~File This Under: "Greatness: The Jay Z and Kanye West "Otis" Video"

[Otis Redding]
It makes it easier, easier to bear
You won't be ready, no, no
No, girl they won't forget it
Love is their home
Happiness yeah
Sq-sq-sq-squeeze her, don't tease her
Never leave her...

[Jay-Z]
Sounds so soulful don't you agree
I invented swag
Poppin bottles putting supermodels in the cab
Proof
I guess I got my swagger back
Truth: new watch alert, Hublot's
Or the big face Rollie I got two of those
Arm out the window through the city I maneuver slow
Cock back, snap back
See my cut through the holes

[Kanye West]
Damn Yeezy and Hov,
Where the hell ya been?
Niggas talkin real reckless: stuntmen
I adopted these niggas, Phillip Drummond 'em
Now I'm bout to make them tuck they whole summer in
They say I'm crazy, well, I'm 'bout to go dumb again
They aint see me cause I pulled up in my other Benz
Last week I was in my other other Benz
Throw your diamonds up cause we in this bitch and up again

[Jay-Z]
Photo shoot fresh, looking like wealth
I'm 'bout to call the paparazzi on myself
Uh, live from the Mercer
Run up on Yeezy the wrong way, I might murk ya
Flee in the G450 I might surface
Political refugee, asylum can be purchased
Uh, everythings for sale, I got 5 passports
I'm never going to jail

[Kanye West]
I made "Jesus Walks" I'm never going to hell
Couture level flow, it's never going on sale
Luxury rap, the Hermes of verses
Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive
I get it custom, you a customer
You ain't 'customed to going through Customs, you ain't been nowhere, huh?
And all the ladies in the house, got 'em showing off
I'm done, I hit ya up mana-naaa!

[Jay-Z]
Welcome to Havana
Smoking cubanos with Castro in cabanas
Viva Mexico, Cubano
Dominicano, all the plugs that I know
Driving Benzes, wit' no benefits
Not bad huh? For some immigrants
Build your fences, we diggin' tunnels
Can't you see? We gettin' money up under you

[Kanye West]
Can't you see the private jets flyin' over you?
Maybach bumper sticker read "What would Hova do?"
Jay is chillin', 'Ye is chillin'
What more can I say? We killin' 'em
Hold up, before we end this campaign
As you can see, we done bodied the damn lames
Lord, please let them accept the things they can't change
And pray that all of their pain be champagne
-Jay Z/Kanye West "Otis"


Jay Z and Kanye West have the rap game...no...wait...make that the entire music industry on smash right now. The "Watch The Throne" album is beyond CRAZY and the first video, for the single "Otis", is about to get a restraining order on me. I've watched it like 50x in the last hour. The lyrics to that joint is a Glamour Whore's theme song dammit...




I made "Jesus Walks" I'm never going to hell

And all the ladies in the house, got 'em showing off

Killing me...

Photo shoot fresh, looking like wealth
I'm 'bout to call the paparazzi on myself
Uh, live from the Mercer
Run up on Yeezy the wrong way, I might murk ya
Flee in the G450 I might surface
Political refugee, asylum can be purchased
Uh, everythings for sale, I got 5 passports
I'm never going to jail

Fucking greatness...

~$15,000 Diamond Contact Lenses?! File This Under: I Can't...~

Follow my blog with bloglovin´

"Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts."
-Albert Einstein


I have written about some seriously over-priced, extravagant nonsense (remember the $25,000 toilet?) but even I cannot deal with what I'm about to show you. Usually I love me some opulence and decadence. I'm Glamour Whore, opulence and decadence are 2 of my favorite adjectives. And I sure as hell love diamonds. However... These $15,000 diamond and gold contact lenses?! Oh. Hell. No. They are the tackiest things I have ever seen in my life. Ever. I already LOATHE colored contacts and the people who wear them, but these are on a whole other level of fuckery. The article in The Daily Mail said the doctor who created them was inspired by the jewels in his wife's teeth. I quit.

I'll let the Daily Mail fill you in:

They are part of the company's La SER Jewelry range and will be available in four designs: 18 diamonds on white gold, 18 diamonds on yellow gold, just white gold and yellow gold.

Mr Chawan said that the lenses weigh 5 grams in total, sit between 6mm and 9mm away from the cornea and hold water in front of it to soothe the eye.

Shekhar Eye Research says that the design will not stop oxygen from getting to the eye.

They can be customised to correct any visual impairment and are comfortable to wear, they added.
-Daily Mail

Have a look...







And why spend $15,000 when this company makes some faux diamond lenses?




You're still going to look crazy and tacky but you'll save like $14,980

~Fall In Love With: Ippolita Jewelry... Starring Guest Blogger Leann Rimes~

Follow my blog with bloglovin´

"Rich and rare were the gems she wore,
And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore."
-Thomas Moore


No, I'm not delusional, you read it right, Leann Rimes is in fact a contributor on this article. Let me fill you in... As you all know Mrs.Cibrian is a favorite of mine style-wise. I love to feature her style, I mean her shoe game alone is outstanding. I truly believe she just might be my shoe solemate... But something else I noticed was her jewelry. In almost every pic I see of her she has on gorgeous jewelery and I also noticed that most of it was from Ippolita. I decided to check them out and fell in love. They had my heart forever as soon as I saw their "Tiara" bangles, "Starlet" ring and "Glamazon" hoops. I reached out to Leann and asked if she would consider co-writing a post with me by picking out 5 of her favorite Ippolita pieces from their collections. I honestly didn't expect her to say yes, the newlywed is incredibly busy performing, finishing her new album due out in Oct, moving to Chi Town, etc... But she did say yes and I am genuinely grateful! I really can't thank her enough. I stated above that Leann is a favorite of mine style wise and that's very true but she has also become a favorite of mine as a person. And I don't say that about everyone. At all. Ask my inner-circle... I'm picky. But what I've learned about Leann Rimes-Cibrian is that behind the enormous talent and public persona is a very real, very cool chick who goes above and beyond in every aspect of her life. That's not often the case. A lot of my style favorites are gorgeous and talented women like Ms.Rimes, but I definitely couldn't see myself hangin with em... But Leann? Yeah, she's definitely welcome to go out for Don Julio and cupcakes anytime. On me because I definitely owe her one. Thank you again Leann...xoxo

Leann wearing Ippolita:






Now let's talk jewelry... Like I said above Ippolita had me at "Tiara" they also had me at "Starlet" and "Creme Brulee". The jewelry is as haute as their names and for the quality and class of the items they are definitely reasonably priced. Have a look:

3) Polished Rock Candy 4-Stone Earring In Creme Brulee ($2,495)
