With Amy Winehouse’s big hit “Rehab” the radio stations have been giving us a blast from the past. It seems like everywhere I look there are influences from the 1950s.

An anthem for one of my favorite cosmetic products! Lil’ Mama’s song always inspires me to put on my favorite lip gloss. This year I can’t decide between Lacôme Juicy Tubes and MAC Tinted Lipglass.

They even have little sampler bottles on a key chain, so you don’t have to decide which ones to carry with you that day. Just take them[.....]

Saggy pants are a true fashion trend but some areas are banning the act of wearing your pants below your waist. This argument goes back years. In 2004 a Dallas school trustee tried to create a bill that would fine people for wearing saggy pants. As well, a Louisiana lawmaker recently proposed a $50 fine anyone wearing saggy pants. So where do you stand? I’m all about self expression and unique style and say if you want to wear them[.....]

Sometimes haters get mad because you got some Bathing Apes. It happens. Especially when you’ve got some nice kicks from this Japanese hip hop clothing line founded in 1993. These hot shoes resemble the Nike Air Force One’s. But with patent leather and a big selection of bold colors, these limited edition shoes are a must lust for sneaker freaks. I heard that less than 200 Bathing Apes shoes have been released in certain styles. Soulja Boy gave a shout[.....]
