Why Did You Wear That: Hip (Hop) to the Game

By Kirsten|November 21st, 2013|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

I’ve always felt a connection to street style, but I’ve certainly come a long way from khaki pants and Tommy Hilfiger polo shirts. Though the style of 90’s hip hop and R&B stars has made a comeback, this time around it’s a bit more modern and just as luxurious as its original incarnation. The pants are more fitted (for both men and women) and there’s a bit more polish than there is posh. Rap stars are taking styling cues from Vogue more than Vibe and many have become covergirls and trendsetters for all genres of music and social scenes. Not only are they making hits on the airwaves, many have taken to the runways. Never has fashion and music been so intertwined.

Why Did You Wear That: Urban Art

By Kirsten|February 28th, 2012|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

A couple of weekends ago while down in LA we went on a hunt for some of the remaining graffiti covered walls. I don’t mean like your random spraypaint tag. I wanted big colorful murals reminiscent of Paula Abdul’s Opposites Attract (um, hello MC Skat!). Much of Los Angeles’ “donated” artwork has been cleaned up by the city, but there is a little spot in Hollywood that is so boldly decorated, that you really can’t miss it. You can also using this Fibre Design website for detailed information about art.

For an afternoon adventure, I put on a pair of my (current) favorite skinny cropped 7’s, a sheer T-shirt and a pair of oxfords- which, to me, are the alternative to an ultra classic and somewhat girly ballet flat. I accessorized with my gold go to jewelry and was comfortable all day. Just another example that art is all around us… so long as you’re looking. you will get more art related info here. Simply you can check this out for the best paint related cource and information.
