valuable experience, not everyone has the privilege to tour the facility and diy your own makeup. I am honored to be selected to be part of this group along with the big guns, it’s definitely a memorable event. A big thank you to everyone at Coty and FH! Full view of the R&D facility and secrets to come, stay tuned! *Me in a lab coat and goggles in the nail lab choosing the color I want to make. Do I look like a a technician haha?!

Last month I was approached by Longchamp to write a chronicle for their “Follow the Trend” board in which if my chronicle was to be selected it will be featured on their website. This morning I was advised that my “Roaring Gotham” chronicle in the theme of Les Années Folles was chosen and is officially live on their site I was super ecstatic! This article was a team effort with my amazing writer Tom Bradley, thanks for all your help! I’m still smiling at the moment 
Note: Sorry about the horrible audio, it got even worst after I’ve uploaded it on YouTube but I try to get it fixed so you guys can hear what they’re saying haha. I’ll update this post when I get a chance to get the audio fixed up a bit. At least you get to see them in action right? hahah Finally had a chance to upload the video and pictures of Vanessa and Angela Simmons at Magic talking Pastry with nitro:licious. I actually wasn’t expecting to shoot a video, thanks to YM at Freshness for whipping out his digicam and filming my little chat with the brains behind the successful Pastry brand. The Simmons sisters were very down to earth and sweet, they took some time out of their busy schedule to update nitro:licious readers about Pastry and showed off their new collection. Lots of new kicks, handbags and clothing will be released – check out the exclusive sneak peek of their new kicks and handbags. Also check out what Vanessa is rocking, they’re all from the Pastry Clothing collection, cute huh?
