"Lucky Pic(s)" of the day....................Special Occasion

As many of you know, this site is starting to draw attention and I thank you who are reading this now for that. Yesterday, I didn't post up my "Lucky Pic" of the day for many reasons, and one of those reasons was positive feedback. My email was flooded with emails from people who are starting to notice what LuckysinLove.com is about. So for today, I am posting up not one but two of my favorite pics from yesterday.......Drumroll please.....Ladies and Fellowmen, I bring you "Luckys Pic(s)" of the day:

Bradley from Jamaica, NY


What makes this look good? In all honesty, the kid brings it in this pic. The shrug clearly shows you what kind of swag he has. It simply says "what else did you expect?".......The argyle is a clear definition of not just char. but sophistication. He picked the right size in the argyle because we've all seen people with either too baggy or it just doesn't fit correctly. Acc. are minimum if any. The spread collar shape that works for all ages and neck shapes and lastly, the big knot on the tie (clip-ons are no bueno). Of course I saved the best for last, the biltmore style hat (I don't know if its a pinch front) that he clearly purchased to go along with this ensemble.........

Thank you Bradley, for keeping "your cool
"


Kim From Long Island, NY



"Oh how sweet it is".........This is one of those pics that you on first glance brings a smile to your face. 1, because she is doing the cliche "peace" sign and 2, because you can tell she is joking with the photog. But, you look at it again, and you notice something; this girl is "cool".......She is that girl, "FRESH".....Peep the colors, simple right? No, these colors are nicely put together......lets start witht he shirt in the true blue and the simple jeans, to the acc. that show her char. The simple bangle earings, and the necklace to the bracelet. But then youlook at what all these things match up with, the UGG boots.........the rustic outlined in blue all over match not just her jewelry, and true blue, but Kim.......These boots are not just hard to find, but hard to match up with.

Thank you Kim, for staying "true", dig?

FUERZABRUTA.....................This is a Repost, because y'all just don't get it, do you?


This is the next show on my calender. I am a huge fan of art and broadway shows, but when a show comes from Argentina, and it boasts a cast of unknowns willing to risk life and limb for your entertainment, does it get as big of a buzz?

In this case, yes. Fuerzabruta aka "Brute Force" is a show that stimulates your senses. It's an hourlong show that keeps you on your feet (you don't have a choice on that). It's as if you are a club goer who just happened to be stuck in a rave, but everything around you is moving with no one acknowledging your existence. It's trippy.......LoL.........I've posted some pics and videos for your enjoyment!



Check This Video Out...........CRAZY!!!






CLAE..................THE RUSSELL!

The Russell is not a sneaker.....It's not a shoe. What can it be? The Russell is described as a hybrid and since y'all loved the spring collection I posted a couple of days back, I bring it back, come rewind. Check out the colorways on the Russell, SICK'NIN:

"Oh My Goodness, you have to tell me what had happened"

I'm sitting on the LIRR right now behind two of the most abrasive and outspoken black females I have ever encountered. I am in no shape or form an eavesdropper, but seriously, how loud and foul mouthed can they get........Every fourth word is a bleep........."HELP ME BABY JESUS"!

Spring 2008......................ALIFE Footwear

ALIFE did the credit card commercial and as expected, everyone called them sellouts. The thing is they never dissapoint when it comes to exclusives products. Check out some of their up and comings for the spring 2008:









Lucky Pic of the day.............When Did We Stop Smiling in Pics, huh?

Mayzie From Brooklyn

Colors are pure perfection in this picture, because she clearly knows what colors will sit right on/ with her. From the shoes (rustic gold) the the jewelry which is kept at a minumum, to the knited top that is just an addition to help define her style. I could go on a rant detailing every single thing in this picture, but I'd rather not go over EVERYTHING. First thing I need you to look at is the header on this picture, then I need you to look at what she's doing in this picture, smiling. Smiles have actually become rare in photography, and when you do see them, they actually looked forced. Does she look like she's forcing this smile?

Thank you Mayzie for being truly happy!

I Need A Vacation.................Someone Take Me To Okeanos!

Okeanos Spa/Banya
211 east 51st street new york, ny 10022


"A visit to OKEANOS need not be a solo trip. Come with friends and colleagues. Enjoy traditional communal rituals and modern spa therapies. Escape the way men of power have for centuries.

OKEANOS may have its foundation in tradition but truly it is a modern retreat welcoming men and women who connect with our message of authenticity and integrity".

I have a lot of traveling to do this year, and 60% of the trips are business related. I am sitting in this office 12hours a day, and I am in need of some relaxation. A friend of mine gave me this contact, and I'm not a spa guy, but damn it looks good. Enjoy:

Places to take that special someone on Valentines Day............

I know Valentines Day is a week off, and some of you are thinking "who cares?". To answer that question, many people do care, and if you're going to do it, please do it correctly. There is nothing more unatractive to a woman than a man who doesn't have a plan when taking her out on Valentines Day. So I figure, let me help you out a bit. Call any of these places now, and not only will you reserve the romantic table your girl craves, you'll also avoid the predatory gougings of ubiquitous mandatory prix-fixe menus. Enjoy your options below, and be sure to check next week for more:


Smith's
79 Macdougal St, between Houston and Bleecker 212.260.0100
Dine up front in the mirrored-ceiling, Pullman car-style dining room, or in back at the darkly be-velveted bar.


Le Cirque
151 E 58th St, between Lexington and 3rd; 212.644.0202
This gilded French resto's high-ceilinged, open dining room still oozes big money. The last Le Cirque was housed in the grand, pseudo-European confines of the Villard Houses. The new one sits on the bottom floor of the Bloomberg corporate headquarters and looks out over an impressive stone courtyard surrounded by a curving façade of glass and steel.


dell'Anima
38 8th Ave, at Jane; 212.366.6633
Sporting 50 seats and two bars, this bustling, inventive Italian spot's celebrating VD with "Wines of the 90s"; just add a few extra ingredients and your night is sure to be "the best"!


Hudson River Cafe
697 East 133rd St, at 12th; 212.491.9111
Hit this way-uptown cafe's heated patio for resplendent views of the GWB, the shores of Jersey, river flotsam. This alone should win you some points to start off the night.


Kingswood
121 W. 10th St, near Greenwich; 212.645.0018
Hit this intimate, ivy-frilled Aussie spot for dishes like herb-crusted rack of lamb and prosciutto papadelli ( I checked with that name and believe me, it sounds the way it looks).

Check Out These Hats From StillLife.................

A fashion trend that was oh so popular in the days of vaudeville and somehow became extinct in the mid 90's has been slowly coming back. When you looked around New York in the fall of 2007, you noticed something different, hats! Hats where being worn again, and when I say hats, I am in no way referring to fitted Nu Era caps. I am talking about Derby's, Fedora's, Baker Boys and even Bins (LL used to rock em) are all coming back. So in honor of such a beautiful happening in our lives, I woke up this morning, put on my derby and figured I do this, enjoy:

Lucky Pic of the day!

Carl-Henry Ceant from NY

What makes this outfit suitable for a "Lucky Pic"? If you seriously have to ask, then you're never going to get "it".

Lets start with the slacks; The color can be duplicated, but when he adds that sweater to it, nice look. Accessories play a huge role as well. Peep where the phone pouch is, that was actually placed there on purpose. The glasses, designer frames and the watch, c'mon? What really had me choose this pic was the tie. To pull off an outfit with colors that are supposed together is cliche, but to add that one element or color that attracts your eyes from the outfit is brilliant.

Thank you Carl for letting me use this pic!
