Welcome to Janelle Monae!

Earthlings, meet Janelle Monae, the hottest thing that crash landed since UFO's! Janelle is not your average recording artist...she has descended from the cosmos with a mission to change the world, much like me. But her vice is music. Her first album is def. among my top 5 in my iPOD and her bio is unlike any other artist i've read up on.

"I want to be looked at as a leader and a businesswoman," she says. "I really feel that music and artists have a huge influence in the way we think. My goal is to help bring as many people as I possibly can together with my music." But it isn't solely about the music. "With regards to the way that I dress, to the things that come out of my mouth, I'm really trying to give a different perspective." Considering for a moment, she adds, "and I think there are a lot of young girls out there who are like me."

There should be no question as to why I'm blogging about this pioneer of the future......her FASHION! Janelle has such a unique sense of style its almost absurd (in the most positive way possible!!) There are no other female recording artist out there with a futuristic style like hers. She dares to be different and she wears it oh so well! I love her girly tomboy look and that hairstyle of hers is so inspirational! Her music and def. her fashion motivates me to go to places that others dare not go and do things that most are afraid to do with my fashion! Thanks Janelle! Props to Ms. Janelle Monae...I so cannot wait to meet her in person!

The Rule of 3!

The Rule of 3 is essential in modern-day styles and looks. If your two-piece ain't hittin' it, maybe you need a biscuit to set it off! The rule is based upon the principal of layering! The rule states that:

a third piece may be the charm that your outfit requires to be trendy, therefore, one must add a third to the two-some of awesomeness that is your ensemble.

What can be the third piece? A tie, a vest, a scarf, shades/frames, a hat/beanie, a neckpiece, a flashy belt buckle, a jacket/blazer or sweater, a button-up shirt, a man bag......

Interpretation: When your outfit is lacking or is just not giving you what you need when you look in the mirror, throw something else on with it to give you the edge.

Suited For the Summer!

Guys....this summer lets give linen pants and khaki shorts a break. Going to a party? A wedding? Fancy outing? Social Soiree? Whatever the occasion...a suit will def. make you the center of attention. They are light-weight, they come in neutral yet fabulous colors, and they are extremely versatile. Paired with a light-weight short-sleeved or long-sleeved button-down shirt, a skinny tie or a summer scarf, and a dashing pair of loafers, this suit can never fail you. The best thing about it is that it is layers; so by the end of the party if you've party'd too hardily you can still look debonair w/o the jacket!

Get bold and try wearing a solid color or slight graphic tee with some edgy low-top sneakers!!!! Get even bolder and wear some golf shorts with the blazer and some high-top sneakers!!!!!!!! Get even MORE bold and wear a super low v-neck tee with a rosary or a feminine neckpiece!!!!! HA...I'm a freakin' genius!

Suit Tip: So what if you can't afford a designer suit or one outta the GQ! Check out your local dept. store, H&M always has good suits at great prices, or hell check out your local thrift store and get it altered to fit you! whew! suits make me feel some kinda way!! ok i'm done!

I'm back in business!
