G Dragon Models for BSX wearing chrome hearts cross earring

Ooooh myyyy gooosh he’s soooo cute!


So I promised myself two things. 1st that I would never fan girl on this blog and two that I would never post clothing brand spokesmodel photos. But oh my gosh GD is so cute as the new spokesmodel photos for BSX. I was working on my part two of the Crayon MV finds (part one here) when I came across these photos. After about the third one I was like ..yeah..I’m posting these. But in my defense I did find something in the photos. In the last photo below GD is wearing earrings by Chrome Hearts. So there… yeah… not fan girl-ing. Chrome Hearts buy link below photos.


(EDIT: After looking at this post I realized the rings he’s wearing in the photos are also from Chrome Hearts. You can find them by click on the earring buy link and searching rings on the Chrome Hearts website.)

“Braxton Family Values” star is rocking a sleek pair of frames by Chrome Hearts

Reality TV Fashion reader Elan writes: “Good Morning Yakini, I am hoping it is possible for you to chrome hearts eyeglasses. I initially thought they were Versace (and they have a pair very similar) but upon watching last night’s episode with close-ups – I discovered they are not. I appreciate you reading this email. Thank you – a huge fan of your blog.” Shortly after I received this email from Elan she wrote me back with a response to her own query (thanks girly)! Turns out the sassy and outspoken “Braxton Family Values” star is rocking a sleek pair of frames by American luxury lifestyle brand Chrome Hearts. The glasses feature a matte black lightweight magnesium frame with ebony wood temples featuring the distinct metal arch logo Goodness includes: Coffee Belt by Phenomenon, Neon denim pants by Swagger, T-Shirt by Chrome Hearts, fitted-cap by HUF, and Nike Air Yeezys by Nike & Kanye West (not pictured), hotness by Tae Yang himself. Chrome Hearts boutiques are located on 159 East 64th Street and 870 Madison Avenue in NYC, Los Angeles, Malibu, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Hong Kong, Japan, London, Paris, Taipei and Seoul. For a splurge you can buy the high-end frames brand new to the tune of $1000+, or you can try your luck at a gently used pair on eBay. This Saturday, September 19th, will see the release of the “A BATHING APE × CHROME HEARTS t shirt” collaboration in the form of T-shirts. They will be available at BAPE stores in men’s, women’s and children’s sizes, each with a design unique to the store. The collection also includes an extremely limited edition of “BABY MILO Plush” CHROME HEARTS × BABY MILO shirts that is limited to 12 pieces worldwide. So I really don’t know what and how to think of this. Yes, Youngbae looks fabulous like he normally does, but look closely at his belt. Yes, you’re not going crazy, his belt buckle is a cofee cup lid. I’m from Seattle, coffee capital of the world, so I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. What do you think?

Chrome Hearts: The brand’s luxurious yet gritty accessories

Chrome Hearts’ founder is L.A.-based Richard Stark (pictured), a fashion entrepreneur who fully embraces the easy-going So-Cal attitude that he injects into his label. For the new shop, Stark was adamant about creating a relaxed, make-yourself-comfy atmosphere, so he put home at the heart of Chrome: a fully functional living space including bedroom, living area, kitchen and bathroom bedecked in Chrome Hearts furniture sits on the top floor. Outside of the building itself is a half-basketball court and, next to it, an open-brick BBQ pit, showing how seriously laid-back Stark is. Silver-accessories brand Chrome Hearts launched its Aoyama shop nine years ago, but has recently reopened its doors after a renewal that’s given it a fresh charm — one that’s much more than just something dangly for your bracelet. The brand’s luxurious yet gritty accessories, including silver, leatherwear and eyewear, have propelled it to popularity since 1988, with fans ranging from Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld (who wears more than one Chrome Hearts ring on the same finger) to Japanese super-rockers L’Arc~en~Ciel. For the reopening of the shop, famous friends such as Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols graced Stark’s fashion “family” with intimate performances. With a cozy gallery on the basement floor, any shopper can truly make themselves at home before leaving with some wicked Chrome. Resources from http://www.chromeheartsapparel.com.
