MadeMe & Yours Truly Spring '09 lines

MadeMe


Yours Truly


Yay! My favorite new lines have dropped their spring '09 line for this year!!!

MadeMe

Erin Magee, owner and designer of the MadeMe brand has arrived with several necessities for your springtime closets. Whether it's the "Do The Right Thing-esque" biker's hat, or the every day essential plaid button up (throw it over anything during the cool summer nights and I guarantee you'll have a full proof outfit in minutes) or the mesh tank covering just enough to keep you "looking hot" but "very cool" LOL, anyway you do it you'll be GOOD walking out into the coming sweltering heat this summer :)

Here are some of my favorites from the Lookbook! Let me know what yours are!






This plaid button up also comes in black and can be seen worn on Nicole one part from the duo NI** Sky in their first video from their second album, "The Musical". I was at the shoot for the track "On Some Bullsh**" where the girls were styled by good friend Ms.Rose Garcia along with MadeMe's woman in charge, Erin Magee. Can't wait to see the final product! Also check the new layout for the MadeMe website along with the MadeMe x Ni** Sky mixtape "Strike A Pose II". Download it here. I'm loving it! Complete old and new school Madge ;)

Yours Truly

My girl Jenny has offered up a tiny peek into what Yours Truly has in store for spring ladies. Above The Clouds, Spring '09 preview features 4 different cuts, 2 new Spring Logo designs and that's not even the half of it. Again, you don't want to sleep on this. Rep your coast with the East Coast vs. West Coast tee.. um Jenny no love for the middle? For real we're from Chicago, what's up with that?? JK! Also check out the new long sleeve off the shoulder tops, great for cool nights when you just need to throw something on over your tank, or bra top, with legging or cut off shorts! We'll have to wait to see the full line, but until then here's a bit from her blog.


Going to Magic this year? Meet the lady behind the line Jenny Truly, have a drink in her suite at The Hotel at the Mandalay Bay, (Jenny's does it big yall) and check out the full Spring and Summer collections :)

lady gaga's "just dance"

Here's lady gaga's new video directed by melina. You know some of her work, Beyonce's "Kitty Kat", "Upgrage You" Neyo's "Do You" and Eve's "Tambourine" and your favorite Snoop's "Sensual Seduction" (that is just a very few)

But this video caught my eye while checking some of my favorite video blogs!! It is something that we have seen before, at least the look and feel is becoming sort of the norm as the music industry turns towards dance music for the next big hit. But I do enjoy the art direction and styling on this one. Can't get away from the ray bans and american apparel shiny leggings, not for a minute.... and i ain't mad lol...have a look :)

mama spring release...

i know, fashionation is a bit late on this (sorry ladies, life happens)... but definitely check out the new mama gear for the spring. as always, the mama team never disappoints!


for those of you in the windy (still) city, you can pick these looks up at our fav store, solemates...chicago.
