You can’t go wrong with a pair of blinged out dogtags.  They are a great way to accessorize with dressed up and dressed down outfits.  These Michael Kors dogtags are also super inexpensive.

The Japanese chapter of legendary brand Stussy teamed up with Dutch artist Parra on a new collection of tees. The tees have already been released in Japan and hopefully soon they will be available in the US.

So I don’t think I would actually ever buy any of Violent Lips lip tattoos, but they are quite intriguing.  No lie, most of them weird me out, but I am kind of feeling the glittery ones.  There are definitely some rad colors and the thought of them staying on as temporary tattoos and not smudging off is pretty appealing.

I was beyond excited to learn that two of my favorite labels of all time teamed up to do a collaboration.  Noir had the pleasure of teaming up with Gwen Stefani and L.A.M.B. to make a 50 piece collection.  The whole collection is inspired India, but also of course has a lot of huge influences from what Noir and L.A.M.B are known for…Punk Rawk!  I can not wait to see the remaining collection!

Hype Means Nothing puts their own twist on celebrity images and iconic figures such as Beyonce, Kanye West, Mickey Mouse & Steve McQueen. Their black and white images are printed on tees and various bags & accessories.

 

Deviant Design Group kicked off the grand opening of their first flagship store this past weekend and I had the pleasure of being able to attend the event.  Co-Owners Mark Barata (DDG President) and Dave Mancia had a blast getting to finally open the doors to their store in Long Beach, California.

You may recall Deviant Design Group (DDG) from my previous blogs about their infamous domino ring and DDG x Nooka collaboration.  DDG is definitely known for stepping out of the box and creating impeccable jewelry pieces.  I am definitely looking forward to seeing what they pump out in 2012!

“Deviant Design Group is a premiere jewelry design company based in Los Angeles, California that specializes in custom projects. With over four decades of experience, DDG handcrafts the most impeccable pieces which exemplify attitude with a fresh new approach. The company only uses the finest of materials, crafted here in the United States by the world’s finest artists. And their work departs from usual or accepted standards in hopes to achieve diversity through controversy.”

If you are in the area, stop by and check them out @ 256 Elm Avenue Long Beach, CA.

Zara always has an amazing collection of shoes and the best thing is they are always budget friendly.  I stumbled upon a pair of bright fuchsia peep toes while in their store the other day.  These shoes are incredibly comfy and look gorgeous on.  They are the perfect pair to offset any outfit you might have for springtime and the best news is that they are only $49!

Spring 2012 will be upon us in a few short months, so it’s time to get your wardrobe closet for all the outfits you are going to rawk.  Leather shorts are a definite must have for Spring and the exposed gold zippers are a bonus!
