•      Rag and Bone [ wear a pair of sheer thigh highs under some shorts or skirt for a sexy 80’s effect]

•       Add a pop of color [ Rag and bone, David Hart ( for the Beaux use a pocket square for a pop of color) , Pre fall Dior –Raf simmons] You can choose to do this trick with just anything, a bag, shoes, hat or jacket.

Too Cool To Function - Street styles off the Runway

This is way over due but here are the jaw dropping, heart racing, mind boggling, just down right out of this world street styles outside of the shows. I always love what I like to call " the shows that goes on outside of the shows" genius right!..  I know.  Even with the unfortunate appearance of Nemo; the storm, Fashionistas did not fall short of amazement. ( By the way, c/o of LiveRunway I was fortunate to attend numerous shows all week long.... from the comfort of my couch!. So you can imagine that my eyes never left the screen ,which did not allow me to do any school work, so I am wicked behind on my readings.So I have a few late posts coming up, but please visit Live Runway for more shows from London this week. They will not let you miss a thing.

Afro Punk Fever

For those of you who knows this community very well this might come as a shock that today was the first ever time I took the liberty of exploring Afro Punk, and to those less fortunate like my former self (12 hours ago) Afro Punk is an amazing online community that is designed to give" a voice to thousands of multi cultural kids fiercely identifying with a lifestyle path-less-traveled"."Afro-punk is a platform for the other Black experience, the one we don't see in our media".I I spent the afternoon today learning about their work and exploring the community. I gain lots and lots of ideas and quite amazing inspirations. Check out Afro punk I am sure you will not be disappointed. I think its a great place to get culturally inspired , stay informed about the punk/rock/indie subculture and also to get street style inspirations and hair trends from some very cool and creative individuals. ( this includes also a collection of tumblr and Pinterest photographs depicting the meaning of Afro punk and its many looks within the community).
