Lust List: Rodarte Tees.



I've never been a t-shirt man.
Reason being that t-shirts don't look good on me, at least not yet.

But ever since I saw these Rodarte t-shirts I've been lusting after them!


Kanye, Drake and Rihanna have all been spotted wearing one version or the other of these tees. For Men, the "RADARTE" tee is available online in two colors at the Opening Ceremony website for $ 105.

For women you have those two available in addition to the Outlined Heart Rodarte Prom tee for $ 100.

Should I get the one in Blue or Red? Decisions, decisions, decisions!

Miss Banks

Azealia Banks is a 21 year-old femcee and self-proclaimed "vocalist" hails from Harlem. She shot to fame last December, 2011 when she released her debut single "212" in the UK.

Suddenly, she sitting front row at Fashion Week, Karl Lagerfeld (gasp!) started sending her customized sweaters and the likes of Kanye West started praising her.

Within a couple of months she has stirred controversy by hiring Lady Gaga's manager, only to drop him two months later. Started "beef" with Iggy Azalea and Lil' Kim.

Her first EP "1991" was released last month, and now Miss Banks is readying a mixtape aptly titled "Fantasea."

I think she's great, she's young, new & fresh and definitely going somewhere. Her latest single, "Liquorice" is directed by fashion photographer Rankin and styled by Lady Gaga‘s stylist and Thierry Mugler creative director Nicola Formichetti.


Enjoy the Western-themed video below & the video for her debut single, "212."
