TAKING IT BACK TUESDAY PART II




I can't help it...I AM HIP-HOP!



Fashion Corner: Vinnies Styles


All the way from Brooklyn to the Dirty South, Vinnie's Styles has made a seamless transition from the N.Y. grit to that dirty southern hospitality. Meshing well with the southern culture thats evolved into the same melting pot of L.A. or N.Y., Vinnie's Styles has been the "go to" spot for skaters , socials, hip hop heads and fashion lovers.

The newest Atlanta location in Little Five Points houses such brands as Nudie Jeans, Maharishi, New Era, Clea, exclusive Nike's and more.

P.S. I love the N.Y. flare of the bright lights!!!

So I decided it's time for me to rep the best coast...the west coast. Now throw those dubs ((W's)) in the air and do the Penn State for me one time. lol...I love LA! If you used to go to Sharks downtown or to any KMP party in the 90's you know what's up!

Last nite I attended the Act1 Showcase at 595 North, ( will post pictures from that event later today) and during the Hollyweerd show, I was delighted by the sounds of Stagolee on the sax.

Last year CNN featured four selections of Jaspects’ music in the 2008 documentary “Black in America.Watch it here.

One of my favorite designers to date, Herve Leger by Max Azria, has been killing the scene for some time with his notable pieces that a true fashionista can detect with the slightest glimpse.

If you're not familiar with the name, I bet you're familiar with the below dresses.


Herve Leger.. Hubba Hubba, the ultimate sexxy dress! And at over 1500.00 a pop..... it better be super!

For the Fall 09 Collection, the sex appeal was maintained but there was a call to the wild creating one of the most aggressive collections to date for the designer.
