SINCE WE FIRST LAYED EYES

This Super inked model's name is Jonathan Kroppmann.

He works for Red Models. I love his look.

He is edge.

He is mostly known for his work for Juicy Couture's launch of Dirty English

Recently he showed off his tattoos to William Lords.

I would love to work with Mr. Kroppmann.

Everything about him is just suitable for my shoot ideas.

THE JEWELRY MAKES THE HOUSE A HOME

Via:Nymag

Myself, well I love jewelry.

There has always been difficulty with finding something that is interesting to me though.

Eddie Borgo, creates some very edgy pieces.

Men's line due in Spring/Summer 2010

The best thing about this is the edgy look and the clean finish.

I predict an explosion of sales for him in the future.

KOKOS VERSE BOUTIQUE

I have so much love for the group at Verse.

Verse is a boutique in Chicago's Wicker park.

It is beautifully set up. It has a very industrial feel to the store.

The owner's name is Kortnee Doss(black tank on the right),

She is the most energetic and passionate person I have ever met.

She isn't just another bubbly store owner, she knows a great deal about fashion.

She worked as a buyer for a few movies and companies.

She means business.

Verse is a store ahead of the cities time.

The goal: to help set up the future of fashion is Chicago.

Verse is also becoming a great place for new Chicago talent.

Former students with incredible design skills are being show cased and sold right in the store.

Verse Chicago, 1821 West North, (773)486-4434

Stop by and check it out.

A sale at verse is a step in the right direction for Chicago fashion.

TREAT ME LIKE YOUR MOTHER

I love Chicago, My experience here has been so wicked!

My friend introduced me to an almost surreal experience.

They call themselves Bonnie and Clyde.

They Store reminded me of Dead Weather.

I loved every minute.

Bonnie and Clyde is a high-end boutiqe in Chicago.

Lord knows there isn't enough.

but thank goodness we have the few that are incredible.

IN UNI-SEX WE TRUST

The trend that is taking flight now is unisex clothing.

It makes sense to me, the economy and all.

Though the hard part about this is that the clothing produced has to be interesting.

It needs to have a way of being a real unisex piece not just some masculine on a girl.

(or feminine on a guy)

An outfit needs balance.

In walks Natalie Wood.

My friends over at Verse in Chicago turned me on to her.

Ms. Wood's clothing is unisex, though she always has female models.

Except in her buying guild for stores.

Majority of her clothing comes in Men's and Women's sizes.

My favorite piece to this date is her tailed sweater.

!It was INCREDIBLE!

I've been dying to get a tail coat but I cant ever find one that really suits me.

When I saw that beauty I was dumbfounded.

This line is worth checking out.

Something Else has a listing of all stores as well as phone numbers so you can call and see what they have in stock.

I suggest giving her a try.

STAYING AHEAD OF THE PACK

Prada Spring/Summer10

Just when it finally became okay for a guy to lug around a bag, they introduce the men's clutch.

I am very excited for it. Mainly because this offers relief to the expensive jean collector. Something I have always hated about being a jean lover is that I also have a card wallet, cellphone, and occasionally some cards and pens. These basics, unfortunately, provide wear on them.

I have always envied girls for having clutches because they are sleek accessories.

Clutches streamline, elegant design makes them more attractive than the bag.

Bags get in the way and because of the capacity possibilities they tend to be unorganized.

Though I would not suggest it for everyone, It is not an every day look.

It complements a high sense of sophistication, A well endowed confidence, and a mainstream idealist.

Marni Spring/Summer09

Salvatore Ferragamo Spring/Summer10

Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer10

Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer10

Personally I am more intrigued by the small, luxurious design of the Dolce & Gabbana.

I can't wait to get one.

MYKROMAG

is by far the most inspirational web zine I have ever laid my eyes upon.

It is not just inspiration of fashion, but of creativity as well.

They encourage you to stand out from the crowd and show your personality.

Their objective is not to show you what to do, or how to do it,

but inspire you to take that information and make it your own.

You are on a journey and they offer guidance.

There is no right or wrong.

There is only you.

Don't try to take the world and make it yours.

Take pieces to create your own.

undoubtably something to bragg about!
