In With The Cold, In With The New

Express Your Style

     The fall/winter season is coming up and my favorite part about that, besides the holidays, is the clothing that comes with it. One of my favorite stores to shop at is Express, so here are a few of their new, must-have looks that I love for both men and women!







Go out and SHOP!

Dirty Denim

Jeans: Wash, Wear, Wear, Wear, Wear, Repeat

     When it comes to clothing, we often feel the need to wash, dry, wear, and repeat the cycle, but are jeans the exception to that routine? Or is that dirty?
     I have had many discussions with friends about this fashion "issue" and most of them actually admitted to not washing their jeans before every time they wear them! I do this too, but I have never admitted it because I always thought people would think it is a bit disgusting and unsanitary- but who cares?
     The main benefit of not washing your jeans before every time you wear them is that they don't get faded as quickly, and these days a good pair of jeans can be expensive- so why waste them by erasing the color you paid for within a couple weeks? You want your jeans to stay looking brand new, so it is pretty safe to say that it is acceptable to wash them maybe every 4 or 5 times you wear them, unless they are clearly dirty or smell bad!


    
     Although this is just about denim jeans, this could also be a sort of life lesson... When you speak up about something you may feel self conscious about, or something you feel that only you do, you just might come to realize that other people are experiencing the same things. Don't be afraid to share anything about your life because the odds are that someone out there is going to relate to you and say, "Hey! I do that too!"...

Much love to all my dirty-jean-wearers,

Happy Birthday Drizzy!

Drake Turns 25 Today!

     As many of you know, I look up to certain people in life, especially people from the entertainment industry, and rapper Drake is one of them. His last album titled "Thank Me Later" is one of the best rap/hip-hop albums I have heard in a while. It is so real and raw and you can tell that every single word he says comes from his heart and has deep meaning. This dude is the real thing.
     Today(October 24th) is his birthday, so what better way to celebrate it than to post some of my favorite songs by him...
     His new album titled "Take Care" comes out on November 15th and it is going to be a great one, including his already amazing singles "Make Me Proud" featuring Nicki Minaj, and MY song "Headlines"!


"Yeah, the real is on the rise" -Drake


HAPPY BIRTHDAY DRIZZY DRAKE!

I hope it was a good one!

We Found Love In A Hopeless Place

The New Video from Rihanna

     So last week, my friend Melissa and I were bored in Yearbook class so we were watching new music videos on the internet. I had heard that Rihanna let out a new video and I was just a little curious so I decided we should watch it. We instantly fell in love with it, so much that we actually watched it more than once! This is one of the best music videos out right now because it actually has a story and meaning to it. The video for "We Found Love" shows a couple who starts out all happy and cute together, but the relationship quickly takes a turn for the worst when the couple falls into a negative life of drugs and fighting all the time. Take out the whole drugs part and this video is totally relatable to most people... There is something about the fast paced scene switches and the colors and the things they do in the video that just strike a certain emotion. I hope you enjoy, here it is the brand new music video for "We Found Love" by Rihanna!

By the way, this is Rihanna's first single off of her upcoming album called "Talk That Talk", set to be released on November 21st. This girl is an extremely hard working woman and I can definitely respect that- she just got done promoting her last single on her previous album titled "Loud" and already has the new one coming out. Her albums have never disappointed me, and I am sure the new one won't either- I can't even wait!
Shout out to my best friend Moe too, who discovered this video with me! Love you Melissa!

Carmen Marc Valvo

At Audi Houston Fashion Week October 2011

     Last week was Houston Fashion Week sponsored by Audi, and there were many designers including my favorite (who I also got to actually meet back in February).
     Carmen Marc Valvo is one of the best American fashion designers of all time and it was a huge deal to have him present his line at Houston Fashion Week! Although I didn't get to go, I still love the fact that the New York based designer felt Houston was important enough in the fashion world to participate this year. As always, his line did not dissapoint!

Thanks for reading, and stay fashionable and inspired!

Finally, You Put My Love On Top!

The New Beyonce Music Video for "Love On Top"

     Less than ten days after Beyonce premiered her adorable video for "Countdown", she is at it again with her new music video for the hit song "Love On Top" which she famously performed at this year's MTV VMA awards! In this video, Beyonce and her back up dancers go back in time to recreate dance moves and styles that popular motown male groups such as The Jackson 5 and The Temptations used to perform with. Watch the whole thing- I promise you won't be dissapointed! Here it is... Enjoy!


I hope you liked it just as much as I did!
