In honor of 10th anniversary of Opus model watch, brand Harry Winston introduced a new commemorative version of Opus X. Inspired by the idea of planetary movements and the space-time continuum, Opus X displays the time through a synchronous rotation of round indicators, placed in a rotating “frame”. In turn, the indicators and “frame” rotate in different directions, creating a stunning effect of continuous rotation. Thus, the principle of indication of the time in the new model resembles the solar system, where the indicators of minutes, hours and seconds are orbiting around the central disk. Each “circle” is located at an angle so will not obstruct the movement of the rest.

Let me state the obvious, it’s getting hot (and if you’re from the midwest like I am, it’s also the humidity). Thus looking classy or even having the will to do so is getting hard. Thank the lord for the American Apparel tank tops and short shorts (that are just long enough). That is all beside the point, summer is…

This smart house really exists in Warsaw. Its uniqueness lies in its unusual concept – the house is a real castle but only when his owner is away from home. In this case, the house looks like a bunker or secret building with impenetrable fence, with no windows and doors.…

The Surface to Air party at OAK was the place to be. The jewelry collection launch was quite intriguing; I specifically loved the different renditions of the Surface to Air logo used in the necklaces. Eventually, the party spilled out into the streets where a Surface to Air ice cream truck awaited to give us all creamy treats. All in all, the event was a huge success; and everyone in attendance seemed to have a great time.

If you’re near Bond Street, definitely check out the jewelry at OAK.

I, of course was not shocked to see the young starlet in Vogue Italia because they do feature some very atypical content which is why…

I had the pleasure of being asked to assist Adrien Field, an established fashion stylist and style editor of VIBE Magazine. It was an editorial shoot for an upcoming magazine, Vaga. As the day progressed, I realized just how talented Adrien is at what he does. Every time we’d put a model into a look, he would almost immediately know whether or not it would work for the shoot.

Something pleasant and unexpected was just how easy Adrien was to work with. He also encouraged me to give suggestions and opinions on…
