EN VOGUE: KIM KARDASHIAN & KANYE

Imagine this back in 2007: Kim Kardashian on the cover of Vogue! Hold on, the Playboy cover girl/ reality star/ scandalista? Yes, she can! Kim shines bright like a diamond on the new cover of Vogue America with fiance Kanye West. She's wearing a gorgeous strapless Lanvin wedding gown and her custom made 15 carat diamond engagement ring created by Lorraine Schwartz. The cover is incredibly stunning and flawless. Remember Kim's first wedding on the cover of People, Intouch and co? This is more than an upgrade, this is the ultimate crowning moment. It's a major statement for the iconic magazine. This cover embraces the 21st century's biggest change in the world of fashion: People make the trends.

Surely there was a time when fashion was dictated by a superior dress code, press, dominating labels and even politics. Now it's all about the individual. Celebrities, bloggers, tumblr - We make the trends. Kim is the most talked about celebrity, she's everywhere. Thousands of tumblr pages are dedicated to Kim's style. Kanye is the one and only Nr. 1 when it comes to Man in High Fashion. The caption #WORLDSMOSTTALKEDABOUTCOUPLE speaks for itself. In my opinion this cover is a milestone for the industry, and let's admit it: This will be the best selling Vogue issue of the year. I love it and I'll buy it! ;) Congratulations Kim and Kanye, you truly deserve this. Check out star photographer Annie Leibovitz shooting Kimye and their beautiful princess baby North - LOVE. Quoting Anna Wintour: "To be in Vogue has to mean something".

2013 HOT LIST: MUSIC

2014... Can't wait for NYE! ;) I love this metaphorical 'fresh start', did you guys already come up with some New Year's resolutions? The 01.01 is around the corner, which means: Time for a bow down, a 2013 hot list. Today we discuss one of my favourite topics... MUSIC!

FAV' ALBUMS 2013:

- Lana Del Rey: In January I was definitely high on Lana. There were like 3 different remix versions of each of her songs on my phone! She is such a great artist, she's magical. The great LDR moment this year, was her song Young And Beautiful. Rumor has it that she will be nominated for the 2014 Oscars for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Crown!

- The Great Gatsby : Why is this movie so epic? There are billions of reasons! I'd say 25% of the credit go to the soundtrack produced by our Roc... the one and only JAY Z

I did the money dance to 100$ Bill and rocked the dancefloor to A Little Party Never Killed Nobody. Fantastic album!

Benjamin Franklins filled, fold it just for the thrill

- Pusha T: Wrath of Caine was a f*cking dope mixtape (excuse my french), followed by My Name Is My Name, an even greater album. I'm so in love with Pusha, bro that's some #GOODMUSIC!
I just want to ride Italian leather, acting like you don’t know me 

Euro designer palace, fuck my bitch on Missoni... 

- Jay Z: The album Magna Carta... Holy Grail is perfection from 00:00 to 59:04. In my opinion, Jay kicked Kanye's ass with this masterpiece. I'm sorry Yee but... his album is insanely good. (I said it: It's better!) The lyrics are very deep and epic. Oceans (feat. Frank Ocean) is the soundtrack of my summer, definitely one of the best songs this century.

This water tells my story, this water knows it all

Go ahead and spill some champagne in the water

Go ahead and watch the sun blaze on the waves of the ocean

 

- 2 Chainz: B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time - He's cool , he's dope, he's killa, he's fun... he looks like Whoopi Goldberg! lol ;) There are artists like 2 Chainz or Juicy J who turn every princess in a bad a** bitch on the dancefloor. This album is just another example for that! #TRUUUU

- Drake: Nothing Was the Same. Nothing was the same after this album. GOLD! I was chilling by the pool enjoying the summer with Hold On, We're Going Home, those moments were heaven.

also already mentioned & beloved: Miley Cyrus Bangerz, Robin Thicke Blurred Lines & of course Beyonce BEYONCE, Disclosure Settle, Big Sean Hall of Fame & more
And... the all time A-List Clique: No 'particular record' in 2013, but they were kinda around all the time... Shining! ;)
Asap Rocky (yes, LONG.LIVE.A$AP came out in 01.2013 but I already wrote a hymn of praise about it in 2012), Rick Ross (waiting for Mastermind), Future (Honest in 2014)

Still sharing the throne: KANYE WEST & JAY Z #bowdownbitches

MUSIC IS A GIFT! <3

Have a great evening

BOUND 2

Let's start the debate! ;) A screenshot of Kanye's new video 'Bound2' is already enough to predict the upcoming controversy. This is the magic of the West, Ladies and Gentlemen. It's the tough question: "Is this brilliancy, is it art or just overrated nonsense?" For those of you who need reconsideration... here is my answer: He is indeed a Genius with capital G, he is our Yeenius. ;) I played it 5 times and then I thought about it. I red the lyrics like it's a Shakespeare and checked out the video like I'm a Wintour. Honestly guys, I know how this sounds but... I feel the love, their love. The greatest proof for that is their incredibly beautiful North. I love Kimye! ;) Dolls, enjoy watching!)) And boys, let Kanye teach you how to style this timeless trend: Plaid. King West is wearing Ralph Lauren btw. The super dope tee is vintage Iron Maiden. Love, fashion and a motorcycle- Perfect 21st century fairytale. ;)

Have a beaut' evening
