Best Boutiques Around

I thought it would be a good idea to compose a list of the greatest boutiques across all continents. This will be your one stop shop for all the best shops that offer anything from clothing, to furniture, to jewelry, to the smallest bits of sparkle that seem to complete the look of your entire great room. I want this to be an open forum, where everyone can make suggestions and share their experiences during their retail "meet cute"!

So the first entry onto this list will be on the new location of I AM, that recently re-opened just 2 doors down from it's previous location. I love the new presentation of the shop. When you walk through the front door you can get a quick glance of most everything that the store has to offer, then with each step, you seem to uncover a little treasure. And trust me when I say the jewelry table is intoxicating. I nearly bought one of everything. Here is a glance of what can be found, and at an amazing price point...$12 for this cute, little delight! (Sorry, but the one with the turquoise is mine)



The shop also offers an elite assortment of denim, from True Religion to William Rast. And it's been rumored that they might start carrying G-star, which means I won't have to travel all the way to upstate New York for my g-star fix...Feel free to indulge here anytime...located at 7700 Delmar Blvd in University, MO or if you prefer not to wait, go ahead and dabble in a little online shopping now. http://www.iam-stores.com

"Rules" by Nato Caliph

RULES from Nato Caliph on Vimeo.



Caution: this video contains some powerful imagery and lyrics. Prepare to be amazed!!

This is Nato's first "official" video, and we all had a blast during the shoot. I played the behind the scenes role, and assisted by styling the young woman known as "Isis" in the video. You may also notice there were some scenes shot at one of the local hip hop spots, The Gramophone (located in the grove). I hope you can enjoy and appreciate this piece as much as I do...Peace
