Colored Denim

So colored denim has been the trend in denim and I just wanted to share with you my fav pair of colored denim. If your into the look and have been looking for the right jean to rock with I think Rag and Bone has done the perfect crimson. I'm a huge J brand fan and have a lot of their denim but hands down I'm loving Rag and Bone's when It came to this colored piece. I picked this pair up at Barney's when I was in LA on my last trip and this was my first time trying their denim and I love the way they fit! I'm actually going to get into more of their jeans! I wore them yesterday to my meetings up at Universal for some listening sessions and then to the Miguel show last night at BB Kings. I paired them with my YSL black cage booties and a black button down with a hint of lingerie showing. Sexy! ; )

Bullrun Rally 2011

For those of you who are gear heads like me you might be familiar with the celebrity car rally Bullrun that's been around for a little bit. Bullrun since 2006 has been my father and I's guilty pleasure and extreme hobby! lol My Dad and I were actually the first father daughter team to ever run in the rally in 2006 and every year we have made it our one week that we can put aside work and just enjoy eachother's company our racing friends and our love to drive fast cars. Last year was the first year since we've doing the rally that we weren't able to participate because of our schedules and sadly this year I we won't be able to do the run because of my recording schedule since I'm working on a boat load of new material getting ready for a huge launch after the fall. I'm in an amazing place right now with my music and have to keep the momentum going. Also I'm going to be taking one vacation already to visit my grandparents in Europe and I'm leaving on the 15th when the rally actually ends in Miami. One vaca is all I an get out without taking to much time away from work. Duty calls! ; ) HOWEVER, the good news is that the day after my birthday since I can't stand to be away from my Bullrun family and I haven't seen a lot of my friends who do the rally since we all live all over the place I'm flying out with my Dad to be there for the start of the rally! Really excited to see everyone, all the amazing cars that are sure the be on the starting line this year (it's going to be a great line up seen some pictures of what some of my friends are planning on taking!) and of course meet some of the amazing fans as well! I'll be at the launch party on the night of the 8th and you can catch me on the starting line the morning of the 9th! Really excited for Bullrun this year as they are filmed in a lot of markets overseas and this year MTV will be taking over the filming for the US market! Should be an amazing week with of course tuns of epic stories! Will be joining you guys next year! ; ) Can't stay away for to long!

I'm a workout nut!

I'm up in my gym at my apartment doing some cardio for the evening (isn't the view amazing up here?! Took a pic while I did my workout. Not bad to admire to pass the time) and I was just thinking and laughing about a twitter post I did yesterday about the type of workouts I do to keep in shape. My body get used to workouts quickly since I'm pretty active all the time btwn rehearsals and just normal gym workouts so I need to change it up a lot and shock my body to keep getting results and not staying the same and wasting time in the gym. Yes, I have a trainer and have learned a lot from her about my body and how to keep in shape. We do weight training together and we throw in some boxing to add extra cardio and through off my body from getting used to workouts. I love my new pick wraps! Lol My brothers were making fun of at the gym the other day because of course I would have to have the pink wraps. Also on the top of my list of fav things to do for exercise and I have talked about it a lot is pole dancing. I found a great pole studio in my neighborhood New York Pole Dancing that I've been taking classes at for the past 2 years now. It's seriously one of the best exercises ever if you can push yourself through the bruising the happens when learning new tricks. I got so obsessed with it I even installed one in in my apartment to keep it up when I can't get to the studio. I've had it up for awhile now I forget it's there and it's hysterical watching people's faces when they walk in and see it! lol In all honesty you work muscles you never knew you had and your constantly challenging your body. To change up my cardio I also throw in some spinning because I get bored easily doing the usual treadmill or precore routine. There is this amazing studio called Soul Cycle they have a few locations on the east coast that I LOVE! It's the best because they turn the lights off for the class which I think helps you mentally push through the workout! Working out is definitely a life style and yes it hurts but it should be fun. Hope I've given you guys some new things to try ; )

Bullrun Rally 2011

Those of you who know that I have a love a cars also know that I'm usually apart of the Celebrity Car Rally Bullrun that happens every year. I wasn't able to join the rally last year because of work and sadly I won't be able to participate this year however I do have some time in the schedule that I'm going to flying out to Vegas to see everyone off for the start! It really is strange not being on the rally and is going to be so weird seeing everyone race off and not be going with them to the next checkpoint but I miss my racing family so much I had to make the trip and catch up with my friends face to face and not over the phone. Will post pics and get footage from the starting line and hopefully get a chance to meet some fans while I'm out there! The Rally kick ff is July 9th. My birthday is actually on the 6th so it's awesome that it's my birthday weekend. Looking on getting into town on the 7th and of course my Poppa is making the trip as well! See you at the starting line ; ) xo -kebe

I got stuck in LA

Meant to do this post sooner but I was so tired from traveling that as soon as I got back to NY I went straight to bed.. lol I was suppose to be back in NY from LA on the 20th but winded up staying an extra night in a hotel by the airport because silly me apparently hit July 20th on the cal. when booking my return flight date. I was upset when I got to the check in counter and found out what I had done. At first they couldn't even find my reservation it was like a nightmare. Needless to say we figured it out and took the first flight out the next morning. It was kind of annoying being as I was already mentally prepared to be flying through the night and tired from getting everything together to leave.. It was like so close to being home hahah just kidding. My mother was actually with me so we stayed at a hotel on the airport so we could just shoot right back over early but the room probably was one of the worst hotel rooms ever in life! lol We were laughing so hard. I actually slept on a scarf over the bed because the smell in the room was like moth balls that I was nervous what could possibly be on the bed! LOL Then my mother and I couldn't stop laughing because the room had a window in it but it overlooked out into the hallway. Like how weird!! Who thought that would be a good idea. I can just imagine sleeping with the shades up and people walking by and starring in. Creepy.. Had to take a picture to be silly!

After all of that and not sleeping for 24 hours because I couldn't sleep on the plane for some reason I'm finally back in NYC. I stayed up at my parents the last 2 nights and just came back down to my apt this evening. Had a great workout at the trainers with my brothers, unpacked a bit and extremely excited to finally getting some sleep in my own bed tonight! I have a lot of recording coming up and some more traveling so it's going to be a little nuts over the next few weeks for me. Lot's to do and I'm so excited about it!!

Happy 30th Bday Scooter Braun!

What an amazing birthday bash last night for Scooter Braun's 30th Bday in LA! Matt Donnelly from the LA Times and I took this pic while dancing to MC Hammer's performance (Yes, I did say MC Hammer! lol He still has those moves!! He tore UP that stage last night!) Justin Bieber,Usher, Asher Roth Performed. They all were incredible! Had a blast!!! Def blew the roof of The Music Box last night!

Billabong Save the Music

One of the coolest events I've been to in LA has to be the Billabong Save the Music event! The party was held in the outdoor lot at Paramount Studios. It was like partying in NY in the middle of LA. There was a concert going on down on of the alley ways, a swimsuit fashion show and tuns of artist working on stoops on amazing art work!

Papp'd in LA

This trip to LA been a crazy one. In a good way though. ; ) I have been going none stop with meetings and events since getting into town and today is the first day I'm getting a little me time.

The craziest thing that happened this trip was my paparazzi moment.. lol I was shopping in West Hollywood and the next thing I know.. click click click.. Looks like we're on the way haha.. Still feels kind of weird thinking about it. lol I'm just happy that I'm in a great place with amazing people around me! The energy is really inspiring!

Saw a comment about someone loving my sunglasses. They are my fav! Their Tom Ford : )

Back to LA

It's perfect weather here in LA, of course! My trip feel on perfect timing for the simple fact that it got me out of NY during the crazy heat wave that we were having! Don't get me wrong I LOVE summer and I'm a summer baby since I was born in July, but I was over that humidity and sticky weather really quick! I'm doing a lot of recording back in NY so I was kind of bummed I needed to ship out to LA really quick because I was getting really into my music and just being locked in the studio again. I'm working out of Platinum Sound in NYC & I'm in LOVE the the space and the artistry that goes on there! It's def like no other studio I'm worked out of before and the music is taking on a whole other life because of it's energy and people I'm working with these days!

I just landed in LA this morning to June gloom in full effect but now the sun is shining and it's making me feel amazing! I have some magazine interviews and meet and greets out here this trip with my publicist and some fun events to go to as well. : ) Of course meetings meetings meetings!! It's heavy grind time over here with the Elezaj camp! I have a lot to do and I'm getting antsy because I will going to Europe to visit my grandparents with my Dad and one of my brothers and sisters and I've never taking off for a vacation like that in, hmm well I can't remember.. I know it will be good for me but I'll of course be on my email like a mad woman.. I hope family doesn't see this post or they will problem make sure they hide my computer while I'm there..

But that's 5 weeks away so staying focused on what's in front of me right now here in LA LA land and of course looking forward to getting back to NY in about a week a half to jump back into the studio. I wish I could fill you in more on the material and who I'm working with but I promise in the next week or so I can tell you more!! : ) I'm dying over the new stuff and really can't wait to give you a little sneak peak as I know from your messages you've been excited about the new songs! There coming!! ; )
