Vuitton’s Life: My 23rd Birthday!

by Vuitton

Hey!

Vuitton here.

In case some of you didn’t know, I celebrated my birthday over the weekend (August 1st). The big 2-3! *sigh*…I think I see a gray strand coming in, but I digress. A few friends celebrated with me at Nassau hot spot, Aura in the Atlantis Resort.

I just met the girl in the pic below that night. Her name is Nash, and her dress and hair were haute, so it was imperative I took a pic with her.

My good friend Tatum and I:

And there you have it. Definitely the best birthday I’ve had!

Real Style: Toronto

by Vuitton

Hey guys!

Vuitton here, with a little glimpse into my life!

I’m not sure if any of you knew this, but I’ve been in Toronto since the 24th, and I’m absolutely loving it. Coming back to my Canadian stomping grounds was such a breath of fresh air, especially since the weather here is lovely, and the weather back home is pretty comparable to a deathly sauna. Over the weekend, a few friends of mine hit up hot spot Guvernment. With all the dancehall playing, I felt a little close to home. And a few people came dressed to the nines.

I’m the worst when it comes to taking full length pics, especially in the dark…and especially after one or two Jacks & Coke. More Real Style to come!

What do you think?

Vuitton’s Life: New York City In A Nutshell

by Vuitton

So most of you guys probably didn’t know that this was my first time at New York Fashion Week, much less New York City. Quite a drastic change from what I’m accustomed to in the Bahamas in terms of the weather, but after living in Canada for two years and Snowpocalypse two weeks ago I knew what I was in for.

New York was pretty cold, and since I didn’t get my things from Asos (which included a trench coat), I had to thug it out in my leather jacket most of the way. But since I layered up with thermals, I was pretty much good to go.

Needless to say, the subways had me for a loop for a bit. “Circles” mean local. “Diamonds” mean express, and I didn’t figure this out until two days before I left. Nonetheless, subways are the easiest, though somewhat confusing for fish out of water, and least expensive way to get to and around the city.

Some of the rumors you’ve heard about New York City cab drivers are true. Yeah, they’re pretty reckless. I’m still thankful I came back home in one piece with the way a few of them were driving. And a ton of them don’t really know where to take you. I had to get in and out of four cabs because none of them knew where my hotel was from Manhattan. Not to mention that most of them don’t even have GPS but have TV screens in the back seat for customers. Not quite sure if I can find the logic in that one, but to each his own.

Being at the tents alone was a fashion show in itself. Most of the attendees come dress to the nines, even if they’re not going to any shows.

Reason being there are a lot of photographers out there ready to take your pic for magazines and blogs if your outfit is eye catching or jaw dropping. At fashion week, it’s undoubtedly one of the highest forms of flattery.

All in all, despite the fast-paced environment and the overwhelming skyscrapers, this island boy had a life-changing experience. Hopefully when next season rolls around, I’ll have myiPhone and Macbook in tow to keep you guys on your toes with what Lincoln Centre will be like. Au revoir, Bryant Park!

Vuitton’s Life: The Kardashians for Bebe and Brian Reyes!

by Vuitton

Hey Guys!

Vuitton here with a rundown of a few of the fabulous shows I attended during New York Fashion Week!
My bestie Lavonne and I were excited for the Kardashians for Bebe show. We got there a little late, but thankfully, shows in New York don’t seem to start on time. We got to our seats and waited to see what the Kardashians had to offer.

The line was everything expected of a Kardashian bombshell. Curve-hugging dresses, leggings and boyfriend blazers were the staples of the collection.

Groundbreaking? Not really. But the reality star sisters stayed true to their personal style without veering far from what’s relatable and trendy.

Kim was there, sans her sisters to rep for the line wearing one of their creations.

Fatima from America’s Next Top Model walked in the show and showed us a bit of her quirky side.

And Fatima and Mr. Jay had a bit of a reunion after the show…

Kim Kardashian left as quickly as she came, but Adrienne Ballon stuck around and was gracious enough to take a pic with me!

What’d you guys think of the collection?

Next, we ran to Brian Reyes:

Once again, gray was a very popular color this season, but Reyes played with the shade in a way that sparked interest. He patterned a few of his pieces after decaying tree bark, but ironically, it brought the collection to life.

He also hopped on board with the deliciously pumpkin colored pieces he sent down the runway. Very Gossip Girl chic, especially with the knee-highs and platforms.

Reyes also took a classic fabric like jacquard and transformed it into silhouettes with modern touches like the midriff skimming look on the right. It was a little risque, but it still maintains that classic appeal.

There were also some luxurious fur pieces sent down the runway in the richest shade of navy blue I’ve ever seen.

One thing to be admired about this collection was the use of prints and colors, an area in which most designers fall short. Reyes’ inspiration will be sure to transcend the runway into the closets of fashionistas who want to keep a current wardrobe without coming off as gaudy.

Celebrity stylist du jour, June Ambrose, was tweeting her fingers away on the front row, keeping her fans abreast of all the chai tea hauteness that spilled on Reyes’ runway. At the end of the show, I asked her for a pic, and she was more than generous to take one with me!

She was stunned when I told her my name to which she replied, “Wait. That’s your government name? Haute pepper approved daaahling!“ She was definitely a breath of fresh air and has the most infectious personality one can come across. Check out her YouTube page here for styling tips and side-splitting commentary.

Vuitton at New York Fashion Week!

by Claire

Instead of doing my typical New York Fashion Week reviews, I decided to send Vuitton this year!!

Our favorite former intern will be hamming it up in the tents, snapping Real Style pictures, dipping into a few parties, and enjoying the shows for the first time!

Honestly, I’m a bit sad I won’t be in attendance, but am saving up all my resources to attend London and Paris this year. I cannot *wait* for London. It’s always fun to see how different countries do the Fashion Week thing. I’d predict New York is by far the craziest, but ya never know.

If the snow doesn’t interfere with his flight, Vuitton should be in New York very soon to provide all the best in Fashion Bomb goodness. Let’s wish him well!

Smootches!

Vuitton’s New Year’s Fashion Resolutions

by Vuitton

As the end of 2009 draws nigh, most of us probably have an idea of what we want our New Years resolutions to be.

Whether it’s to lose those extra Christmas dinner pounds or to make our lives more eco-friendly, we’re all contemplating how we can improve our states of being come 2010.

However, in true Fashion Bomb style, I’ll be looking at this from a sartorial point of view.

1. Wear suits

I work at a bank during the day as a teller, and we’re not required to wear suits.Â Just a dress shirt, dress pants, and a necktie.Â But I figured that I should get my grown man on in the new year and invest in quality, but affordable suits for work, as well as for the weekends.Â You never know what’s gonna pop up, and you wanna look good in case something does.

2. Get an iPhone

Believe it or not, fashion and technology go hand in hand.Â And the war that went on in my head for the past 5 or so months has finally come to a screeching halt.Â I’ve decided to get an iPhone over a Blackberry.Â I just appreciate the duality involved in having a phone that can store copious amounts of music instead of having a cell phone and an iPod.Â In 2010, let’s just kill two birds with one stone…figuratively of course.Â We don’t want PETA to come a-knockin’:)

3. Casual Trousers

Everyone loves a great jean with a great fit.Â But casual trousers can refine a look without seeming too pretentious.Â And to make it more casual without losing the sophistication, they can be paired with a pair of crisp white or gray sneakers.

And lastly,

4. Donate!

I recently cleaned out my closet and separated the things that I don’t wear anymore from the things I do, and wound up with a ton of things to donate.Â It’s always good to spread some cheer, even after the holidays.Â And it’ll definitely make you feel better to know that you helped someone.Â Plus, the closet space will surprise you.

What are your Fashion New Years Resolutions?
