Young Gifted & Black

My girl Miss Graham hit me on twitter with a link to a necklace she thought I might liked. And of course I did! A Chanel inspired piece...made as if it was melting. Ugh! To die for! So I peeped the designer...Rachel Stewart. You all know I love accessories. I have a 3 foot bin to prove it. This chick Rachel is dope! Not only is she an African American jewelry designer...Ms. Stewart makes some awesome unique creations! Check out a few below. I will def be copping ASAP.

Words can't explain how much I adore this dope dude...check it out.

Dopeness

I just love these chicks...their style is dope. Look at that floral leather jacket! Hot!

I wear my sunglasses at night...

I am a sucker for a good sun or eyeglass. My mom would swear by sunglasses when I was younger...she never took off her make-up or her glasses. She would often tell me she was a vampire...she hated sun. Fast foward to today...and the same can be said about me. I am getting older, I don't want crows feet...nor do I like very sunny days. I am still shy at times, and just like my mom, I keep my make up on from the previous night too. With that being said, I always had my eye on the A-Morir glasses seen on celebs like Rihanna, Katy Perry, Beyonce, Cassie, Amber Rose, etc. Hot! Hot! Hot! Only a dope chick could rock a pair of these fab shades. I must land my hand on a pair for the summer. They would go so well with the Nike AM 90s, my 3 finger ring, a racerback tank, and some denim cutoffs. Peep pics below as I continue to drool...



These can be worn at night...straight incognito. Mysteriously sexy.




My favs. Ghetto 80s Fab.

The Rocketeers x GoodWood Nyc

More good ish from GoodWood Nyc...this is a customized piece for Chicagos own hip hop duo, The Rocketeers. Kerri is also creating pieces for Lil Waynes Young Money camp. Dope.

Got that GoodWood

I am an accessory whore, like seriously. I have 4 ft bins full of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, sunglasses, rings, scarfs, condoms...okay, TMI. The 3 finger and 4 finger rings are becoming quite popular, more than ever now. Especially with the whole retro movement still progressing on, it seems impossible to not want to take part in this fashion. You have many celebs rocking these rings and necklaces that often take you back to a time where you were probably between the ages of 3-5 years old. Well now you can recapture that look with people like GoodWood Nyc. GoodWoods head designer, and owner, Kerri O'Connell was so nice to send me over a few pieces. I love wood accessories, and I instantly fell in love with her rings. She also does customization, which makes it all worth it rocking something personal to you and your style. Added bonus, GoodWood jewelry is affordable...straight recession proof. You can rock any of her pieces with a evening dress, or just a tee and jeans. And with the variety of accessories being offered on the site including pins, pendants, earrings, etc...you will never run out of ideas for things to cop. Check out the pics below.

The Bald & the Beautiful

Its hitting womens heads like the plague...the clippers!!! But for real, its kinda dope. Yes this has been going on since the end of time, dating back to our African ancestors, the 70s and 80s. So why are folks tripping now when a young woman wants to shave her head? Kelis, Cassie, Lala, Raven Symone, Nina Sky, and more recently Solange, have all went snip, snip...snip. One of my girlfriends shaved her head...and has been getting mixed responses. She even said some of her co workers have went as far as calling her gay. I feel its the rebirth of the neo beauty movement. If it looks good on you, rock it. Alot of women keep hair on their head for a man or whatever may have you. Fuck that. Hair is expression...so gone girl, Express yourself!

Summer MOB '09

One word: DOPE.

Nylon Mag x Nike Dunk

I love Dunks and I love Nylon Magazine. So why not have the two hottest things out, collab? Nylon has teamed up with Nike Dunk to create a hot shoe for the summer. Made of nylon(go figure) and patent leather, these joints will be copped quick. They will be available at Urban Outfitters and other boutiques. I will be getting the pink ones...I suggest you grab a pair too.

I always wanted to shave one half of my head. Well I already shaved my whole head before...did the Amber Rose thing. Been there...done that. Loved it. You go Cassie. Dope look.

TAZ Manian Devil

Damn...can I be part of that pic? This should be a year book pic...the most stylish guys.I love me some fly men...really I do.

Must run in the family...

I met Mr. Lono Brazil through the genius dj, Twilite Tone. I completely fell in love with him without sex. This man has been involved in the industry for years. He can tell you the best stories about Andre Leon Talley, Studio 54, how acid was put in the punch at a party & made a crappy dj sound good, great cocaine, stories on being on the set of porn movies, and how Grace Jones is not as tall as everyone thinks. I luvs it. I can listen to him all day. He is a very dapper man, even at his age. Currently Lono travels back & forth from LA and the Go. He hosts and djs Disco Unusual Social Club nights which involves house, disco, and everything under the son being played. He also runs Turp Online Magazine. Dope. His eldest son is now involved in modeling, and you can see him flexing his skills with the clothing company Base Control. Hot! Eat your heart out. Wow Lono, you even produce greatness...lol! Check the pics.

This is Sa-Ra fam...

I have been up on these guys for two years now. Sa-Ra is dope. Not only musically, but style wise too. These dudes are ill with it, and been around for quite sometime, mainly producing. I was so mad when I missed them at Lollapalooza in '06. Chicago critics slammed them, but I knew it was because they were misunderstood. Taz(the cutie in the middle and second pic)is a fashion designers muse. He is a label whore, and overindulgent. My pseudo boo, and my mentor, are close friends with this style icon. I would love to meet these guys and chat it up about life, music, and sex. If you listen to their music, you would understand why.
