Leave it to the Italians to take the ubiquitous puffer jacket and give it some alta moda. Reporter is a men’s wear company, based in Milano, whose line is expansive, but we narrowed our sights on their remix of the puffer jacket. Made from clear PU (faux leather – has a plastic-type surface – the highlight of the jacket is what’s on the INside – the brightly colored feathers! The down feathers in each of these jackets is dyed an eye-catching hue and put style on par with substance. Don’t fret ladies, the jackets have been so popular Reporter is sizing them down to size 38 EU (size 4 US). The jackets feature a detachable hood, are made in Italy and will release later in the year just in time for the cold weather.

We’re big fans of Above here at the M.I.S.S. HQ and we just got word that he released part 2 of his 4-part South Central Remix series. It includes new footage and the most cases of Montana paint that I have ever seen. It’s enough to make any artist very, very jealous. You can view it here:

I love to travel, so if I was a rich girl, I would be globe trotting all the time to one of my favorite destinations - Sicily. When I was growing up, during the summer, my parents would take my sisters and me to visit family in Sicilia. Whenever I think of summer time, or get a craving for the yummiest Italian food, or just want to lie on the beach, my first thought is always Sicily. Right now, I long for the calm quiet beaches. The cool blue Mediterranean is relatively untouched as not many tourists go down that far in Italy. I’d have to jet set in style of course and my travels wouldn’t be complete without my Louis Vuitton luggage, Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil, Prada 18IS sunglasses, Chanel sandals and La Mer moisturizer.
