the Louis Vuitton Don

so yall know I love fashion and music, with that in mind it is obvi why i look up to 
Kanye West



This artist is well known by everyone for his amazing lyrics, captivating beats and his uncontrollable mouth. His words have gotten him on both the Top 10 List and the Sh*t List of a couple presidents :D. No matter what people think, his style is undeniable. 

With the release of his Louis Vuitton shoe line concreted his position in fashion. His urban style combined with the luxury of Louis Vuitton has intrigued a large group of young hip-hopsters. Here are a couple pics of the Louis Vuitton Don rockin Louis

This pic is simply amazing! Hes rockin his own Louis Vuitton sneakers with the special edition Louis Vuitton monogramouflage keepall

and you gotta love this Damier Azur Christopher backpack. Rumor is he waited a year and a half just for this one.

Dress like an Exec, pay like an intern

We all love looking good, but can we always afford to do so? YES!

As I prepare to enter my 20's I find my style developing more and more into a professional attire, however my wallet is still that of a college student, so what do I do? GET CREATIVE

Looking fly in your suit doesnt require you stepping out in the most expensive designer suit. Here are a few executive looks that you can get on your student budget.

Step out in this grey suit and turn heads while still keeping your wallet full. This wool blend suit by Topman is only $200 off the rack. 



Gotta love this whipcord suit. Its getting warm outside, so put the wool suit towards the back of the closet and pull out your lighter fabrics like whipcord. The suit gives you a seersucker feel with a modern fabric. This sizzling summertime suit is by Uniqulo for only $120.


And the ultimate summer/fall suit is a light khaki suit that can be worn separately for a more casual look or together for a fashion forward executive look. This great necessity suit is available at H&M for only $
$179.


No matter how much you pay for your suit, remember, in order to give your suit that EXECUTIVE LOOK, visit a tailor and get it altered just for you. Some common alterations include, getting the torso of the jacket taken in to fit your body (AVOID THE BOXY LOOK), getting the legs taken up (AVOID THE BAGGY LOOK) and getting the sleeves taken up (AVOID THE LONG ARMS). If you are trying to go for a more modern/fashion forward look, try narrowing the arms and legs of the suit. This gives a more European fit and it flattering for most body types.

in the still of the night


So right now its 3:20 am on Monday morning and I am sitting in bed watching an old episode of Family Matters and decided to blog :D

I really LOVE this show! I used to watch it all the time back in the day. I used to pretend I had a special transforming machine like urkel..hahaha...

I feel like the shows back in that time were soooo much better than the shows today. Think about all the great shows...

My Brother and Me
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Martin
Moesha
and those are just to name a few...Dont get me wrong, I love my reality shows, but I LOVE LOVE these shows! I will def have these (and a few others) in my collection. I need to find them all on DVD real soon...maybe i will put these on my wishlist :D

Rising Star

So yall know I love music and periodically I just go on and look through youtube videos of up and coming/undiscovered singers. Apparently I have spread that hobby to some of my friends because today I got a call from a good friend who told me about a new person he found on youtube...he said "Have you heard of BLAIR PERKINS? You have to look at his videos!!"

Well I looked and my friend was right, it was AMAZING! This young artist covers songs from some of the greatest artist, Michael Jackson, Usher, Ne-yo and Beyonce. Here are some of the songs that I saw and LOVED!!




^^This one is probably my favorite! I love the song and his cover was amazing!! ^^

Today, on my way back from LA (there will be a blog about that soon) i stopped to pick up my new friend!!



My 13" Macbook Pro!!!


I am absolutely in love..after 2.5 years with my Sony Vaio, I finally made the transition into Macville and I am loving my journey thus far. I got home, ate dinner and immediately started playing with my new gadget. 

It is equipped with soo many cool technologies that will help me on my daily tasks as a student, blogger and as a person :D

I am sure I will be keeping everyone up to date with my progress of this technical transition, but I am soooo excited :D
