The Introduction-Fashion

This blog is intended to be my creative space. In it I will discuss all things fierce be in fashion and music and some of the day-to-day Brown musings that keep me going. I thought that the first step should be to give you all a look into who I am and what I like and don't like, for the first entry I focused on fashion.

Fashion Faves
1. I love the 80's. Retro is back and I am ready and willing to fall in line. I love the bright sneaks, bright jeans, brights jackets and the animal print (zebra and leopard). For this look, I'm all about isolated high-impact areas, if your crushing it on the top maybe tone it down with a black jean and pumps. If you got on the acid toned sneaks maybe pair that with a simply flowy top and demin. Its all about the colors. Classic Reeboks, Colored skinnies and American Apparel anything have been doing it for me lately.
(Check out the jeans at Forever 21) seriously they're $13.50.













2. She Bangs - The Straight Across Bang is in full effect and everyone whose rocking it is effortlessly fierce, fashion forward and did I mention adorable? It wasn't until my girl Tati got the straight across bang that realized it was a force to be reckoned with and it was a style that worked for the day-to-day. Wispy bangs just aren't cutting it anymore (get it? i'm here all night). The sleek look can be even better with a sleek color choice, Jet Black goes. Get your Gaga on ladies!












3. BoHo - Yes I'm still on it, primarily because I'm a hippy at heart, but there's just something about throwing on some cutoffs, moccasins and a nice little tunic that really gets me going. Whether it be the maxi dresses, the flowy skirts or the flowers in your hair, it's all about comfort, wearablity and happiness, what's not to love? (Perfect Boho Style-Kate Hudson)

LEAST favorite
1. The Cosby sweater- I don't know if there was some kind of "I'm rich but I don't care" convention where all the trust fund babies of America decided that the Cosby sweater was going to be a new way to express their angst and "rebel" (in a knit sweater, really?) but I'm sick of 'em. 1. If you all only own one but feel as though wearing it tomorrow will be as poignant a fashion statement as it was all of last week when you wore that junk everyday, you're wrong. 2. Even though you think saying you bought it at the Salvation Army makes me think you're cool, it doesn't. Let's move on people, the time is now. (See how far we've fallen)













2. New Balance Sneakers - I know, I know they're so comfortable. That doesn't make them any less ugly. Furthermore, if your one defense for wearing them is that they're comfortable maybe throwing on a button up, some jeans and your washed up New Balances should not be your Plan A on Friday night. 1. In the History of New Balance Sneakers I have never seen a person rock a "crisp pair." 2. You can buy some bad ass sneakers for the same price. Don't play yourself.
