The Cosby Connection

 

Now, before you get nervous, I'm not going to recommend that you run out and buy Coogi sweaters or prepare for any ugly sweater parties or anything. I'm encouraging you to follow Bill Cosby's trailblazing ways and indulge in patterned knit wear. We have a month left of winter, why not have some fun? Here are some Cosby inspired sweaters that'll make you feel like you're in a different world. Too cliché? Whatever. *eats J-ELLO pudding*

Hats Off To You!

A perfect transition piece and an upcoming trend for Spring 2010 is hats! Straw hats and fedoras being top of the list. You can ditch the beanies and crochet knit hats that you've been hiding under on bad hair days and put on a hat to spice up your outfits this spring, and of course, they're still really good for those bad hair days.

Truly Tribal

Today, photos were released from the video shoot of Alicia Keys' new single, "Put It In A Love Song" which features Beyonce. The video is being shot on location is Brazil and it's clear from the pictures that the video will have a tribal feel to it. Seeing Alicia Keys in this Boxing Kitten outfit, let me know that tribal and ethnic prints will still be big for spring!

Boxing Kitten was founded by Maya Lake who took her inspiration for the collection from Josephine Baker and her mother. Her designs have been worn by Solange, Erykah Badu, and Christina Milian. Alicia is featured wearing the Althea Skirt, I can't wait to see what else they'll be wearing in the vide!

If you can't afford to get your hands on any of Boxing Kitten's fabulous clothes, here are my picks of how you can rock the big and bold tribal trend this spring for less.
