I Despise Your Fly, Eve

Eve visited 106 & Park just last week with a FIERCE pair of Phillipp Plein leggings to let it be known that she was in the building.

Go 'head E-V-E!

I Despise Your Fly, Trina x Ciara

The "Million Dollar Girl" herself has been looking AMAZING these days. It seems as if she's getting more fashionable each time we see her!!

If Shoes Could Kill...

If Shoes Could Kill, these heels would be on trial as we speak!
I spotted these on-line, and all though they are no where in my radar of spending, it doesn't hurt to dream.

Beyonce wore these beauties herself for her taping of "60 minutes" earlier this year.

Price tag? $2,795

It must be [REALLY] nice.

See more of these at the on-line site, Gregorys, here.

The Big Bold Ring Trend

As of lately, I have become infatuated with big BOLD rings! It's cosmetic jewelry like this that can spice up any outfit!

Check out some of these pieces from Forever 21 (My Fav.), which can also be found online. The ring I'm wearing in the picture is actually from Charlotte Russe.

//[Flower Power]: Flowers & little sparkle never hurt anybody right?

I ADORE the... "Mega Flower Ring" in cream (Left).

This one would look perfect w/ a sheer polish for those days when you just want to feel girly.

//[Animalistic]: Dare to be different w/ this type of ring.

I LIKE the... "Rhinestone Panther Ring". It's definitely BOLD & different. This will def. give you that edge to pull off any classic black outfit w/ boots. ($5.80)

//[It's A Formal Affair]: You thought bow ties were just for men? Definitely not! Switch it up with these elegant pieces to make 'em look twice!!

I'm FEELIN' the... "Rina Rhinestone Bow Ring"(right). It's not too big and the slit designs adds a little extra, which I like!

//[In Living Color]: I love hues of green, blue, and purple b/c they look great on just about any skin tone. They are like gems :)

I WOULD ROCK BOTH the... "Broad Square Ring" (2nd;$5.80) & "Lacquer Shell Ring" (4th;$4.80). The square shape & the pebble look are dope!

//[Face it, && EmBRACE it]: I'm not a huge bracelet person. But, these pieces are too nice to pass up.

I WOULD ROCK the... "Embossed Stone Cuff" ($6.80) && would definitely pair it up w/ the ring above! I also LOVE the "Lacquer Wing Cuff Bracelet" ($5.80). It's exotic looking & would look great with the "Owl Face Ring" above ($5.80) in gold detail.

...So, as you can see there is a variety. Switch it up during the week.

Maybe you're feelin' Rihanna's album, HARD, extra hard && wanna rock it out...try a studded bracelet or an animal design.

Maybe you're going out on a date && want the perfect piece: try an elegant flower ring.

Whichever you choose, you're never too lose!

---until next time. :)

"The Style's In The Message", as they would say...

---Yep. You read right, && read it again & again b/c these pieces done by the brand dangerousNegro speak for themselves.

Browsing a post done by Miss Dimplez here, "I got put on" to these designs.

&& You gotta love what they stand for, esp. the first one.

These two designs below are dope as well.

[24/7. 365]I can't count how many times I have said & heard that "Black History Month is EVERDAY". The top design reads exactly that!

[Takin' Over]I LOVE this so much! Check the fist in the center of the flag.

*Also notice the Eye of Horus[protection] && what looks like an ankh[life/balance] constructing the eye as well. Thanks to my Art History course, I recognize these Egyptian symbols. Dope shiii-!

My favorite of all the pieces was this shirt (below) that reads "Educated BLACK Woman"! In the words of 2Pac, "It's time to start makin' changes"...and this shirt is where WE should start.

The prices for these designs start as low as $18.00 and can be bought in wide a range of colorways & messages right here at their on-line store.

The brand is dangerousNegro.

Get yours today && spread the word!!

I Despise Your Fly, Flyy Chick & Ms. Berry

Nah, this "flyy chick" of which I speak of is NOT Teyana. I'm talkin' bout that FLYY CHICK to her right. All black everything && it's definitely channelling a 'cat woman' revamped. Flyy Chick, you BETTER!


Halle did it so well that I had to post her. I mean how could I not? With just a simple silk blouse, tights, medium-length coat, and faint jewelry she is GIVING IT to us. I'm not worried about turnin' anything over 30 when Halle proves it can STILL be done!

All is well in the neighborhood. :)

Photography: The Diamond Celebration (Jay-Z)

You may not know, just like I didn't, that this year marks the 10th anniversary of Jay-Z's clothing line, Rocawear. It all started in 1999. Man it seems like time breezes by!! But, as I was on his site for all of his endeavors, I spotted some dope photography. The photography is to (I'm guessing) celebrate the anniversary as well, as the site is campaigning "The Diamond Celebration" heavily.

Check some of the photos below. I urge you to remove your opinions, and see the art for it's aesthetic.

//"All Black Everything--"

[I love this chick's edge!! Remember Omahyra Mota from Jay's "Change Clothes" video. The dress & peep toe boots are 2 die for!!]

//"While I'm watchin every ni**a watchin me closely--"
[That big fist in the background kinda threw me off but, It shows a more cotemplative Jay looking at his reflection in the mirror. It's in black & white so, I think it's dope.]

//"I'm your physician, I'm your addiction--"

[Aside from the fact that he is half naked, the background caught my attention. It's very clean cut & tidy. Everything is in it's place && that sits right with me.]

//"Like, Prada blouse, Gucci bra/ Filth marked jeans, take that off--"

[Not really sure who the model is but, the pic is just dope. It looks very liberating. Not just the fact that home gurl is missing her top but, the fact that she's outside. It looks like morning over there. I can digg it.]

'Dawn Diva' Part II

a few pics from Dawn's twitter...

...love it.

Louis V down to hah' feet. Disgusting, in a good way :)

Fashion Reaches the 'Sky'

These two ladies below, do you know 'em?

You probably don't remember them [by these semi-NEW pics] but, it's Nina Sky! You know... the duo that sung "Move Ya' Body" back in 2004. Well since then, these ladies have amped up their look && turned it up a few notches. I have been spotting them 'here & there' lately && I have to admit I digg their style. It's a lot of pics but, I seriously couldn't narrow it down anymore. They are just 2 STYLISH!! *all pics are taken from Nina Sky's Official Myspace page.

//STANDIN' OUT//

[I love the abstract white dress & metallic boots on the right. Stilleto boots are FIERCE if you don't know!]

//BACK 2 THA BASICS//

[It seems like the basic tee & skirt is becoming the new 'jeans & basic white tee' combination. I see a lot of people rocking similar outfits like this now. It's very simple, yet chic.]

//LITTLE BLACK CORSET && A VISIT 2 THA DOC//

[Ok, corsets can make you look BOMB if done properly, as it is done here. && check the brown boots on the right that are rocked w/ the tongue down. Looks like some good 'ol Doc Martens to me. I'm jealous, once again!!]

//PRINTS ANYONE?//

[Nina Sky showin' you prints can be more than "Flower Power", as bold patterns & colors work just fine! Also, their belts around the waist are stylish & accentuates the waist quite well.]

//NINA'S CUTE & CASUAL//

[If you read this blog, you kno I'm ON my 'Cute & Casual' tip! Especially when it comes to skinny jeans. I have countless pairs of skinny jeans, they're amazing, really :) IMO, They are best worn w/ a "big flowy" top. It looks weird to have both a tight shirt & fitted jeans so, mis-matching it like this adds dimension to the outfit as a whole. [Atleast, in my case] So, I LOVE both their tops & jeans. Perfect Look!]

//FIERCE & FLYY//

[I envy this picture b/c they look so dope. You can never go wrong w/ Black & White photography. It's so classic & timeless.]

FYI: Nina Sky's new album Starting Today is supposed to hit sometime this year. Check out some of their new music: [These are also featured on their Myspace page] * Allow songs to load

Meet the 'Real Dawn Diva'

(Pics hijacked 4rm: Dawn's Twitter) *Design courtesy of me via. Picnik

Tha bish is flyy, nuff said really. I mean who would honestly think Dawn would resurface after the break up of Danity Kane, which took everyone by storm? Thankfully, she has moved on & with her new group, Dirty Money, && dope style I'm sure we'll be seeing Dawn for a lot longer than expected.

The new hair-cut has added fuel to the fire for Dawn but, it doesnt stop there. Peep the flyy pics of Dawn below:

I LOVE the snake print shades. [Lookin' like a BOSS.]//Her creative nail design is on point!! [Might try that!]//We all have one --> Here's Dawn & her random pose.

The Time: A Quarter After Flyy

1st Qtr// Her [reflective] hot pink shades are out of this world futuristic. I'm also feelin' the chartreuse [lime] polish. Bright bold colors are IN! // 2nd Qtr// Now that's a ring. Do you see that rock?! I don't know what it is but, she joked and said "It's official". [I'm guessing she was referring to her BF Que] That would be crazy though. // 3rd Qtr// Now, when I saw these I got real HYPE because I'm growing fond of [militant/flat/masculine] boots and Doc Marten has that!! In fact, check the post I did in July on DM here. I'm still waiting until I find the exact pair I want for the Fall. So in the meanwhile Dawn better work 'em! // 4th Qtr// Check her earring[s], which at 1st glance appears to be a necklace. It connects from ear 2 ear. For some odd reason, it reminds me of that long belly ring chain people use wear. [Honestly, I'd be afraid it would get snagged onto something] So, in this case short hair may be the BEST way to sport them. //

Gotta love a flyy gurl! I'm already inspired :)

[WHAT PIECES ARE YOU FEELIN' FROM DAWN?]

The Fabolous Life

[Let's get into it. Press play & feel me on this one [Song: "The Fabolous Life" - Loso's Way]] FYI: give it a few secs to load.



I have been all over Fabolous since his new album Loso's Way dropped last week Tuesday (July 28). The album managed to push 99,000 units within the first week. Idk, but I was expecting more than that. The album is great. Great enough to be one of the best Hip-Hop albums of 2009.

As Fab is out promoting his album heavily, he is also tightening up his fashion game too.

[Spotted these on his Official Twitter page, here.] He's one fresh dude from Brookyln, I will tell you that.

[Left: Check Beyonce on the shirt & the pink detail //Right: The shirt says it all & I like the lime color as well!]

[Fab's Wolverine Dunks & fit 2 match. Who does this?! He def. has a mean shoe game.]

[Oldie but, goodie--->Lookin so freshh w/ the belt to match.]

[The infamous Air Yeezy's.]

[Fab: "In honor of the event, had 2 bring the iced out G Shock out.. It was only right"] I would say so! G Shocks are all over the place these days!

What I would like to call, 'Stoopid Freshh'!
