Alice + Olivia continues to keep us hungry for more. This fall the fabric, color, and texture of her line is beyond deep and beautiful. She designs with all women in mind, and we are transformed in these clothes.
You would deprive yourself the experience if you did not even just take a look at Stacey Bendet's fall 2010 collection for Alice + Olivia. We just can't get enough. You just don't look like a goddess warrior, YOU ARE ONE!
Kill City's Water Short Sleeve tee is featured in September Issue of Vogue, worn by Artist Ryan McNamara. Where do you get that RAD tee? Blue Bee of course.
Founder Drew in 1979 entered the punk rock scene where he found his unique style and sense of self. Kill City is a line for those who do not wear flip flops and board shorts. It is a line for sophisticated, musically driven people who rock a style all their own!
Kill City Men's denim is also creating quite a buzz. Featured in WWD's Project review, Rolling Stone, and Nylon Guys just to name a few, the Junkie and Mod jeans are not a fashion force to be reckoned with. The Mod is a casual straight leg cut adorned with Kill City's wicked washes, an awesome denim for the been there, done that guy. The Junkie is a sleek, super skinny cut with a cool 9 inch rise and is at the hex of fashions radical trends. Don't be scared......
Are you ready to wear Kill City?

Jason is wearing: 7 for All Mankind Slimmy Chester in Row, Splendid Mills Charcoal Rugby Stripe V tee, 7 for All Mankind Utility Canvas Jacket Concrete
As Fall 2010 is just around the corner you HAVE to get the essentials! And here is my take on what everyone should have ready to wear:
Women - Long Layering pieces, Stripes, Pattern mixing and Wide Leg Trousers.
Men - Utility Jacket, Skinny Straight leg jeans, V neck tees and Military Inspired boots.
I have a feeling that this Fall is going to be a RAD one!
In the beginning stages 10 years ago, Miracle Icons Owner and self taught Jewelry Designer, Mary Jo Pane responded to the world around her by offering support and love through a gift .... charm of St. Anthony. Beginning Mary Jo's expression of her belief in miracles and spiritual strength.
. “I see a lot of commercial junk, and so it’s always refreshing to come across a vendor who really has thought carefully about their intent and design,” says W Accessories Market Editor Beitressa Mandelbaum, who first featured Miracle Icons in the magazine’s June 2009 issue. “I think there’s always a need in the market for a strong fashion accessory, but it’s great when you can mix that aesthetic with something subtle and personal.”
Miracle Icons is now Blue Bee's most sought after jewelry for Men both in our Santa Barbara Store as well as Online. ASKMEN.COM comments on Miracle Icons uniqueness and what it brings to men's fashion and jewelry
"The Evil Eye Bracelet is rooted in a centuries-old belief that the talisman can ward off stares of envy that bring bad luck. Combined with wooden Buddha beads, it’s like wearing a box of Lucky Charms on your wrist. Fortunately, this spiritual pairing actually looks good and you don’t have to dig through a bucket of trinkets at some flea market to get your hands on it. Like the one-of-a-kind find at a bazaar, creations from Miracle Icons aren’t mass produced."
It is nothing short of a miracle that this New York woman's need to help and support those around her has turned in to a Jewelry line with a cult following, changed lives, soothed souls and seen on the wrists of Hard working Joe's to Rock Stars on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. Quoted from Miracle Icons website bio: “It’s for people who are looking for something to make them feel good, better, protected, in touch, whatever it may be.”
Mary Jo is truly one of the sweetest and supportive women I have come to know over the web through Blue Bee. I invite you to read her story on the Miracle Icons website and check out what Blue Bee has to offer for both Men and Women. Her Jewelry is definitely more than trendy adornment, it is truly an expression of belief in love.
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." --A. Einstein

Noelle is wearing my favorate outfit right now gathered from our first batch of Fall 2010 shipments. Eat, Pray, Love is so over pluged but I did it anyways because this outfit totally coensides with the beautiful Elle September editorial with Julia Robers that we just got in the store. AND it is a good book!
Summer is ending.
Summer does not end with out sunscreen exploding in my bag,
A good book I need to finish reading,
Evening time in the garage when it is still light outside crushing Diet Coke cans from Sunday's BBQ.
Summer is OFFICIALLY OVER for me when the new fall shoes start rolling in, and this year I can not tell you HOW EXCITED I AM to wear these beautiful H by Hudson boots with a warm sweater and my favorite scarf sipping coffee with the biggest smile on my face.
Produced in 1990 the creators of Hudson Shoes, seasoned by making shoes in Italy, set their sights on creating shoes that pioneer a fresh new look that has not been seen before. In 2004 H by Hudson was born and has been cultivating a following ever since. With in just a decade, Hudson has accued many accolades and yet still looks forward.
H by Hudson is the rebelious designers strecth to tweek the trends and litteraly keep us on our toes.....well not LITTERALY, REALLY.(but it sounded good right!)
They describe it as an "eclectic product mix" I call it "my new favorate boots"
Jason is wearing: Band Of Outsiders Shadow Stripe Shirt Blue/White, Joe's Jeans Brixton King,
Sperry Top Sider
Scott Sternberg once again infuses the fashion world with his sense of humor with his new line, "This is Not a Polo Shirt". It reminds me of the mockery of the Emperor's New Clothes, but the other way around.
Never the less, the dude knows how to get attention and he definitely has ours. The polo shirt is developed and produced with A-Girls Co. in Wakayama, Japan. In an article/interview with Scott, Rebecca Dana writes:“It was just to piss everyone off, including my lawyers,” he says. “But actually we’re totally scot-free.” He describes the line as “a meditation on Polo's,” using unusual fabrics like high-gauge pique and cotton-poly (“but not in a gross American Apparel way”) and playing with stripes and pockets. The logo on the shirts is “(logo).”
Is that why the Polo's are cut short? Maybe his lawyers have long torsoes! They run true to Band of Outsiders sizing......small, and yes, they run short. Many a man has laid down his ego and bought an XL when he always reaches for the Large and occasionally the Med. They are ment to be worn tight, tighter than I have on Jason.
I had a post ALL ready for this morning after our Sinclair Denim PKS(that's product knowledge seminar).....and then I got thrown off guard. There is so much detail to these darn jeans that how can I cover it up with all these washing instructions?(that was plan A)
So thank you plan B .....Because NOW I can show you all that I learned!
Sinclair is an extremely new denim brand that is only sold in 19 other small boutiques in the US, Blue Bee being one of them, and 1 department store Neiman Marcos. The first shipment of this denim line is called the "Essentials" which we are seeing now for both Women and Men.
A few points I would love to make....
1. EVERY PAIR OF DENIM IS HAND CUT....THE PATTERNS ARE NOT CREATED BY MACHINES. FOR THE MEN'S JEANS THIS DUDE ROBERTO....(I think) OR WAS IT ALEJANDRO? PHYSICALLY CUTS EVERY JEAN!! GNARLY!
2. NO TWO PAIR ARE ALIKE. THE RIVETS ARE MOVED AROUND, KEEPING THE LINE SPECIAL, INTERESTING AND YOU ON YOUR TOES.
3.THERE ARE LITTLE HIDDEN MESSAGES ALL OVER THE JEANS. THERE IS EVEN SOME CODE THAT SOMEONE SOMEDAY WILL BREAK.... MAYBE YOU?
4.THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING......
We will soon be seeing other levels of Sinclair that will blow you away..... Tailored, textured, tantalizing textiles sewn in to beautiful pieces for us to adorn.
The most amazing thing that happened this morning is that Daisy, Marty and John's Dog, LAID on the jeans. There was no getting off of them. of the 5 years that I have worked at Blue Bee, attended more PKS's than I can remember...she has never done this before.
There was just a lot of positive signs being thrown around today.....I hope you read them well.
