No Letting Go...

 "Got somebody
She's a beauty...
Very special
Really and truly...
Takes good care of me
Like it's her duty...
Want you right by my side
Night and day...
No letting go no holding back
Because you are my lady...
When I'm with you
It's all of that
All a that yeah yeah yeah...
Really appreciate you loving me
After all that we've been through...
Really appreciate you loving me
All times...

Sure Thing...

"If you be the cash...I'll be the rubberband
You be the match...Imma be your fuse
BOOM
Painter baby...You can be the muse
I'm the reporter baby...You can be the news
Cause you're the cigarette...And I'm the smoker
We raise a bet...Cause you're the joker
Truth though
You are the chalk...And I can be the blackboard
You can be the talk...And I can be the walk
Even when the sky comes falling
Even when the sun don't shine
I got faith in you and I
So put your pretty little hand in mine
Even when I'm down to the wire baby
Even when it's do or die
We can do it baby SIMPLE and PLAIN
Cause this love is a sure thing
You can bet that...Never gotta sweat that..."

                       

Today's look is definitely simple, but there's nothing plain about it. The dress is brand new from ISON, and Harry was kind enough to drop me a copy on Monday. I apologize for the delay in blogging, but RL has been hectic this week and I'm just getting back on track...but I digress. The dress is sophisticated and polished; the cut outs under the bustline make it special and unique, and the color is probably my favorite shade of green. It's also being made in red, white and black I believe, (is that right Harry?) but this one is available now at TFG. Also available there is this GORGEOUS Satchel by LaBlaQ. It's vintage and on-trend at the same time, and the buckle details and texturing make it a stand-out piece. I kept the accessories to a minimum to let the stars of the show shine; some simple jewelry and one of my favorite shoulder trench's finish the look, because sometimes less is indeed more...

Stronger...

"Let's get lost tonight
You can be my black Kate Moss tonight
Play secretary I'm the boss tonight
And you don't give a f*ck
What they all say right?
Awesome the Christian
In Christian Dior CHANTKARE
Damn they don't make em' like this anymore
I ask cause I'm not sure:
Do anybody make REAL sh*t anymore...?"

                              

I've stated on numerous occasions, that I'm not a particularly trendy person. I'm a woman that values STAPLE pieces; garments that will look just as relevant and fresh today as they will several years from now. In my heart of hearts, I believe Applonia Criss of CHANTKARE to be the same way. Everything she produces has a classic refinement to it; her work is polished and quite possibly most importantly: CONSISTENT. She isn't trying to "keep up with the Jones'," she is one of the undisputed leaders of the SL fashion pack. Her work is always painfully flawless, and while her spring collection is full of amazing looks, this jacket from her "BERGMAN" ensemble is the stand-out. Made in a haunting steel grey shade; the power shoulders and tied waist add structure while the slightly flared hem at the hip provide a feminine twist. You'll dress this up with the sculpted skirt she includes with the look, but you'll also dress it down with a smart pair of shorts or even jeans. If you buy NOTHING else this season, you MUST invest in "BERGMAN." While there are many other great pieces available from other fashion houses right now, it's my humble, unsolicited opinion that Chantkare is simply STRONGER...

Uptown Girl...

"I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday, when my ship comes in
She'll understand the kind of guy I've been...
And when she's walkin'
She's lookin' so fine
And when she's talkin'
She'll say she's all mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because I'm in love
With an Uptown Girl..."

London Calling...

"London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared & battles come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard all you boys & girls...
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it brother-you can go at it alone..."

"London Calling" by The Clash
