I know, I know MAGIC was 2 weeks ago but I just unpacked so leave me alone. One of the best parts of going to the show is the free stuff. We got so much great stuff and it’s always cool to see what new promo item companies come up with. This past show had a clear winner. The best promo of MAGIC this year goes to 10 Deep. Their promo was so well thought out and perfect for Vegas. It consisted of a black bag (that you could use as a laptop bag), a t-shirt and a “MAGIC survival kit” which included a lighter (to “wake and bake”), gum to keep your breathe fresh (speak freely), a toothbrush, sunglasses and a condom - all things that most people use at some point or another in Vegas.

This Saturday in SF, The Darkside Initiative is presenting the dunkxchange. If you like kicks you definitely will want to check this out. The event is from 1 to 6 and is for all ages.

Looks like Halle Berry is the latest celebrity to hop on the celebrity fragrance band wagon joining the likes of Paris, Kimora, Britney, Shania, Jennifer, Hillary, Sarah and Celine. I find it amazing that people can make really inappropriate hurtful remarks and still manage to have people wanting to smell like them.

Jelly shoes have sure come a long way since the 80’s! Thanks to original Brazilian jelly brands Melissa and Alexandre Herchcovitch , the jelly has gone through many transformations and has become its own category in footwear.

This year luxury designers are hopping on the jelly trend and are not disappointing! Earlier this month I reported about the F08 collabo between Melissa X Vivienne Westwood. Muito quente! If your jonesing for some designer jelly shoes now, no need to fret because some of our favorite brands are offering up their own version of the jelly this spring.

Top Right: Gucci, $150, Top Left: Givenchy, $165, Bottom Right: Fendi, $175, Bottom Left: Marc Jacobs, $160

And remember, aside from being super cute and affordable, jellies are waterproof and vegan friendly!

Before you watch this video, I have to put this in front of it: I, Lady Lexx, am not fond of today’s “Pop” music. I am a gritty Hip Hop, Avant-Garde Jazz, thick Funk & Soul type girl…BUT…when I saw this video it sent me on a future-primitive trip! I love old cartoons and hand drawn type and this video has both! Also, right when you think this track is going to get annoying—BAM!—it makes you smile like a goon! Ok, enough! Check it:

Sweatpants.  Are you a lover or a hater?  I, by far, have been a lover since day one. Sweatpants & sneakers have been a staple in my wardrobe for as long as I can remember.  Perhaps it all started when I was about 6 yrs old, dancing around my living room, being hypnotized by the fleece & lycra induced trance coming off the TV as I watched my favorite show, FAME.

 Ok, so back to my love of sweatpants.  I love them.  I know there are ladies out there that are with me on this.  I have a wide variety– some a bit expensive (no, not Juicy Couture), some basics, some that I actually exercise in, some vintage Nike & Adidas, and of course my “go-to” pair.  The possibilities are quite endless in my opinion.  I have always been a fan of mixing athletic wear with random pieces— dresses, skirts, woven shirts, LV bags, Goodwill goodies….whatever.   Stella McCartney for Adidas, Y3,  L.A.M.B, Ralph…are just a few examples of labels that do an amazing job at taking the basic sweatpant to the next level.   And, boy, do I love them for it.
