Fashion..D&G Spring/Summer Shows

So Milan Fashion week started this week and I have for you.....Dolce and Gabana!!!

Spring and Summer 2009 Womenswear

In this show D&G really went sailor on us and I actually really liked it. The evening dresses not soo much. All I was thinking in my mind when I saw them was "Don't go near the microwave". I loved the bathing suits, but I was trying to figure out girl like me with some hips and curves would look in one?? Hmm. I also liked the slightly masculine looks, they were so sexy to me. Overall, this was a great show, and I will definitely be looking for some knock-offs of this line.

Spring and Summer 2009 Menswear

To me it seems that they played up the young Clark Kent look up for this line. I like the clean suits, of course it is fashion so there were one to many metro-sexual looks for me. Overall, I thought it was a good show with some wearable potential with the dress shirts, tie, and the skinny pants.

What do you think of D&G's Summer Spring line? Let me know.

Fashion..The Essential Acessory for ALL

SO, seeing that we are ending summer, heading to fall, and then comes the dreadful winter. I wanted to update you on the one uni-sex article of clothing that looks great in all seasons. Yes, I said it..All seasons, and it's for the ladies and the fellas. Drum roll please...The always trendy and fashionable...Scarf!!

Ladies, I know you know about this great trend, so no need to school you too much. I rocked a couple of scarves this summer and I plan on taking them into the next seasons. Bigga has been doing the scarves a lot more lately too. It gives the laid back, yet sexy, casual looks.

Fellas you might need a little more help. I know there are still a lot of guys who still refuse to rock the scarves. So I'm going to tell you how to do it while still keeping your personal style.

Here's a couple of ways to rock the scarves:
The Wrap-Around (above middle): A good choice for this season's longer scarves. Note: Once around the neck is enough—you're going for a donut here, not a cinnamon swirl.

The Hoxton: A basic overhand knot named for a neighborhood in London that was trendy a couple of years back. Good for wearing under high-lapel coats or a Boateng tweed blazer.

The Euro (above left): The popped collar of knots—in other words, strictly for the 29-and-under crowd. Works well with shorter wool or cashmere scarves.

The Traditional Drape: A pro pros when wearing an old-school overcoat, which is why your dad does it. Yawn.

The Drama Teacher (above right): Perfect for a silk scarf and black turtleneck—indoors and out. In other words, to be avoided at all costs.


So I know my ladies are feeling me but how about my fellas..Are you going to be rocking your scarves this year...or are you already ahead of the fashion curve?

Hit me up and let me know..
Also head on over to GAP..they have got great scarf fabrics and colors that won't break your bank account. Ladies don't forget the designer scarf around the hair look, I def got the compliments when I rocked it.

Sports.. Olympics Recap

Hello again, on the last day of the Olympics; a lot went on while you were sleeping so I made the sacrifice to bring you all the action for ya bright and early.

Early Saturday morning the Women's basketball team won their 4th straight Gold medal and Spain. The U.S. Men's Olympic basketball team survived a huge challenge from Spain, winning 118-107 Sunday in the gold-medal game.

US Men's volleyball competed in the Gold medal match against Brazil and came out with the win. Plus, China brought their artistic touches again for the closing ceremonies. Taking this Olympic ride with you guys has been real fun, complete with jaw drops and all kinds of emotions. So let's do this again in another four years..same time, same place, different year. 2012; London.

My favorite moments were watching the James Blake and Roger Feder tennis match, the Micheal Phelps on the real close mill-second swims, and Men's basketball final match. What were yours? Hit me up and let me know.

Fashion.

Okay, this one is for the fellas. I got some flack about not telling the guys what to wear. Also, a friend of mine always says that ladies clothing is much cheaper than guys clothing. I don't think that is true but, I'm going to somewhat put an end to that myth by giving you some options.


So, from what I have been told, having two older brothers. I have come to find that the best way to start and keep GQ swagger is to start with 10 ties and 10 shirts..of course this is dependent on you having slacks first. (So, make sure you have a least 3 pairs of tailored and fitted slacks:Black, Gray, Khaki) If you have those you'll be straight.

Giving yourself 10 tie and shirt combinations gives you at least 100 opportunities to get your swexy on. (SWEXY- Swagger and Sexy) Here is a couple of options that I like the best.

I definitely feel like I gave you guys a good foundation. If there is some fashion questions you might have, or something that I just need to know (I've been told I don't know everything) hit me up. Plus, of course, I need to hear from the fellas just to make sure I did ya right, but don't I always?
