What I Wore: On Casual Friday

Jul 28th, 2008 | By Irie Diva | Category: What I Wore

Cutie pie Sheena upped the casual Friday jeans-and-button-up ante by donning this cute little dress she designed herself and had made. The white cardi makes it work appropriate (if you work in a more relaxed environment) and the black and white striped heels are very cute as well…matching her bug-eyed shades.
Sheena is a budding fashionista [...]

Jul 22nd, 2008 | By Irie Diva | Category: Fashionable Events

Actually…its really not a full post on who wore what…I really just wanted to ask Ms. Keyshia one question…what the hell is this???

These balls have been freaking me out for the longest while and everyone else who saw them.

La Pluma Negra: A Foundation Brand

Jul 22nd, 2008 | By Irie Diva | Category: Jamaican Designers

When it comes to t-shirt brands in Jamaica…they’re a dime a dozen. EVERY one has a t-shirt line.

The Red Wedding dress…do you dare?

Jul 14th, 2008 | By Irie Diva | Category: Irie Diva's Picks

I came across this blog featuring a red wedding dress and wondered how many of my readers would dare to try it out. I think we Caribbean people are a very traditional set of folk when it comes to these ceremonies…weddings, funerals, baby christenings and the like. I have to say that I absolutely love [...]

I done it again y’all! I told my friends that I LOVE these Tall Gladiator sandals I saw on Amazon.com

Bwoy Beatazz – A Concept, not a threat?

Bwoy Beatazz sounds either like wife beaters, or me actually beating down a boy…but the "bwoy" they’re referring to is actually that "bwoy…life hard eeh" sigh of misery we let out every now and then, as put by Leslie Hood, PRO for the brand:
