Check it out (no doubt) … I need your opinion

May 30th, 2009 | By Willard Alexander | Category: Male Style - Willard A

This article came to me like a song I wrote (“tell the trick get the scarf, pillow case and rope” – Notorious B.I.G, “Story to tell”) … anyway, so this is a new spin on things. I am going to ask your opinion on my outfit [...]

I gotta tell you I work on the sidelines of a runway, I know I do. These girls throw down! Here is Kristy at work on a Tuesday morning looking her Tuesday best, Beyonce would be so proud of those heels…



Back to Basics

May 25th, 2009 | By Willard Alexander | Category: Male Style - Willard A

Okay, as we proceed with style and things related to clothes, I must state that readers have been clamouring for me to speak for me about casual clothing and trends in one of my articles and being a man of the people, I had to comply. I’ll just speak to the trends/styles that [...]



The Great Fashion Debate: Would you knowingly buy a knock-off?

May 20th, 2009 | By Irie Diva | Category: Style Talk

But is it worth it? So I’m on twitter (why aren’t you yet?) and Louis Vuitton updates :
We are pre-launching the new Totally Monogram online. The tote is uber-chic and fits a working girl’s essentials. http://bit.ly/kjj4d
Hey, I’m a working girl! So of course I click the link… the bag of [...]



Boutiques

May 18th, 2009 | By Willard Alexander | Category: Male Style - Willard A

I have been blessed enough to have lived in one of the world’s fashion capitals (London) for 3 years. Great place, very stylish and your game has to be on point. Truth is, mine wasn’t. The middle world (between eastern and western worlds) style didn’t really tickle my fancy much so I preferred to [...]



The Teenage Observer’s Fashion Fireflys

May 15th, 2009 | By Irie Diva | Category: Jamaican Celebrities, Street Style

Teenage, the Tuesday magazine of the Jamaica Observer for young readers, recently did a photoshoot with some of our new Jamaican dancehall/reggae divas at Jordu…the new "name brand" fashion store in Seventh Avenue Plaza. I find it quite amusing that the writer wants us to believe that this is what the ladies wear on [...]

Gorgeous dress isn’t it? Camesha Powell, Jamaican fashion designer of the line "Poshe " was spotted out at Island Couture last April wearing this vibrant yellow number with red and green designs covering it. She was also spotted at Caymanas Park in this dress, maybe its a promo dress? Is this a preview [...]



Inspiration

Recently I have been seeking numerous ways of stepping my game up. Yeah yeah, I have shirts with monograms, but they are ageing and will have to be replaced. Yeah yeah, I have fly white trainers but I haven’t seen a pair that I like in ages and probably won’t for a while to come [...]

Earl ‘Biggy’ Turner turns the place out!

May 7th, 2009 | By Irie Diva | Category: Jamaican Designers

So Island Couture had a huge turn out last month and I’m quite sure that the Biggy showing had alot to do with it. Biggy is known for his dancehall pieces and even if you wouldn’t wear it, you just want to see what he’s come up with next.
If you’re not familiar with his work [...]
