NEW Kanye Download – Devil in a New Dress

Posted on September 4, 2010 by dopeambition

After Kanye’s guilt-driven hiatus (jump started because of his Taylor Swift moment-stealing, well, moment), he comes and hits us with some dope new material. In fact, being the over-achiever and over-compensator that he is, he said on twitter that he would drop a new song every Friday until his album drops; all this in addition to an alleged five-song album with Jay-Z titled “Watch the Throne.”  Now that is some Kanye I can deal with.

Get it in, Yeezy.

Women’s Nike Air Max 90 – White + Laser Pink

Posted on September 3, 2010 by dopeambition

I haven’t posted a pair of sneaks in awhile; with NYFW coming up, I’ve had my fancy caught up in editorials and FW coverage, however, I stumbled across these and could NOT pass up a post.

I’ve always loved the Nike Air Max 90 model, but this neutral colorway with a pop of laser pink is absolutely befitting of fall’s warm camel tones, with the navy swoosh as a dope finishing touch. Pair with nearly anything for a casual option this fall.

Pre-order a pair here.

More Miu Miu! – for Vogue Nippon October

Posted on September 3, 2010 by dopeambition

Miu Miu made the editorial rounds with their S/S 2010 collection, with everyone from Nylon to Vogue (over)using Miu Miu’s whimsical collection.

Now, the A/W collection already looks like it’s beginning to saturate the editorial world; I have seen multiple fall-inspired eds featuring Miucci Prada’s fantastic Miu Miu collection, with bold brights and crispy, youthful silhouettes.

Here is yet another feature, with François Nars stepping behind the lens (hence the hue-heavy makeup). Thoughts?

Have fun tonight, whatever you do, loves :)

Asos – A/W Lookbook

Posted on September 2, 2010 by dopeambition

Asos has really captured some of the season’s best looks in their easy and layer-worthy pieces for winter. The lookbook offers a subdued palette with fun extras in both textures (faux fur, fuzzy wool) and print (tribal, animal, stripes).

I can literally see myself in any and all of these ensembles, whether piece-by-piece or in full.

Hilary Rhoda Love

Posted on September 2, 2010 by dopeambition

Oh how I’ve missed this blue-eyed, tomboy beauty in the editorial world. Although she remains one of the faces of Lancome and has even scored a few spreads, she has otherwise seemingly disappeared from people’s minds. And I don’t understand why.

Here, she appears in Elle Canada, and even shows off one of my favorite collections and pieces of the season, Miu Miu’s mustard yellow ensemble which I practically drooled over upon sight.

I don’t get why she doesn’t get more work. I’ve heard the words “too classic” a few times, but is there such a thing? If so, surely Audrey Hepburn would be considered the same.

Either way. I love.

Wake Up and Smell the Flowers

Posted on September 2, 2010 by dopeambition

After a few days of utter chaos on the grad school front, I am finally able to take a deep breath as I gear up for a three-day weekend full of: reading, researching, and maybe, if I’m lucky, a ‘rita or two with a friend.

I’ve grown used to getting up at 6:30am now, although a 1pm caffeine headache usually ensues if I don’t get a cup in before class.

Le sigh.

Marc Jacobs + Lady Gaga Unite for V Magazine Cover

Posted on September 2, 2010 by dopeambition

Two of arguably the most innovative minds in the creative industry unite for a questionable cover for V Magazine‘s New York issue.

I am not the Gaga superfan many seem to be these days, but I’ll take an interview picking Marc Jacobs’s mind any day.

End of the Summer Mix(tape)
