Men's fashion, anyone?

Sooo...I have come to the realization that when it comes to male fashion, I'm completely in the dark. All that matters is that the guy looks nice and fresh. But I'm not afraid to call on help when I need it. So if you have an interest in men's fashion, go to 'The Nautical Urbanite', courtesy of my best friend. Click here to jump.

Who's that Girlllll?♪♫

It's Mercedes Scelba-Shorte, aka
Mercedes Yvette

I'm being serious---Thigh High boots are finally emerging into the world of high fashion. LOVE them. As long as we keep 'em classy, of course :)

STOP the madness!!!!!!!!!!!! No, Seriously.

So I've been meaning to ask: WHAT IN TARNATION (yes, I said tarnation) is up with the obsession with the ugly half shaved-half normal hairdo fad? It's reminds me of if Britney Spears became sane halfway through her shaving rampage. UGhhh it's hiddeous! And now one of my favorite style icons is "rockin" it too--Robyn Rihanna Fenty. Negative points for her. She's supposed to be a trendsetter, not following a stupid fad. I mean, it's not cute at all. Well, Rihanna's isnt bad. But Cassie, La La, & Fantasia--even Selma Blair--look a HOT mess!! Who's next?

Kelis, show 'em how it's done, girlll:

Thank you. (I'll ignore your shaved head slip-ups, though--the style in blonde is not for you, boo):


Yeahhh leave that bottle of bleach alone.

Featured Beauty Icon: K.D. Aubert

You may know her as Giselle from Soul Plane, Donna in Friday After Next, or as the original Red (Strawberry) Fantana (spokesmodel for Fanta), Nina. Some call her the Black Angelina Jolie because of her luscious lips and blatant sex appeal. All of these are true. And in my opinion, she's FAR too underrated. She's apparently coming out with music as well (not sure how I feel about that, lol), and with a look like that, she'll be hard to forget.
...and yes people, her eyes are green. Gorgeous. *girl crush alert!!!*

Weavy Wreck

Not being a hater but...What's really good with Bey's hair these days? NOT that ish, sorry. All that money, and you can't get a good wig or weave? She needs to hit up Brandy for some tips forreal. Like I said before, NOT being a hater. She usually looks fab, but recently, the hair has been killing me softly, lol

Shake your derrière...

...in your House of Deréon. I'm not usually a Beyoncé/Tina Knowles fan, but their high-end line, House of Deréon is that ish. Though they're out of my price range (or anybody's) and I haven't a ball to be the belle of in them, the designs are nothing short of genius and beauty. Check them out--it's well worth it. I know WHEN I make my red carpet debut, I'll be hittin up Mama Tina, lol (advice--I will NEVER admit this in public if you ask. So don't.)

Played Outtttttttt

Ok, so initially, I liked the whole Hervé Ledger phenom. But I think it's getting out of hand, and well, PLAYED OUTTTTTTTT. I mean, EVERYBODY has these dresses and everyone wears them to the same red-carpet events and it's redundant and becoming annoying. PLUS the Hervé Ledger collection is getting ridiculous. Check this swimsuit. I mean, really? All of her business is outside, and she's a size -3. I'm a size 12, and I laugh at the notion of someone like me (though I am very comfortable with my curves) wearing something as ridiculous as this suit. NOO thanks. 1) cover yourself and 2) the model needs a cheeseburger. ;-)

Baby Phat Going Under?

One of fashion's fiercest diva queens is facing the possibility of having to relinquish her crown and declare bankruptcy. Kimora Lee Simmons, creator of urban fashion line, Baby Phat (as well as her own high-end line KLS) is said to be considering the possibility of filing for bankruptcy due to financial problems like debt. The former model's fashion line is supplied by Kellwood, Co. and an agreement could not be reached so apparently, it's only a matter of time. God, I hope not...I love Baby Phat :)
