Today’s Obsession: Bullett Magazine “The Golden Summer” Issue

Road trip spread shot by Eliot Lee Hazel in Palm Desert

June 7, 2011 Bullett Magazine hits newsstands worldwide. This is an exciting time for a quarterly publication who, less than a year ago, was putting together the winter issue on a friend’s living room floor! The magazine has definitely spread its wings with the worldwide debut.  Bullett Magazine will surely be a continued success for the company and the readers.

It has something for everyone who has a passion for art, film, avant-garde fashion, music or culture. And, have no fear the creators of the artful and tactful magazine have no intentions of losing sight of their mission. Sah D’Simone, co-founder and creative director voiced, “Bullett doesn’t – and never will – try to appeal to the cultural bystander or the mainstream wannabe, but to people who yearn to see the beauty inside the celebrity and the raw voice behind the pretty face.”

Although, Bullett is relatively new they make up for it with exceptional features that appeal to both fashion savvy females and trendsetting males. Often publications are unsuccessful at forming this balance and tend to target one sex. The most recent volume is the summer issue, aka “The Golden Issue.”

Idil Tabanca, co-founder and editor-in-chief suggest, “The summer issue, to us, represents our American dream. We aspire to serve as cultural catalyst and a medium by which readers are inspired to go after THEIR dream- no matter what that dream is – one page at a time.”

Also, look forward to reading about Lake Bell, Kid Cudi and Ziggy Marley. You’ll also appreciate the photo shoot with legendary musician, Lenny Kravitiz, who was given full creative control of his shoot in the Bahamas.

Bullett Magazine is refreshing, inspiring and relevant. Thankfully, it will soon be available in 12 countries, so mark your calendar for June 7, 2011 & get your copy.

Fashion Review: K-DASH by Kardashion Leopard Dress for QVC | Examiner.com

Khloe, Kim, and Kourtney Kardashian

Who can deny the ubiquitous popularity of reality TV’s most popular sisters, The Kardashians? I can’t. They are everywhere you turn, billboards, magazine covers, and of course, the telly. In each avenue they have managed to look both polished and perfected. The sisterly trio has popularized the curvy woman’s body and continues to inspire women to “dress to impress.”

Living in Hollywood can place added pressure on women to keep up with fashion while juggling a career, social life, and family.  Many LA ladies are in search of comfort and style with pieces that can transform from day-wear to evening.

The Keeping up with the Kardashians sisters, Kourtney, Khloe and Kim have recently debuted K-DASH by Kardashian for QVC. It is complimentary to many different women’s’ body types AND it’s affordable.

I love their Gathered Knit Leopard Print Dress

K-DASH by Kardashian Leopard Print Dress

found on QVC which is only $71. The rouching on the sides of the dress provides an impeccable fit that compliments all sorts of shapes and sizes. Not to mention, the cap sleeves are chic and the leopard accent adds the perfect dose of ooh la la. It’s made from rayon and spandex which are the perfect fibers for an amazingly body-hugging silhouette. Overall, this dress is ready-to-wear and will be a hit at your next social function!

Make a Statement with Brahmin’s Anytime Mini . Exclusively in Vogue.

Seriously, I fell  love with my first Brahmin in Clay when Vogue Insiders issued mine as a gift. Since then I have been carrying it all around town. Now that it’s spring I would love to travel with a smaller carry-all. Brahmin recently revealed their Anytime mini just in time with an array of colours including my favorite’s Canary & Light Pink. Turns out it can be worn with shoulder strap for a day out or strap can be worn wristlet style for an evening look.
As much as I love carrying a resilient tote, a mini is very appropriate and refreshing for the numerous events I will be attending this summer.

Sometimes a women needs to downsize. Plus, this bag is $95, affordable, chic and timeless. You have more than enough time to cop one of these for Memorial Day weekend or your summer vacation.

Ballerina Slippers are Back & in Time for Summer!

Many of us like to wear heels to work and flat on weekends. But it’s one of the busiest seasons for graduations, weddings, parties and more. With all the activities in store why not have a flat that adds flare and femininity? Ballerina slippers can add balance and comfort without sacrificing style.

As a fan of heels, I’ve found some ballerina flats that will do the trick. They can accompany you while traveling or be your everyday footwear. You don’t have to be a Prima ballerina to rock  them either.

Pretty Ballerinas footwear has designed some fantastic flats and to this day, the footwear is ethically sourced and hand-made on the Island of Menorca, Spain.

Do you prefer Leopard?Or would you prefer glitzy, gold, à la Wizard of Oz except not ruby, slippers?
