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.
