The Seemingly Evasive Entrepreneurial Dream

Featured

Being an entrepreneur is hard work, and aspiring entrepreneurs know this like Jay-Z knows how to rap. If it is your dream to own your own business, the important thing to remember is to never give up.

However cliche it may sound, it is the truth. You may or may not have a full time job (in your dream entrepreneurial industry or not) and you may or may not have a house, a husband, and a child to attend to, but chances are you are one busy woman.

Either way, your dream make-your-own-schedule-don’t-answer-to-anyone-career is staring at you in the face like a mime waiting for a tip.

Time is not on your side, of course, for he disappears like a magician before anyone can mutter the word success. With wishful thinking and good intentions, we think he’ll return, but he is gone forever in the blink of an eye.

The best way to make your entrepreneurial dream come true is to devote as much time as you can, but not so much time that it makes you crazy. It’s just as important to enjoy life as it is to follow your dreams.

Key elements to realizing your success are passion, persistence, and patience; with passion being the most essential aspect.

Without passion,  you are not driven, and without persistence, you might give up.

Success does not come quickly, and if you are stressed, if you are worried, or if you are hopeless, remind yourself about how much you love your passion.

Enjoy the climb to the top and never give up.

Interesting Trina Pays Homage To Nicki Minaj

Culture, Editorial, Fashion, News

Rapper and renowned Southern sex symbol, Trina, appears to be paying homage to rapper and singer Nicki Minaj. A short video clip shows Trina rapping the lyrics to Moment For Life while dressed like Nicki Minaj. While we are still gathering details about the performance, we must admit that musically this is a refreshing thing to see especially in the world of female rappers, which is largely competitive and often-times petty. Check out the clip and tell us what you think.

It should be noted that Nicki and Trina have always appeared to have a mutual respect for one another. Which Nicki demonstrated back in 2011 when Trina was not among the nominees for best female emcee for the BET Awards. Nicki along with female rapper Diamond quickly took to Twitter, when they saw that Trina was not nominated, to express their disappointment with BET.

So maybe things are changing in the world of female emcees. Either way we thought this was a noteworthy moment to share.

Worthy Or Not? Beyonce Changes Hair Again

Culture, Editorial, Fashion, Miami Life, News

Well, the Queen ditched her super short crown for a fitting bob hairstyle- think “Me Myself and I,” according to new photos of her leaving Miami’s own Silvano restaurant on Thursday (Aug. 15).

B adorned her new look with a gold headband and blue sunnies. Rumor has it that the songstress, wife and mother is in town with her lovely B.I.C.(Blue Ivy Carter) to show support for Jay Z who is at his last stop on the Legends of Summer tour.

So what do you think? Worthy or not?

THE KNOT MEN NEED TO KNOW

20130814-020740.jpg

Style for men is often a complicated affair. The opportunity to distinguish oneself- is an unfortunate rarity in men’s fashion. In the drab sea of pin stripes and muted colors, Embellishment is often regarded as a feminine feature. “Fun” in men’s style and the ability to make personal statements in menswear is so rare that WE- as men- must seize upon creative opportunities for self expression.

Dapper men everywhere have recently rediscovered a long established but rarely used staple in mens style; The Eldredge Knot. This rare style of tying ones tie manages to make a masculine but noticeable statement. Men are once again accentuating their wardrobes, by adding this staple to their arsenals of accoutrements. The Eldredge Knot is an emerging trend that most men are reserving for spectacular and special occasions like weddings. We, however think that this knot can and should be used to shut it down at a wider variety of engagements. We’ve posted a detailed how-to- for men (courtesy of http://www.mynicetie.com, a company that enables you to purchase killer ties while making a charitable difference ) that want to distinguish themselves with a unique look that destroys the competition.

Noteworthy Show Mara Hoffman

Culture, Editorial, Fashion, Featured

 

In the hustle and bustle of the Mercedes-Benz Swim Week craze, there are few shows that are worth the long lines, disorganized guest lists and stifling heat. Mara Hoffman is one of the featured designers who delivers a high-energy, deliciously chic show every time. Hoffman’s fans who lined up outside of the Raleigh were not disappointed this year. Psychedelic classic pieces sashayed down the runway and played perfectly off the ornate  L-Atititude accessories that completed the signature Mara Hoffman aesthetic. Classic label essentials converged on the runway at the Hoffman swim show with shoes provided by Michael Antonio, nails by LVX, make-up by Lori Taylor for Smashbox and hair by Nick Irwin for Catwalk by Tigi. The stylist for the evening was Richard Ruiz and we must say we approved of the wonderfully bohemian chic look that was presented.

Check out the pictures from the show.
