Loving W's new fashion film by Hans Neumann starring musician Sarah Ruba, who recently launched a solo act. The short film is inspired by the movie The Passenger by Michelangelo Antonioni and most importantly it is styled by the amazingly talented and creative, Megan Ross. Megan is one of MONIKHA B's muses, so you'll being seeing a lot of her throughout this blog because she never seizes to inspire us!

I'm obsessed with her and her 80's Sade look and vibe in the video "Running".
Definitely the soundtrack of this week is all about "DEVOTION".

I go to StyleLikeU for inspiration all the time. In this video, Elisa Goodkind (if you know her, you know the last name says it all!) and her beautiful daughter Lily Mandelbaum share the motivation behind the creation of their amazing personal style website. I go to http://stylelikeu.com/ to visit with interesting creative individuals, see their closets and hear what makes them tick. It's always a great moment waiting to happen. Watch their video "Your Soul Can't be Bought" and I hope you feel as inspired by them and the people they visit with as I do.

 

 

MUSIC FOR THE SOUL

I'm quite obsessed with Breakbot. I find him so talented and spot on with everything - from beats to lyrics to collaborations. I always listen to Breakbot especially when I come South to design my collection.

... Lately I've had a soft spot for the  "Another Dawn" music video...

  Megan Ross

 

Megan Ross is one of my eternal Girl Crushes - not only is she an incredible stylist but she epitomizes what I consider to be the ultimate chic, modern woman. She travels the world, works with a smile and always looks gorgeous be it in Morocco, Paris or Brooklyn. 

 

 

Megan pairing the MOLENGA TOTE with Ladurée Macarons in NYC 

 

I was insanely happy when she started carrying the MOLENGA TOTE around town because I knew that with Megan, the MOLENGA was going places and wherever it went it was going in style. ... AND of course I just had to ask her what she was carrying around in her MOLENGA. 

 

LV wallet, umbrella,Tom Ford Sunnies with necklace chain, Metrocard, keys w/ gym card, ipad, iphone, Rosebud salve, Clarins, sunscreen SPF 40, Shu Uemura powder compact, Dentyne fire gum, Listerine strips, sharpies, pens, hi-lighter, i-charger, Nars lip pencil and crayon, Pin ups girl datebook, Liz Taylor/Cleopatra notebook, good luck charm given to me on the street by a Monk. ALL THAT IN THE MOLENGA TOTE:)

What her bag tells me: She's elegant, she knows fashion, appreciates quality, she's loyal, she's organized, she's spiritual, she has great skin, she works out, she likes music, she likes to get places fast & can be ready in the blink of an eye!

SAGA DAWA is one of the most important and cherishable Tibetan Buddhist festivals, held each year on the full moon day of the fourth lunar month of the Tibetan calendar, to celebrate Sakyamunis enlightenment.  It is said that the month of Saga Dawa is so sacred that any merit obtained for the performance of a good deed or religious practices (e.g. reciting of mantras) is doubled. Good deeds here we come:)
