Fashionable man

Let's keep this fashionable men trend thing up and keep myself from forgetting that this is a male and female friendly blog. Time to cater boys for a while to make up for how many blogs about the girls i made! I wanted to make another fashionable man blog post today. Yesterday was Jaimie Burke. Today let's go for Kanye West. Yes we all know he is great, so fashionable, so cocky, and so talented. I needed to feature him because he does dress amazingly and you will never catch him looking like he just rolled out of bed. He is the accessory king! I'm glad he shows boys that it is ok to accessorize. Accessories can pull an outfit together. He is the only person (in my opinion) that can do it(for now). Lots of men look up to him. He applauds talented hip hop artists, loves fashionable girls, into politics, loves London, sets trends, and is from the north( ok Chicago is midwest). He is my dream boyfriend. Sigh! We love Li' Kanye!

Something for the menz...

Last night while I was thinking about everything wrong with life, I started to think of my favorite fashionable men. Obvious choice, Shia Labeuof, which is fine but let's take the focus off of him for now. There is Terrence Howard, Pharell, Cool Kids, and then Jaimie Burke. Yes Jaimie! He is lead singer of Bloody Social. He was discovered while performing and ended up landing a job with Calvin Klein as their lead model for the Fall 2007 ads. He has an angelic face, tattoos, piercings, long hair, and beautiful dark eyes.. Just my type of guy! His style is a mix of indie rocker and hippie.









Ok ENOUGH! He is just too hot for words. Please be my boyfriend?

P.S. We need more fashionable cute young boys in this world!

Teyana Taylor

Teyana Taylor is my new girlfriend. What do I have to do to be like her? I mean seriously! I've always been envious of girls who can pull off the tomboy look. Teyana does it amazingly with hints of femininity. As she says, " I'm so New York, I'm so damn Harlem." She's so young, so cute, and her personality is bigger than life. Though I do hate that I first saw her on My Sweet 16. Instead of asking for a new Corvette, she asked for a gold plated bike.YES! She is also the young protege' of Pharell. It also doesn't help that her song," Traffic Stop" is so deliciously addictive. She has my dream afro and she's 17. She makes me want to move to Harlem tommorow. Loves it! Check her out.








I will be ordering my sewing machine tommorow and buying fabrics! Have a Goodnight!

Slow down

Hey!

I'm not moving to NYC, just yet. I'm going to hold off at least until January 2009. The school I was supposed to be attending to finish up was not at all what I expected. I realized I couldn't even find anything that i liked or loved about it. I'm taking off a semester to apply to more schools(reapply to some), build up my portfolio,work,save $$$, and figure out exactly what I want to do. I've always had a busy mind and still til today I want to do everything. I have tons of hobbies and interests. I'm considering Graphic Design, Fashion Marketing and Publishing, Merchandising(is still on), Entrepreneurship,Advertising, Psychology, and Journalism. How do I do what I love and still be able to live comfortably? Seems like a simple question, but the answer is way more complex.
I'm opening up my schooling options also. I only have 2 more years left, so if the city sucks it shouldn't take a toll on me until its time for me to graduate. I'm considering schools in Austin, Atlanta, and L.A. in addition to NY. I'm pretty excited about being able to take off a semester. I definitely needed it because my last semester was really rough. If i end up going to a school in a different city besides NY, I will move to NY after I graduate. I'm in love with NYC and I couldn't see myself not living there.
I'm also getting a new sewing machine! Just the thought of being able to sew again since high school is pretty amazing. There is so many things I want to make that I cannot sadly find in stores. Maybe I could put these ideas in my portfolio? They are just racing through and all over my mind. These next few months im off, I'm going to be tapping into my passions i've been putting on the back burner. I promised myself this summer that i would do a charcoal drawing everyday of the summer. I have yet to start. The summer has been super busy for me but for the fall i must get these things done-drawing,sewing, and designing new clothes for my portfolio.

a little somethin' somethin.

Hey!
I bought this lil' somethin' somethin; from Urban Outfitter's secret sale, which included an additional 20% off of sale items. I knew I needed to take advantage of it. I searched neverending pages of sale items and finally found what I've been looking for the past 2-3 years, ACID WASH! Believe me, I'm ashamed to say I bought a "vintage" piece from UO when I probably could have found it at thrift stores. But trust me, I've searched hundreds of times and they were never my size,or defective, or hideous. I regret a year ago passing up an awesome $5 blue acid wash bomber jacket with over-exaggerated pockets. I still think about it today. Considering I passed up acid wash once, I knew I couldn't pass up an awesome sale that included my future favorite skirt. This skirt is amazing. It's high waist, acid wash, has a split in the back and is so beautiful. And the best thing about it? the 20% off brought my total including shipping to $25.

i promise no more shopping til after tommorow's thrifting and then i'll save some more money, work on my portfolio a bit.

I also love the fact that ebay recommends low bid items that you will most likely like based on what you last searched. Finally!

Here's a pic of my beauty.

A few things I bought today...

Today is friday..meaning PAYDAY!...It was so relaxing to shop a bit..I even got a chance to walk around the quarter for a bit. I didn't have a snowball today, but I will be geting some amazing ice cream tonight.




This is the 3rd color in this style from AA that I have. I also have it in Evergreen and in Asphalt. It became my new favorite and also made it so comfortable for my tattoo while healing.



I bought these in black from AA today also. They came in yesterday and usually jeans don't fit me as perfectly as I would like. I tryed them on today and itt fit like a glove. They are so comfy, so stretchy and the side zipper makes it even cuter. The rise hits right at the navel. Pretty cute for my first pair of high waist jeans. Now if only I could add some more high waist shorts to my collection.



I bought this shirt in a size too small and I'm pretty sure it'll stretch out a bit and if not, i don't mind the tightness. I love the classic Transformers, and as everybody should know by now, need to show a little bit of my love for Shia by wearing this shirt. I have a secret obsession with the vintage above the elbow 70s baseball tee style shirts. They are so rare and extremely hard to find. Once I find one, I'm forced to buy it. They're so cute!
