I believe that if you start while you're a youth, you have more time to figure out what is right and what works.

It officially launched during the always fashion influenced Howard University Homecoming 2008. DC has enveloped many different styles and concepts to send all over the country, but few reach the right people. It's relatively easy to print a couple of shirts and distribute them across a college campus. That part of the job is done. And if you think they're just another clothing line, then why would Diddy be wearing their shirt?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8MKJmxQle0GAbVXRMb9_7jSyyzgFCY6aI-qvNmIK4ZX9l-Y2_OdXMqBA5JAqpFm6GKocjMLGMSTZ5-1eHAXAOS8CIdbzwjEOaWGq7UsftoJQZ6WKYFyRAPl200JSGDYAQvSpl_PohqZY/s1600-h/n8904904_32946203_393.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8MKJmxQle0GAbVXRMb9_7jSyyzgFCY6aI-qvNmIK4ZX9l-Y2_OdXMqBA5JAqpFm6GKocjMLGMSTZ5-1eHAXAOS8CIdbzwjEOaWGq7UsftoJQZ6WKYFyRAPl200JSGDYAQvSpl_PohqZY/s320/n8904904_32946203_393.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272809764085150258" border="0" /></a><br />In this case, a picture is worth only 3 words: "They did that."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCaInwfJv9jf5KUR8PvdbXp4oAlZZpddRYYBPJu46NYDWHiiZjCCp46iaEsmfb5vpwIZdgH-p4yUqAJ7PFbFAjqv-IVp-TNVBPqcXCUdfu0Uft0h2tzRQQ2fsffSV5YHWlIHlknpjqpPo/s1600-h/n1143240792_30182395_5897.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCaInwfJv9jf5KUR8PvdbXp4oAlZZpddRYYBPJu46NYDWHiiZjCCp46iaEsmfb5vpwIZdgH-p4yUqAJ7PFbFAjqv-IVp-TNVBPqcXCUdfu0Uft0h2tzRQQ2fsffSV5YHWlIHlknpjqpPo/s320/n1143240792_30182395_5897.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272811948145692978" border="0" /></a><br />Please oh please be a part of history and support our own!

Below is a description of the name and pictures of the shirts he plans on cranking out to the masses:<br /><br /><blockquote>"WATERMELON DEMOCRACY™ is the idea that through the development of our core and strengthening of our outer surface, we can achieve the success, power, and true freedom that we desire.<span style="font-weight: bold;">Watermelon </span>represents the hard outer surface while having a rich sweet soul. Just like a ripe Watermelon means its ready and fully prepared, as does a developed Watermelon represent a person fully prepared to take on life's challenges. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Democracy </span>symbolizes the power and freedom we should aspire to possess marked by a dedication towards empowering others."</blockquote><br /><a onblur="try

You can do this without looking cheap, I assure you!!! Just be innovative and use good judgement. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll start out with the top. Both prices and temperatures seem like they're at all-time highs. So I stopped by Target to see what I could find that would be light and breezy to keep you cool.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZs0Zk3mBb7LTNtpEsLX00ZQB-tq3FO7vHLm1FdXuokA8SlGckFprQb-JwvemcKeHot9KMQNxaYbzA8nSKHi4wbnyIsq0sP5fbsTqgAL68XoW5dfOGEHorl3-lyoyPn1j5oKLFk0yFjE/s320/5P2525V-W.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217862293947050306" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik257P0MBFNROjwUg2kzlpMeCd-l3EtRXS2y8zfDh7Ljyma4sBfp3J3SnY2eQBRNG12jYe3o8azVswGs8QreZISI1qqKW7DKxkxpogs9pwHG2sTPm3B9eip44N0iRZO9zleMfT1KxSbJ0/s320/PL-vneck.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217862295914314802" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I picked up a pack of size small v-necks in the men's section (since they don't make them for women) for around 6 or 7 dollars. A basic tee is so versatile and it's easy to throw on if you're in a rush. Pair with skinny jeans and colored sandals and you're good to go. Don't forget to add a chunky necklace to add more depth to your outfit.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Another frugal find I located at Old Navy.

My friend Michael Jones has started his own magazine entitled "JAYE". He's in his second issue (July 2008) and might I add, it is FANTASTIC! Michael is the editor in chief, and is constantly engulfed in the magazine. After attending Fashion Week in February, he was inspired to start the publication. He lives and breathes fashion, and has put his ideas in motion with the help of his staff.

And that's what me and Leslie have been doing. Don't worry, we're back ON IT for the summer! I know I can speak to all students when I say that the last month of school went by soooo slowly! We were all scrambling trying to get the grades we wanted, and I think everything paid off. (Well it did for me at least.)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This summer, it's all about COLOR. It's about sporting that fly sh*t that no one else will think to put together. It's about getting out of your comfort zone and looking your best at ALL times. Here are a couple of items I pulled that will be HOTTTT for your summer shindigs, trips to the mall, or just hanging out with old friends.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.hellz-bellz.com/">Hellz Bellz</a> new Spring/Summer 08</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6TP7UUoQ_aabCJHQuarQAeawtW0JkeYsfkHHimVReJTLrS9lfpeTP9t-LgFIZXexBQq2E8A05TQTKHZz9TxHCK2bgs66swfGxcaiNML552w3jyftx-na-eBIN_HuuVOP0osLsgCXk5kc/s320/SPRING-II.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204698083787723010" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love the v-neck in the middle. I think sometimes we get limited in the kinds of tee's we wear. And the v-neck just adds a little bit of a different look. I LOVE Hellz Bellz and will continue to rock it forever! And the quality of their t-shirts are SUPREME! (Just remember to wash them in cold water to preserve the color.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Neeext....<a href="http://www.obeyclothing.com/">Obey</a> has some cutesy tee's to pair with your denim shorts!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_tYgXfcZ7_JOrvvjAfrpfRqsQ86MlvzYexgF4NTYjSACm3Ase72MjwRKFjyXxwK110vcKbGkHZNXqBFJgXbH-D0qqXaaJUoiFQ8wrvn3ToHwfUM0sSD8SnAqACcO8X5bB8PV6f5Uwgjc/s320/318822831.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204704586368209202" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuAYbktrgNFcrBMKsfNl4aspfch731eYnCZ1UNJaR78vVoQ-HZHPfEMl2QmaYp4QcYdAEpbUONww49m7lmI8hdThGH-956e_8e5cs1otr4i4hU37kvmC085Gy8QhHVXo_7Ie2EroOIPmc/s320/318822830.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204704728102129986" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm not really into screen tees with just the designer's name/logo on it, but the first one is cute!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> The second one reminds me of the 90's for some reason.

Remember the Ferris Bueller's we showed you a while back??? Well they've dropped and they are REALLY hard to find! I would tell you where my are from, but my boyfraaand bought them for me and he won't tell! Maybe Leslie will let you in on the secret...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, they're really super-duper dope, and probably my favorite sneaker so far! And they can go with anything. I love them sooo much!!! Here's some pics of Leslie and Brad sporting theirs and my little niece trying to wear mine:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcbhzH7Xsah2FnWZZR2ein-pfZfYBtQ4MdHVsfnb4lWY188Qog-k7jsu-HRPFoDOs2LwEs0D2YmeiH8w1ZlsNHZF8Bg9Def2h9AdlzwuBCCkeiBo85wTLvPnDt_8tp_bG5Eo95jlOW-qU/s320/318825033.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204707657269825890" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9EOcYLY1WTNI3OAGKAU2PiCbDqsgzAwRt71MCVymmLrELGztLFAVWPYxXt-jJxQmf8RqZIYk5DZo6wWezdikKbdBxC07c04m72MDUJbjFpaZLtpPfC_8lM_AIh2zMafwDvfg3QBHJ5Lo/s320/318825034.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204707807593681266" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikrOjF29EcoaoalAWfz9uEjz47m1ZToElR-WK9xMJHF3MYonwig44RPrbh1N6U_UwNu8XXB8alxZ317hItjr4ItpeSWuagF38w39IqKiQlx8NbvZJNJKyrfUgf5mOu0WJ6AbEp5GysHpY/s320/318825032.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204707983687340418" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Now that's what you call DuMb FlY.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Ok now for something a little more attainable.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY_5oSDMUOCsIctqYKpHnaa1gawv5vzitkm_gU9FIYxeSr2n9cYJ2HW5LWd2fHQXdhRPCJeoA2Y1lw7sODBGsZEG2E3li6a85-vQAAbEDYu9OfK13wKOev8itgz1CZlQdQT3azIC_9aQM/s320/194_0.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204709349486940562" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I saw these Puma's online and in a store (<a href="http://www.gotocentre.com/">Centre</a> at Mockingbird Station for those in Dallas, so they shouldn't be that hard to find.

I thought it was appropriate to make a whole post about men's style because we cover so few men's items. Today I'm going to show you the newest, hottest items that will for sure have you boys turning heads. And it's not just about a hot shirt or some cool shoes. It's about the whole ensemble'. If you're well put-together, the ladies will love you! :)<div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br /><div> </div><div>First, the fitted hat. You can never go wrong with the plain navy Yankees or the black and yellow Pirates, but there is so much variety when it comes to fitted's. </div><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Eeha9FxWvw6esyxB3_m0HDXqEqUY8zAT58XZcKzwLpl91Qh-mb1FaOaNXpdE5PlowhaIYejJLzb-LwjiM8zqrh4mkdbqCJPJ6wpk5GmQY20mw2xEia6yQfPuYixw3dy_TK9kZAmZu9U/s320/dc-comics-new-era-59fifty-fitted-cap-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176192491832221730" /><div>I believe in branching out, and there's nothing wrong with a little splash of color done the right way or wearing something totally out of the realm of baseball teams. DC Comics and New Era 59Fifty have collaborated to bring us something SPECIAL coming out on March 15th.

This semester is killing me! I have been so busy! I know Black History Month was this past February, but that is Ridiculous. Black Hisory is all year around!!! So in continuance of the so-called "Black History Month", I have decided to feature <span style="color:#ffcc00;">African American Designers!!!</span> So get excited and read on! P.S. dont hate me for leaving you all high and dry! :( Oh, and go <span style="color:#ff0000;">BARACK OBAMA!!!</span><br /><br /><br /><br />My first featured designer is <span style="color:#ffcc00;">Michael Knight!!!</span> I know ya'll have seen him before, he was on season 3 of Project Runway and featured on BET's Rip The Runway. He was by far my <span style="color:#ff0000;">FAVORITE</span> and, in my opinion, definitely should have <span style="color:#ff0000;">WON!!!</span> I liked Michael so much because his designs were <span style="color:#ff0000;">FLY</span> and <span style="color:#ff0000;">SEXY!</span> He doesn't "look" like the average fashion designer, but that is what makes him so intriguing! We need something new in this fashion industry, something to spice up things! It's time for a change and <span style="color:#ffcc00;">Michael Knight</span> is <span style="color:#ff0000;">IT!!!</span> I have no doubt in my mind that he could be the next <span style="color:#ff0000;">TOP</span> designer among young Hollywood!<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172954232289057970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk53Xj8vrGMCL8KpaijFkhitFxriepQFs4Cx5loua76Kfc4oRTf45HQPsswO3YTUXvDzl03ExHaJv_Unool7cejFdoak80o5EJzuiL718aUXpTPdQ3LGilq2undSnrkbKYb5oh3Z8OOTQ6/s400/Michael%2520Knight.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Michael Knight was born in Germany but raised in Atlanta. He graduated from Georgia Southern University with a Bachelor's Degree in Apparel Design and Merchandising. Michael became a small hit in Atlanta while designing for Jagged Edge, 112, Ciara, Free, and the <span style="color:#ff0000;">Infamous</span> Queen Latifah! Not feeling that his career was at the level he wanted, he auditioned for Project Runway. He was turned down the first time, but picked himself up and tried again for the next season. He landed a spot on Season 3 of Project Runway and has been on the move ever since!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172950551502085282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1mLLQNEkLgBu18bpS_J08ZRBP5J-HZLODqJ9gjXSAL_DGoyi_2xeegZzHrQgV8VEzPEj3w9qOUss065G7B8g0M0N5di-tmeADt6qa6GVwc-i7rSMhyYlBi3uqQ7MoAPV7hMgfYBvNWPrO/s320/13.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here are some of the looks from Michael's 2007 Spring Collection.

Her designs are her <span style="color:#3333ff;">Ultra-Femine</span> and <span style="color:#00cccc;">Vintage-Inspired</span>, and have been worn by My Girl B!-Beyonce Knowles!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172928964996455458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="320" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwYiBvpY1d5YNCRf6kvjB05huogmCEMxSId5ufaQdjK5Z2IH5g8zoNWqmRo3cA2rAU08efRq6XTZEhAhx0ZSRXCIq_5tL7crDoVY8b6y8uqaoC_gQsJUyv13vovaSBZUICHtBT7vzjSWHI/s320/tr_08_pant.jpg" width="357" border="0" /></div><br /><br /><div align="left">Tracy has three collections: Tracy Reese, Plenty by Tracy Reese, and Plenty Frock. Tracy Reese, includes linear tailoring and subtle sensuality with North African inspired pieces, where feminity is exuded through mixes of the 1930s and 1970s. Plenty has a mixture of Vietnamese, retro-American, Rajistani, and English styles in this spring's collection. Plenty Frock combines the regalty of Uptown with the edginess of Dowtown, and is a less-expensive line.</div><p align="left"> </p><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwDZ9CL1bQlO_LPS2PUXP0zEex3EOE6qr7lY_K9_aWcYcAy7zNKfwjwN6h2Jtm1pDWXj2KsMiISOZe26qoZx9rkw0eoxwvTycNJyuXQPklX1uXkCxG0kAzSjQj31uYZzdAs9lbljsC4A02/s1600-h/00200m.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172929454622727218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="320" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwDZ9CL1bQlO_LPS2PUXP0zEex3EOE6qr7lY_K9_aWcYcAy7zNKfwjwN6h2Jtm1pDWXj2KsMiISOZe26qoZx9rkw0eoxwvTycNJyuXQPklX1uXkCxG0kAzSjQj31uYZzdAs9lbljsC4A02/s320/00200m.jpg" width="200" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuSlS0igXmCQ7wxfgUwfhKYBccArHTnv9bF8FdjkP5wsmcVdDRjiHwIUj95xAUmAGC4YagTZgSKJaTaB8AsU06nWkJ13AKaj-9IzSXX-TIJ_SKqyfX_GGQoiZk-zSx5E9IBhrt1IFCWjjb/s1600-h/00390m.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172933569201396818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="320" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuSlS0igXmCQ7wxfgUwfhKYBccArHTnv9bF8FdjkP5wsmcVdDRjiHwIUj95xAUmAGC4YagTZgSKJaTaB8AsU06nWkJ13AKaj-9IzSXX-TIJ_SKqyfX_GGQoiZk-zSx5E9IBhrt1IFCWjjb/s320/00390m.jpg" width="200" border="0" /></a></div>It was soooo <span style="color:#cc33cc;">HARD </span>choosing the looks to feature in this post because all of the designs were so <span style="color:#00cccc;">AMAZING!</span> These clothes are <span style="color:#3333ff;">EXACTLY</span> what I see myself wearing five years from now, strolling down the streets of New York.
