Trey - Breaking News - Today!

So, as a newly avid twitter-er, I was watching USTREAM this evening... Trey Songz to be exact, and we were given a sneak preview of the trailer to the video he is shooting/has already shot, for 'Your Side of the Bed'.


In the trailer the leading lady mentions how long it took for him to ask her out, showing us a very emotional and uber caring side of Trey. "...About 7 or 8 months." she said.

Also, there is mention of her DAUGHTER.

Trey, playing step-daddy? That is not ONLY noble but heart warming, as he says that he wants the little girl to comb her hair herself, so she'll know how to do it on her own.

This is his USTREAM - http://www.ustream.tv/treysongz#utm_campaign=twitter.com&utm_source=590213&utm_medium=social


& this wouldnt be complete without the actual song...

The Producer of Hits: Give Props, Where They Are Due

Al Shux... the man responsible for tracks such as Hi-Definition - Lupe Fiasco ft. Snoop Dogg and the recent hit Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys.

Recently interviewed by VIBE magazine, he gave details on his most mainstream work. Click HERE to read on more of this talented class-act.

Side note: We eagerly await another collabo with Lupe. Just saying...

"We the '92 Bulls, the dream team is US."

As a HUGE fan and follower of Lupe Fiasco I've been anxiously awaiting the new album Lasers (dropping early 2010) top hit the shelves so the lyrical intelligence of the man HIMSELF could bless us all.

After doing some digging around Youtube I came across what I IMMEDIATELY felt would be a hit. For your listening pleasure, here it is... Free - Lupe



Dedicated to my homie A Y, Ayanle Roble.

Vintage Finds

I lied AGAIN when I said my hiatus had come to a close, but you're not going to hold it against me, right? I thought so.

I've had many trips to 'The Village' in Woodbridge, VA, our local thrift shop and the things that people over look in this store are remarkable.

Here are just a few things worth purchasing, even for me and my newly-frugal state of mind.







Express denim jacket - aprox. $7.50












Briefcase (added chain, own) - aprox. $5.50











Vintage woven wallet - aprox. $2.00 !!












Hounds tooth knit cardigan - aprox. $6.50

The Feather That Tickles My Fancy.

Like a new car that you are itching to drive around in aimlessly, this hat NEEDED to be worn. But the only problem was, I bought it with one tiny red feather... so I added a larger peacocks feather. Now, with the extra touch of an even brighter color, the classic grey hat has been updated (or FILSAN-ified, if you will.)
