WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN?: style

I’m just going to knock all these backed-up Style Diaries out on this nice Saturday!

The last full week of October was a pretty good but a busy week. On Tuesday I got a chance to see my artist and homie, DJ Dummy, kill it at Best Buy theater along side the amazing J.Cole, here in NYC. On Thursday I went downtown to shoot the beautiful and quirky Amel Larrieux perform at City Winery; great show! Other than that it was midterms week, and I was working like a maniac, so I kind of forgot to shoot a few outfits. But hey, Tuesday‘s (this week’s fav outfit) blouse from my favorite vintage store Loveday 31, in Astoria,makes up for that.

Wearing such an adorned top, which i might add is so loose and comfortable, can dress anything up with very little effort.

Also the key for me this week, and most weeks, is wear a good lipstick color, when you’re half dead like I was Wednesday and Thursday, (i was actually dead on Friday) a little color goes a long away, it makes you appear more awake and put together than you actually are.

Happy Dressing!

Yesterday I posted my chat with Honor designer, Giovanna Randall. Today I’m revisiting New York Fashion Week, with my chat with Perry Ellis designer and creative director, John Crocco. He was really nice, chill, and I totally understood his vision for the collection, I think he had 36 looks or something crazy-high for a runway show.

The best part of the show was the beautiful models, and more importantly they took their shirts off for the finale; umm…yes please! =)

If you missed my pictures from the Perry Ellis show, you can check them out here.

During Spring/Summer 2012 Mercedes-Benz Fashion week, I went to many shows, one of my favorite was Honor; remember some of my pictures I posted (click here)?

In addition to going to the show, I also got a chance to speak to Honor designer, Giovanna Randall as well as actress Tracee Ellis-Ross. Take a peek at some of my conversation, as well as the collection in motion!

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN?: fashion

13 Sep

I had the pleasure of attending the Fall 2011 Honor show last season, so I was happy to get the chance to check out the Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Although there were some suits that I would never wear, there was an overall beauty to the collection. The detailing was what stood out to me, as well as what designer, Giovanna Randall, was able to do with lace. The garments were so feminine, yet quite sexy. And the back of the garments were to die for, particularly on her ultra feminine dresses.

GIovanna Randall also presented the collection in a fresh way, when the girls came out, there was a blower to make the outfits move, and reveal little lace undies. This is Honor’s 3rd show, and 1st show under the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week tents. I look forward to more, or I can always stop by the new store in the meat packing district.

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN?: fashion

11 Sep

Fashion week started this past Thursday with a bang! Although I only got to stop by a few places for Fashion’s Night Out, Bergdorf’s, Henri Bendel, and few spots in Soho, I did get to take in a show. My 1st show, on the 1st day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, was menswear designer Francis Hendy. Right out side of Lincoln Center, at Time Center Plaza, inside Samsung, Francis Hendy held his show. Although not at the tent, the environment was fun and the music was pumping.

As far as the clothes, I’d say that the suits were far more superior than the casual wear. If any man I dated wore that casual wear…well, I wouldn’t date anyone that would wear all those colors and patterns. Maybe the styling was off, I don’t know. What I do know though, is that the suits were sharp, and tailored wonderfully!

Overall the show was good, and I loved the diversity of the models!

which way do i go? which way do i go?

Picture By: Jay Nima

I’m at a crossroads in my life, where every decision has an impact on the next. Tomorrow doesn’t feel like forever anymore, and reflecting on yesterday serves no purpose…I don’t really know what all that meant, but it was the first thing that came to my mind. =)

I’ve said that I’ve wanted to write a blog for over a year, starting the setup of a few, but never allowing it to come into fruition. I had all these ideas for an entertainment blog, and i essentially procrastinated until i’ve been consumed by other things, and have forgotten most of them. I will go back to that blog, but for now I need to sift through my thoughts, straighten out the lines, and figure out a route in the maze i’m in. Along the way, it will be the art of sound, frozen moments, and my love of style that will keep me sane and my love of culture and life that will keep me grounded. I’ll share the photographs i’ve taken, the music that’s touching me, the inspirations that move me, and things that are effecting me; i’d love to hear your comments in return.

Stay for the ride and enjoy things according to me, Jay Nima.

RT: @daoudabeid If you think great, you will be great, prepare, focus & do the work & there will be no reason for anything otherwise.

Yelawolf I’ve decided to add a new category to What Gets You Movin, and that would be ‘Hotness’! Since I was about 14, I’ve had these mini crushes on people, a new person almost every other week. Nothing serious, just someone or sometimes a subject/entity that heightens my radar for the moment. I’m always sharing […]
