For the Fashion Connoisseur
The Jonas Brothers are currently gracing the cover for the latest edition of Seventeen magazine, and in there interview eldest JoBro had this to say about their fashion:
"You will not find us in sweatpants. That's not who we are. And you have to stay true to who you are. I'm dressing kind of nicely all the time now. But then it's like, What am I going to do next?"
- Kevin Jonas tells the new issue of Sevnteen magazine
I can faintly hear someone saying I told you so...

For My THICK MADAME'S
For all my size 12 and up, we have a reason to rejoice. Tomorrow Forever 21 will launch their new plus size line Faith 21. From the Look Book I am a little lukewarm to the new designs, but Forever 21 usually as a wide selection of a variety of styles so I am still holding out. Unfortunately the closest store to carry the line will be Pentagon City mall in VA, but if you need to get your hands on some cute, cheap plus sized designs you already know all the clothes will be available on line. Peep some of the designs and let me know what you think.
Would you buy anything from the Faith 21 line? Are you even excited about the new line?

Morning Ki-Ki
I guess we know who had too much to drink at the bachelor party. I just hope he didn't mess his head up with that fall.
Inside I'm still laughing, shame on me.

I Want You, I Need You
Now, tell me these Etro paisley, satin shoes aren't everything and I'll slap you. It's something about the intricate paisley print in correlation to the red detailing that drives me wild. The next question is what would I wear with these? I'd probably go with a cropped dress pant to show the ankle, a classic white button down (ralph lauren of course) & a simple fedora. That would give them man with a mission teas. I see it!

**NEW MUSIC** Drake & Dj Rob Mixtape
The Drake movement is steady growing. There's no musically incline place you can go where they aren't talking about Drake right now. His lyrical content, his delivery and just his overall swag. As I think about Drake and his success right now, I can't help but compare him to the early days of Kanye West; It's something about the samples Drake's using along with his lyrical delivery that makes him reminiscent of early Yeezy. Well, the tracks I've pulled are a collaboration between Dj Rob & Drake and are featured on Dj Rob's latest mixtape. Get into the music and if you know someone who isn't on the Drake movement yet, let them hear these songs and they'll be a guaranteed member.

Take The Fantasy Ride
So, I've been talking about Ciara and her third studio album, Fantasy Ride forever. The album which is set to release on May 5, 2009 through Laface features appearances from Ludacris, Chris Brown, The Dream along with an array of other artist. The two lead singles "Never Ever" and "Love Sex Magic" have set the album apart from Ciara's earlier albums just for the growth in her vocals alone. Below, I've included some songs from the album which I like thus far. Get into them and make sure you pick up the album May 5th when it hits stores.

Looking Into My World
Occupying 935 Pacific street is the first completed building of helloliving, a chic and upscale urban community. The building has a modern zen look and feel with broad windows that provide a beautiful view of the city life.
I love the architecture of the building and the almost breath taking landscaping but, I don't know how I'd feel about everyone being able to see what I do everyday. How would you use the restroom, shower or enjoy an intimate time with your partner? I guess it'd just be you, your mate and the world!

I'm Not New To This, I'm True To This
Sighting: Mary-Kate on the mean, lean streets of NYC.
It's something about this chick that drives me crazy. I don't know if it's her ability to tip without remorse or her "I don't need you to like me" attitude. Get into that floral print dress, those black wedge and the signature Ozzy Osbourne inspired glasses. She's a force to be reckoned with. Get familiar!

One Leg Up On The Competition
Today the topic for discussion is Leggings. According to Wikipedia, Leggings in contemporary usage are tight, form-fitting trousers that extend from the waist to the ankles. Now how true or false that definition is, is un-important. I'm just taking on leggings in the current day. I've noticed the huge trend in leggings ranging from celebrities to even modern day fashionistas. It's something about the ability to wear them with an array of things that attracts buyers. I was cruising a FAB blog called Glam Canyon when I came across these cool pictures of women in leggings. I love how both women above are playing with the versatility of leggings. They're not doing too much but, just enough. A big thing when it comes to fashion is comfort. Alot of people tell me all the time "Fashion Connoisseur, I want to try this and that but, I'm scared it's going to be uncomfortable." Now comfort and leggings are interchangeable. Hello women, they come in everything from cotton to lycra, how much more comfortable could you get? Well, below I've posted some options of different leggings for you to consider incorporating into your wardrobe. Now, you can't say I've never done anything for you!

YGT meet Henry Watkins, Henry Watkins meet YGT! As the fresh face of Red Model Management, NYC; Henry's mug is one to be on the lookout for. Get into the angles of that face, it's one that could compared to any of the greats. Another great element of Watkins face is its versatility; I could see his face in print or on the runway and when you have a mug that allows you to work both, your onto something. You got it here first at YGT, Henry Watkins mug is TEA! All I can say is CARTA! CARTA! CARTA!

Want Les Essentiels De La Vie
Da Vinci in Burnt Henna - $1755
I've been on the lookout for the perfect summer bag. I need something that is very versatile; from the concept of being able to be carried to class, internships, work and even weekend trips. I found this exquisite Da Vinci bag by Want Les Essentiels and fell in love. I adore the camel colored bag which is spacious yet quaint, versatile in the best sense and allows you the option to wear it in a variety of ways; tote, messanger and duffel. What else would you like? Some gold lining?!
You love my antics, admit it!
