Madonna’s Material Girl Juniors Collection for Macy’s

Posted by @Imani_Sublime | Look And Likes [Fashion, Photography, Models, Art, etc],Material Obsessions | Wednesday 30 June 2010 11:23 pm

So cute. Madonna and her daughter Lourdes Leon, have designed a juniors collection for Macy’s called “Material Girl” that will be released on August 3, 2010. And not surprisingly, it’s a revamping of Madonna’s original 1980′s stylings with a modern twist that comes from her 13 year old daughter, who also is writing the blog, featured on the website www.materialgirlcollection.com.

The prices are quite affordable, ranging from $12.00-$40.00.

I LOVE.

Check out the photos below, beginning with the ad and then the sketch of designs and then some look book pics.

ENJOY!

Alexander McQueen Cruise 2011 (Pre-Spring) Collection

Posted by @Imani_Sublime | Look And Likes [Fashion, Photography, Models, Art, etc],Material Obsessions | Wednesday 30 June 2010 11:06 pm

This is the first collection produced by new creative director Sarah Burton and the first collection after McQueen’s tragic death. Inspired by Hans Bellmers and samurai warriors, I do like the collection.  I like that she tried to stay within the aesthetic of McQueen’s known style. LOVE the red and black gown in the first photo as well as the black gown with samurai sleeves in the second photo. Beautiful.

Check out some photos of the collection below.

[Stella McCartney] Sheer Perfume

Posted by @Imani_Sublime | Material Obsessions | Wednesday 26 May 2010 2:18 pm

I am always on the look out for fresh scents for the summer (although I ALWAYS end up sticking to Chanel No. 5….what can I say, I’m loyal to the classics?), and this one hit me like a ton of bricks. I asked a woman  on the 4 train what perfume she was wearing because it smelled awesome. She told me it was this perfume and when I did a little research I found that the bottle is actually designed by London based artist Philip Jones, who’s work has most recently been exhibited in Madrid, Spain. how unique is that???

The scent itself is a multitude of different rose notes with green apple, frosted lemon, and warm amber to round it out. So luscious and soft at the same time. I love.

LOVE the gray roses shadowed on the bottle. LOVE.

Absolut Brooklyn

Posted by @Imani_Sublime | Look And Likes [Fashion, Photography, Models, Art, etc],Material Obsessions | Wednesday 26 May 2010 1:56 pm

The world’s most iconic vodka brand has teamed up with famed director Spike Lee for their city-inspired, limited-edition flavored vodkas.

Released on May 17th, this limited edition vodka will only be available for FOUR MONTHS!!!

So get it while it’s hot!!!

Of course, Spike Lee represents Brooklyn with this apple-ginger infused vodka.

The art on the bottle is a depiction of the #165 brownstone in Brooklyn where Lee grew up and written on the stoop, amongst Brooklyn nicknames and such, it features a line from “A Love Poem to Brooklyn” from famed spoken word artist and Brooklynite Lemon Andersen (www.spitking.com)

Another uber cool thing about the bottle?  The Lars Olsson Smith seal, never before altered on the iconic ABSOLUT bottle, has been “Spiked” – Lars wears a baseball cap and glasses similar to Spike Lee’s signature style.

Another note: Each of the city editions of Absolut has a charitable initiative attached, as part of this campaign Absolut is donating $50,000 to Habitat for Humanity to help fund an affordable homes project in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

H&M Fashion Against AIDS

Posted by @Imani_Sublime | Material Obsessions | Thursday 15 April 2010 2:15 pm

I am a thick, voluptuous girl…size 12 borderline 14 depending on the cut of the clothing. I’m not skinny…I get it.  LoL. And despite the more often than not smaller cuts of H&M clothing…I always seem to cop an item or two that was made just for me. So, it’s especially exciting when I find some looks that are soon to drop.

The below collection is for H&M Fashion Against AIDS, a venture started in 2008 as a way for celebrities to use their fame to continue spreading knowledge and awareness of the worldwide AIDS epidemic . This particular collection, launching on 5/20/2010, will give 25% of its sales to AIDS awareness organizations. I love the funky tribal feel to the pieces mixed in with the glam of sequins. I actually really like the sequined peach jacket… it would look kind of cool over a wife beater and some ratty jeans… dressing up the grunge so to speak.

Check out my favorite pieces below…let’s hope SOME of these fit me. LoL.

[Jewelry] Amrita Singh

Posted by @Imani_Sublime | Look And Likes [Fashion, Photography, Models, Art, etc],Material Obsessions | Thursday 18 June 2009 8:39 pm

I am a HUGE fan of chunky statement rings.

In saying this….I was standing on the train one afternoon, when I looked down and saw this young woman playing with this amazing amethyst ring. It was so stunning that I had to ask her where she got it. She only said two words “Amrita Singh.” The next day at work, I sat and googled until I found Amrita Singh’s website…and the beautiful ring which I so desire.

Take a look for yourself:
