Costume Drama: A Break From All Things Outfit
Edited by: Holier than NowIt’s the Halloween season, when some of us choose to experience the thrill (or horror) of looking nothing like ourselves for a night. For those of you who blog or socially post your outfits, perhaps it’s a chance to take a break from the judgmental eye of the spotlight (consider Love Brown Sugar and One More‘s pieces on the subject) – one night where you turn in “looking good” for looking scary, time period-accurate, or just … a little sexier than usual. Inspired? Find last minute costume inspiration from Tickle Me Chic and more.
And for those of us who don’t celebrate the witching hour, there’s still a chance to step away from the closet and remind ourselves that great lingerie, shoes, bags, and jewels can make even a white tee and jeans look scary good.

Hot Tracks...Make Her Say
i mentioned last week that i would be incorporating a new feature where we celebrate videos that are aesthetically and musically beautiful. so, here we are again. this time, the new selection is kid cudi's "make her say" video featuring kanye west and common. the video for this song is all kinds of visually stimulating. here are just a few reasons it was chosen for this honor this week.
- the gorgeous pastel color scheme
- the dual screen style the video was filmed in
- the various men's fashion styles cudi's laidback casual-kanye's casual cool-common's sexy cool
- good music, great lyrics
- pretty ladies in many hues
- the phenomenal nikia phoenix (more about her in an upcoming post)
- kanye's continued college theme running through
- all that handsome, talented man swagger
- kanye
- man i'm in the mood for, common
down with the kings of queens-run dmc
run dmc, the godfathers of rap. it goes without saying we owe these pioneers so much for helping to bring hip hop music/culture into the mainstream. they are also credited with showing that rap could be infused with any genre successfully(specifically rock). i know you remember their hit with aerosmith, "walk this way." for me and many others, run dmc are considered fashion icons. all black everything (usually in leather), adidas with huge laces, gigantic gazelle glasses, heavy rope gold chains, bucket kangols and loads of badass attitude...what more could an impressionable lil' hip-hop loving girl in the 80s ask for? unfortunately, during the earlier part of the decade, we lost the legendary dj, jam master jay. despite that, these rap rebels remain tough as leather and in our nostalgic hearts forever. here are some essentials you'll need in your wardrobe in order to be down with the kings of queens. keep an eye out for great accessories and clothing that meets the kings' criteria at http://theposhbrownboutique.bigcartel.com/

Michael Jackson, Keep It In The Closet...video voyeur
i came across a post about the top top 15 stylish music videos on coco and creme. and in true carrie bradshaw style, it got me to thinking...what beautiful music videos took my breath away over the years? so, i've decided to share some selections i found visually stimulating once a week. at the beginning of my blog, i shared with you 16 reasons why i love cool by gwen stefani. this time, i chose one of my favorite michael jackson songs/videos "keep it in the closet" starring the one and only stunner, naomi campbell. michael beefed up for this one, showing off his muscular tone in that wifebeater and black jeans. he pulled back his signature curls into a ponytail and proceeded to give us sexy mike. the sepia coloring give both them and the scenery a sensual aura. there is really nothing to dislike about this art, as far as i'm concerned. as usual, these talents do a superb job.

home shopping networks
lately, i've been completely addicted to shopping networks. my mom is a dedicated fan, always flipping to her favorite stations to see whats being featured. finally, i started clicking over myself and found myself headed over to the websites to order my great finds immediately before they sold out. i think you'll be surprised at what kind of stylish, trendy pieces these channels offer. as a matter of fact, many of your favorite celebrities and celebrity stylist have lines with qvc or hsn. mary j. blige, joan rivers, jessica simpson, kardashians, twiggy, serena williams and susan lucci are just a few who choose to peddle their wares on these home shopping channels. some of the frumpier looking choices may actually be some of your favorite pieces once you get them home and style them to your liking. above you will see a cable knit sweater vest with faux fur collar. it may not look like much there but by the time i cinch in that waist or add some great accessories, it will be gold. plus, you can't beat shopping that presents itself at your door in a matter of a few short days. and anything that doesn't fit or isn't to your liking, you can send back hasslefree. below are a few qvc products that are on my wishlist. many of them are from rachel zoe's fab line. B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
