I’ve always admired Lisa Bonet’s bohemian style in The Cosby show. She was always so free spirited when it came to her wardrobe. Since the vintage look is trending so much now I knew her style would be perfect to inspire all of my fashionistas!

I love the stripe hat style, her and Queen Latifah rocked that fiercely. The hat kind of reminds me of a traditional African headwear the meN in my family wears. The picture with the sweatshirt and the tights is definitely a typical fall outfit for me. And that last photo is so beautiful and effortlessly elegant.I currently have a similar hair style. I love when my hair is untamed, big with beautiful curls just like the divas in the 80s. Hope y’all ladies got some ideas and remember to make it your own!

Happy Thrifting.

New Flava: Rihanna x Where Have You Been Video Review

My first pre judgement before watching this video was ” Oh lord another subliminal message video from Miss Bad gal Ri Ri”. But to be honest I really enjoyed this video. The music video for “Where Have You Been” was filmed March 7 and March 8, 2012 in Los Angeles, California and was directed by Dave Meyers. Everybody knows Dave Meyers does dope videos, he’s been in the this field since I was 9.I liked the fact that the choreography looked fun and easy to learn. I applaud Rihanna for at least trying some choreography in her video other than her usual “dutty wine” and I think she looked amazing doing it. Also I loved the different visuals such as the African and the dark vivid scene. For all my fashionistas make sure you check out the inspiring fashion from her hair to her eyebrows which are very detailed. The song might actually take a little time to grow on me though because I actually enjoy “Reggae Ri Ri over Techno Ri Ri”. But I guess it’s safe to say that this is another successful hot dance Rihanna record with an even hotter video…

Vintage Flava: House Party Cast

As a little kid growing up in the 90s, I could not wait to be a teenager so I could experience the fun of a unauthorized house party. I loved every bit of this movie but mostly I loved the fashion. There were so many different fashion statements going on in this movie both female and male. From Kid’s signature hair styles to TlC’s gender bender wear, you can tell that the 90s teenagers loved to have fun with their clothing. Sometimes I wish I was a teenager during the 90s instead of the millineum so I could experience the essence of these fashion trends. I also noticed how girls wore less revealing outfits as opposed to now where its all about the tighter, the better. But’s alright ladies if you got it, flaunt it! My favorite outfit is Left Eye‘s athletic gear, she was wearing the hell outta that jersey!!! RIP my beautiful sista.. Oh yea and Sharlene’s sweater was too fly, love the colors!

Get inspired ladies and gentleman…

Vintage Flava: NWA x Tiffani-Amber Thiessen from Save By The Bell

For the ladies, I love this look of Tiffani aka Kelly off of one of my favorite tv shows, Save The Bell. Suspenders with a short bustier or a bandeau bra is definitely a fly look. Wear a pair of boyfriend jeans for a casual look or you could dress this up with a pair of harem pants.

Ain’t nothin realer than NWA back in 1987. Gold ropes, black & white plain shirts, and black snapbacks= the classic flava of the california gangstas. fellas try this look with a kings or raiders snapback..

Hope this inspired you, Enjoy!

The ladies of Salt N Pepa. This is for all my vintage fashionistas out here who aren’t scared to go for that daring look. I love the leather coats with the gold rope chain. And the high white socks is a nice touch on Salt.Pepa’s acid washed jeans is a classic 80′s look. Also Check out the bold hair cuts.. Pepa is working that blonde though lol Love it!!!

No vintage junkie could not deny the style looks of Will Smith & Jazzy Jeff back in the 90′s. I love the graphics Jazzy Jeff shirt has, He smooth! Peep the glasses and the haircuts too.

Fly guys and girls, Hope this got you inspired..
