Drama Queen

Who’s tired of Brett Favre already? We love to see him play but why is there so much drama before the season starts? Stop it Brett.

Airline Baggage Fees

This is starting to get out of hand, I hope that other Airlines don’t follow Spirit Airlines who has announced soon that they will start charging up to $45.00 per carry on bag that needs to be stored in the overhead. This is simply getting out of control. Next you will have to buy a seat for your luggage!

Men, It’s Cold Outside….Put Your Coat On!!!

Overcoat: an introduction

Author: John Richard

A long coat that is worn above suits or casual dresses is called as an overcoat. It was actually military attire. It was worn by the soldiers and the like to keep themselves warm from the snowy environment during winters. Then it became a fashion statement and was included in everyone’s wardrobe. They are 2 types of overcoats; single breasted and double breasted. Army personnel prefer single breasted. Navy personnel on the other hand wear double breasted. It is a vital item that should contain in a man’s wardrobe regardless of what he does for a living. It is great attire that will save you from the fierceness of winter. It is highly priced clothing. Therefore not many will go in for more than one overcoat purchase. So, the one that they buy in their lifetime should be wearable at any moment of the fashion cycle.

Overcoats are common attire worn during winters. There are worn for special occasion too. When you decide to buy one for yourself, decide on the following;

Fabric
Single/ double breasted
Length

Select a fabric that is very durable. Since it is a one time buy for many of us. It is best to go in for fabrics such as wool, cashmere etc so that it lasts long. Avoid buying those that have hanging threads and manufacturing defects. Choose a style that is classic and can be worn anytime and anywhere. Look for the right fit and the one that suits your body shape. Make sure that there is sufficient number of pockets available on your overcoat. Pockets are very vital. A long overcoat should be worn by a man with the right physique. Opt for a short one if you are of normal build.

You can make an online purchase if you feel that you are too lazy to go in for a showroom purchase. It is actually an easy way of making a purchase to choose the internet way. It saves fuel, time and energy. Moreover you sit at the comfort of your home and make a hassle free purchase. You can have a look at the entire collection that a brand can offer you. You can also compare them with the other options and choose the cheapest yet worthy purchase at your own pace. Purchasing online will save your from going to shop to shop to compare prices and then make an informed purchase. But choose those sites that are the most trusted to buy your overcoat. There are many fake sites that only aim at squeezing your money for nothing. They make courier a damaged piece to you and make you run behind them to get it changed. This will spoil the very reason why you choose to buy online.

HIGH SOCIETIES

Dear Lovelies,

Its interesting the many and different societies that this world has. Each has their own set of requirements, whether education levels, financial standings, personal style, or some are merely based on what you are willing to do. As I am writing this I am coming to you live from a place whose society I do not belong to and am completely okay with that. The event itself, which is to celebrate the nationwide DVD release of the award winning documentary Flintown Kids, by director and fellow Howard University alum Omar McGee, is of great value to me. However it’s the other participants and the existing activities that have me cast out of this “club” society. (Yes I am beating around the bush a bit to avoid a negative tone. This is a gossip free zone!). Personal beliefs aside after a certain age the club just needs to be left to the age group who are trying to “find themselves”. Just to give you a taste the music playlist includes “Nuck if you Buck”. HA! I remember getting my groove on to this once, I’m not ashamed.

Flintown Kids Documentary
All of this got me thinking about societies and fitting in. So, I thought I’d do a quick update while in the midst of everyone shaking their derrieres in their House of Dereon. HA! Fish out of water, I digress. Enjoy. (for information regarding the release of Flintown Kids visit www.FlintownKids.com )

St. John Resort 2010 Collection

I recently attended LA Focus Newspaper’s 12th Annual First Ladies High Tea hosted by Wendy Raquel Robinson and publisher Alis Collins. The event was beautiful. This year’s tea participated in the month long celebration of breast cancer awareness. Honorees included first lady of California Maria Shriver, and Dr. Betty Price of Crenshaw Christian Center. As I was talking to the event coordinator Jasmine Simpkins she pointed out the fact that even after “we” book fabulous hotels, give eloquent performances and speeches, and put on fantastic well organized and orchestrated events the media placed us right back into South Central and down played the entire event as a visit from a Kennedy princess that was hosted by a Pastor’s wife. Gee thanks ABC 7, we see you.

On the best side of the event the International Ballroom at the Beverly Hills Hilton was delightfully set and filled with the “Sunday’s Best Hat Brigade”. I personally spotted a few hats that I would have loved to snag and add to my collection. Nonetheless the event was a success. This year’s fashion show was sponsored by St. John Knits, who previewed their 2010 resort collection. While most of the applause went to the two black girls that were strategically placed amongst the other pale beauties, the collection overall was very chic. The vibrant printed tweeds, pretty color-blocked dresses and even the boyfriend cardigan cut sweaters made me perk up on my chair a few times. If you have the opportunity to partake in next year’s event it’s more than worth the ticket.

Mr. Penn
The fashion industry and photographers around the world are sadly tipping their hats to legendary photographer Irving Penn. The captivating lensman, recently pasted away at the age of 92. His career, since taking off after World War II, has been closely documented and watched for inspiration and creative direction. His illusive style relied more on natural lighting, shadows and were vividly told in spaces that were almost empty, as oppposed to hot studio lamps and conventional story telling. The trick or the genius to his approach came from his imagination, the subject, and the photography as a medium itself. His work for Vogue, “created a marvelous world that could be experienced vicariously for the price of a magazine”, as Mary Panzer of the Wall Street Journal puts it. In fashions exclusive fantastical society, where women have silent children, never wrinkle, and wake-up with freshly made up faces Penn honed the idea, through his shots of keeping this fantasy alive. As he explained, “there is no room for less than perfection.” Penn was born in Plainfield, N.J., and grew up in Philadelphia. He studied graphic design at the Pennsylvania Museum School of Industrial Art. His work has been captured and studied all over the world. Photos of his work are now on display at the Getty Museum.

Until next time lovelies,

Totally Obsessed, xoxo Love

We Will Miss You, Michael

 

Nobody knew that when they woke up this morning one of the world’s greatest entertainers would be dead before the sunset. Farewell Michael Jackson, we will definitely miss you. He may have been unusual; he may have been the butt of many jokes; he may have even been inappropriate.  But there’s no argument that he was truly talented. Rest in Peace, Michael.
