Notable Styles and More

Can you be a creative director? Check out this video.

Fashion and style are innate senses that all human beings are blessed with. At times others may be more in tune with these particular senses than other people. The same as other people may be in tune with their mathematical ability more than others. With that being said, fashion and style is of you, within you and all around you. If you feel that you lack in the area then, seek within and study or review outside examples of your idea of it. Then, you will develop what you have seen into a conglomerate of outside opinions, your opinion and natural ability. The total of all of that, is your true individual fashion style and sense.

XOXO , has a darling Tuxedo blazer that is gray polyester and has piping along every cinch. This blazer has two hidden closures to make the decorative buttons more comfortable and acceptable. The blazer also possesses a back vent to allow regular movement while wearing this cute piece. I love blazers because they can be acclimated for professional and casual settings, but will always display your worldliness, no matter which environment that you are in. I love XOXO because if you like a designer piece that is a little out of your budget, this company will offer you an equal design at a friendlier price. Price - $59.00 Available on Macys.com .

Prada and LG collaborated and released a fashion forward phone for the 21st century March 2007. The success of the phone was GREAT with 1 million total sales worldwide. Now, they have decided to come out with a version II, which will shock the WORLD with it's capabilities. I have personally been an LG phone fan, since the time of Jay-Z's 24 hour 7 city tour for Kingdom Come (which really ended up totalling about 28 hours) when I drove from Indianapolis to Chicago, just to take pictures of him on my LG phone, that I later lost with the pictures on it, on a flight to Atlanta for the BET Hip Hop Awards in 2006. I had the LG F9200 . The rumored specs for the Prada II are as follows: 7.2Mbps HSDPA 850 / 2100 WiFi TV-out FM radio 5-megapixel camera Price - $816 I am still presently a LG phone customer and may think about getting this one, as well.

I just discovered Dope Couture's Barack Obama t-shirt , ( post dated Oct. 14th with David Banner, rockin' it entitled "Dope x Mick Boogie x MTVTN ") which is NIIICE! I guess no one in their camp or affiliated with them loves me enough to tell me about their NEWNESS, so I had to figure it out on my on....(rolls eyes). But it's ALL GOOD. I still ordered and paid for my own. No time to wait on flexing my stylist muscle to get this one. It feels like a Limited Edition . I'm just glad that I found it, right before, the November 4, 2008 Election. Price - $24.00 Click here to buy Stay tuned to the blog at how I alter the shirt and rock it OUT! - OMG, NASTY!!!

There is a Steve Madden peep toe, boot that keeps popping up, when I open magazines and when I surf the net.

I would swear that the price was more than it really is. $149.95 . I know, why haven't I ordered this yet? I don't know, I'm asking myself the same thing.

Vanessa and Angela Simmons have become more than household names, since Run's House successful run (is that a hot pun or what?-HA) of seasons and continues to get rave reviews.

" (Put on for my City, Young Jeezy feat. Kanye West). The aspiring Take Over the World duo has been blazing trails for young women all over, since their debut. And believe me, they won't stop there. Coming January 2009, these young ladies will star in their own MTV sitcom entitled, "Daddy's Little Girls" and I am 200% positive that this show will NOT disappoint. Pastry Website here .
