SOCiAL STYLE: Think Prints

So I’m in the party and this chick walks by and I’m like 'OMG she looks so fly!'….  I should make her the Diva of the week. And then I stop and go, 'but she only has on a simple top and a normal skirt though…..' *confused face*….. then I thought it must be the crop top, *but half the party is wearing that*….. then I realized that hers just stands out and then BY GEORGE I GOT IT!!!!! The pattern was just so billboard, Grammy, Oscars number one!!!! That’s what made her different. The colour, the direction, the texture, the pattern itself…. everything just worked for her.

From tiled prints, to animal, floral, or geometric, electric, eccentric and mind boggling exciting prints and patterns have seeped their way back into the hearts of fashion designers. There is nothing like the right print on a hot romper or button ups and it just adds that little Je ne sais quoi to the outfit. However before

What's Up: Twisted Spiritz

Hey guys!

The party of the week was "twisted spiritz". It was held at caymanas polo club, which is usually a pretty nice venue. Twisted was sponsored by Smirnoff... so it was liquor inclusive with little snack bits being offered to attendees such as frankfurters and soup. In the V.I.P booth, liquor and food was inclusive, as per usual.

Unfortunaley though Twisted turned out to be a disappointment to most patrons. Some complained that the venue was too big while others say it wasn't well supported and the crowd was too small.

 Patrons sipped their liquor while dancing to ZJ Johnny Kool as he gave the party some life! Other selectors that were featured were Coppershot, DJ Nicco and DJ Narity.

There were some familiar faces such as Wayne Marshall, Bling Dawg, Chris Gayle and a few others.

Although this party was lacking the party goers seemed to have had some amount of fun as they didn't start leaving the venue until about 4:00 am. 

So although the name TWISTED SPIRITZ is hot unfortunately the party wasn't.
We are all keeping our fingers crossed hoping that SMIRNOFF DREAM WEEKEND TWISTED SPIRITZ on 29th july 2011 will definitely deliver this time!

That's it for K.A's party review

Am your girl, POSH!

Designers We Adore: Minka

Q: What is your name?

A: Gillian Natalia Patrice Francis

Q: What is your occupation?

A: I like to say I’m a creative being; I don’t like to be labeled because I do so many things apart from being a fashion designer

Q: What/who inspired you to become a fashion designer?

A: To be honest I didn’t want to become a fashion designer per se, I wanted to do music and drama but because of a low budget I always made my own clothes and people started liking it and because the music wasn’t really happening right away I got into fashion and before I knew it my friends started writing me up in the newspaper then I showcased on Dweight Peters’ show and from there it just blew up.

Q: How would you describe the type of fashion that you promote?

SOCiAL Trend: Crop Tops

The social scene is use to ladies baring their midriffs, we've seen it in the 90's and now its back with a very elegant appeal..... Crop tops 2011. These tops of the moment are much more fitted and sophisticated and they literally look like you wore half your shirt out, this gives them a certain charm and personality.

 

Most ladies may try to shy away from wearing a crop top because

SOCiAL Advice: Personalize

Society is conformity, but don’t get lost in the crowd.

Our daily life in Jamaica requires that we blend in. In pre-school, we learnt to colour within the lines, in high school they gave us uniforms, now it seems everyone wants to tell us how to walk the social tight rope. Dress this way, talk that way, don’t go there, and not dressed like that etc. While the KA Bloggers realize we may be a little guilty of that too, we realize that standing out a little may go a long way.

Rules are necessary for seamless functionality but nobody ever got anywhere just toeing the line. Of course your resume must fit certain criteria but add a splash of your favourite colour! Yes, work attire must be modest, but add your personal flair. Make every trend your own and never 

apologize because your life gives you certain boundaries. You may be surprised how many times a little personality makes all the difference.

No one pays big bucks for what they can get every where else. But you'll have to remember that the extra mile is just that: extra. Make sure to meet all the requirements FIRST!

This Kingston Atitud Blogger thinks that the sexiest thing you can be is always yourself!

with just a little fun advice,

Niishi
