rocking my knickers (amare and rachel roy)

thanks to my new best blogger friend made to travel (jamillah), i heard some interesting news.  it seems rachel roy and ny knick amare stoudemire are collaborating on a sporty line of clothing.  rachel says this line is for the girl/woman who attends sporting events and needs something appropriate to wear.  what giselle or kate moss might don to watch football or basketball... are rachel and amare both tired of seeing ladies in six inch heels and tight, uncomfortable clothing at the stadiums?  i am!  rachel has such a classy, sophisticated style that can only enhance amare's quirky but magnetic signature look.  i'm eager to see what the duo comes up with...go ny, go ny, go ny, go!!!!!

how to pull off simple chic

courtesy of blackfashion.tumblr.com (check them out)

this here is the epitome of simple chic.  the trick to looking this cool is not trying to hard.  keep it simple, stupid!  a simple tee or tank, cute shorts or jeans and no fuss make up and hair ensure a relaxed but ravishing visage.  and think of all the time you'll be saving.  below are a few ideas of how to pull this off.

supra

i just showed you vashtie's air jordans but i honestly feel these supras are more my taste (if i'm going to wear a sneaker).  in fact, i love almost all the kicks supra puts out for the fellas and the ladies.  what i'm not crazy about is the price.  something tells me that jordans are just as expensive, if not moreso.

queen of minimalism

filmaker sofia copola has great taste and a great eye. i love that she keeps her style basic and chic but can totally dial up the frou frou for her films like marie antionette. the images she creates in her movies are beautiful and memorable. one of my favorites from her is "the virgin suicides." and she seems to be a fan of kirsten dunst, just like me. so, cheers to the queen of mimimalism...

nick at nite

i think that nicki minaj cleaned up quite well in her actual outfit (versus the performance costume) for the vmas. her body type looks fantastic in a monochromatic pant onesie. even the pink wig is an asset in a simple sharp bob. and without the crazy mugs, her natural beauty somehow shines through. good look, nicki!

janet

ms. jackson, if you're nasty, looks breathtaking in her toned down look. i absolutely LOVE it. isn't she pretty? another edition of taking it down...

Barbie's World

unless you've been under a rock, you know nicki minaj. ok, that's not necessarily true. but, the girl is everywhere. she is the new go-to hot female emcee, if not the only go-to emcee these days. usually, ms. thing is completely done up in caked on make-up, crazysexysometimescool clothes and more wigs than wendy williams. for awhile, the jury was out on her lyrical, musical talent. but, i've decided that i like her. more importantly, i like her on my iPod. hence, she gets a spot on the block here at passionista place. i chose this pic since it was one of the most natural ones i could find. not bad at all, nicki...

top o' the mornin' to ya-st. paddy's day

i gotta feeling...that todays gonna be a good good day! its suppose to be freakin' 66 degrees!!! that may not seem so earth shattering to you. but, when you've been dealing with constant snowstorms, cold, and monsoons, a sunny spring day seems like winning the lottery. above is rihanna (obvs.), my style inspiration for today. at first, i was wracking my pretty brain trying to figure out the perfect outfit but settled on kiss (keepin it simple, stupid). instead of the LV scarf she chose, i'll opt for a cute kelly green scarf for st. patrick's day. not sure about the footwear yet since i plan to walk my butt off in the city today. yep, its gonna be a good day...hope you have one too......

bey and jay...taking it down a notch

awwww!!! look at the happy couple...as you can see, this is a pic of bey and jay walking hand in hand. don't know why this pic makes me happy. perhaps, its because you rarely see this side of the couple. also, i think we both got hitched around the same time. anyhoo, enjoy the pic of these two taking it down a notch and enjoying each other's company.

Taking It Down a Notch...To Brunch

surprisingly, russell brand is sexy to me for so many odd and interesting reasons. unfortunately, i don't have time to expand on that here. it seems katy perry knows what i'm talking about. here they are above, canoodling, on their way to a very sexy breakfast after a VERY sexy night. i'm speculating, of course. the rock n roll couple is dressed down but still they manage to look fierce (check out the great accessories on both). no visible hangovers here! good job, katy and russell. i applaud you...

ms. ross, the boss- taking it down a notch

winter wear

feeling warm and looking good are not usually synonomous. however, this girl somehow manages to beat the odds. while i am not usually a fan of the jean short in the winter, this outfit seems to work. i especially love the top knot, huge scarf and aviators. the only thing i might add to make the look complete...a cute winter coat.
