Happy Shopping!

Favorite Fashionistas of 2009!

When narrowing down who my Favorite Fashionistas of ’09 were, I had a little bit of difficulty. To me a fashionista is someone who manages to be Fly, Fearless and Flawless most of the time. All of the time isn’t really possible, but whether in sweatpants or in skirts they exude an air of confidence that makes you believe they look great in anything they have on. I just wanted to make sure that all the women I chose were not only fly by society’s standards, but by their own. I believe fashion isn’t about doing what everyone else is doing; it’s doing what works best for you! So Big Fashion hats off to you ladies, you really did your thing this year! The always fashion forward, Rihanna. Little Ms [killing that buzz cut] Funky Diva Solange Knowles. The forever chic dark and lovely Kerry Washington. The ever so graceful Michelle Obama. And My Favorite Haute Couture loving, Hermes Birkin Bag rocking Stylista, June Ambrose! As always, I’d love to here your opinions, tell me what you think

Fashion Funny- Did you know?

 Snapple "Real Fact": In Athens, Greece a driver's license can be taken away by law if the driver is deemed either "unbathed" or "poorly dressed". Man, and I thought the fashion police on the E! network was hardcore. But to all you fashion misfits out there, think twice before pulling these stunts. [SMH]

(Men's) Flyest Fashionable Moments of 2009

I LOVE A WELL DRESSED MAN. Heck, I love any well dressed human being period, but let's just focus on the men right now. All of the men featured here typically have or are evolving with a great sense of style. These moments are when they just took it to another level. I've been a fan of Trey Songz since he had a "dollar and a dream" a wife-beater and cornrows, and I'm loving the way his fashion choices have matured as of late! Here he is in a clean cut wearing a three piece Hounds tooth suit with an eggplant colored tie at DJ. Clue's Birthday Party in NYC in early February- tres sexy! Who’s better than Ari Gold?! The talented Jeremy Piven is pictured here at the SAG awards in July rocking a classic tailored Black suit and skinny tie, but looks great in just about anything he puts on. Not to mention no one pulls off the "scruffy look" like he does. Maxwell, fortunately made a huge comeback this year, here he is with a clean cut and a very gangster double breasted brown pin striped suit the pretty wings are all a flutter around him at The BET Awards in July. From the first time he addressed the nation as the President to speaking at President Clinton’s Global Initiative in October he’s given us nothing but refined tasteful suiting like in this navy blue with silver accent ensemble. Barack Obama has got to have the worst job in the world right now, but he continues to look good doing it. Ladies and gentlemen: Usher Raymond! My was mouth agape when he stepped out in this military style Jacket, shades and gloves during HBO’s Inauguration special in Washington DC. After he let go of the durag and the pant dropping stage, Usher seldom disappoints me when it comes to fashion. His swagger is on a trillion right here…My goodness, will you just look at him?! Those are my picks for best dressed male 2009! Agree? Disagree? Speak up, let me know!

H&M and "Sonia's Secret?"

So! Remember sometime ago when I told you guys about H&M collaborating with Knit wear designer Sonia Rykiel? Well in that same post I vaguely mentioned the fact that there will also be lingerie to go along with the line, rightfully so, we have to wear something underneath our clothes, no? Yes. Here's a sneak peek of the line. Now these ladies aren't exactly giving me Victoria's Secret fierceness on the runway, but the pieces are uber cute. Tell me what you think about it!

Hope you made out nicely underneath the Christmas tree, but as always there's room for a little more. So for those of you lucky ass Gift card holders, spend wisely, look out for these sales:

Music Fly - Young Forever Video

Music Fly- I Digg ...

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm in love, with new music that is. R&B music has resurfaced and catapulted back in to the greatness that it once was and I couldn't be happier. Music lovers, have you ever anticipated an album so much and been disappointed? Sucks, right? Well, not this time! Honestly this has been one of the few times that I've purchased multiple CD's in a short period and has had a hard time deciding what to listen to because it's all so good!! This hasn't happened since the days of Carl Thomas, 112 and Donnell Jones. [Ahh…High School…sigh] Anyway, just thought I’d share my thoughts: Trey Songz – is ready for a Best Vocal performance Grammy, the end. Chris Brown- makes you want me want to graffiti “Back and better than ever” all over public property. Alicia Keys freely covers every element of love you can possible think of. Ryan Leslie has transitioned flawlessly from producer to singer to sometimes rapper while telling his story in song. If you haven’t already done so, go out and purchase these albums. I call it the "make it through the winter soundly” collection. If I sincerely like something I’ll always offer a positive opinion about it. These artists should cut me a check. [lol] Happy listening!

A Dash of Life. - HATE.

Some people hate you for a valid reason, you've wronged them somehow. But that person that hates you for no reason at all is a disease! The devil knows that they have a wicked heart and he uses them as a tool to get at you. So at every step of the way that person will hate. Let's say you and  your friends go out and the bill comes to $500, if you pay $20 they'll call you cheap, if you pay $400 they'll say "you are showing off, or call you big shot". No matter what you do they will seek to destroy your soul and make your existence a horrible experience. Once you identify who this person is, you must cut them off from your network immediately! Don't be mad, be glad that God has exposed them for who they really are, the devil was hoping that you remained blind and oblivious to that wolf in sheep's clothing.                                                                                                                         -Bobby Stone-
