Sole Mates

Bare your "sole" with these great little Louboutin "Love" flats (available at www.net-a-porter.com). Quirky, yet romantic. These shoes make me smile.

September's finally here! And although the 80 degree weather may say otherwise, we are officially into the Fall season.

grace potter & the nocturnals.

Classic all-American rock'n'roll reminiscent of the 70's mixing it up with some modern girl edge. Ms. Grace Potter, a musical force who rocks it out on a Hammond B3 organ (among other instruments), fronts this Vermont-based blues/rock jam band. Her raspy, soulful voice rings clear and defiant. The band's toured with such rock'n'roll acts as Gov't Mule and The Black Crowes. And I'm just totally diggin their vibe. Trackin these guys for sure because from what I've seen, I'm guessing their pretty incredible live. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, ladies and gentlemen. Check'em out:

As if the strong shoulder jacket wasn't badass enough, Decarnin had to go and do it in quilted leather...with chain detailing. I mean, this jacket is incredible. Rock it casual for day with my favorites - white tank & distressed skinnies - or class it up at night with a sheer black blouse, a great pair of slim cropped trousers, & an insane pair of bright heels.

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die...

Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958-June 25, 2009)


MJ's the shit. Just can't mess with the guy. Often imitated, never duplicated-Michael Jackson is, and always will be, THE King of Pop. And to this day, no one even comes closing to nabbing the "Prince of Pop" title. Musically, one of the greatest innovators, fusing rock & soul into one incredibly distinct sound. His choreography was sexual and raw, but so smooth and so uniquely him. And don't get me started on his style. It was ALL about the details-from the infamous embellished glove, to the perfectly dipped fedora, the red motorcycle jacket, the motorcycle pants, the layers of belts...probably, hands down, one of the sickest closets to raid.

(To checkout MJ's insane wardrobe, click HERE .)

And then there's the countless good times I've had jammin' out to classic MJ. I remember spending every recess in 1st grade choreographing a dance routine to "Black or White". I remember watching the kids perfomring "Heal the World" during the Superbowl. Dance recitals. Freeing Willy. Shufflin' to the Jackson 5. Nearly two decades of rockin & movin with friends in the car-PYT, Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal, Thriller, The Way You Make Me Feel, They Don't Care About Us, Remember the Time...the list goes on and on, every single song sparking memory after memory.


MJ is legendary.

His soul will forever thrive through his music - music that has changed the world too greatly to ever die or be forgotten.
