summer selects.

i could spend hrs upon hrs flipping through fashion mags or surfing the neverending fashion blogs, yet there are a few staples that i believe are essential for the summer. sharing is caring :]

1. bangin bodysuit: reader beware. this is NOT for everyone. an interesting twist to the simple jeans and tank combo. not to be combined with anything overwhelming....keep it simple silly!























silence & noise ladderback bodysuit $38

2. bamboozled: designers are using more and more embellishments to set themselves apart from the rest: studs, jewels, and beads. these wedges have a special feature that not only makes them uber classy but naturally sassy.

Casadei Wedges $819

3. initial-ly smitten: who doesn't enjoy personalized jewelry? no, i'm not talking about the chica bonita nameplates we wore in 8th grade. im talkin grownup, classy initial necklaces a la Lauren Conrad...ADDED BONUS: me n kellee can always share....suckassssss.




















Jennifer Zeuner Large Swirly Personalized Necklace $250

4. Crop is like its hot: this season, crops are making a comeback. if yer midsection is not what it should be, try it tucked into a higher waisted skirt or something structured to offset their voluminous nature. [charlotte russe $22]















5. animal kingdom: we're used to certain animals making appearances in the fashion world on clothing, jewelry, and accessories. of these, the most popular are birds, reptiles, wild felines, and butterflies. this season try your hand at the overlooked of the animal kingdom...as close to eco-friendly as it gets for me.

















topshop extra large beetle tote bag $60

6. the grass is greener: i miss those days of playing outside [yes even divas touch dirt every now and then] ...running through the sprinklers, not a care in the world. but now, im 23 and its too damn hot to even get the mail...so ill live through my nail polish instead.
















pop beauty nail glam in grass $14

my hiatus has finally come to an end....partly because its spring break and partly because an issue has been perturbing me for a minute. i realized there is little to no representation for males in the fashion industry. sure, men have classic style icons like michael jackson [pre-preteen fiasco] and james dean....etc. but who is the 2009 man supposed to look to for fashion inspiration? women have soooooo many style icons, it's ridiculous from the olsen twins to B [sans tina]...from kate moss to vicky B.....so on and so forth. so, i decided to devote this post to the male style icon.....candidates, requirements, and visual stimulation.....enjoy!

current candidates for male style icons:

brandon flowers [the killers]


























andre three thousand
























mr. pharrell williams [n.e.r.d.]



























essentials of a current male style icon:

• know what garments give you power. whether it be a bowtie, a interesting suit jacket, or a casual flair to a formal outfit...men should realize that certain clothes give you a persona.....a certain je ne sais quoi. for example, a simple bowtie can add quirkiness and character to a simple plain suit. (dotted black pattern bowtie, today's gentleman $16.95)
• fit, fit, fit. the biggest hurdle that young men face when attempting to reach a certain level of fly.....is FIT. clothes come in different sizes for a reason: people are shaped and proportioned differently. this means...if you are 5'10 and a buck 35 PLEASE don't wear the same xxl shirt that your big cousin jayjay is wearing. on the flip side, my skinny jeans wearing males, PLEASE dont squeeze all you have in those miniscule jeans....there is something called SLIMFIT. google it. male style has a lot to do w/ tailoring clothes to fit your stature...and learning what clothes [ESPECIALLY DENIM] are made for your physique. a well-tailored suit takes the regular joe [non-plumber] to james [bond-esque]. know your measurements and follow them religiously. (richard chai, fall 09)
• don't limit yourself to the basics. i always hear guys complaining about how guys have no choices. newsflash: there can be more to a guys wardrobe than t-shirts, jeans, shoes, and a nice button-down shirt. designers are realizing different realms of fashion that can be explored in a man's wardrobe....from accessories [ex.a stand alone timepiece] to high-quality outerwear [understated yet dashing coats]. so stop whining about how you don't want to look like everyone else....and start letting your appearance reflect your individualistic attitude. (watch, aldo $35, leather jacket, william rast $765)

dear reader,
i am truly grateful that i get to start off a new year doing what i love most, writing and continuing this blog that i have grown to cherish so dearly. i get excited every time there's a new post. i look forward to hearing what you have to say about what we think. and most importantly, i hold on tightly to thekommonthread that bonds not only me and kells, but every person reading.

in a time when we as a society are learning to appreciate what we have, i suddenly feel like this is my time to shine. but there's just one problem.....i'm SCARED [out of my mind]. Take my poetry for example. I have been writing poetry since the tender age of.....well 7 to be exact. it has been my outlet of emotion and my method of self-exploration. but, i always hesitate to share it with other people. I've always wanted to go perform at an open mic night or even just let other people read my work, but for some reason....some selfish part of me refuses. i get nervous. maybe they won't like it. maybe ill forget the words. maybe no one relates. maybe i'll share with them the deepest part of me and they won't get it.

so my question to you is this: for those of you who can relate at all to what i'm going through...please share with me how to overcome this. God has blessed me with another year on this earth and i'd hate to waste any gift that He has given me.
