Last week this clothing brand hit me up on twitter saying that I’ll love Dangerously Beautiful, so I went to check them out on their site. And they were right I do love them and their tees are exactly my style. I just fell in love with them because their clothing is very chic, edgy, and bold. Now that my birthday is in 2 more day I think I’ll add some Dangerously Beautiful to my birthday present wish list.

You may ask What is Dangerously Beautiful?

A freethinking woman scares the status quo.

Dangerously Beautiful is a fashion and lifestyle brand created to represent and symbolize female empowerment. Launched in 2008 from its home base of Miami, FL, each season sees Dangerously Beautiful convey inspiration from the duality of femininity through iconic imagery and wordplay amongst a range of fashion apparel.

A Dangerously Beautiful woman is beautiful to a dangerous extent, yet enticing nonetheless. In a world where media bombards women with impossible Barbie-like-ideals and magazine covers covet women who define themselves by men, the Dangerously Beautiful ethic aims to infuse independence, esteem, and style. The Dangerously Beautiful woman can be found all over the globe, but these universals remain: She is self-defined, her fashion game is vicious; her attitude is malicious but delicious.

This brand is pretty hot you can find their clothing on shops like PLNDR and Karmaloop. Here is a couple of T-shirts they have down below but you can check out more at their website. Do you like Dangerously Beautiful as much as I do? Well check them out and Shop HERE

Did anybody else catch the owner of OBEY clothing, Shepard Fairey, on the Kony video? Shepard’s line is known for being involved in raising money for different types of charities/events, but it still caught me by surprise to see him featured on the film. It’s really nice to see clothing lines I Love to rock get involved with events like this. I really hope that the OBEY brand comes out with a T-shirt; I would buy 5! I am really excited about this cause.

If you don’t know what the “Kony” video is yet, I must first ask you– have you been hiding under a rock? This video went viral 24 hours after being posted. It’s all over Tumblr & Facebook, and it’s getting kind of crazy. But that’s great! The more reblogging and sharing the better. If you still haven’t experienced the life changing message, I advise you to take a few minutes to watch it. I don’t want to give out too much information; it’s one of those things you just got to see for yourself. Check it out:

Malaysian, singer, songwriter Yuna music has caught my attention. I recently heard her single “Live Your Life” and I instantly went to download the track. It says, “Find your light; don’t hide from what you are… and hope for something more”. The whole song goes on with more inspirational words about dreaming and reaching your goals. It is always nice to have songs on your tracklist to bring a lil’ pep to your day; inspiration is always needed.

Russle Simmons has even took notice to the rising star, “an amazing new singer…her music is incredible” when she released her self-titled EP in 2008. Her talent can’t be denied, and that VOICE *shakes head with approval*. I’m just mad that I haven’t heard of her music sooner! She came out like four years ago and I am just hearing about her … I’m a little late. Any older Yuna fans out there?

Yarminiah and Yaminah Rosa are the owners of the line P U R P O S E, accessories that are made out of materials that you wouln’t even believe! Like– Matchsticks, Rose petals, orange peels, and other materials that you wouldn’t find put together at your local Claire’s. The best part about it is the pieces are super cute and it gives you a ‘saving the world’ type of feeling since they are made out of re-purpose material.

How did they come up with this AMAZING idea you ask? Weeelll, according to their website Yaminiah and Yaminah were hanging out in a mini cottage in little Haiti when they started playing around with the idea of making earrings out of dried mango they had laying around. Then Wahhlahh! They fell in Love with making jewelery out of material like such. Now, they look at magazines to see what’s hot and now, look around for pieces, and add it to their Website.

Check out a few pieces from P U R P O S E ‘s Spring 2011 collection. You would never guess what they are made out of. caution cone, egg carton, rose petals, tennis ball fur, orange peel, champagne foil. There pieces are limited edition, so if you want a certain piece you need to snag it fast! Wearing the P U R P O S E line you will never be caught wearing the same jewelery as another person for sure.

“Purpose is the will and dedication to make everyday meaningful.”

“PAINT THE WORLD WITH VISUAL LANGUAGE…”

If you aren’t hip to Tt the Artist by now you need to keep reading this post because your missing out! Tedra Wilson (Tt the artist) has done some pretty impressive things thus far. Graduating from The Maryland Institute College Of Art she landed an internship at MTV Networks her Junior year of college! How sweet is that? That’s not all, she also has held down the women at “Show Me What You Got” and “Queen Of The Mic” rap competitions. Tt can definitely be described as multi-talented.

If you look at her name you can get a pretty good picture of what she is all about… ART. I am not just talking about drawing (though she does that too), I am talking about rapping, singing, filming, and designing. The chick does it all! She is representing our generation very well;  check out what Tt has been working on:

MUSIC

Tt the Artist has performed with some big names during her career. Some of these names are Oj Da Juice Man, Rich Boy, Cali Swag District, Trina, Teyana Taylor, Yo Gotti, Wale, and Lyfe Jennings.

Tt’s music will have your hands high, heads bobbin’, and hips shaking while you’re partying. She is definitely in her own lane, nothing mainstream, just the way we like it. You may not hear her on your local radio station, but you can definitely catch her tracks being played around Baltimore city’s club scene. Trust me when I say her music is hot! But you don’t have to take my word for it—Check it out yourself.

“As an artist ,Tt looks forward to establishing a place in the music industry. she aims to offer social commentary on the challenges of a female artist through her art. She hopes to someday fulfill her responsibility as an artist by reaching out and making a difference in the through all media outlets.”

ART

Tt’s  specialties in artwork are hand drawn mix-media and computer graphics. She also does a lot of work in video; such as, documentaries, music videos and directing. If that isn’t enough, Tt the Artist also puts her artistic skills to the test through her T-shirt line called CreativeMindXCULTURE (CMXC). Ladies, you should really consider picking up her “Women Power” or “Artist” T’s; they retail at $20.00.

She also gives back! Tt runs her own creative orgainization called ARTISTLAND. This organization provides resources and services for creatives.

Her artwork is just as sick as her music. I put together a few of her pieces, but if you want to view more you can check it out Here.
