Shop: Chris Benz x Movado

I have had a white Movado for several years now that I wear religiously until the iconic Movado "dot" decided to fall to its death.  When researching the address to which I can send it in for repair, I uncovered the little gem that is their Artist Series.  Launched in 1987, the Series is composed of commissioned, limited edition timepieces designed by artists such as Andy Warhol, kinetic artist Yaacov Agan, painter/sculptor Arman, James Rosenquist, pop-artist Romero Britto, and Kenny Scharf.    Chris Benz, known for his fashion designs, is the newest edition to the Series.  His watches comprise five colorful designs featuring an interesting iteration of the legendary "dot"  What a perfect watch for the neo-surfer look that I love and which we will continue to see all over come sprint.

Editorial: On the Road

In tribute to my all leather Axl Rose costume that I had to wear to work today (yes, I really am a lawyer, and yes, 'had' to) AND in tribute to my home state of Wisconsin, home of Harley Davidson, I feature this editorial from the November issue Vogue Spain. Lachlan Bailey shot my favorite model Natasha Poly in leather looks that transcend seasons. Literally, year after year, we will see interpretations of this motorcycle jacket. Now go grab some kohl, line your eyes and enjoy the editorial porn.

Comeback: Prada Jewelry

I have to admit that I became kind of bored with Prada and haven't been to into anything since their ombre shoe collection. However, after seeing their Spring 2012 show, I think that Prada is officially making a comeback in my life.  Prada has released their jewelry campaign images and a video, shot by Steven Meisel for their Resort 2012 collection and as you may know already many of these pieces were also seen on the Spring 2012 show, which means, you have the chance to lay your hands on spring goodies already in November, if you feel the urge….  I guarantee you, these will be on the ears and necks of all of the girls you want to look like.  

Art: Theo Altenberg

Theo Altenberg is a 59 year old German artist, actor and singer who you should know.  His oil on cardboard paintings are visually stunning and emotionally dreamy---or at least the kind of dreams I want to have.  It is easy to be mesmerized by the colors, the swirls and the intention (or lack thereof?) in his work.  You stare and each time you can see another image in the colorization and like a dream, you walk away not quite understanding what it was all about.  I like that.
