You Don't Have To Be a Hell's Angel For This One...

So when you're shopping for jackets and coats in the fall, remember that you don't want to keep buying the same old jacket that you might of have the year before...Trends DO change for these items too! So the NEWEST excitement in trends is.......BIKER!! Its not a huge change to your normal gear either. Look for jackets, coats, shoes, etc. that have lots of seaming detail and zippers....EXTRA zippers. The more, the merrier! Hardware can be gold, silver, pewter, whatever. A cropped length is also great for jackets. Lets us know if you're into this trend!

to cut or not to cut? that IS the Question...

I'm sure many of you have noticed that shorter do's are doing it up lately. We must give credit to Rihanna, Katie Holmes, Victoria Beckham and others for proving that longer locks do not make us more beautiful. Rather, shorter do's seem to have made these trend-setters seem even more striking. Now here's the hard part...Can you pull if off? Can you actually cut off years of carefully coiffed, perfectly conditioned and mantained hair?! Your pride and joy...

I'm here to tell you, YES YOU CAN!!! lol

As a woman who cried over a minor trim, please believe me when I say that I never thought that I would have the balls to go for it. But here I am, one month later and I'm a total convert. I honesty feel more sophisticated and sexy with my shorter cut (courtesy of Liz @ John Master's Salon, 212.343.9590). Not to mention that more men are taking notice. I'm not sure if my swagga changed or what, but I'm more confident too! So if you've been wanting that new look let this be the extra encouragement you need.

I've posted the before and afters and you be the judge. - Chantel Rae

Fantastic Accessories for that A**!

So we both just copped a pair of these trendy new gunmetal bracelets! Let me tell you what! These are so funky and cute and they go with everything. They work for men and women too. PLEASE tell me we're over matching metals too, like only wearing gold with gold, etc, etc... Put this baby on your wrist and/or ankle and wear your normal golds or silvers!! Research or google bicycle chain jewelry. They make earrings too....AAOOOWWW!

Drake Rogers...Hip Hop's crown prince!

If you haven't heard by now, Drizzy Drake IS the next big thing in hip hop. Not only is he a lyrical mastermind, he is PHINE as all hell! Not in a long time has a rapper been as honest and unique as he. Many of you might recognize him from his role on Degrassi High but don't let the baby face fool you. Drake Rogers' lyrics are raw. Just take a listen.

They are metallic, and super sexy!! (Beyonce had them done). They won't chip, because they're made of film, which is pressed onto your nail bed. Thats that new ish!!
