Liipstik Lust Have -- Burberry Prorsum Gabardine biker trench coat

I have been completely obsessed with this coat for the las couple days ever since I saw it featured in an ad campaign on the pages of Elle magazine. Burberry has created a jacket that combines the trench coat silhouette with the edgy elements of a biker jacket. Therefore you can be biker chic all while wearing a classic trench. Completely adore this idea of infusing two contrasting looks into one piece and believe me if I can, I will get my hands on that jacket and wear it as a dress because it is just that hot! This jacket was featured in Burberry Prorsum's RTW Spring 2011 collection and retails for $2,795, cheap right? Lol.

*sidenote I love that picture of Jourdan Dunn and I'm glad she has bounced back into the modelling game right after her baby but I am super mad they couldn't even show her that her knee and ankle were ashy, not a good look!

FreshMen -- Louis Vuitton Mens S/S 2011

“It’s a rhapsody of three virtual scenarios for a digital bohemian, a man who travels the world from behind his computer screen.”-Paul Helbers

That statement from Paul Helbers the studio director, described the direction in which fashion house Louis Vuitton had chosen to go when creating the bags for the S/S 2011 mens collection. The collection still maintained its staples the weekend bag and shoulder bag but also added a few designs to the mix to appeal to different kind of men. A lot of men don't really do the whole "murse" (man purse) thing but I feel like Louis Vuitton is showing that you can have a nice bag and it doesn't have to look feminine.

The distressed "Articles de voyage" denim shoulder bag is one of my faves and is definitely a new edition to the brands classic collection. The black "Utah" bag with the tribal tattooed inspired monogram on the front is another Liipstik fave because it is masculine yet very fashionable, versatile well crafted and sleek! Which bag caught your eye Freshmen?

"Why'd You Leave me on Christmas?" Ask B2K!!

I remember when B2K was the best thing since cotton candy and prior to the group splitting up they released a Christmas album. Now I was a J-Boog fan and I used to get dreamy eyes every time he hit the screen and I swear I vowed I would never leave him on Christmas if he made me his girl lol.

My siblings and I would sing this song even when it wasn't Christmas although my brothers seem to have selective memory and "don't remember" their dramatic renditions of the Christmas song. This song brought back so many memories of my B2K obsession lol I'm sure many of you ladies can relate! I hope you guys enjoy this song and drop us a line to tell us which B2K member you had a crush on!

All I want for Christmas is...

... the Chloe Aurore leather duffle bag. This luxury piece is priced at $1,815 and has had a starring role in many of my dreams lol. I'm not even joking, when I'm jet-setting from Milan to Tokyo I'm usually holding this purse in my hand. I know I'm cutting it kind of close with this new Christmas wish seeing as though Christmas is 4 days away but I definitely hope to see it under my tree.

Its sophisticated and sleek and has this timeless quality about it, I know that regardless of the season I can still rock my Chloe and it will always be fashionable. Spending close to 2 stacks on a bag may seem crazy but if its something that you know you will always use it becomes worth it. Thats my way of justifying my need for this bag and I'm sticking to it lol, check more pics of the purse below!

All i want for Christmas is...

...this Mary Katranzou strapless fan dress! I know at first glance it looks like a vase but its not, this dress is absolutely stunning! I don't know where I would be wearing this stunning piece of art but its definitely a show stopper that needs to find its way into my closet. I'm a fan of animal print and this zebra print is far from tacky, I feel like it exudes an elegance that is hard to accomplish at times with similar prints.

This dress is $ 1,255!! I don't know why I'm acting surprised lol I fully knew the price and didn't care hence the reason I posted the dress, I've already created an outfit in my head for this dress so it must be mine! I hope Santa is taking notes!

All he wants for Christmas is...Dre Beats Headphones!!

Ask any dude what they want for Christmas and I almost guarantee that Beats by Dre headphones will be one of the items on the list. I have actually listened to music on these bad boys and its phenomenal, its like you're listening to music in surround sound. The quality is impeccable and the bigger headphones can act as ear muffs in the winter lol.

Honestly these headphones are the perfect gift and I know you're thinking its expensive but it is truly worth it cash. The Studio headphones are $349, the Solo headphones are $249 and the Tour earbuds are $179. Look at it like this if you get your boyfriend or brother these headphones you can always listen to your ipod with 'em so it benefits you as well! Lol, check the styles below!

All i want for Christmas is....

...Karen Millen necklace artwork peep toe pumps! These pumps are HOT, the detailing is so unique and fun and the heel is sky high just like I like them. To me these shoes are definitely something I would see Carrie Bradshaw and myself in lol. You can rock them with a cute holiday dress or even skinny jeans and a leather. Here I go again *sigh* adding yet another pair of shoes to my Christmas wish-list. I just hope I get at least one of my "wants" this Christmas. These shoes are reasonably priced and go for about $225, in my opinion these are a steal! They're feminine and unique and are sure to turn heads wherever you go!

Shopping can be really hard during the holiday season especially if you have to buy for someone who is very particular about what they like. Living in a house with males I am oh to familiar with this scenario and find that the men in my family are the hardest to shop for. I mean you would think that it would be easy considering they don't have that many options but believe me its not. Liipstik has compiled some of their favourite pieces that are perfect for gift giving. Absolutely loving the Supreme auburn leather jacket, its dope and the man in your life that gets this coat will love you beyond measure lol. The entire fit is trendy yet still masculine and will keep your dude warm during the cold winter nights. Looking this fly there's no way you'll succumb to the winter blues!

All i want for Christmas is....

..these Sam Edelman Alexander Strapped Hi Top Trainers!! I can be a sneaker girl when I want to, the trick is to find balance in whatever your wearing and I definitely like to switch up my style from time to time. Even though I've been over the whole spike/stud phenomenon, I can definately rock with these though, subtle accents of the edgy hardware adds the perfect twist to your good girl gone bad look! These sneakers come in 2 colour-ways, off-white and dusty blue and they cost $235, money ain't a thing when your balling like me...NOT!! This has officially been added to my Christmas list and Santa better be nice this year or else! *waves fists*. Check more pics of the kicks below!!

All I want for Christmas is....

..this Proenza Schouler PS1 bag! Loves, Loves, Loves! It's cute and versatile and it will hold all the crap I put in my bag like my Mac, teabags, magazines, wallet, highlighters lol you know, the usual. This purse is definitely not cheap, but can you really put a price-tag on your happiness? I know I can't but at the same time my bank account sure can which sucks *womp womp*. This bag costs $1,995, which is like a small token to show your love for some one, right? I know I'm buggin' but I can't help it, I love buying for others but I still like to buy for myself, its clear that as you get older the goodies don't roll in as much as they used to. If you can dig down and find the great big spender within, this would be a perfect gift for a loved one!

Goodie Bag/Lingerie Fab -- Nichole de Carle

As you guys have already discovered I have a thing for pretty knickers, lingerie in particular, I just feel like you can never have too much of those fun frilly things. Not really referring to the teddys cuz they're not my style, but the fun bra and panty combo's that really aren't meant to be worn under your jeans and tees.

I discovered this UK designer by the name of Nichole de Carle that designs amazing lingerie. The pieces are so dope, loving the cut-outs and the bondage-esque type vibe, they're super fun and belong in my drawer, I'm just saying! All in all these would be a great gift if you're into that sort of thing and because I am I may have to invest in some of these lol. On a side note only purchase these or any lingerie if you know the recipient on an intimate level. It would be weird to receive these goodies from an acquaintance. Check more styles below!
