Notable Styles and More

Despite the naysayers I think that a man this complexion playing colors is the ABSOLUTE right thing to do. I mean the bright color shows of the features and jaw structure of the model. The off color of the tie sets the tweed and the shirt off, so that your eyes aren't lost but that every detail is featured. And for that I think this look is genius.   What do you think?   If you would like to check out a great menswear line, venture into the land of Catouwear.com . This line does AN EXCELLENT job of combining colors for men. And the founder Berny Martin is an amazing person. Check them out.   Style Contributer: Joi Lindsey   Writer: Nicole McClain

Hello Notable Fashionistas/os this is what we are talking about today. Nail Art Pens, do it yourself nail designs. This is exciting right??? If you are a budget happy individual, that likes the manicure and pedicure look, but do not like to spend the dollars on it week after week, these nail pens are something to look into. I am sure that you have experimented with polishing your own nails before. If you have not even attempted, you should take this opportunity to try. 1. Wash, clean and dry your hands very well. 2. Apply a skin moisturizer. 3. Wipe off any remaining oils from around your nails and nail beds before you begin the polish. 4. Use a base coat, the polish color of choice and a top coat. When creating a nail design hold off on the top coat, until you are done with your creation. Here is a picture of designs that you can do with the NPW Nail Art Pens. Price - $14 . Follow this link to purchase them.   If you are looking for good fall fashion friendly nail a

Today is the anniversary day that our precious gem of an R&B songbird Aaliyah "Babygirl" Haughton passed on to a better place. She spent January 16, 1979 to August 25, 2001 blessing the world with her presence and although the 22 years that she was here seems short, I am just thankful to have been able to watch her live as long as I did. On August 25th, of that dreaded year 2001 I remember receiving a call from a friend (that is also no longer with us), being asked, "you cried didn't you?" And I remember shamelessly saying yes. Aaliyah was the first person that I had never met or even known personally that I felt a connection with. She felt like a sister to me, an icon, if not just a pretty girl with enormous talent that was living her dream and giving me the chance to see it. The only poster that I had in my sibling shared room and the only poster that went to college with me was of Aaliyah. Aaliyah's song, "One in a Million" was one o

The co-editor of Notable Styles and More Joi Lindsey is ready to get you all ready for Fall! But are you ready?? Two cute looks that you can think about transitioning to while it is still warm. Preparing your wardrobe is lot better and fulfilling than runing out and buying an outfit at the moment. You will find that you may get more wear out of the pieces that you take the time to purchase in advance. The chunky heel, camel colored shoe, denim jeans, short sleeve button up and add a scarf - BOOM! The second look requires more layers but its simple. Jeans, flat knee boots, button up, pull over sweater and add a blazer. All pieces that can be mixed and matched with different outfits to give you maximum use of your apparel - Ta-DaaH!

Notable Styles and More attended the Harrison College Fashion Show Wednesday at the Circle Centre Mall Artsgarden. The show ran very smoothly, the scenes were organized by styles (i.e, "Pops of Color") and named accordingly. The show took brief pauses in between each scene to give away raffle prizes and this really kept the attention of the guests. The artsgarden atmosphere was very charming with the sun shining through the window onto the runway as the models worked their magic. The hostesses were very friendly and the show MCs showed charisma. We give Harrison College a notable round of applause on their event and a job well done. The images above are of some of the looks that I was able to capture. The event was jam packed and room was limited. Some of the designers featured in the show and here are Juice Mami , Butterfly Couture and apparel from Runway Diva Boutique . I hope that you enjoy the images from the show. Follow http:

Today Alicia Keys released her new album cover to the world via instagram. The album is entitled Girl on Fire and is set to drop, 11.27.12.

  Rihanna was recently spotted around in Barbados wearing a pair yellow tye dye shorts from Urban Outiftters that are priced at $54 . Ashley Madekwe British actress in Revenge was also seen wearing tye dyed shorts around the end of May. This pair or a similar pair to hers was also spotted at Urban Outfitters priced on sale at $29 .   And I just happened to have a submitted image from a Notable Styles reader of a DIY pair of tye dyed cut off shorts that is very similar to the shorts that Rihanna and Ashley are seen wearing here. So I felt that this was the perfect opportunity to post the photo. With just: A pack of Rit dye A bucket, some water A pair of scissors Gloves (optional)  In just 30 minutes you can make your own tye dye shorts as the Notable Styler has done here. There are also DIY tops in the photograph that were completed by the reader as well. How is that for a cost savings? Do you like the design work that she did? I do. Do not be afr

One half of the History Makerz duo Eroc is pictured above and the other half Brandon is always in close proximity. The History Makerz stay working and have perfected the art of the grind.

I am generally a fan of any music video directed by Hype Williams (TLC's Waterfall; Aaliyah's Rock the Boat, Kanye West's All of the Lights....) the way that Hype incorporates graphics and special effects into his creations is absolutely breath taking. In the case of the new Brandy video featuring Chris Brown, Hype Williams has transcended the industry once again. The color ways, effects, lighting and over all fluidity of the video are modern, creative and exciting to watch. Brandy has stepped up her choreography game for this vid and I think she is doing a great job. The song Put It Down is catchy, I like the hook, the production by Bangladesh beats hard and all is well for Brandy's 1st single. Let's go Bran. It is good to see Chris Brown in a different light as well. He is pretty much a relaxed feature, not dancing all over the place, just giving off a presence. I like it! Brandy's hair, make up, and apparel styling for this video is pretty muc

Is this for real? Artists, photographers, stylists, models, fans, I need feedback on this.

Today, I would like to feature two styles that really caught my attention. I like the simple way that both of the outfits were put together, but the level of difficulty increased with the unique pairings of the pieces. For instance, a light turquoise blouse paired with tye dye pants and artistic blush smeared pointy toed pumps - LOVE ! For the second look, I was impressed with the unlikely color combinations. The blue sequin top, with the beige sequin skirt, red belt and orange 140mm orange patent leather wedges and the orange envelope clutch. These two looks right here are blowing UP the spot. The blouse is priced at $25.90 and the wedges are priced at $47 .  Enjoy!
