Bubbles!!!!!
I’ve been craving bubble tea like a muhfucka lately! Haven’t had it in like a year and it’s killing me. Taro, preferably. Need to pay a visit to Aki asaps. I wish I was still living in Brooklyn/Manhatt so I can go to St.’s Alp Teahouse every day of my life!
Found a recipe, and I think I’m going to attempt this soon!
Bubble Tea Recipe:
2.2 lbs bubble tea powder (approximately 45-50 (16oz.) bubble teas)
Taro bubble tea is also a top seller worldwide. Taro is a root similar to sweet potato. The purple color makes it a favorite “pretty” drink, but a “tasty” creamy drink with a hint of taro flavoring.
Preparation (16oz serving):
(Scoop is provided FREE of charge with purchase of this powder – $1.99 value)
16oz Bubble Tea Flavored Powder Drink
———————————
1 Scoop Bubble Tea Flavored Powder
1 Scoop Non-Dairy Powder or Refined Creamer powder
1 Scoop Sweetener (sugar syrup, fructose, Hawaiian cane sugar or sugar)
3/4 cup water
1 cup ice
2 fl. oz. of cooked Bubble Tea Tapioca Pearls
1) Put all ingredients except tapioca into shaker and shake it up.
2) Make sure that the flavored powder and creamer is mixed well.
3) Add bubble tea tapioca pearls to a cup, and pour your drink over.
4) Put in your big fat bubble tea straw and enjoy.
*Add more flavored powder and creamer for thicker drink.
16oz Ice-Blended Fresh Fruit Drink
———————————
1 Scoop Bubble Tea Flavored Powder
1 Scoop Non-Dairy Powder or Refined Creamer powder
1 Scoop Sweetener (sugar syrup, fructose, Hawaiian cane sugar or sugar)
1/2 cup fresh fruit
1/4 cup crushed ice
2 fl. oz. of cooked Bubble Tea Tapioca Pearls
1) Put bubble tea flavored powder, creamer, sweetener and fresh fruit into the blender for 20 seconds or until blended well.
2) Blend the drink less if you like little pieces of fruit.
3) Add tapioca pearls to a cup, and pour your drink over.
4) Put in your big fat bubble tea straw and enjoy.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR ORDER (and save)

Touch me!
Ugh, Rafe Spall. This dude is capital B, Banging! I adore him. He can SO get it. Plus, he has an english accent, which automatically gives you 48957489328 cool points. I need to go visit my cousin in London (she’s currently attending Oxford… lucky ass broad), and stalk the shit out of him. Or I at least need to date his identical twin. Peep him in Hot Fuzz, Green Street Hooligans, and he has a bit part in Shaun of the Dead (he was a little fatty in that one, but i still love him). He’s definitely one of the few people who would make me star-struck. he’s a fine man. yum.

Hellz x Reebok
“ As Hellz continues to grow in the fashion industry, collaborating with some of the industries biggest moguls Hellz is extremely proud to present the Hellz x Reebok collaboration shoe, dropping Friday, November 27th.
This highly anticipated model features a fold-down flap which Hellz has utilized as a focal point with pixelated images on a clean black perforated leather upper. It comes with optional shoe string colors (black and neon yellow), stud detailing and a punk rock attitude to go along with it. Creating a bond between the women’s brand and one of the sneaker world’s timeless leaders has become a stepping stone for Hellz to branch off into footwear.
Although there is such a high demand for the collaboration, the shoe will only be available to the public at select retailers, as well as the Hellz soon-to-drop online shop. If purchased through the Hellz online shop, customers will receive a special gift.
Hellz is widely known for providing style savvy women with unique attire, and enthralling collaborations. The Hellz x Reebok shoe, being one, is sure to not disappoint; creating a much more enticing reason to wait for Black Friday.”

So, I really despise wearing watches. I just think they’re obnoxious and get in the way, but I pretty much need this:
I wish it was in purple though.
Available at Extra Butter!

Tattoo Points
So, I think that everyone under the sun should go and get tattooed by my dude Edwin (aka Tyler) over at Nat’s tattoos. Hands down, he’s done some of the most amazing tattoo work that I’ve ever seen. Word is Bond (hahaha). Seriously though, I’m about to post a few pictures of his work and I dare you to tell me that he is not insanely talented. He definitely will be my tattoo artist from now on (as well as my Kyley).
do work:
I mean, how sick is his detail work? so serious.
See him at:

Get Your Money Up, or don’t, either way…
The Steve Madden Seryna versus the Alexander McQueen Pelle Booties
the difference is the AMs are $2,000, The SMs are $130.
oh how i wish i was rolling in dough.
BUT,
The Lipstick Diaries found an even cheaper (and in my opinion, cuter) version.
The zipper trim fold-over bootie.
Can’t I have all 3?
I need to step my heel game up (no pun intended).
It’s Here: “Midnight Riders”
So Miss Lawn posted the lookbook for the new Hellz Bellz Fall Collection II: “Midnight Riders”.
It’s dope to, say the least.
“We are super excited and very pleased to present the collection ‘Midnight Riders,’ photographed by Brooke Nipar for our Fall 2009 2nd Delivery. By utilizing dark themes found in the iconic 80’s flick ‘Mad Max’, ‘Midnight Riders’ aims to represent the ideology of the subversive in not only fact and fiction, but fashion as well.
Black, pewter gray and grenadine red are colors present throughout the collection to set the tone and compliment the progressive and functional silhouettes by drawing attention to the details of each piece. New interesting pieces in this collection include; the ‘Krueger’, a unique play on a pullover jacket with a hidden hood underneath a high profile collar and the ‘Hammer’, a slouch-fit cotton canvas pant with contrasting grenadine red fabric pocket lining, welt back pockets and functional button details.
Clever silhouettes, unique details, and the use of simple colors to emphasize form and function while creating a true display of female strength, sensuality and independence that is: ‘Midnight Riders.’”
