Post-stilettos, Heal your Heels in Fiels!
Remember....
New York, NY--- July 2009 --- Amidst the economic chaos, in September of 2008 creator/entrepreneur Daniella Siri, 25, set out to establish a premium-quality denim brand that offered irresistibly trendy, yet classic denim without the premium price tag. Thus Recession Denim was born. 
In June 2009 Jaslene Gonzalez winner of America's Next Model became the new spokes model for the Recession Denim 2009 campaign. Jaslene embodies all things that Recession Denim stands for.
You can currently find Recession Denim at the selected shops: 
I think they are pretty cool. They add a totally different look to an outfit and it is not tacky like those clear straps (clear plastic is just as bad as the actual bra...they have backless bras now...weird I know)
According to the website they are handmade and can hold more than 25lbs of pressure. They are guaranteed not to break. Sounds like a good idea right?
There are 16 different styles you can choose from that should compliment almost any outfit.
They are reasonably priced considering the types of stones used (Swarvoski crystals and pearls). Only "the best" beads are selected to give you the best quality. They run from about $57-$129. 
So Sunday was the last day of the Afro-Punk festival celebrating the eclectic essence of African music, film, food, fashion, with a punk rock edge! Sunday was the block party and I hit the streets with my homegirl Shelly! Sorry there were no pictures of us but we got some great shots of merchandise from some great vendors. So check out a few pics of the fashion and designers.
Ok so I bought this shirt from "Cut It Out Apparel" because I believe in the message and PacMan is one of my favorite games EVERRR! The PacMan is eating and destroying "HO, BITCH, SKEEZA, SHAWTY, SKANK, and MA"
The back says GAME OVER....guys its a wrap for those "terms of endearment!" Treat us with the RESPECT we deserve and address us appropriately. I LOVE this line because it promotes healthy self-esteem for women. We need to understand that we are worth more!!! Female empowerment through fashion....I LOVE IT! Stay tuned for more features of CUT IT OUT until then check out http://www.cutitoutapparel.com/
A few months ago I was in Harlem and actually met the owner and designer, Chanel of "Junk Prints." Her style is so unique! From accessories, to pillows, to wallets, to dresses, to shirts, and buttons she does it all! Below you see a chain which says "The American Dream" made out of old vinyl records! Can you say D-O-P-E!!!!
Here is one of her unique bags.
Another chain "Visionary" made out of vinyls and a chain representing "NYC" She also has vinyl chains for each borough!
I think this is one of my favorite pieces....the Big Man Bag...so FLY!
Here are some pillows with the Junk Prints Mascots...I love the one with the swoop lol http://www.junkprints.com/
Ok so here is a line by two young black males from Brooklyn! Flatbush to be exact....(shout out to Brownsville...lol) The line is called "Devosh" which means "Uniqueness within us" I love it!
I love to see young black men doing positive things! They have some really fly shirts so KidRobot and you other people look out for these two here.
The men behind Devosh Jonathan, 21 and Douglass 22 http://www.devosh.com/
Ok the next few shirts are from "I Luv Black People" and I really do! We are just so unique, creative, versatile, just fly overall! The shirt below "The Soul Clap" which conveniently comes in all of the colors of the organizations in the DIVINE NINE...shout out to ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY, INC. :-) Too bad they didn't have any smalls.
They have all types of t-shirts and dresses! Definitely check it out http://www.iluvblackpeople.com/
