One of my favorite Nigerian group Bracket - Yori Yori

Haitian Art




While I was browsing on oversock.com for a new Iphone case I stumble into some amazing, and beautiful art work made in Haiti by Haitian Artists and I fell in love. I absolutely love that fact that they are hand made with the hands of talented and passionate artists. You can almost see the energy jumping out of the colors and the craftmanship. The fact that most of the pieces are made from recycled steels and drums shows that Haiti is an Island that is ready and will be leading again in the western
hemisphere

Stylish soft drink

Drinking soda have never made you look this good before until designer started making it haute.
love this coke ad with Marc Jacobs  too bad I don't really drink soda. Designers started collaborating with soft drink companies a while ago in Europe; the first one I've seen was Yve saint Laurent. I'm glad American designers are getting on the wagon.

Fab trend budget part 2

The second part of my journey to find affordable trendy pieces for the summer. There's nothing better than shoes ladies. I manage to dig deep into those clearance racks at DSW to find some top designer brands. Who can say no to the Michael Kors leopard beach sandals, and the Gucci pink ballet flats unbelievable deals. Badgley Mischka peep-toe pumps are perfect for a summer wedding.

pocket square

I got this from the GQ blog I thought I'd share it. I think everyone should know how to fold a pocket square not just men or the one that are into fashion.

A
Little history about pocket squares I picked up from pocket-squares.com



Pocket squares as a fashion accessory for formal attire have only been around since the beginning of the 20th century. Especially popular in the 1920s, men used to wear a pocket square in combination with a suit, a vest, and the era's typical fedora hat.

The origins of the pocket square:

Initially pocket squares came from the linen handkerchiefs used for personal hygiene. Handkerchiefs have been used for over 600 years. It is said that the handkerchief was invented by Richard II of England (1367-1400) "as a little piece of cloth for the lord king to wide and clean his nose". Initially only the upper class adopted the use of a linen hankerchief, but by the 17th century the handkerchief was as quite common among all classes throughout western Europe.

Pocket Squares as a fashion accessory:

Initially handkerchiefs were placed in the trousers' pockets since it was seen as un-clean to show a "used" handerchief in the visible breast pocket of a man's jacket. As 2 piece suits came into fashion in the 19th century, many men started to place their clean pocket square into the breast pocket of their jacket to protect it from dirt and other objects, such as coins, in their trousers' pockets. After use the pocket square would move from the breast pocket to the trousers' pockets.

The look of the pocket square in the breast pocket became more popular, especially after specific folding techinques came into use. By the 1920s the pocket square had become more of a fashion accessory than having any other purpose. Often times men had a poacket square in their breast pocket, and another handerchief in their trousers meant for wiping their hands or cleaning their nose.

Later on, during the 40s and 50s the linen handkerchiefs were viewed us unhygenic. The kleenex company, founded in 1924, was the first company to make disposable handkerchiefs. As a result, the linen handkershief was replaced, and only used as a fashion accessory in form of a pocket square. Pocket squares are still today a very fashionable piece of accessory for any formal or even business attire.
