What Is President's Day?!?!

Today, February 20th, 2012 is President's Day! Despite the name, this day is not a celebration of any one president, but was once the celebration of a specific president and of the office of presidency as a whole. It began in 1879 as a day to celebrate George Washington's Birthday. Then the Holiday was later moved to be celebrated on the third Monday in the month of February, which makes the George Washington birthday reference no longer valid. But as time progressed it turned into a day for stores and auto dealers to run sales promotions and attract shoppers. Excerpt from the wikipedia article for "Washington's Birthday" Today, the February holiday has become well known for being a day in which many stores, especially car dealers, hold sales. Until the late 1980s, corporate businesses generally closed on this day, similar to present corporate practices on Memorial Day or Christmas Day . With the late 1980s advertising push to rename the holiday

Color Blocking Is Still In!!

Rihanna was photographed in London wearing the orange pants and purple sweater in the image above almost two years ago, in October of 2010. I think that pairing of the two colors can be an addition to your wardrobe if you like to wear unlikely color combinations and stand out in a crowd. Forever 21 is selling an orange and pink color blocked dress with a white belt for $22.80 , which I think is a great price. Jessica Simpson has a couple of pair of shoes that you can pair with the dress depending on your personal style and preference. The peep toe wedge is priced at $110 and the open toe strap pump costs $87.99 . Will you take a risk on the color block fashion style?

Whitney Houston!

We lost a wonderful, artist and person in Whitney Houston on February11th, 2012. (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012). The details of her death are still unknown at this time. I grew up listening to her music and coveting her wonderful visuals in her music videos and movies as most of us did. In saying that, I am most impressed with Whitney Houston's ability to bounce back after going through life's trials and tribulations. I do remember a time, that the media attempted to assasinate Miss Houston. Pulverizing her with questions of her addiction and using the coverage for more viewers. Despite, the small hiccup in Whitney Houston's personal life she was a mother, a daughter, a sister and a friend to many people that adored her. If you would like to read about the awards and records that she has set or broken, link in to a wikipedia article or her website, http://www.whitneyhouston.com/ . Whitney Houston was an icon, a trailblazer for so many other women of color i

The Top 10 Workout Songs For February by Run Hundred!!!

This month's top 10 is full of little surprises.  Jay Sean and Nicki Minaj's "2012" actually came out months ago.  But, the new year (and an apt title) have given it a second wind.  Also, Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera got a hip-hop makeover, courtesy of Mac Miller.  Outasight got their first taste of chart success.  And, Adele turned in a performance so forceful that most folks didn't seem to mind that the song's more of a ballad than a traditional workout jam. Here's the full list, according to votes placed at Run Hundred --the web's most popular workout music site.   Flo Rida - Good Feeling (Jaywalker Remix) - 127 BPM Jay Sean & Nicki Minaj - 2012 (It Ain't The End) - 126 BPM Cobra Starship & Sabi - You Make Me Feel...

Image Controversy: Eva Mendes Marie Claire!

The hottest news in the press pertaining to image right now is the Eva Mendes cover for Marie Claire. Sources are saying that she was photoshopped and morphed a little too much. But what do you think? Why is it important to portray images of people after the image has been altered with digital technology and there goes from a truthful representation to a non truthful one? Or why change an image of a person that already looks great and comfortable within their skin? Please leave a comment of what you think below this post or go to http://www.facebook.com/notablestyles and leave a comment below the picture.
