Stolen Moments: "I get my pallets from the sky..."

Location: On a side street somewhere...

Name: Mz Keyz

One of my most fav movies in terms of cinematography is New York, I Love You.  It doesn't have a spectacular screenplay, nothing that would warrant an Oscar. But I just loved it for the simple fact of just how simple it was.  It's a short romantical film compromising of eleven different encounters with love or lust, all taking place within the five boroughs of New York and all directed by eleven different directors.

The part of the film that sticks out the most to me is when a cabbie is randomly chatting and references the sky above and says "I get my pallets from the sky".  I don't know why, but I just fell in love with that sentence. It's the first thing that pops in my head whenever I look up and see all those beautiful hues that only sunsets or sunrises can create.

This rosary is made from freshwater pearls and moulded shimmering clay.  The middle seal is engraved with the word "Bless" and the shaped cross is engraved with "Psalm 84".

Stolen Moments: The Oracle

Location:  Fry Chi Sports Bar and Restaurant, Montego Bay, Jamaica

A lot of Jamaica's architecture is based on old structures that have been renovated for commercial use.  The ghost of it's colonial history remains in many places and this bar was no exception. 

It's like seeing through the looking glass or one of the oracles in The Neverending Story. Old meets new in an uncanny fusion balancing commercial growth and sustaining history.

Street Style: Travel Benefits aka Bragging Rights

And by "Travel Benefits" I mean 2 things:  Off MCM's latest collection, the Cognac Visetos signature backpack AND the fact that wearing this backpack (or any brand new MCM bag) means that you had to travel internationally to get it (and I don't mean ebay shipping dude.)

Many an old foot may recognize the MCM logo. It was adorned on old school hip hop artists back in the day, along with many of fashion's elite when it was tagged under the name of German designer Michael Cromer Munchen, who started the brand in the 1970's. Nowadays, it's been reinvented as Mode Creation Munich but still very much keeping to the true roots of it's "artisanal expertise of German craftsmanship".

Every time I run into Sebastian, he's oozes the definition of Glastonbury cool.  What's that you say? I dunno I just made it up. But he IS it.  Individual, laid back, freshly dipped, roll then rock, don't worry...I got this. 

Be on the look out because he's a budding stylist and he has plenty of promising potential!
