Givenchy Fall 2009 Couture: Morrocan Fantasy

Posted in Art Nouveau with tags , , , , , , , , on November 10, 2009 by James Field

The collection that Riccardo Tisci sent down the runway for the Givenchy Fall 2009 Couture collection was beyond mere comprehension. It was out of this world, he is a true visionary and innovator of fashion. This collection pulled influences from Morocco, Greek Goddesses, and rocker chic silhouettes. The herem pants were executed to perfection,the beading, studd work, the velvets and the studded head bands were amazingly done. The work Riccardo Tisci did for this collection was absolutely marvelous. Here are some of my favorite looks from the show…

Bubby’s

Posted in Nouveau Eats with tags , , , , , , , on November 5, 2009 by James Field

Hey my fellow food fanatics! I’m back yet again with another great ‘budget friendly’ NYC restaurant pick. This week we feature Bubby’s Restaurant in Tribeca. I had the opportunity to eat there about a month ago for my friend Leia’s birthday, and it was AWESOME! Ok so let me begin, I had never heard of Bubby’s until Leia said that was were we would be meeting her for dinner. To much of my excitement she mentioned it was on Hudson Street in Tribeca, which  im obsessed with anyway. I got to the restaurant before my friends to scope the place out, and it reminds you of being in a North Carolina, down home country diner, I mean just listen to the name!

 It’s very cozy, warm, and “Martha Stewart” meets country fried chicken..get the picture? Anyhow let’s get to the best part, the FOOD! The place has a great menu of simple classics mixed up with a little mexican flavor. My fave was the Chicken burritos, and the salsa dip soup. Since it was Leia’s big day we of course secretly told our waitress, and she brought out the most delicious chocolate peanut butter pie that I EVER ate! This was all that remained…

Yeah so, not only was there mouth watering pies, they even have a vintage photo booth in the basement, which we of course could not resist to take some silly photos in…

So in conclusion, Im going to keep it simple, Bubby’s ROCKS! And everyone should visit this great place in the heart of Trendy Tribeca.

Russian Roulette

Our love has done it again “Rihanna” the one and only trendsetting, beauty has hit us with another steamy single. Russian Roulette. ”A potentially lethal game of chance in which participants place a single round in a revolver, spin the cylinder, place the muzzle against their head and pull the trigger”. “Russian”refers to the supposed country of origin of the game and ”Roulette” to the element of risk-taking and the spinning of the revolver’s cylinder being reminiscent of spinning a roulette wheel”.( Wikipedia) I personality believe she has taken us to another level with this single. Furthermore; rihanna has changed her whole appearance from this innocent, moderate, gentle girl into this beautiful, gloomy, dark sided women that we now lookup to.

Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take a gun, and count to three
I’m sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go

(Chorus)

And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

Say a prayer to yourself
He says close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get a scary thought
That he’s here means he’s never lost

(Chorus)

As my life flashes before my eyes
I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye
But it’s too late too pick up the value of my life

Dior Homme Spring 2010: Noir Obsession

Posted in Fashion & Style with tags , , , , , , , , , , on October 29, 2009 by James Field

If I had the choice I would literally wear black all day, every day. It’s so mysterious, so elegant, so edgy that it only needs little to make a statement. Of course if you want to look like a goth, or like you just came from a funeral most people dont wear all black everyday. But on the runways of Paris, Dior Homme made it happen. Majority of the mens collection was either black, dark grey, charcoal and some off-white thrown in for good measure. The entire show from start to finish could easily find its way into my wardrobe, here are some of my favorite looks from the show courtesy of WWD
