I obviously took a LLLLOOONNNGGG pause from the blog for a minute, but for good reason. I’m back though… For Now It’s been awhile, and so much has transpired in that time. I certainly have lots to update the blog on. Some good, some great, and some straight out of this world(If you know me). I’m certainly going to share all. From getting a sleeve (Yes, a sleeve! to my own First Place up to my latest achievement, there’s more than enough news to go around. That all can wait, but am Uber excited about news I just can’t help but to share.

This past week I started interning at Bourgeoisie Shoetique in Harlem, an Upscale Shoes  & Accessories Boutique with an Incredible Selection of “Beautifully designed and well-crafted Designer shoes.” Carrying the likes of Guiseppe Zanotti, Casadei, Stuart Weitzman, and a European designers such as Pour La Victoire & Gianmarco Lorenz, Bourgeoisie Shoetique is definitely bringing a little bit of Downtown Uptown to Harlem. In just four days I’ve met some great people, especially owner Rashidah Ali, and even snagged a few enviable opportunities. Thus far have really enjoyed myself and totally look forward to things to come. Make sure to stop by Bourgeoisie Shoetique this coming weekend when we reopen, until then visit us on the web.

Nike Air Yeezy’s

So Mr. West is apparently serious about this designing business, first designing a line for Louis Vuitton and now Nike (Not necessarilary in the same order). If I’m not mistaken, 2 pair of the Air Yeezy’s have been released with one, presumably the last, to follow. I really like these ones, I probably wouldn’t wear them, but I’d definitely purchase. I liked the black & pink, but these ones are calling me. Expected release is the beginning of June, yet again, just in time for my Born day.

Socialite to Designer… Genevieve Jones

While looking for accessories to complete my birthday outfit, I came across some pieces I really liked. After some research I found that they belonged to the jewelry line of Genevieve Jones. If you’ve never heard of the young lady, you probably may have seen her on a red carpet or two, but if you scour the pages of Vogue as do I you probably have. Ms. Jones seems to be a staple on the socialite scene in New York City, and until coming across her line (which includes handbags as well). I had absolutely no idea what she was actually known for.

Regardless of her social status, Ms. Jones has some pretty nice pieces.For more on Genevieve Jones and/or her jewelry visit her website…

Alexander Wang for Gap

Was doing my morning rounds on WWD this morning and was excited to see that Alexander Wang will be designing a collaboration line for the Gap to hit stores this June, just in time for my birthday! (Hint, Hint) Lol, I’m loving all these things dropping around this time. I think these items would go just perfect with the Jimmy Choo Croc Hunter boots, what do you think ? I’ll go broke, but I’ll be cute! Here are a few pieces for the line, a few I like anyway. No word has hit in regards to the price range, but it is the Gap so I don’t think it should be THAT bad. The jacket shown below is said to be priced at $98.
