What's In YOUR Wallet?

There have been a few blog posts the last few days about wallets being released this Fall with embossed diamond prints...None of those wallets are even half as ill as the wallet being released by Diamond Supply Co. this holiday season...The black Diamond Supply Co. embossed leather billfold is ill...Its subtly exudes maturity unlike the other crayon colored wallet and the red inside stripe adds just the right amount of color to keep it from being boring...It will also be available with a Tiffany inside stripe...

Vivienne Westwood X Victorinox Penknife...

I was blogging around the other night and saw this Vivienne Westwood x Victorinox Penknife collabo and decided I have to have it. It's the perfect twist of fashionista and bad girl just like I like to think I am...It's green (which is my favorite color) and then I studied the graphics closer...Someone tell me if I'm wrong but I think those are dongs on that knife... RIGHT!? Now I want it even more...

01 The One Women's Binary Fashion Watch

With over 10 posts solely about watches, it's fair to say we all know I LOVE them... This one caught my eye just because it was so ill...I have no clue who 01 The One is and I have no clue how to tell time with this watch...There's some sort of binary code to figure out I guess...None of that matters anyway 'cuz it's not like I ever pay attention to the time anyway...Think I'm gonna hafta cop this tho...It'll look ill in the club...

ish...

- This beach chair caught my eye earlier this summer but at $50 a chair I didn't feel like breaking bread (I can be real cheap sometimes)...$25 a chair seems much more reasonable though...

- One of my favorite sites Notcot wrote an article about a new mag called Elemente...What really caught my eye is the article on that Puma bag I was talking about a few posts ago...The article on the OXO product also sparked my attention...Makes me wanna go to the news stand and hunt down the mag...

WTF?!

Reef Stash Sandals...They serious about this huh? I do understand when you're on the beach and you have no pockets but to be real...tie that key around the string of your boardshorts like we've been doing for years and donate that change to the bum standing next to the lemonade stand where you just got that change (what bum? there's always bum at the beach)...I'll tell you one thing if I did get these flip flops my 'stash' would definitely not consist of keys and some change...

ish...

- Beyonce has been rockin' that LV Tribute Bag I was so against...Crazy thing is... She's making me eat my words...That bag is pretty ill I will admit...

- Speaking of Beyonce...I'm happy I'm not the only one who get's annoyed by her...I was beginning to think something was wrong with me since I don't love her like every other human being...

- Bourjois just introduced a mascara cell phone charm like the lip gloss charm I love so much...Thank da lawd I have 3 cell phones...Where else would I put all my charms?

- Here we go again... Every 6 months there's a new city that tries to cite peeps for saggin'...If this isn't the signs of a police state... I dunno what is...

- I shoulda named this post the Beyonce edition...Class ring maker Josten's has teamed with the House of Dereon to create House of Dereon class rings...Lawd that's just what every teenager needs...A reminder in 30 years that they were stupid enough to worship Beyonce like all the other easily persuaded Americans...

- So Barry Bonds thinks Mark Echo is an 'idiot'...I'm sho he's not the only one...

Oh Wheely?

Check out this ill shoe wheel I saw over at Fashionista. It will hold up to 30 pairs of men's or women's shoes and for only $65 it's not really that expensive...I think this shoe wheel is a good idea but it seems like it might take up too much space...Yeah it holds 30 pairs but at a width of 13" it's wider than normal shoe boxes that you can stack on top of each other and shove against the wall which you probably can't do with this...I'm sure you need a lil more space than 13" so you can spin the thing around and find your 'kicks...I dunno...I guess maybe if you only have around 30 pairs of shoes and can fit them all in this one contraption then it's OK but I think I'll stick to my Ikea IVAR system that I can continue to expand to fit my ever expanding shoe collection...

ish...

Paris Hilton launched Rich Prosecco...This girl will put her face on about anything... I guess there's a market for champagne in a can...Altho I think Sofia conquered this market a few years ago and between them and the mini Moet...I don't really think we need another portable champagne...

Why do I have this bowl?!!! The one I have cost about $25...My boss picked it up in Amish Country!!!! Wonder if they know someone bit their ancient art of bowl making...Probably not...That's what happens when you shun technology...Peeps take yo ideas and start charging $75 for them...

Since when can an airline ask you to get off a flight for wearing revealing clothing? This 'fit ain't even THAT revealing! If it was me I'd sue too...

It was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to download free ringtones on the new iPhone...follow this link before they make them take it down! LOL!

Forbes also has info about unlocking the phone so you can use it with other carriers besides AT&T... Good ish...

NEW iPOD!!!!!

The new iPod is being released in a few weeks and YES it's like the iPhone..."the same size screen as the iPhone, but it's even thinner", "same multi-touch interface"...It also has WiFi so you can check the net...Comes in 8GB and 16GB and will be priced at $299 and $399...Now THIS is good ish...

My Lip Gloss is Cool...My Lip Gloss be Poppin'...

I have a thing for cell phone charms but I've never thought about the fact that maybe they can actually be useful...I've always assumed them to be useless trinkets with the sole purpose of making me smile (I guess making me smile is a useful thing tho)...Well these cell phone charms not only make me smile, they also enhance my smile...Only available at Sephora, these mini version of Bourjois' best-selling lip gloss, Effet 3D, will make sure that every time you leave the house your lipgloss won't be too far behind...

Cereal 101

I love cereal...I didn't get to eat it as a kid because my mom hardly ever fed us processed food...She cooked breakfast for me every day all the way through high school...As soon as I was on my own, my love for sugary cereal blossomed...Now I take my cereal very seriously...Being that I'm the only one eating out the box I never finish the box before it starts to get soggy so as soon as I open a box of cereal I put the entire bag inside a ziploc freezer bag and put it back inside the box...This way I can ensure my cereal will never be stale when I reach for it AND it even allows me to have two different boxes open at once so I can have some variety...You can imagine how happy I was when I found this gadget 'The Box Topper Lid' from Buddeez.com...

It fits most cereal boxes, holds the liner bag open inside and keeps cereal fresh...

The other problem I have with cereal is that it's really hard to eat it once you've left the house...You can buy those individual cereal bowls and a small carton of milk at the convienence store (which is what I usually do if I want to eat cereal at work) OR you can use this Portable Cereal Bowl I found over at dormbuys.com...

It keeps your milk cold and separate from your cereal. The milk stays cold by keeping the gel filled cup frozen and it even comes with a portable spoon...I like it because I can put any kind of cereal in it like my Kashi Go Lean so I can eat it on the run even though they don't make it in individual serving size... Seriously I love when gadgets make my life easier and both are under $5 which is good ish 'cuz breakfast really is the most important meal of the day...

Spinning Monkeys And Gangsters...Oh My!

I've always been into phone charms...Best believe when I shelled out $600 back in '03 for the Baby Phat i95 I had to decorate it and make sure everyone knew mine was different...Most people just ended up thinking it belonged to a teenage Asian girl due to the plethora of Hello Kitty charms dangling from it and the fact that back in '03 the phone charm craze hadn't completely caught on in the States even tho it was all the rage in Japan...

Since '03 phone charms have evolved into a whole new product...My 'kick is now decorated with felt Murakami charms, metal and ceramic Hello Kitty charms, a huge plastic Corpse Bride and a multitude of other Hello Kitty charms my good friend whateyesaygoes picked up for me while he was in Japan...Let's just say I really don't need anything else dangling from my phone...Then I saw these Mopods... They spin and flash when your cell receives a call or text...Now that's something none of my other phone charms do no matter how cute they are...They come in about 8 different characters (I'll mos def be buying the monkey) but if you really do some Googling you'll find some real interesting, hard-to-find ones...Like the gangster pictured below...

Hoodiez Toy Release

If you're looking for something chill to do this weekend there's a toy release going down for Hoodiez Toyz at Meltdown Comics...They were designed by Carl Jones who is/was (I'm not sure which) the producer and illustrator of The Boondocks (aww I miss The Boondocks)... Signing 2-6PM...Mixer until 10PM...Should be good ish...

Tokidoki X Toy2R Collabo

So we all know how I LOVE Tokidoki AND collabos! Here's another one between Tokidoki and Toy2R ...They have produced a limited edition 8-inch Red Bear Qee. Only 300 of the figures are available...Freshness Mag has all the details...

On another note...check out my Tokidoki screensaver my bro put on my 'kick about a week ago...I LOVE IT!!!

Mr. Cartoon Toy Signing

In conjunction with the release of the Mr. Cartoon action figure Meltdown Comics is doing a signing...Man I remember when I 1st heard about Cartoon...couple of my boys know him...I never in a million years woulda thunk all this was go'n go down...That's why his whole situation is good shit...

Support the Arts...Support The Lost Angel...Support the LA lifestyle...

Mix and Record Music Directly on your iPod?

Even tho I personally don't spit or produce I've spent a lil time in the studio sittin' around smokin' L's and hangin with the guys (I'm a tomboy...not a groupie)...Anyway I saw this mixer/recorder and I thought it was ingenius...Being of the slightly older generation I've seen how technology is affecting mixing, producing and just all aspects of rap...so it seemed like this was probably the next logically step...

Belkin’s TuneStudio for iPod 5th generation (video) is the first four-channel audio mixer that lets you create high-quality digital recordings directly onto your iPod. This mixer allows the input of up to four different instruments or audio sources, and records the audio onto your iPod for instant playback.

TuneStudio is compact, portable, and tough enough to withstand life in a rehearsal room or in a garage. Bands can easily attach instruments and microphones to TuneStudio and record jam sessions directly onto an iPod. Podcasters can also use this device to record their shows either in a studio or on location.

Anyway...I just thought it was a cool lil gadget...I'm on a techo/gadget kick right now...This drops Summer 2007 and it's going to retail for about $180...

Dwayne Wade Sidekick 3

Word on the streets is there is about to be a new Sidekick 3 release...No fashion designers this time around...This collabo is with Dwayne Wade who apparently is an avid Sidekick user... He helped design this model and it's supposed to include“realistic basketball-textured backing for added comfort and grip”. The number 3 is also higlighted as it's his number and the number of the 'kick...Not sure when it's going to be released...
