    I know you remember back in the day the fellas use to rock the hell out of their authentic basketball jerseys! Lol. And as soon as it "wasn't cool" anymore they put them away. What did they do with all those damn jerseys!?! I mean every dude had at least 3 or more! Lol. With the matching sneakers and all. Don't worry...they aren't back in style yet. But I have spotted a few fashionistas rocking football jersey dresses...and look fab too! I personally love the trend...not sure how much it will catch on...but whatever. We do what we want when it comes to style, right!?! I didn't style any basketball jerseys but these are more of a football jersey style. I think this trend is so much fun because you can be sporty and chic! Its the perfect combination that will make your outfit go from ordinary to BAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM! LOL. I've style a few looks for you below to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
    Now tell us...would you rock a jersey like this?

    If you look through the history of the PMK custom brand you will see that time and time again they have surprised the fashion audience with hybrid ideas and meticulously detailed re-creations of the worlds favorite designer footwear brands.
    Continuing this custom in 2013, PMK starts the year off with another worlds first, taking the Isabel Marant sneaker wedge to the cobbling block to create a one-of-a-kind design for R&B Royalty and Pop sensation Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. Summoned by King Bee and given the task to create a custom design worthy of her approval, PMK takes the Isabel Marant sneaker wedge back to the beginning of time and gives it what they call the Eden treatment. A hybrid of land and sea skins are used to create this handcrafted creation. Stingray, Ostrich, calfs fur, Crocodile, and Anaconda give the already impeccable design atitude and the tones of white mixed with gold stitched details produces a feeling of elegance, mimicking the southern belle’s sweet and fierce persona. Perfectly made describes this design best. Check out more pictures of the kick below. What do you think?

STYLE MOTIVATION: How To Rock Leather Shorts

STYLE MOTIVATION: How To Rock Leather Shorts

    I mean really...they are leather. What other perfect time of the year can you rock leather shorts other than fall and winter? If I see any of you wearing leather shorts in the summer I will walk right up to you and smack ya! Lol. Just kidding. But for real, leather shorts are perfect for the season. It's all in how you style them. And because fall is sorta warmer in the day time and cooler at night you can take advantage of layering to transition from day to night. For an example, during the day you can rock a blouse, leather shorts, pumps, and a clutch. To transition for a cooler night you can add heavier pieces such as a blazer, tights, knee high boots, and maybe a scarf. Again, that's what I love about the fall season- you have so many options. To give you some ideas of how to style leather shorts we've outlined several options to choose from. We hope you'll be motivated to give this look a try this winter!!
    Add a blouse to dress your leather shorts up!!

    Who said spikes and studs aren't feminine? This season is all about the dangerously stylish little pieces. Studs are absolutely dope on various pieces such as earrings, bracelets, bags, shoes, denim shorts, jackets, blazers, belts & more! And don't get it twisted the trend is far from gothic. This season studs and spikes have a more feminine and chic twist. And I guess we can thank celebs like Rihanna, Solange, Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj for this trend. I've picked some of my favorite pieces for you to browse. And all items above are less than $50! Be sure to roll your cursor over the stylish items to get the deets on where to buy! Every fly girl loves a bargain- Enjoy! ;)

    Nothing really to report here- looks boring, huh!?! Well you already know I'm not too concerned with celebrity drama- just fashion. Rihanna was spotted outside her apartment just chilling! She rocked a simple outfit- a stripped maxi dress paired with a black tote bag and Converse sneakers. Simple as that! But this is a perfect day outfit. Although the season is changing this look can transition for Fall as well. Just add a denim jacket to the mix and you're set. I've recreated RiRi's look for less below. Check it out and let us know what you think of Rihanna's new short 'do. She is definitely working it!

Mixing Prints: Starring Solange Knowles

Mixing Prints: Starring Solange Knowles

    Has anyone mastered the mixed prints trend this season? Whether you have or not, love it or hate...its an extremely hard trend to get right. If you need help definitely check out my article THE ART OF MIXING PRINTS on www.etcblogmag.com! But for a mini lesson let's check out Solange who is the Queen of Mixing Prints! She recently was spotted in NYC at the Alexander Wang after party rocking this look- embellished palazzo pants, a printed top, denim jacket, a bright messenger bag, and a Babatunde hat. The hat is from an African designer...Solange recently shot a video there and must have come across the designer.
    I haven't found their official website but here's their facebook in case you're interested in their hats. When looking at Solange's outfit there is really no method to her madness...and that's what I love about her. But to master this trend keep this in mind...for the look for less I first started with this navy printed palazzo pants, added a stripped shirt that has both navy and white which I pulled from the pants. That is the key to mixing prints...you can mix any print you want but make sure the colors are similar. I then pulled the pink print from the pants to find this amazing bright messenger bag. Finally, I added a brown hat, brown & navy wedges, and simple jewelry. So we are definitely mixing prints but for some reason it just flows. What do you think of mixing prints? Did we nail it?

Get Her Look For Less: Angela Simmons' Sweatshirt Dress

Get Her Look For Less: Angela Simmons’ Sweatshirt Dress

    Angela Simmons usually doesn't do much when it comes to my style senses, lol...but she has been "doin' it" during fashion week. I'm officially a style fan! She has shown so much originality and versatility in NYC. And speaking of being original...Angela rocked this sweatshirt dress with printed detailed sleeves at the Cynthia Rowley Spring 2013 Show (Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week). She pulled colors from the sleeves to finish up her look by adding the blue messenger bag, yellow pumps, a multi-color bracelet, a red ring, red lips, and red nails. That is a style tip that everyone should take notes on. When you wear a printed item you can easily take colors from the print and spread it throughout your outfit to make it look fresh and not too "matchy matchy". So...I've also styled a look for less inspired by Angela Simmons below. I found a simple gray sweater dress and if you wanted to get Angela's sleeves you could replace them by making this a DIY project. This may be a good DIY post we will put up in the near future. If you try this look please email us your pictures. And please, leave a comment...what do you think of Angela's look? Do you think her style has evolved!?!

    Rihanna loves Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica...she has been spotted here on several occassions with a few days ago being her last sighting. And more importantly she is rocking her new short 'do. I love it. This is the edgy and fashionable Rihanna that I've missed so much. The outfit of choice was a graphic/printed sweater, black denim cutoffs, ankle booties, a leather tote bag, purple lips instead of red, and some edgy accessories. She looks really laid back and I really like the overall look. I've recreated a look for less inspired by RiRi below. What do you think about the new fall trend- graphic sweaters? Will you start rocking them?

    Dang, you can catch all the latest trends by hanging out at the airport knowadays. Reality TV personality and Kanye's girl, Kim Kardashian was seen at LAX recently looking stylish, as usual. Although lately her style has changed so much. Her stylist was Monica Rose but from the looks of it I don't think she is styling her anymore. Don't quote us on this because I'm not really sure...its just an observation. Kim rocked a wool contrast dress, black leather boots, a leather tote, and sunglasses (at night LOL). Nah, but for real celebs probably need sunglasses at all times because of all the flash from paparrazzi cameras. Overall, I really like the concept behind this look and it was pretty simple to recreate. Below is a look for less which I styled for you. I added a pop of color with red lipstick as an added bonus! And please, leave us a comment to let us know what you think of Kim's style. Has it changed? Do you love it or hate?

    Jennifer Lopez was recently spotted in her fav place- NYC! She was snapped by the paparrazzi leaving her hotel rocking this a-mazing cream color jumpsuit. It's so flattering on her figure and she is styled to perfection. At first glance one may think that the the color is used too much in one outfit but I think because of the fit that there is no need for a pop of color. The entire look is cream and it works. When you do wear a simple color like this you should definitely rock accessories like J-Lo! She is rocking her signature aviators, studs, an over sized bracelet and/or watch, platform pumps, and nude make-up. This look is very inspiring and I've created a look for less which is pictured above. All the items illustrated are less than $100 each and they are so dope. To put this look together simply click the thumbnails below the picture and you will be directed to the site. This look is a perfect day outfit! And even more perfect because it won't put a hole in your wallet.
