[FASHION] Accessories: Coach - Cotton Hemp Clutch

I am not usually a Coach kind of girl, but I do love this hemp clutch that they came out with. I spotted it in W and it has been on my mind ever since. I love the frill details, it would compliment any type of denim ensemble paired with a nude heel so well!

[MUSIC] Jamie Woon Sings To Lady Luck

JAMIE WOON - a British native songwriter/producer gone singer. Listening to this new track Lady Luck which was released yesterday (March 16th, 2011) it was refreshing to hear something other than that ignorance stuff that is coming out of an intimidating man over a heavy base beat. It was shocking to hear such a soulful found coming out of Jamie Woon. Unfamiliar with his previous work I was very impressed with the type of music he's supplying. 

JAMIE WOON is hands down the new Robin Thicke!

[ART] Lit Thursday - The Girl's Guide to Starting Your Own Business

My dad gave me this book about a month ago and it only took me a few days to run through it. It is a very quick read containing a lot of facts and success stories about women who have successfully launched their own businesses. The authors are two former co workers that were employed in corporate America but felt unfulfilled by their jobs. The two successfully started their own business and wrote this book to share with other women. Although they expose you to the benefits of having your own company and being your own boss, they also give you the cold facts and introduce you to the legal side of being an entrepreneur. I recommend this to any women that are aspiring entrepreneurs! ;)

[GOODIES] Amber Rose's New Radio Show!!

AMBER ROSE - a self proclaimed "hood rat" from south Philadelphia has come along way from being a stripper to a trend setting fashion icon now gone radio personality. I'm suire Kanye West is not happy to hear that his former girlfriend has been offered her own show on Jamie Foxx's Foxxhole radio. For those who have already heard some of her juicy tell all stories regarding her relationship with Kanye and what she's up to now I'm sure you were just as blown away as I was with what she was saying.

Is this going to be another video vixen with a tell all storybook using a new media outlet (radio)? I sure hope not! Contrary to most of my readers assumptions I actually really like this AMBER ROSE although she is known for some things that I personally do not agree with. I do admire how she took an opportunity like dating Kanye West into branding herself, genius! I did not think she would stand alone on her own two feet after the breakout with Mr. West. However, that's not to say the scandal with Fabolous and the new hubby Wiz Khalifa don't have anything to do with her sustained fame.

[GOODIES] Beestroh's Bistro: Cooking Lessons For The Modern Day Man

BEESTROH MANTECA - ATL radio personality BEESTROH MANTECA has taken it upon himself to assist his fellow man in offering a vital service for free, cooking lessons. Who knew the modern day Martha Stewart was an urban male with tattoos that contrasted against a caramel complexion. We've come a long way since the era of stepford housewives ruling the kitchen.

In the first cooking lesson BEESTROH shows us how to make collard greens (low in sodium). To be quite honest I was throughly impressed and shocked that he's do such a thing but it goes to show you that there are some men out there who know their way around the kitchen.
