Southern California street-wear brand Bloodbath has unveiled their Spring 2012 Collection this week, via a new lookbook. For the new collection, the company keeps their signature simplistic approach. As seen in the lookbook imagery, Bloodbath offers a variety of new graphic tees, raglan shirts, crewneck sweaters, knits and long sleeve tees worn by Los Angeles rapper S-Mak. The pieces boast touches of camouflage alongside bold and subtle branding, as well as hints of destruction and anarchy.

Another t-shirt brand straight out of my closet. Now the name might throw off some but don’t judge books by covers..

Our name is meant to be remembered. By definition it is aggressive and violent. By design it is clean and simple. Think of it as a balance between opposites.
Bloodbath is made up of two words.
Blood means life, family, passion, sacrifice, and martyrdom.

Bath means cleanliness, being fully immersed in what you do, as an enjoyable meditation.
Our brand encompasses these aspects and strives to create quality clothing for people that want something different. Many brands claim a lifestyle, for us it’s just style. It’s not a way of life, its simply clothing created for those that really live. A mixture of statement, sentiment, and a story take part of every piece we make.

I love this brand from the simple messages to the creative way they make the styles look just as simple. Bloodbath’s Spring 2012 season will hit their website very soon. T-shirts are a must as temps rise so for more info, visit BloodbathProject.com.

Happy First Day of Spring. I’ve been waiting for this day since the first day of Fall lol. Yes terrible I know, but who can resist the weather of this beautiful season? So with Spring in full bloom we need to make sure we have  our essentials. I don’t know about you, but during the Spring and Summer months I do a lot more walking. Because of all the walking I need comfortable yet chic shoes.

When it comes to a flat you have so many options. There are boat shoes, oxfords, loafers, smoking slippers, ballet flats, and lots more. They also come in a variety of prints and textures like floral, polka dot, stripe, suede, velvet, etc.

Check out these great options below

When people think of comfort they automatically associate it with ugly. This does not have to be the case. Last week Beyonce showed us her style in cute loafers while walking around the city with Blue Ivy. Many people would opt for a heel over a flat, but truth be told I wear flats almost everyday. When I’m driving or doing a lot of running around at work I have on flat shoes and then I change into my heels. It is not healthy wearing heels all day long and I do not want to do any damage to my knees or back. There are days when I keep my flats on all the time.

Yesterday I went to IMATS and made quite a few purchases. I didn’t go over my budget of $100 which was really awesome. I will have my full IMATS hall later on in the week. While there, I went to about every cosmetic table with lip gloss or lip stick. I was searching for the perfect colors for spring and summer. If this was a few years ago, I would be fine with just a tinted gloss, but now I am really starting to embrace lip stick and glosses with great pigments.

I purchased items from Stila and OCC (Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics), and these colors completed my spring/summer lip color arsenal along with a few lippies from Inglot. Take a look at the colors up close with swatches.

Spring is near…20 days away. We can make it!

This bag is giving me life. I know it is simple but that is why I love it. The color pops and the box shape is extremely unique. The tassel adds a little fun to the bag as well. This bag is only $50 and can be worn with countless things. Check out a few dresses below that I would pair the bag with and also a link to purchase the bag.
