WIDE LOAD COMING THROUGH..BUT WE KINDA LOVE IT!!!

Today on the bus while i was flipping through my AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2011 Issue of UPTOWN MAGAZINE there was a print add Introducing the Ralph Lauren Black Label Denim. The print add featured these Wide Leg Pleated Jeans, now normally i am NOT a fan of Wide Leg Jeans but there is something about this pair of denim that i am just loving! Its almost like the the male Maxi Skirt/Pant but better
, so i would more than likely feature this with some type of sweater and boot!. What do you think about this denim from Ralph Lauren????

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAQUAN SMITH

Laquan Smith has to be one of my top 10 people i look up to in the Fashion Industry, and one of my favorite Fashion Designers. This man is a genius, his looks are so different but so unique and different. I honestly feel like his design style can be put in the same boat as a Betsey Johnson or a Vivienne Westwood, but he still has is own originality in his work that he can't be compared to any designers that came before him. Laquan Smith is giving these new designers a run for there money to, i mean how many new designers can say they have there clothes wore by some of the most popular women in the entertainment business, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga and Tyra Banks are just a few women in his celebrity clientele! I personally want to see Laquan Smith showing at Lincoln Center in the near Future and his clothes being in store fronts of Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdales and many other places. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAQUAN SMITH!!! Have a Bless day, we cant wait to see more collections from you. Below are some women looking stunning in Laquan Smith. Make Sure you take time to check out his official website at http://laquansmith.com/?load=flash

Band Of Outsiders

 I Never ever want to see Conflict in the Fashion World, but if i had to put two designers against each other for a Fashion Battle, the first two designers i would put against each other are Rag & Bone and BAND OF OUTSIDERS!!! They are another very trendy, very edgy brand that i feel very Fashion Forward people love and understand, The Men's looks for the Fall 2011 were out of this world! The HUGE Grey Scarf is a must have for the Fall and winter, And i will do ANYTHING for this Fur, or Faux Fur Jacket in this very first picture. The color options are amazing. I feel like they have an even mix of looks for the guy who wants to play it safe and the man who want to take it all the way to the edgy and knock down the walls for fashion! We are very big fans of Band Of Outsiders!!! These Pictures of there looks came from GQ Magazine

Incase You Havent Notice, IM OBSESSED WITH RAG & BONE

Yes this is like my third post about the amazing men behind Rag & Bone! I just think they are so edgy and Fashion Forward and trendy and i just cant get enough of them. There men's looks for the Fall 2011 season didn't disappoint. What are we loving, EVERYTHING DUH!!! But really the layering of course, If you haven't notice I LOVE LAYERED LOOKS, i think that add more to a outfit. The different textures in this collection AMAZING, I die for those patchworks, colored blocked pants in the first picture and that same styled jacket in the second and third picture! I would love to own this entire collection, Rag & Bone does no wrong in my eyes! Below are pictures of looks from the collection taking from GQ magazines official website.

Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2011

Tommy Hilfiger may not be one of my favorite overall designers, But when it comes to menswear I love Tommy Hilfiger and this men's collection just gives me fashiongasms all over the place!!! I'm actually really feeling the scarves, the layers and the use of color in this collection. I really feel like This collection should be in every Fashion Forward Mans closet. Below are my favorite looks from the collection. I got these pictures from GQ Magazine.

My Wardrobe

UGGGHHHHH!!! My closet is something amazingly stupid right now, i have so many pieces of clothes and not enough oufits! I dont remember if i told you in a previous post but a good friend of mines, who knows very little about fashion had asked me if i had the chance to go to New York Fashion Week what would i wear AND I FREAKED OUT!!! I personally feel like i lack Personal Style. I say that because I dont think i have any complete outfits in my closet that i can pull with confidence and say POW, IM GOING TO NEW YORK. In a perfect world I would Love to be able to open my closet and pull out an entire designer outfit with a huge oversized Birkin and be like a Male Verison of JUNE AMBROSE, or pull out some awesome vintage pieces and be a Male Verison of RACHEL ZOE! However I am NIGEL ISAIAH, And dont get me wrong i and so proud of who i am from a fashion stand point, Im just stuck on Dressing in Head to Toe Designers or Thrift and create Unique Looks That I Could Be Proud Of. (PAUSE)

TIME TO LIGHTIN THIS UP WITH A PICTURE!!!!

(Charolette Ronson Fall 2011-MAXI SKIRT ANS SWEATER!!!)

Well The most odvious answer to my question is mixing highs in lows, Which is what i do now i just have to add some more Personal Style To it. Im hoping that the Fall Brings out the Best of my style, Im going to take Fashion risks and Push the boundarys, really being fashion foward! I think fall would bring out the best in me

WHAT DO WE WANT TO SEE IN THE FALL- Maxi Skirt

Why are we loving the Maxi Skirt for the fall, Well First of all, ITS LOOKS GREAT WITH EVERY STYLE OF SHOE!! You can wear your Maxi Skirt with Tights And a pair of Mary Jane's, or pull your Maxi up, Making it a little High Waisted and rock it with a awesome edgy Ankle Boot, Punk it up and even rock a Combat Boot with your Maxi! Wear your Maxi with a Over sized Chunky Knit Fisherman Sweater or a Blouse tucked in with a High Pump! I think they can be one of the most important items in your closet because they can be in style all year round and they look great on ALL BODY TYPES! Below are some of my favorite Maxi Skirts. Anybody that buys a Maxi Skirt for the Fall, Take a picture and send it to iwannagotofashionweek@yahoo.com

Why is it my Dream Bag, well for one I LOVE PROENZA SCHOULER, they are one of my favoriter designers, they are a pretty new designer and only somebody who is into fashion would recognize the understand the beauty of the PS1 and know the $2350.00 price tag that comes with it. I guess i would have to start saving my money now if i ever want to buy a PS1.. UNLESS THEY DECIDED TO SEND ME ONE FOR FREE. Lol

Every once in awhile I'm able to Find Some Unique, Crazy Trendy Pieces from these places but normally find those better One of I Kind Pieces when i got Thrifting. The Button Downs and maybe the blazer Will more than likely be MICHAEL Michael Kors, Polo Ralph Lauren or Calvin Klein and LEVIS has always been my denim of Choice.

The other bag is a Tote bag, its Navy Blue and Black and it Retails for $195.00... Sooo Which one shall i buy... and P.S. Rag & Bone, we love the detail on the pocked

My Favorite Blog, LoveBrownSugar Feature on Essence Magazine Website

For those who don't know, I LOVE CHRISTINA BROWN FROM LOVEBROWNSUGAR!!!!!!! She is absolutely amazing and i check her blog EVERYDAY, AND READ HER POSTS WORD FOR WORD. Even thought she has a blog has nothing to do with men's fashion, her blog is my favorite! I was actually going to wait until i got my followers up or more daily Views on my blog before i blogged about her but as soon as i saw her on Essence Website I just had to Express my love for her!!! EVERYBODY GO CHECK OUT HER BLOG http://www.lovebrownsugar.com/ AND THE ARTICLE ON ESSENCE MAGAZINE WEBSITE http://www.essence.com/2011/08/18/curvy-girls-guide-to-chic-with-lovebrownsugar/ !!!

Being Financially and Fashion Fowardly Responsible

Being Finacially Responsible AND trying so hard to keep up with buying Designer Items on a regular bases is HARD!!! I absolutely hate it but its something I have to do because theres nothing worst then being broke. So today I went into the MICHAEL KORS store in my mall and stumbled across this watch that I want! I've Been wanting a Michael Kors watch for about 3 months now because alot of my favorite bloggers have one and I honestly want to fit right in. I knew I could just but the watch today but it was my goal to put some money aside in my savings so I decided it would be smart to purchase a gift card and add more to it every time I get paid until I can buy the watch! I plan on actually getting the watch next friday but I might have to push my purchase back 2 week but thats fine. Im just excited to be on the road to purchasing my watch!!!
