OUT: HAIR STUDDING / IN: VALENTINO STUDDING

Oh, Kesha. You're like the mess that keeps on giving, God love ya girl. I mean it's already one thing to succumb to that shaved side-of-the-head thing that only looks good on Rihanna and Cassie, but then covering said area with pyramid studs? Nah, you lost me. I love how serious she looks in the photo too, fully feeling herself and everything. At least she's not doing it to her genitals though...

When it comes to studs in high fashion, nobody is currently killing it more than Valentino. Now please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm almost positive that the (gorgeous) bag above is a Valentino creation - it's the first time I'm seeing a fully-studded piece like this, they're usually just subtly lining the bag. Either way, I adore it, as well as their shoes, gloves, and all other perfectly studded objects. Just the right amount of bad-assness a simple outfit needs!



OUT: GREY LIPS / IN: FLAWLESS 'NATURAL' MAKEUP

One can only imagine what Paz de la Huerta sees in the mirror before going out - most likely a sultry film muse - but the sad reality is that she always shows up places looking like she gave multiple rim jobs minutes earlier. Or maybe it's just that her mouth looks like a butthole itself? I'm not even totally sure, all I know is that it's absolutely horrible. No more grey lipstick for you, Paz! And you might want to fix your extension...it's kinda creeping out of the bottom there.

Fucking Rihanna though! I really have a love/hate thing with her. Part of me is jealous that I'll never be as beautiful and caramel-like as her, nor will I smoke blunts with Snoop or break up weed on my bodyguards head, but then another part of me feels like she's trying too hard to be badass. We know you're cool Ri, you don't have to keep taking pictures of yourself giving the finger every day. But all that aside, look how perfectly she does that 'natural' makeup. Good hair, flawless skin, and working that small cleavage like a Goddess. Yum, I bet her skin tastes like maduros...



OUT: DRUG RUG TRIBAL PRINTS / IN: TROPICAL & PHOTO PRINTS

Sorry if you're still on this trend, but I'm sooo over tribal/navajo/drug rug prints. There's a few times when I've seen it look cool in moderation, Isabel Marant style, but otherwise it pisses me off with it's trendiness. Girls who wear this tend to have tons of flimsy jewelry and floppy suede hats and round sunglasses, and I'm just not bout that life. 

As far as prints go, I obviously love the classics like leopard and camo, but lately I'm really feeling tropical flora and photo prints. It's been owning the runways for the last year or so - adore the Jimmy Choo surf/sunset clutches - and now that summers rolling around it'll be more appropriate then ever. How amazing is that little skirt? So gorgeous with the ankle heels!



OUT: SHREDDED JEANS / IN: SLICED JEANS

The only chicks that can get away with wearing those ridiculously-ripped jeans where your whole leg is exposed are tan-ass valley girls and Brazilian women - and homegirl above is obviously none of those. I mean yikes, if you're gonna let your knees rock like that at least rub some tinted moisturizer on those shits. They look like Paz' lips for Christs sake.

The cutie on the right, however, knows what's up. I already love the simplicity of her outfit in general - comfy boyfriends shirt, little flats and sunglasses, pony tail to keep it casual - and then bam - a hint of sexiness with the slits in her denim. Had her knees been all blown out like her less-fortunate counterpart on the left, she wouldn't look nearly as put together.

At first I thought she was just one of those super realistic looking sex dolls, which I'm oddly obsessed with, but apparently she's a real human and even posts makeup tutorials on Youtube. Oh, and she sings too. Here are a few flicks of her to get your curiosity in motion, just click here to peep more...

]]> <![CDATA[LEAH MCSWEENEY HAS ARRIVED!]]> http://mttmnyc.com/blog/postleah-mcsweeney-has-arrived http://mttmnyc.com/blog/postleah-mcsweeney-has-arrived Fri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT After months of hard work and exhausting preparations, the Leah McSweeney collection is here at last! Created for the MOB with slightly more sophisticated taste, the line consists of gorgeous leggings, vibrant dresses, sexy swimwear, and some cute tops for good measure. Released in small quantities to ensure max quality, everything is made right here in good ol' NYC, and it's pretty much like getting to buy a piece of Leah's wardrobe. Inspired by her favorite trends and what she'd personally like to wear, it's a total embodiment of her overall style.

To help promote and celebrate the launch, Leah also joined forces (again) with our good friends over at Casio Baby G, creating a video with OG MOB homie and photographer, David Shadi Perez. Shot out in Paris, Leah roams around town in her hot pink Leah McSweeney mini and light-up Baby G, searching the streets for someone or something. Who/what that might be is up for the viewer to decide. Here's the official write-up on the short...


C'était un Rendez-vous is the story of a girl following her bliss on the road less travelled. Watching her wander the rainy streets of Paris, from Montmartre to Pigalle, we see a glow-in-the-dark Baby G lighting her path every now and then. She's living her individual adventure, traveling to The City of Lights in search of what excitement life has to offer - and not apologizing for it. The outcome of her search is unknown, but then again nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be...




Beats by NiRE! Now onto the collection, modeled by Whitney and shot by PRINCE & JACOB...

























To shop the collection now, check out the brand new LEAH MCSWEENEY website > HERE < - enjoy!

I stumbled across the works of Somefield a few weeks ago, and something about her vibrant, super-girly illustrations really caught my eye. They're kinda like the doodles you might see in Nylon's beauty section, but with a slightly darker edge and more finesse...

And not for nothing but...there's a fucking ton. I couldn't help myself though, it was one of the craziest experiences of my life, so surreal that only photos could truly prove it's existence. Shout out to my Dad for always exposing us to the illest shit and of course, the incredible Hennessy team/fam for making the trip happen. Now time to get fancy!

France was a total dream, but 10 days away from home and my babies is still too long. I had a great trip back though, was the first one through customs and the first out of the airport into a cab home, so I was quickly reunited with my babies and blunts. Unfortunately it seems like my main computer is having problems - so I'm writing this off my Dillz shitty back-up until I figure things out. That means it might be a day or two before I can get my trip pictures up! But until then, here's a city-themed Miss Dillz Cherie to celebrate my return to modern civilization!

Sadly she died back in 81 (homegirl was born in 1901, fyi) but she left behind an immense archive of mythical artwork, from Thumbelina to Donkeyskin, though my faves are easily the Alice series. For a little trip into nostalgia, peep my selections below...

I miss my Coco, my man, my fam, my friends, and perhaps most importantly - my trashy American TV. I'm in full withdrawals from Housewives, Basketball Wives, Big Rich Texas, and all that other horribly good shit in-between. I'd even take Shahs of Sunset right now! Not that I can't watch it all online of course, but it's not the same as when I'm snuggled on the couch with a blunt. In honor of my return to obnoxious programming, I'm posting this video from Beverly Hills Fabulous that I've been meaning to share for months now - just never found the right moment. "I've never been attacked by so many little hungry puppies in my life". Ugh, miss you America!

It's my 2nd full day in Lorgues, the little village where my Mamie and Papo live, right next to the town where I was born. Compared to further up North in Cognac, the weather is absolutely amazing, and so far I've pretty much spent my days eating Grandmas amazing cooking or just taking power naps till sundown. I absolutely love it, but at the same time there's that anxious side of me that feels I should be working. Fuck it though, these kinds of vacations only roll around once in a blue moon so I'm making the best of it. I'll be back in NY Tuesday evening with a few posts to hold you over until then, like this very belated Dillz list. If you wanna keep up with the adventures as they come, don't forget to follow me on instagram @Tabathammm!















































Hm, can you tell I have a crush on Rocky?

I can't complain though, these last 4 days have been some of the most incredible I've ever experienced. Just to paint the picture for you, I'm typing this in a giant greenhouse surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers while rain beats down on the glass panes outside - and it just happens to be Chateau de Bagnolet, Hennessy's private estate. Not fucking mad at it. Tomorrow morning I'll be leaving Cognac to visit my grandparents down South, so as soon as I'm in the calm midi I promise I'll get some more posts and pictures up. Until then, hope you enjoy this little selection off my Instagram (@Tabahammm) - I wish I could stay here forever!





Not for nothing but - flying private is NOT overrated.





A few lovely shots of the Henny gardens.



Breakfast in the lovely Greenhouse.





200 year old Cognac!



And a special blend I created using 3 different eau de vies - tasty stuff. More to come soon!
