Recently I posted some of Brian Lichtenberg’s Collection for Forever 21, here are three more tops adding to that collection. What do you guys think ? Cop it or knock it ? I’m not personally a huge fan of it, but I know many girls that would be able to rock this hard.

The new Pure Color Gloss collection will be available at all Estée Lauder counters nationwide andwww.esteelauder.com, and the limited edition Pure Color Gloss Custom Color Collection by Tom Pecheux will be available exclusively at Nordstrom stores nationwide and www.nordstrom.com. I think this campaign is done flawlessly, the image here is beautiful, I don’t think I’ve looked at a cosmetics ad in a while and had just been put in awe. Can’t wait to get my hands on this.

Target is taking over The Standard New York to create a larger-than-life fashion show to debut Target Fall 2010 collections on August 18th @ 9:00 pm. The event is free to the public and guests are invited to experience the show live at viewing parties in the surrounding neighborhood on Little W 12th Street (between Washington Street and 10th Ave).

A total of 155 rooms and 66 dancers dressed in Target’s fall 2010 styles will perform “dazzling choreography synchronized with fast-paced lighting patterns set to an original music score” on the southern façade of The Standard. A simultaneous presentation will take place at the street level where models wearing 25 of the hottest looks from the fall Target lineup will appear in a nine-room replica stage that mirrors the windows of the hotel. If you’re not in NYC, you can watch the live-stream broadcast at Target’s Facebook page. Guests will be able to log on to Target.com following the show to pre-order select fall fashions. I think the image look’s amazing already and I’m sure this will be a fantastic event, since I will be in Vegas for the Magic Trade Show I’m gonna have to livestream it myself.

Abbey Lee Kershaw is featured in the latest fall/winter 2010 ad campaign for Japanese contemporary brand moussy, photographed by Yasutomo Ebisu. Abbey looks super cute in the curls, reminds me of a seventies look. The clothes aren’t wow and super eye appealing but I’m sure there will be more items that will look good. Via Fashion Gone Rogue

Shop Nasty Gal does it again ! I have much respect for Sophia as she always finds the most eye-appealing items to offer through her site, regardless if it’s vintage or new, I always expect to find a remarkable item here, whether it be one or two things, but that never happens, I always see a tremendous amount of items I want. Here this “Cut Chains Tee”, I couldn’t help but fall in love with this piece, it really reminds me of  Armor Jewelry and how great Sandee has designed her body jewelry line. A really cute yet edgy top that really could pair with anything. Anything but basic black tee which features a draped gunmetal chain detailing and cutout scoop back.

Shop Nasty Gal, one of my favorite sites to find awesome items ! Just browsing and found this awesome top. As Nasty explains this as a Fab charcoaled gray batwing sweater, featuring sheer black sequin mesh panels at sleeve. Wide scoop neckline, ribbed cuff and hem. Pair this up with some leggings, skinnies, or a skirt as shown and you’re set, even some patterned tights underneath ! Attempting to purchase this item myself right now while my bf plays video-games so he doesn’t see me shopping some more once again, =X yikes ! Cop it or knock it ? Regardless, it’s mineeeee.

The Bazaar Restaurant @ The SLS Hotel in Los Angeles. Having heard many reviews about this restaurant the bf and I decided to give it a try. First thing I could only think of upon walking into the restaurant was where’s Alice ? Completely a weird, trippy Alice in Wonderland feeling to it, but hey, the restaurants name is The Bazaar right ? Being here on a Tuesday night and the place was ridiculously busy, but that’s just reassurance that they’re doing something right. We opted to sit where the cold bar was where the chefs were preparing the cold items and jamons as we could see everything right in front of our eyes, it was amazing to see how delicately things were handle and the quality of the items. The menu is very extensive and includes modern tapas, as well as the classics. If you don’t know tapas, it’s Spanish for a wide variety of appetizers or snacks. Perfect for me since I’m a big fan of trying different items rather than sticking to one. My experience:

Cotton Candy Foie Gras

This was weird but hey, why not give it a try. A generous piece of colder foie gras with a cotton candy wrapped around. They say this is a one bite, but for me one’s just too rich, taking one bite, cleansing it with some water and resuming was good enough. The flavors were great, who would’ve thought the sweetness of the cotton candy would pair well, but then again the way foie gras melts in your mouth matches with the way the cotton candy dissolves.

Braised Wagyu beef cheeks clementines

The beef was so succulent and braised to perfect, extremely tender that you could just cut the beef with your fork. This has a bit more of a saltier flavor to it so with the sweet tangy flavor of the clementines with the wagyu beef, it was a match-made in heaven.

JAMONES Y EMBUTIDOS

Catalan style toasted bread with perfectly diced tomatoes, I was able to view how this dish was being prepared and they’re extremely pick with how they prepare the tomatoes, a delicate touch only to it. Served with your choice of ham(prosciutto) we opted for the Jamón Ibérico de bellota Fermin. Honestly, the bread and tomatoes were so perfect that I just opted without the ham, which made my bf happy, more meat for him.

Philly Cheesesteak

They explain this as an air bread, just imagine an extremely thin and delicate puff pastry hollowed out in the center, filled with a cheddar foam inside, and topped with thin slices of wagyu beef. I honestly could’ve gone for several orders of this. A deconstructed philly cheesesteak of perfection.

Tortilla de patatas

Potato foam, egg 63, caramelized onions, this dish was just extremely weird, gooey, rich, but absolutely delicious and worth giving a try, I love eggs and it was just really cool to pair this up a new way with foam.

Croquetas de pollo

Chicken and béchamel fritters, this was delicious, I could imagine a deep fried chicken pot pie. If you love rich food, and anything deep fried then this is your dish.

Chocolate au Pain & Passion Fruit Marshmallow

I was disappointed with the chocolate au pain, it tasted a bit dry to me and not as rich as I expected the croissant to be. The passion fruit marshmallow was fun and delicious, I loved how the flavor was infused, it was a delicate fluffy.

Apples Carlota

This bread pudding was very good, it was like a creme brulee topping with that burnt sugar. Along with a saffron sauce and a milky ice cream, the apples were personally a bit too tart for me in this dish, but I couldn’t stop devouring the ice cream, it was rich, but tart, and combination was just perfect, if I could just buy several pints of this and rush it home to my freezer I would.

Traditional Spanish Flan

With a vanilla whipped cream and rich caramel sauce, the flan came out perfect. Sometimes the most simple things are the best. The flavor of a spanish flan is more rich and condensed but not heavy. I could’ve ate several orders of this, but then again with my sweets tooth I could give them plenty of business just on there desserts alone. My bf and I pretty much fought over this dish since my bread pudding was overpowered by the apples.

Overall experience here was great, I would definitely return here once again when I have the chance to which will probably be coming up soon since my bf and I have been dying to have another meal here. I hope you guys enjoy and take this restaurant into consideration and give it a try. Also I will be posting up recipes coming in the soon near future. Apologies for delay posts, my life as a bio-chem major is killing me !

I’m sure you guys all already know what a fan of Forever 21 I am, regardless of what others may think. I’m able to shop at a mere cost and repeatedly change my wardrobe without hesitation and still stay current on trend. I’m loving there Draped Front Knit Dress currently right now, Love 21’s draped piece gracefully starts from the shoulder and down to the waist for a stylish flair with a round neckline and Elastic-cinched on one side of the waist to accentuate your those sexy curves. 3/4 Sleeves with an exposed back zipper placket and Finished hem. Dress this up or dress this down, you’re able to pull it off either way, reasonably priced at $24.80 and might I add, an actual steal.
