Short n' Sweet


Remember that game 5 Minutes in Heaven, where you were trapped in closet with a boy/girl....or both, if you were really ahead of the learning curve. Not Judging. Just saying. ANYWAY this mixtape is like 20 minutes of that minus the guilt and everybody asking what y'all did in there. No while I rarely (ie: never) big up mixtapes and shit like that.....This is different. I mean who puts Paul Simon, El Debarge, Sting and Jodeci on a mixtape?

NinaSky must be out to increase the population
....cuz this ones a BABY MAKER!! HOTT DAMN!!!

Today's Lesson: Get you some chocolate and download this mixtape.
That's all....

l'Homage: Debbie Harry



Cover me with kisses baby
Cover me with love
Roll me in designer sheets
I'll never get enough
Emotions come I don't know why
Cover up love's alibi





Once I had a love
and it was divine
soon found out
i was losing my mind

ONCE RIPE, NOW LUMINOUS


Bopping about town, south of 14st that is, one can come across many people. Given. And of those people, this is an enclave of talented, driven and creative individuals. Given. And of this enclave, there is an even smaller niche of creatives that are truly working and hustling to bring their visions to life. Given. And of this niche there is a handful that will see the promise of their talent and hard work come to fruition. Not so given. And of this handful, I have met Folasade Ologundudu.


RIPE, Ologundudu’s first foray into jewelry, celebrated the voluptuous forms and the feminine mystic. Inspired by the sophistication of her male counterparts and noticing the absence of jewelry that suited their avant garde style, she created LUMINARY to fill the void.

The Guillotine Bracelet and The Blind Ring


With this new line entitled The Space Blockade; Ologundudu shifts her focus from the supple sinuous silhouette of RIPE to the asymmetry and angular form of LUMINARY. Architecture, geometry and negative spaces served as components for the visual synthesis of these jewels. A lesson in contrasts to say the least, Ologundudu shows that she is no one trick pony when it comes to her art.


The Modern Architect Earring


The Guillotine Cutter


Defining a LUMINARY as “one who inspires others , leading light” Miss Ologundudu invites us to share “our experiences and ideas, our passions and dreams, in the most intimate of ways; in the way you dress, style yourself, and see the world around you.”

PS: She did the Art direction for the amazing-ass look book too!
