Hey Dolls (& Gents!)

Soooo I must admit; I felt rather bashful about doing this post but it's special to me so I resolved that the world should know. Today marks 3 years of the most BLISSFUL journey of my life. No, this isnt my engagement photos LOL, its a shoot my bf Gavin and I did on our first anniversary of dating. I thought I would do a throw back post and share this memory with you all (: ....

Hey Dolls (and Gents)!
This week I am throwing it back to an outfit I wore last November that I didnt get a chance to share. I had attended a fashion show and decided on making my cape blazer the statement piece since at the time it was a "must-have" /trending garment.

Happy Valentine's Day Loves!

This is officially the second time I've ever worn a dress on this blog; I'm really not a dress person and never been. Infact, I dont believe I owned a skirt until I was in the 8th grade :|. Give me a tailored pants, skinny jeans or shorts and I will feel right at home.[tomboy in recovery lol] Valentine's Day aka break out that grown and sexy dress day however calls for a CHANGE!

Today marks, what would have been, the 70th birthday of the King of Reggae, BOB MARLEY! Like December 25th is to Christians, so is February 6th to the Jamaican music industry and many persons across the world, a day to celebrate the life and legacy of a GREAT emissary who, in some way or another, impacted every life that came across his message.

As we reflect on the musical icon's wisdom and talent on this day, I would like to invite you to also take a minute to appreciate the Rastaman's equally iconic and (equally ironic) fashionable moments.

This very well could have been his Vogue or GQ debut. Am I wrong?

Hey Loves! I want to start by wishing you all a great week (: Hope you've managed to kick the Monday blues and are motivated to kick ass once more.

I recall someone asking the question "What do you consider your personal style" and it was probably the easiest question I've ever had to answer.

This week an old schoolmate and fellow blogger Chaz of The Chaz Dean Blog and I shared our views on the London and Milan fashion week collections that have been presented so far for the Autum/Winter 2015 season. Here are some of our thoughts:

London Fashion Week|London Collections Men

Chaz Deans: Tanaka, it's that time of year again where the major fashion cities are showcasing their upcoming season collections and first up on the chopping block is, London. I will admit I always get excited for Fashion Week (month) but I feel a little let down by London. The highlight for me was Burberry Prorsum, and Alexander McQueen. Mostly because they appealed to my personal aesthetic and not in the ‘usual’ London way of an obsessive repetitive presentation of outerwear and suiting options, though still very present. Which in essence is what London Fashion is… Though I’ll say this, individual Moschino pieces added to any of the more tailored presentations would call for a major style moment. Moschino styling was difficult to digest, but the merit in each individual piece was evident. All in all, LFW and LC:M wasn’t much to talk about, in my estimation. Side note: street style during this time was more attention-grabbing than the actual collections.
