Motorcycle Love: My Look for Today

Hey guys,
From here on I will post my inspiration for what I wear everday on a regular basis. Yesterdays inspiration was "Combat Attack". I am so in love with my black combat boots I had to share the way I rocked it with you guys. I did it simple with a green plaid shirt that I embellished with studs.(I will post a pic later) some H&M jeans and my self studded leather jacket. Check out the leather jacket:
This is a Fall Must Have. You can either purchase a studded leather jacket, or you get a leather and stud it yourself. You can purchase some studs from a variety of trim stores in the Fashion District. You can check M&J Trimming.


Today I am feeling like a Motorcycle Rider. Since I was young I always wanted to purchase a motorcycle and always loved the edgy style of a bike rider. Today I am showing the biker in me. You can put the look together to. Chek it out:




The focus of this look are the motorcycle boots. I am rocking it with some black printed leggings from Forever 21, a black graphic racer back tank from Urban Outfitters, Black Cardigan, and a Green Leather Blazer.

DBrown meets Diddy

Wassup You'll,

Yesterday my dreams came true. If you know me you know that I am in love with PDiddy. He is my idol. I admire his style and mostly his business ethic. He started as an intern and is now an entreprenuer.He is a Music and Fashion Icon and I strive to follow his steps to success.

Yesterday Diddy and his Dirty Money group stopped by 106 & Park to drop off their new video for the single "Angels". Album is due to release in December. I had the pleasure of being formally introduced to him.



Check out the video:




While Diddy was in the building he threw out fake money and in the process his ring flew into the audience.
At the end of the show they did not allow anyone to leave the studio while they looked for the ring. Unfortunately they did not find the ring. Someone is going to have a great christmas.However I love you Diddy.

DBrown Meets Melonie Fiona

Last week I bumped into Melonie Fiona and I just had to introduce myself. She came to 106 & Park to drop off her video for her new single "It Kills Me". This song is soooo real. The song is about a relationship gone wrong, and the difficulty in turning away from someone your so deeply inlove with. The song gives me goose bumbs and her voice is amazing.



Melonie is a Singer and Songwirter from Toronto, Canada and was born in Guyana, From hearing her sing you can tell that she is inspired by the Blues and Neo Soul. She has a soulful and powerful voice.Her album "The Bridge" will be available November 4th.


Check out the video:





















Please make sure you get this album.

DBrown in the "Daily News" giving back to her community

Hey people,

Just incase you missed this, I am not only into Fashion and Music. I am also into giving back to my community. Before I became a stylist, In 2007 I worked for the Bronx based Non-profit organization, Citizens Advice Bureau,  as a College Advisor/Mentor/Dance Instructor. I tutored teenagers, prepared them for college and introduced them to the Fashion & Music Industry. One student in particular,Nassou Camara, I assisted in receiving the Bill Gates Millenium Scholarship. This scholarship awarded her full tuition and book money for her undergraduate studies, graduate studies, and PHD. Due to this successful achievement her and I received some publicity.We were interviewed by the "Daily News" and another local newspaper.

Activist's wish is grant-ed





Spotlight on Nassou Camara

BY ETHAN ROUEN
Tuesday, August 7th 2007, 4:00 AM

Nassou Camara (l.), 18, with education advisor Dina Brown, has been awarded a Gates Millennium Scholarship for college.
Hard work pays off, but hard work plus good work landed a windfall for Nassou Camara.
Camara, 18, was recently awarded a Gates Millennium Scholarship, which will provide her with a full college scholarship and money for graduate school.
"I'm looking forward to using that money to educate myself and help the people in my community," she said.
Camara, who lives in Morris Heights and will attend Albertus Magnus College in the fall, dreams of becoming a U.S. senator, but her public service began years ago.
"She's into so many things," said Dina Brown, education adviser at the Citizens Advice Bureau, who nominated her for the scholarship. "She's very determined to fight for her community, and not just her culture, all cultures."
At 14, Camara started working at the nonprofit Harlem Children's Zone, helping to make a documentary about West African immigrants in Harlem.In addition to joining the student council and the social action club at the Community School for Social Justice, she also works now for Justice Works, a Bronx-based nonprofit group.
Camara can talk fluently about Rockefeller drug laws, wrongful imprisonment and a slew of other issues.
"Anything dealing with education, academics and the civil rights of students in her school, she stands up," Brown said. "She's the voice."
It was obvious that Camara would continue her fight after high school, but it seemed like money would be a huge hurdle.She was offered partial scholarships to several schools, but she couldn't afford her first choice, Magnus.
At Brown's prodding, she filled out the 30-page Gates scholarship application in a week, briefly putting aside her other hobbies, the exact kinds of experiences the judges were looking for.Camara spends most of her free time reading and helping her community and, when she's not, she said she's searching for injustice elsewhere because, "There's always something you have to fight for."
