ACCESSORIES: Growing Jewelry Collection by Hafsteinn Juliusson
Growing Jewelry Grass Knuckle Ring
This is a very cool idea, much respect for Hafsteinn Juliusson for concept and design of Growing Jewelry. The collection of rings contain real icelandic moss and Hafsteinn suggest “it is important to take good care of Growing Jewelry. The owner must water it regularly and nurture it like any other plant. So It’s up to the owner to make sure that the jewelery is at it’s best.” Read the rest of this entry »

These leather gloves are made of soft leather and is attached to a long jersey knit sleeve. They were available at OAK, but it is sold out now, but lucky for New Yorkers, she has a store, find out where. I also linked a dope interview with her by NYMAG.

ADVERTISING: Durex 30 Second Horny Balloons TV Spot
I went to school for Art & Advertising, not many know this(now you do), and that is one of the reason I’m going to start incorporating cool tv spots into my blog.
I found this DUREX condom ad while surfing the net (no I wasn’t looking for porn, if you don’t believe me, see source below video). I thought it was pure genius and love how it told a 30 second story that reinforces the brand, builds buzz, and is hella funny. Guys can dig it and girls won’t be as offended, because the balloons are cute. Anyhow, check out the ad and let me know what you think. Read the rest of this entry »

Artwork by William Yan 
Ok so Diddy changed his name a few times… and ODB from the WU did as well, but now Kanye West is following their footsteps by changing his nick name! The artist released a vimeo during his visit to Paris (or Pareee, he would like to say). After his LouYeezy’s hit the runway, everyone thought he would talk about his new collabo with the major fashion powerhouse Louis Vuitton but proved us all wrong! Instead, the self proclaimed, “Louis Vuitton Don” decided to change his nick name to “Martin Louis the King, JR”. Talk about an ode to MLK Jr. & LV! Only Mr. West can pull this off!
