Kyndafly Fashion Alert!! Arm Candy Is So Sweet

Ladies as you shop for all of your fashion must-haves, remember to stock up on plenty of wrist wear pieces. A trend we have spotted as of late and one that we happen to be totally in favor of is sporting a nice supply of fabulous Arm Candy. The more bangles, cuffs, leather wraps you can pile on with your favorite watch, the better. Trust us! This is a trend we beg you to take part in.

It’s great because you have so many options at your disposal. You can choose to wear multiple shades of the same color, stick with the classic combination of silver and gold, or go with single-hued pieces. The ability to mix different styles of bracelets exists as well, as you can see the possibilities are endless.

Ultimately the choice is yours and how you think your Arm Candy will best compliment your overall look. So, do yourselves a favor and check out my attempt for inspiration. For some other ideas on how to rock your Arm Candy, check out these Twitter accounts: @PopOfChic and @Frill_Boutique.

Please share your Arm Candy efforts, @kyndafly!

Chicks In Kicks - We Love Em Too!

I love shoes. That’s not really surprising, given that I’m a woman. Everyone knows that women tend to have a thing for shoes. And my Kyndafly cohort, Ms. Renee also loves shoes, again, probably not brand new information. But when we say we love shoes, we’re equal opportunity shoe lovers. We covet the sexiest of stilettos just as much as we covet the freshest pair of sneakers, and that is NOT something every woman can say.

I have always loved sneakers too. I can remember being in the third grade getting this pair of Reebok’s that I really liked or when I had to have a fresh pair of white gym shoes for the summer somewhere around seventh grade. Then there were my prized purple and white L.A. Gear’s and the Fila’s too. And I also remember having this super cute pair of suede brown ankle boots in the sixth grade, so yeah, I’ve pretty much always been into fashion and shoes.

A part of where Kyndafly comes from is our love of fashion, but also our love of all types of fashion, including all types of shoes. Our friendship has included just as many shopping trips hunting down the perfect pair of pumps as it has searching for the most unique pair of sneakers we could find.

To us, being Kyndafly means, being confident no matter what you are wearing. So don’t be surprised if you catch us out in a sexy dress with our legs out in a fierce pair of heels or more casual on our “regular girl” steeze in some skinny jeans, a tank and a dope pair of Jordan’s.

Sometimes a sneaker is the better option, and thankfully we have a decent selection to choose from. And ladies, trust us, there are some great guys that appreciate, “Chicks In Kicks” like us. Regularly, KicksOnFire.com(@kicksonfire) kicks (no pun intended) off a #ChicksInKicks Twitter topic. Lots of ladies submit pictures of themselves in their favorite sneakers, and it was great to see other chicks that love sneakers as much as we do!

Frank Ocean's Bi - Why We Shouldn't Care

Frank Ocean is a dope artist. And before he came out as bisexual I bet you thought the same thing as you rocked out to Nostalgia/Ultra, his first official mixtape. I mean who didn’t love “Novacane” last summer. “I met her at Coachella…but girl I can’t feel my face, what are we smoking anyway, she said don’t let the high go to waste”, the song has a great beat and tells a story. We loved it. And we shouldn’t feel any different towards him as an artist, a creator of great music, who happens to prefer both men and women.

While his lifestyle may not be the preference of the masses, it has nothing to do with the quality of music he makes and it’s really none of our business. I think all the discourse about sexuality is a sincere case of everyone being way too concerned about other people’s personal business.

It’s 2012, and we are aware of people having different sexual orientations. Therefore we should be able to accept a person for who they are and not whom they date. I have no doubt that Frank Ocean will continue to make great music. I just hope that people use this as an opportunity to explore being more open-minded and appreciate others for being themselves.

Because in reality, it makes no sense to be so concerned about what someone else is doing privately, especially if it doesn’t concern you. And now I will patiently await the release of Channel Orange and I hope you do the same.

Mike Tyson: The Undisputed Truth

When you think of Mike Tyson, I’m guessing the word “thespian” doesn’t come to mind. But that is exactly the new title he will be adding to his resume. Inspired by the play, “A Bronx Tale”, Mike will be making his Broadway debut with his one-man show “Mike Tyson: The Undisputed Truth”. 

And with his recent cameos in The Hangover movies, it’s easy to assume this play is based in comedy, yet it is far from that. Iron Mike will be sharing the most personal of stories, baring his emotions to the world, and you have to respect him for it.

It’s always so easy to brush off athletes for being more brawn than brain, for being more physically gifted than academically gifted. And Mike Tyson has been ridiculed for that and more throughout his impressive boxing career. But, in just watching his interview on the “Today Show”, I became both impressed with his honesty and intrigued by the show itself.

With Spike Lee (director of his show) by his side, Mike talked of his volatile past and what finally made him choose to live a healthier lifestyle. He comes off as a man that is both humble and genuine in discussing the life he has led. He’s also brutally honest, a little too honest for morning TV as he was often steered in another direction during the interview.

It’s his honesty in that interview that perfectly sets up the premise for his show. A one-man show, where Mike Tyson will divulge his darkest secrets in front of a live audience, how is that NOT something you want to see? No topic is off limits, as Tyson will discuss being in prison, drugs, prostitutes, and the rest of the debauchery in which he has engaged. The show debuts on July 31, if you can, check it out.
