MY FORTUNE

Dim sum is just so delicious and refreshing, and it's something I crave but rarely get to eat, so I was pretty excited to take my sister and mom on a girls lunch out.
I'm not sure if you're supposed to receive fortune cookies after you eat Dim Sum, but my mom just HAD to have one.
It's funny how you eat a cookie to help determine your future, and in most cases, these "fortunes" are clearly not what you expect. They turn out to be random guesses of what kind of person you are or what kinds of things you like to do, rather than telling you that you'll be ballin' in the future or if the next car you can afford is a brand spankin' new Bentley.
Well anyway, today made my day.
By the looks of what was in my cookie, it was my time to shine. Hands down, I had the best fortune, and no other piece of paper I pull out of fortune cookies in the future will come CLOSE to surpassing the greatness of what my fortune says:They even teach you Chinese.So now, I have Moo Shu Cereal (WTF) for breakfast with duck sauce (WTF) and then I'ma ask ya'll where ya'll are going in Chinese.
What now, bitches.

"'Lip' them. HEY! 'Lip' my stockings!"

This blog was started to bring awareness of global fashion trends, boutiques/stores and brand news, and other miscellaneous information in order to conjoin the urban sneaker/streetwear culture and couture/high end designer fashion scene.

Those that feel constricted reading blogs and visiting stores that concentrate merely on big-name, much too expensive designer brands while only encountering a mere handful of blogs and boutiques that emphasize the sneaker culture and urban streetwear scene should feel a little bit more at ease here.

Finding a hard time navigating back and forth reading about the new Chanel tweed blazer/Louboutin pumps and the hot Hellz Bellz collabo/Nike Blazers? Fear no more, LippedJeans will get all the fresh details, and ya only gotta open one tab in your Firefox. From fashion to art to music to architecture to hotels & travel to good eats and healthy tips, its a one stop click to blog-searching freedom.

So what's with the "LippedJeans" title? It's an effort to bring not only these two above lifestyles together, but also to harmonize the cultures of the East and the West.
Lost In Translation is an awesome movie that examines the clash between two cultures, through the lives of Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson and their interaction with the Japanese community in one of the busiest and advanced cities in the world.

The "lipped" comes from the scene shown in the video below, (possibly one of the funniest scenes in the movie perhaps due to Coppola's overall somber directing style) when the female 'entertainer' cannot correctly pronounce 'rip' in order to seduce Murray.

Consequently, "lipped" combines the clash of the American and Japanese cultures, and emphasizes that everyone attempts to adapt to a particular lifestyle, culture, or social phenomenon to correctly "define" themselves, like the woman in the scene.

We are always getting the best of two (or more) worlds, we can never define ourselves to one particular side: it's all about blurring the dividing line and bringing every aspect together - in harmony.

Wrapping it up, LippedJeans: Lipped as in loved, Lipped as in torn, however you interpret it, love the jeans (skin) you're in, and if they're too RIPPED, then, hey, ya gotta do somethin about it.

As women, it is possibly the most difficult thing in the world to find the perfect pair of jeans. So, for the most of us, love the jeans that you absolutely feel sexy and comfortable in (LIP LOCK EM) and wear em everyday if you want to (we won't tell) and rip those jeans up that signify the past, and find some new ones that you CAN lip lock and love. You deserve it, girl.

Now that you know what LippedJeans is all about, get your read on, and don't ever feel the pressure to conform to anything. We all don't know what we EXACTLY want, so sneakers or stilettos? Hell, wear both (hopefully not at the same time) and love it!

*Lipped Jeans focuses on the non-conformist female, but also caters to everyone in areas of music, fashion, and cultural trends.

LIPPED, LOCKED, LOVED.
