Dying over this first image from Jason Wu’s collection for Tse Spring/Summer 2011 capsule collection. Inspired by abstract expressionist Barnett Newman, this collection really ups the game for Wu who is well on his way to creating a lifestyle brand.

Link Love:For The Boys: Feltraiger Fall 2010
It’s a very rare occasion that I post about menswear, so when I do you know it’s a brand that I completely support, and this is how I feel about the up and coming brand “Feltraiger” (pronounced FEL-TRAY-GER). Founded in 2009, creative directer Daniel Feldman has created a brand that draws inspiration from the various rebellious subcultures of the 20th century and a mixture of lifestyles found in our society.
The thing I love about Feltraiger is the DIY structure behind the brand, which is shown throughout the creative process and production of each collection. The garments are designed, sampled, and produced in America, specifically in New York City where the designer currently resides. The pieces are only available in limited amounts, as well as hand numbered, further establishing the brand’s dedication to the importance of the creative process.
The Fall 2010 collection is available for purchase in the Feltraiger online store and will be shipping September 10th. My favorite pieces from the Fall line include the 1776 tee (which I could totally see myself in) and the Ivan jacket, a must have for every guy’s wardrobe.

SOURCE:Decorate Your Space: Less Ikea More Vintage
I’ve finally gotten myself all moved into my place and unpacked. I’ve started to purchase furniture and the decorating process has begun. But I have one goal in mind for my new place.
I want it to be less like this. . .
and more like this. . .
I would like to eventually live in an entirely vintage home. I think it will make the decorating process that much more special, fun, and of course one of a kind. I’m just so tired of walking into people’s apartments and it feeling like Ikea threwup all over it. Don’t get me wrong, I have some Ikea pieces in my place, but I’m trying to keep it to a minimum. And hey if Ikea decor is for you, that’s great, it’s just personally not the look I’m going for.

Hey Hey!
Today we have Rebekah from Philly for Bombshell of the Day:
She actually submitted one lonely picture before, but came back with a vengeance thanks to a flurry of fun, stylish outfits.
She says, “I am a writer at heart and a part time designer. If I had to describe myself in one word it would be very difficult. I’m a Gemini and I wear that on my sleeve. I can’t go a day without reminding someone, it has everything to do with me. I wouldn’t be me without my many personalities which are forever growing.”
“As for my style, I wouldn’t be able to describe it in words. I allow it to speak for itself. I have gotten so many different descriptions from people so I rather not put myself in a box. I can say that my accessory line is the eclectic side of me.”
Rebekah is a jewelry designer and a blogger. See her designs at www.artfire.com/users/MakeitHappen and check out her outfits at www.christielover.blogspot.com.

“I’m not Tom Ford in terms of the grooming and the knowledge of clothes and the precision and perfection of getting dressed. There’s nothing I can wear in this ad that isn’t going to look ridiculous. At one point, I tried jeans and a shirt, and it didn’t work. So then Juergen said, “Take off the clothes.” So I did, and that became the ad.” “I did feel good about the way I looked, so it was easy and—well, a guy looks better to me with no clothes on than with clothes! How’s that?” Marc Jacobs to Calvin Klein in September’s Harper’s Bazaar.

SOURCE:4 Simple Goals Before 2011
The lovely Elsie presented the idea on her blog yesterday about creating 4 simple goals for yourself that are inspiring, activity oriented, and most importantly positive. For example, instead of putting something like “lose 10lbs” you would replace it with “eat more fresh foods”. I think it’s a really wonderful idea, and I’m so very excited to share mine with you. I’m also going to write mine down in the beginning of my journal so I am reminded of them daily.
1. Ride My Bicycle
Last summer my (now ex) boyfriend built me an amazing bicycle for my birthday, however I’m often discouraged when it comes to riding because of the Florida heat. But that shouldn’t be an excuse! I’d like to ride more often in the mornings and evenings, and then begin to bike to work when the weather cools down a bit. Once I get riding more, I’d also like to purchase a vintage style cruiser but I think I should take it one step at a time.
2. Photograph Everything
For a girl who owns 10+ film & digital cameras you’d think my apartment would be overflowing in photos. But that just isn’t the case. For my birthday this year I’ve purchased a digital camera and I haven’t really gotten around to using it. I’d like to photograph everything from beautiful things I see outside to my friends and family. Eventually I’d like to do something wonderful with the photographs like get into scrap-booking or create fun DIY photo projects.
3. Learn Tarot
For some people this might seem a bit odd, but the mystical side of life has always been something I’ve been fascinated with. Psychics, ghosts, nature’s mysteries, I adore it all. Lately I’ve been browsing some different decks at the bookstore and I found a Día de los Muertos version that I really like. I think I’ll pick it up this afternoon!
4. Create Beautiful Things
From a very young age I’ve always been creative, however my issue is that I tend to lack motivation and follow through with my ideas. My brain is filled with ideas but I just need to execute them. I recently signed up for Leigh Ann’s ‘Home Ec’ class which I feel is a great starting point.
I hope you all enjoyed reading mine and I can’t wait for you to share yours!

SOURCE:Cake Pops!
For the last few weeks I’ve constantly found myself coming across photos of these super yummy looking treats. At first I was sure they were just cupcake shaped lollipops, but once I did a little research I found out they were even more delicious than that. They’re Cake Pops!! The recipe seems pretty easy and I most definitely need to give them a try. In addition to the Cake Pops, the site Bakerella has endless amounts of baking inspiration and sweet treats to check out! Yum!
