WATCH me unlock you Aston…

Posted in Hype Beasts, Random Hottness on February 24th, 2010 by Marissa Casey

Hey Hype Beasts and Trendsters,

Ever wish you could open your $233k car with your watch? Um, no I’ve never wished that. But now that I’ve thought about it.. it sounds great!!! Aston Martin and Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre spent 18 long hard months of research/engineering and are finally introducing this option to their new Rapide 4-door sports car.

AMVOX2 Rapide Transponder key timepiece

Rapide 4-door sports car.

You may be thinking, how does this work?  Upscale Hype has the answers…

Upscale Hype says,

“By pressing “Open” between the 8 and 9 hour mark, the AMVOX2 Rapide Transponder key timepiece unlocks the Aston Martin Rapide, while touching “Close” between the 3 and 4 does the opposite and locks the car. This luxury watch also includes an added feature “Find Me”, which turns the head lamps on for better identification when you press both “Open” and “Close” at the same time. The “James Bond like” AMVOX2 Rapide Transponder watch can be yours after you satisfy the (approx. $33,800) price tag, but don’t forget, first you have to buy the car.

XOX,
Marissa Casey

Kanye's Custom Louis Vuitton Backpack

Posted in Hype Beasts, Random Hottness on February 15th, 2010 by Marissa Casey

Hey Hype Beasts and Trendsters,

It’s definitely not okay that Kanye wasn’t in GQ’s top 25 trendiest men of the year.  What do you think?  Anyways, Mr. West is so trendy that he collaborated with Louis Vuitton and made himself a custom backpack.  This backpack features LV’s signature Damier Canvas print with light leather trim.  Rumor has it that it took Kanye & LV about a year and half to make. Check it out….

Unfortunately, for you hype beasts and “fly playas”, this backpack will not appear in boutiques or stores.  This LV backpack is for Kanye’s exclusive use only.  I think this is pretty sick.

BOAT SHOES ARE IN STYLE, really?!?

Posted in Hype Beasts on February 8th, 2010 by Marissa Casey

Hey Fashion Forward Playas,

Not to step on anyones toes… but I thought the day would never come when I would say that BOAT SHOES are dope. But yup, you heard me say it and you CAN quote me.  NO, I’m not talking about the brown ones that EVERY southern guy owns, but sick NIKE and DANASSA classic deck shoes.  Not only are these shoes sick, but the colors are ridiculous. These Danassa’s are going to be a HAMPTONS MUST HAVE this summer.
