It’s happened again. The brands that we grew up with are making there way back into our lives. Sure, some have still "been there" but perhaps not in the terms of "cool" or "chic". Sometimes it takes the popularity of a new brand to bring these brands back to the fashion-savvy-public-eye. And like the rise and frenzy caused by the RayBan Wayfarer, here we have Oakley teaming up with Supreme to create and yet another line-down-the-street-moment. They’re cute, I’d wear them (but if you know me, then you know I’d rather have the pair from back in the day. I am a vintage snob like that sometimes) and was ever so greatful that they weren’t the mirrored wrap style worn by the same men rocking those Zooba muscle-pants. Althought, I rock those pants today, so I can only imagine that it is only a matter of time that I will be adding wrap shades to my wardrobe. Although if you are truely cool, then you are reading this and thinking to yourself "um, I never stopped wearing Oakley. Where have you been?".

By special request, here is another natural , INEXPENSIVE way to attain a fresh and healthy complexion. This recipe for Sake Rose Toner was inspired by the luxury Japanese cult status skincare brand SKII, whose magical youth preserving key ingredient is sake. The story is that a Japanese monk visiting a sake brewery in Kobe noticed the brewery workers had true to age skin on their faces, but baby soft hands due to their constant contact with sake, and thus SKII was born.
After some experimentation of my own, I came up with this D.I.Y. version of a sake based toner costing a mere fraction of the SKII price, and that I call MKII. Sake, a natural astringent, tightens the pores, and rose petals scent and moisturize. And M.I.S.S. Liz loves this one too!

Every season adidas by Stella McCartney introduces a new cateogry, last week we got a sneak peak at the new Dance category for Fall ‘07. I dropped by the adidas for Stella McCartney fall preview last week and I almost wanted to try on all the gear. As always I wasn’t disappointed of what I saw, Stella McCartney never fails to be chic, even in performance gear. If I was to pick my favorite category in this collection, I’d have to say Wintersports. The outerwear, accessories and boots are so hot, I am def feelin’ all the pieces. The new Wintersport boots reminds me a lot of a previous seasons, if you missed out on those this is your chance to cop a similar pair (I think I might need an extra pair!). Also, if you luv skiing, the new Wintersport outerwear are all equipped with The RECCO Avalanche Rescue System , its a new technology they’ve introduced this season also. Breaking from her “traditional” colors, she added bright colored accents in subtle ways on zipper pulls, inner lining of outwear, tank tops, short shorts, etc. I LUV it, especially on the outerwear, it brings out the flava! One thing that I know all of you guys will dig because I DO is the heart shaped carabiner, but as stated on the carabiner itself, “NOT FOR CLIMBING”, they’re for looks only…sooo nice!
I luv how simple the clothes look but they’re very detailed and can be worked in many different ways. Tennis clothes can be very boring, but not for Stella McCartney, she switched it up and created scallop collars and edges to bring the feminine side of you out. As a strict vegetarian herself, Stella McCartney does not use fur or leather in her designs, going even further she introduced two Organic Cotton pieces to test the waters. The Fall ‘07 collection is set to release on August 10th at the adidas Performance stores. All in all, you will not be disappointed in her Fall collection, peep the preview at nitro:licious …
