I'm sorry for disappearing.

I'm just not enchanted with this blog anymore.

I'm thinking of making a new one.

Stay tuned. I'm not out, just figuring out my next move.

iamOTHER





Needless to say, I've had some time on my hands since getting out of school. I've been occupying myself through TV, tumblr, working out, and YouTube. And boy, oh boy, YouTube is a gold mine. Not that I didn't know of people like Michelle Phan or AndreasChoice, but it is the very first time I actually took a look at the style & lifestyle. And I found one of the biggest gems of all, iamOTHER by Pharrell Williams.

You all know how big a fan I am of Pharrell Williams and his projects. And well, he's done it again, ladies and gentlemen. The man is just a creative genius and this pet project of his, a video channel to highlight those OTHER ideas, is just as brilliant as his other ideas. Built up of a conglomerate of shows, from Issa Rae's brilliant brainchild "The MisAdventures of an Awkward Black Girl" (I love this show way too much) to "Others" by Hypebeast to StereoTypes hosted by Rae, this channel is sublimely interesting and inspiring. Check it out below! (Also, beware, there might be some coarse language in these videos.)


(I actually really like this show. It's interesting.)





Plain and Simple, Pharrell did a great job with this channel. It's well done, informative and nice to look at. Question is, did you like it as much as I do? Tell me in the comments!

My New Old Obsession


The New Chic: Sporty. Sexy. Chic.



My New Old Obsession isn't a shoe, a designer, or even a person. It's the website Polyvore. I don't know why but I just up and decided to make a set one day as the boredom overcame me. The last thing I expected to be was entertained. The website has been revamped to the point where the sets anyone makes can look professional. And I'm entranced. I've spent my days and some nights actually making sets. I'm beginning to get really good at this. I wanted to share some of my favorites with you guys, before I make more and can't choose.
I've also found that I really like muted neutral color palettes, with pops of color for that for this summer. But what do you guys think of these sets? Tell me in the comments!

Wanderlusting: The Way I Pack-- Mr. Porter

Well, it's been a long, long time. And as always, I'm apologizing profusely. With this being my senior year, I am seriously just trying to get out of school with my head above water. That's all really. Right now, my spring break is dwindling in it's last hours and the sound of Camp Lo and Frank Sinatra are currently blasting from my computer speakers. But more on that on Tumblr. As of right now, I am here to service your sartorial needs and wants.
A well known fact about me is that I am a serious wanderlust. I love travel, always have. New places, new people, new experiences; it all excites me. But one of the ever present DRAGS of travelling is packing. Having to pack ONE bag just truly throws me. I either end up over packing or under packing. If you are anything like me, you'll take any type of tip from the pros of the JetSet. And that's what this video is all about. Created by MrPorter.com, this video is filled with nothing but men (primarily with accents) talking about how they streamline packing. From a technical standpoint, this video is incredible. But just my opinion. What do you think of it?

Woo! These are the best pictures I took during my Christmas holiday, spent half in Georgia and half in New York. Have you guys ever spent Christmas in New York? To say the least it's magical. Really and truly magical. There is so much to see. It's really and truly beautiful. My shots barely does it all justice. But anyway, enjoy the shots above and I hope you guys are enjoying your New Year. I wish you all the best!

CELEBRATION!

YES! School is out... At least for two weeks... But it doesn't matter. I'm halfway done with my senior year! And I made out well. All As for everything! Woohoo! I'm proud, my family is proud, it's just a good feeling overall. But the work isn't over and I'll be working a lot harder on the way out. But at least for now, I can CELEBRATE!







Just some tunes I can bang to while I'm in full celebration mode...

Oh and expect the blog to come back with full force. I got a new camera!

Enjoy your holidays!

Hearts, hugs and Lots of Love,
Dream!

Dear Santa (and precious followers)...

You see, I've been really good this year. I'm even trying to update my blog more! Unfortunately due to the set back of school and a couple of thieves stealing my phone and camera and me only receiving my phone back, I'm not so much adhering to the updating schedule. But, I'm trying. That counts right?? So I just have a small list of things that would please me to see under my tree: 
  • Ksubi Sun/Eye Glasses (Styles shown: "Lyra" of the Book Club Collection, "Matar" of the Eye, Eye Collection and "Sham" of the Ad Astra Per Aspera Collection)


This find was the result of late night tumblr. Based in Australia, a group of surfer designers make this amazing clothing line called Ksubi. Although known for their denim, their accessories are NOT to be overlooked. I think their sunglasses rival that of Ray Bans, just because these are worn by those who want to stand apart. For that quality, these glasses make it on my Christmas list. Not that I could get them, mostly because they don't sell in America and I can't find an online retailer that sell these specific glasses. So I'll just look at the images and sigh with lust.

ADN by Adeen Chomp Snapback

Seriously, I am disenchanted by almost all snapbacks. Except this one. It's entirely different than most. Created by Rembrandt Duran, this ADN by ADEEN snapback boasts TEETH, making it absolutely more fierce than the rest. Priced at  $180, the hat speaks volumes for style and originality. I mean, who sees snapbacks like this where they're from (unless of course you live in NYC or Japan)? No one. Reason I want it SO bad.

I cannot explain my utter obsession with this series. I freak out EVERY time it comes on. Maybe it's the plot (can't resist a good mystery!). It could be the characters (Hanna and Spencer are BY far my favorite...). Or it could be the AMAZING style... Four completely different girls, Four completely different styles, four amazing wardrobes. The fan favorite is Aria, whose boho cool strikes immediately, but it doesn't mean that Hanna's sexy glam or Spencer's preppy polish is to be ignored. Well whatever it is that draws everyone to the show, it's a collassal hit. And I for one, love it. Beware, this isn't the last time I'm going to write about it...

Copic Markers

See, THIS is what I'm asking for. Just in necessary colors. At $8 a marker, they're truly not the cheapest art supplies around. But they are something like the Rolls Royce of art supplies, so to polish off my portfolio, they might be necessary.

Alright, before you guys judge me for being a hypebeast, I seriously loved Sam Edelman before the hype of the Lorissas even though I love them STILL. He does spikes SO well, it's crazy. I could wear these like I wear sneakers... EVERYDAY. Sigh, but alas, they are unpractical (not that I truly care), but yes, they are. So I'll just sigh and look at them.

That's pretty much my list. Oh and admission into FIT (which is at the VERY top of my list) *says small prayer*.

That wasn't so bad was it? I tried to simplify it and put ONLY the really wanted items on there. But that's all folks! Until next time!
Hearts, Hugs and Lots of Love,
Dream

P.S. My birthday is the 21st, that's Wednesday of this week. Of course, I'll have to spend it in school so it would really please me to see comments... :)
