of restaurants, beaches and watersports, a casino and an active
nightlife scene. It is also one of the busiest ports for cruise

Gwen stefani is one of my style Icons, she knows how to dress up when the occasion calls for it, but she also knows how to dress down and have "style dignity" in casual wear.

It was made famous by the egyptian pharoes and African Kings and nobility and was thrown back into this generation by hip hop, gangsters, rappers and pimps (dont you love how the universe works) Many of you may not know this but I LOVE me some bling on a man. Fellas don't listen to the critics of bling, they just dont understand that sometimes you want to spend money on something that makes you giggle to your self. Bling is really self indulgent (in a good way). Dont get me wrong I love it when... Continue reading ...

 We all know that crack is whack, but thanks to the too-little-too-late minds at Kimberlily,
those of you who insist on wearing those god-awful ultra low-rise jeans
of yesteryear can cover that crack and prevent unwanted tip-drills with
a bedazzled Backtacular. That, or you can just buy pants that fit your
ass. credits:fashionindie Continue reading ...

I remember my days as a bank employee, the money was good but I hated the "dress code" I always found a way of bending the laws enough where I was professional but still dope and edgy. Bend the rules Girls!!!  This Ashley Isham get up can work if you wear something under the see through skirt, Otherwise this could work as is if you work in the playboy mansion  This Erdem outfit will work as is but if they have a jacket rule at your office you can easily throw a cropped one over this dress  I would...

Rose Cordero is her name and fierce is her game (honestly am over the "fierce" word ma self am looking to replace it with a new invention) But I digress she is refreshingly beautiful  Rose on the cover of Vogue  She doesn't quite look like her but she reminds me of Liya Kebede Commercial enough to book magazines, yet edgy enough for runway  hunch back bby!!
