Styling Tips for Winter Pt. 2

Reds
Sure, you can always grab your tried-and-true trench coat or your beloved wool sweater to stay warm, but why not mix it up this season? Inspired by today's seven tastemakers, we're eager to take our wardrobes to new levels (some more advanced than others). We'll be swapping our standard ankle boots for over-the-knee styles as seen on Taylor Tomasi Hill, piling on the stripes like Rihanna, and experimenting with bold color-blocking thanks to a stylish civilian. Read on for the rest of our Styling Tips, and be sure to let us know how you'll be stepping outside your comfort zone this month!

“Don’t believe me jus watch!!”

Plums
So there's this new rapper that's blowing up everywhere named Trinidad James & I have no idea what to make of him. My lil brother told me about him, showed me his video & I was so enthralled, to say the least, by his appearance that I barely paid attention to the music. When I referred to him all I could talk about was how crazy he looked & I try not to make a habit of being shallow, so I said let me give his music a chance. A few days later his song "All Gold Everything" comes on the radio but once again I'm distracted by every other word being bleeped out to focus on the song!!, which in my mind if you hafta bleep out that much it probably shouldn't…

What if I’m just smart?

Plums
If you've been out to the club, have been up on your twerk music or owned a radio in the past few months then you've heard the smash hit "Smart Girl, Dumb Booty" by Tex James ft B.O.B. & Stuey Rock. Now I've had my crazy fun,wear flat or take off your heels, dance til you sweat out ya perm club days & they are long gone! lol! Now a days it's not many songs that'll make me wanna "drop it like this, drop it like this girl!!" but this is definitely one of em!! I especially like this song because Tex James reps the 478 & is a dj at 97.9WIBB, a local radio station of which I am a regular listener. A few days ago he released the official video,…

Yesterday history was made AGAIN!!!! 4 years ago President Barack Obama made history as the first African American President of the United States, and last night he did it again by getting reelected in what some saw as an unexpected victory!! For me, this years election was completely different than four years ago. Back then I was in college watching the results in a dorm with my friends, however, this time around I was at work directing our local newscast. Back then when we found out he won my friends and I ran out screaming onto the courtyard with the rest of our classmates, then took off running to the other side of campus screaming Young Jeezy's "My President is Black"!! lol!

Styling Tips for Fall Pt. 3

Reds
Though dirndls first originated as a native German costume worn at Oktoberfest, designers have reworked this traditional full-skirted silhouette into a modern must-have—and the season's essential skirt shape. Dirndls enjoyed a moment in the '50s, when voluminous skirts and cinched-in waistlines were a hallmark of the era's fashions, and they're now experiencing a runway resurrection in a variety of contemporary colors, textures, and patterns. A classic dirndl skirt calls for a circular cut with a gathered waistband and below-the-knee hemline, and while modern-day styles vary a bit, the look is always a cross between coy and sweet. Lest you think dirndls are only suitable for the von Trapps, we're showing you exactly how to wear them in today'sTrend Report. On The Runway We were particularly fond of Marc Jacob's F/W…

So if you're a military brat or are just good at acronyms then you know what the title means. For those of you who don't, dont feel bad, neither did I til my coworkers told me! lol!
