Meet Coco & Breezy...

Coco & Breezy are 19yr old twins who design & hand make

their own couture eye wear line "Gemela Amor".

I happened to stumble upon Coco & Breezy while on Facebook. I had never heard of them prior to that but I decided to add them simply because we had a lot of mutual friends.

&&& then a few days after, I spotted a picture of R&B singer Ashanti rocking a pair of shades made by Coco & Breezy.

I checked out their website and became an instant fan of their line. What I like about "Gemela Amor" is that the designs have a very industrial feel and every single design is unqiue.
Right now there seems to be this crazy amount of people making eyewear but they all seem to fall short of the creativity that Coco & Breezy's line embodies.

I also am very inspiried by their story. Recently moving to NYC to pursue their design dream full time, the sisters work together to make their eye wear and have managed to do it all by themselves by hustling &&& grinding their line to several people in the fashion industry.

With celebrities like: Ciara, Ashanti, Kelly Osbourne, Amber Rose, and more rocking ‘Gemela Amor by coco&breezy’, they are definitely going to be the ones to look out for in the year to come!

Here is a link to their blog & website:

I recently peeped a vid on GlobalGrind.com with the twins, that tells how they started & gives an introduction to who they are.

Amber & Kanye Fashion Stuntin' 101

Amber Rose was seen posing with her beau Kanye West while keeping her hands occupied within her Louis Vuitton Monogram Mink Bum Bag (about $6,000-$8,000)

**whoaaaa not that's very pricey fanny pack if you ask me!**

The bag which was designed by Marc Jacobs for the Fall 06 collection is a mink fur fanny pack with a multicolor monogram print and pockets. Of course Kanye West had to bring his fashion game alongside Amber's. He was spotted in a fur trimmed trench coat wearing a pair of Lanvin LV2114 Way Shiner sunglasses.

These shades suit Mr. West well!
Come on,why would he choose any other shade & go for a discreet appearance?!
The sunglasses features an acetate frame with Swarovski crystals encrusted on the temples; sooo only those who prefer a little more sparkle should rock these!!!

Usher's Shades...

Usher was spotted wearing a pair of Tom Ford sunglasses.

These are definetely a cool pair of shades! They have a light havana frame with a brown gradient lens & they also feature two interchangeable sets of lenses. That's practically two sunglasses in one!
