My Pick of the day!

I love this song, beautiful just beautiful......

Originally by the famous Etta James but most recently re-made by Beyonce from her movie Cadillac Records based on a true story, she plays Etta James:

Here is "I'd Rather Go Blind":

Why try? Why not just be yourself?

Okay guys and gals. Me and my husband were watching a music video today and I started talking to him, which leads me to blogging about the same discussion....

I noticed ever since the term "Swagger" or "Swag" has been in use (more now then ever) men have been trying soooooo hard to live up to this image, this look, sexy sexy sexy. They are trying so hard that it's ANNOYING me!!! It's like the new marketing scheme for the industry. There are two options for marketing SEX or RAW CREATIVITY. Why don't more people stick with creativity???

Just be yourself and don't try to have this "swag" that isn't you, because its AWKWARD!

Here are some examples below of what I mean:

Now if you must and I mean if you must promote sex as an artist, it should look just like this:

P.s. Thanks to all the artists, directors, producers, fashion designers, etc that take creativity into hand rather then just using sex, money, and trashy women.....

Raw and Unique Styles

I have a huge amount of respect for designers who are fearless, not afraid to step outside of the box.

I can also appreciate all those people out there who are not afraid to be different in style, they are willing to wear what no one else would dare, creating their very own RAW AND UNIQUE STYLE.....

Indian Fashion Designer: Manish Arora at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Harajuku fashion in Japan


Miss Sixty's unique style: Runway 09

Heatherette always brings edgy fun styles to the fashion scene!!!

Betsey Johnson always dares to be DIFFERENT!!!

Bentley Fonzworth is a "cool outrageous lover of uniquely raw style"!!!

3 Reasons Why I am In Love With J.Crew

Okay for those of you who don't know I have had an obession with J.Crew for quite a while now. Yes, a huge crush!!!!

So I want to give you three reasons why my love for their clothing is soooooooooooo STRONG!!!

1. Color: J. Crew's chose of color is beyond AMAZING, it is truly exciting to walk into a J.Crew store and see what it looks like for a clothing line to do so right by their color selections. They are able to be bold and creative with their color selections by mastering their merchandising/display. Just try going into your local J.Crew without your jaw dropping in aw :) You can go into a J.Crew and find nearly any color you are looking for...

2. Quality is something we see so seldomly today. We are so use to poor quality that we now accept disposable clothing (like Forever21) and we no longer expect to use pieces in our wardrobes for longer then 6-12months. We should be able to have pieces in our closets for years without it pilling from low abrasion resistance, crocking, bleeding, getting holes because of loose seams, etc. J.Crew is so on top of their quality that they take the time and money to make the inside of their clothing look just as good as the outside. For example, I own several pieces of their outerwear from blazers to peacoats and I was highly impressed with how they finish the garment on the inside with gorgeous colored piping and lining, its just amazing!

3. Classic/Timeless: Its is so nice to be able to purchase an item that you can wear five years from the day you purchased it and it will still be in fashion. However, there is nothing more disappointing then spending $150 on a jacket that you can no longer wear because it is out of style nearly the next month and with never come back into style, what a waste of money! Well the other reason why I love J. Crew is because they take this into consideration and make  sure a huge amount of their selection is classic/timeless. For example, cardigans, peacoats,blazers, trenchcoats, buttoned up collared tops, etc...

BONUS: One other little bonus perk about J.Crew is how they have started with rather humble beginnings only selling their product out of a catalogue to expanding into an empire...

J.Crew is a one stop shop for the whole family. With clothing for women, men, and CrewCuts for the kids, wedding wear, dog wear, jewelry, shoes, accessories....they have it all and do so well at it not slacking in any area!

Andre 3000 named one of the "Best New Designers in America" by GQ Magazine

Andre 3000, part of the group Outkast has a background in hip-hop, has recently moved toward his acting career, and is now in the fashion limelight. Will his line Benjamin Bixby do well after signing with upscale Barneys.com exclusively in the U.S.?

We shall see.....

Andre's pieces range from $95-$395

Even though I want Andre Benjamin's line to do really well I am not sure I believe it will with price points that are so high. I also don't think it was a necessarily good idea to sign an exclusive contract with Barney's unless they offered him a significant amount of money.

Andre brings something new to the fashion Industry he's going with an era that not too many designers touch, circa 1935 and adding a modern day flare that I can appreciate. I am cheering him on and hope for the best....
