ARDENT ORANGE

Say HI to ORANGE, the new lip color on the block. Orange lips look happy, young, vibrant and alive. It really is a welcome diversion from the red, pink and nude lips. Love it or hate it you've got to admire this lip color. Turn up your look a notch, GO ORANGE; let your lips do the talking.

A GENTLEMAN'S POCKET SQUARE

A pocket square on a man’s suit is impressive. It's an iconic piece used to add some finishing panache to a suit so as to distinguish one’s self.  The beauty of the pocket square is that adds elegance and sophistication to your outfit. It gives you an edge and distinguishes you. Nothing says gentleman like a pocket square. Below are pictures of some of my favorite celebrity gentlemen sporting the pocket square.

PRINCE CHARLES   All hail  His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. Prince Charles really is the epitome of style and good taste. The stripped suit, the tie and the silk pocket square neatly tucked in his suit pocket looks amazing.  But then he's royalty we wouldn't expect less from him would we?

                 

 TOM CRUISE   The Mission Impossible star sure looks top gun in this clean cut well tailored suit. His decision  to go with the white, peek-a-boo pocket square is a brilliant one. Its little details like this that count. Well done Tom.

DAVID BECKHAM  You can always count on him to look good in or out of a suit. He looks perfectly dapper in this stripped suit matched with a polka dot pocket square.

KANYE  WEST       All black everything. Love him or hate him you've got to admire his unique style. Notice how he wore different shades of black and then chose to accessorize with the silk polka dot pocket square.

DANIEL CRAIG   MR. 007 sure looks like a man you can trust to rescue a damsel in distress.  He pairs a classic black dinner suit with a white dress shirt, matching pocket square and a black bow tie. This look is both simple and fabulous.

DWAYNE  WADE  No one should ever look this hot. D-Wade looks incredible in this pattern suit jacket to which he added flair with a silk scarf as pocket square. Check out the Hublot watch and trademark finger wrap. Flawless. I love you Dwayne.

CHARLES  BARTHOLOMEW     Chuck Bass  the baddest boy on the upper east side definitely has two things going for him; his wealth and his flamboyant style. Chuck pairs a dark blue suit, blue and white striped shirt, blue patterned tie with a yellow and blue pocket square and red suspenders. This look is totally FAB!!!

LIAM HEMSWORTH    The Hunger Games actor  looks delightfully dapper in this double breasted suit. I absolutely LOVE this!!! The suit, the tie and most especially the pocket square.



 

OHIMAI ATAFO   The amazing designer is known for making bold fashion statements with his outfit whenever he steps out. He looks stylish, i really like how he played with about four colors and still managed not to go over the top. The pocket square is just right!!.

MATTHEW BOMER     Handsome and smart  Neal Caffrey also has good taste when it comes to clothes. He is impeccably dressed in this three piece well-tailored suit that fits like a glove. The straight fold white pocket square is a great touch.

USHER wins it in this stone colored Emporio Armani suit. The black and white checked shirt with the coordinating black and white polka-dot tie and pocket square create a perfect look.

DENZEL WASHINGTON    This right here is a man on fire. He shows his sexy style in a tailored double-breasted suits fit for a king. Notice how he matches the color of the suit, the shirt, the tie and that of the pocket square.

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS  The legendary  Barney Stinson is "yoda" in a suit. I mean he looks wait for it .....  AWESOME!!!!.  I'm really digging the polka dot tie and the pocket square.

Jon Hamm    Don Draper – Mad Men. He has got to be the most dapper guy on TV. This guy is a pro. when it comes to  crisp white pocket squares. I mean just take a second look at him.

ITS A LOVE STORY

I'm a huge romantic and such a sucker for happy endings, so you can easily understand why this is one of my favorite love songs. "Love Story" is a country pop song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Its a  musical adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The lyrics are from the perspective of Juliet Capulet. There is however, a pleasant twist to the story. Taylor replaced Romeo and Juliet's original tragic conclusion with a happy ending. The "happy ever after" is what makes this love song an extraordinary one. I highlighted my favorite parts of the song. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were both young when I first saw you.

I close my eyes and the flashback starts:

I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.

See you make your way through the crowd

And say, "Hello,"

Little did I know...

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you, "Please don't go"

And I said...

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.

Oh, oh.

'cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

But you were everything to me,

I was begging you, "Please don't go"

And I said...

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.

This love is difficult but it's real.

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Oh, oh.

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around.

My faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said...

Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.

I keep waiting for you but you never come.

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...

Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.

I love you, and that's all I really know.

I talked to your dad ‒ go pick out a white dress

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

'cause we were both young when I first saw you

YOUR MAN

      
I'm such a huge fan of country music and one of my best country songs is 'YOUR MAN' by JOSH TURNER. "Your Man"  peaked at Number One on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in early 2006, becoming the first Number One hit of his career. I hope you all fall madly and deeply in love with this song like i did.  I swoon every single time i listen to this song.
My favorite lines are
 "I Can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man".

  Here is the lyrics:

Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low
Put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand

I've been thinking 'bout this all day long
Never felt a feeling quite this strong
I can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man

There's no hurry
Don't you worry
We can take our time
Come a little closer
Lets go over
What I had in mind

Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low
Put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand

I've been thinking 'bout this all day long
Never felt a feeling quite this strong
I can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man

Ain't nobody ever love nobody
The way that I love you
We're alone now
You don't know how
Long I've wanted to

Lock the door and turn the lights down low
Put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand

I've been thinking 'bout this all day long
never felt a feeling that was quite this strong
I can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man
I Can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man.

YELLOW

This post is all about YELLOW!!!. At first i wasn't sure about this color, i was a little bit skeptical to be honest. The yellow dress however grew on me. Yellow is loud and screams for attention. If you want to turn heads, yellow is the way to go. There is something about yellow; its  a beautiful and vibrant color. Yellow shines with optimism and happiness. I really think people do not wear this color enough. Some  are of the opinion that yellow is too flashy and loud but then its yellow what do u expect. Here are pictures of some celebs looking vibrant in yellow dresses both flowing and short. Enjoy and be sure to spice up your wardrobe with a yellow dress.
