All White Classy Style!

Tracy Reese has an all white lace and poly geometrical panel skirt with a leather jacket up top look from her F/W 2010 collection that is PERFECT for a mature summer event.

If you would like to funk this look out, remove the jacket, replace it with an all white jersey or silk and lace one shoulder or flirty top and have at it!

Shoe color? Well I think the goldish metallic pump is a great selection. Also try, coral, salmon, silver or bronze for a classic look!

View of Yogis at The Standard in Miami!!

This is a picture directly from the Standard Hotel in Miami, Florida!

Today the lawn is packed with 150 or more yogis, who are stretching, becoming more flexible and opening up their bodies for the sake of health.

The Standard is a chain of hotels that possess a modern contemporary style decor, rooftop pools that include bar areas, restaurants and great service.

I had the pleasure of staying at the Standard Hotel on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles and wouldn't mind visiting their other locations around the country. I love The Standard.

My Favorite Pre-Fall Herve Leger Dress!!

Herve Leger is kind of my guilty pleasure! I love the look and feel of a lot of the pieces from the body conscious label. And I absolutely admire the color combinations that are selected to accompany each style.

But to successfully wear a Herve Leger dress, your body has to be in tune with the garment, which is spun from spandex, nylon, rayon and imported textiles.

I am personally, working my way toward being "one" with a Herve Leger dress, lol. To date, I am still going for it, so for now, you and I will admire the blue night combo dress by Herve Leger produced by BCBGMAXAZRIA together on the blog.

Price - $1590

Drake Album Review!!

A Notable reader, Ronnie Price was selected as the feature on the blog, for Drake Album Review. Read his review below. Do you agree or disagree? Leave comments. Lets discuss this album!


After listening to Drakes Thank Me Later Debut, I realized what I had expected all along; Drake is a R & B singer who happens to rap. And happens to rap better then most. With that said, and with that understanding, his debut is a very strong collection of silky smooth ballads, perfectly delivered punchlines and a-list features. Now, if for some odd reason you expected to hear bass pounding gangtsa shit, or you absolutely despise Drake singing (a lot), well this album is not for you. Its a lot more "Successful" then it is "Forever". Drake is a bonafide pop star, and his versatility is on full display. Thank Me Later is not a great hiphop album, its a great album period.

In my Notable Opinion, Swizz Beats track woke me up while I was about to doze off listening to the album. I love what Drake's album does for music. I am, a little undecided on how I feel about his growth or in what direction his music will go next.

I think because Drake has had such huge success, that I expected him to wow me like The Dream or Jay-Z. But for a freshman album release I would HAVE to give him 4 of 5 stars and that is THE TRUTH!! His punchlines are some of the best and the way that Nicki Minaj rhymes like Kim on their collabo track, is a hit!!

Take the time to carve out your own image of yourself and how you would like to be perceived by the world.
