2009-06-12T14:03:00.000-07:00

I love these tees and their all for a reasonable price, so you all should check those out =].

AS SEEN ON: LADY GAGA, HAIR BOW

2009-06-11T10:16:00.000-07:00

Finally! We've found it, and for an affordable price, too! The literal "hair bow" popularized by Lady Gaga has found its way onto a hair product store. Foxy Locks are selling the bow in several colors including natural ones like brown, dark brown, and black. For a mere $14.99?! Hell yeah. I did find the hair bows some where else. I cant remember where online, but they were charging around $45 - which, to me, is ridiculous - but thank goodness we found this site!

The hair bow has a "large clip" at the back to stay steady in your hair. Im not sure how that will work, but it will. I would have preferred a head band to sit under the bow, but i guess clip is good too. The website does not state how well the hair texture feels, but we'll assume its good enough.

POPPIN': KNOW1EDGE NICO BELT

2009-06-10T17:14:00.000-07:00

The Know1edge Nico Belt is just an ordinary black belt... with a branded trim zipper running to both ends of the belt! I know its nothing spectacular, but i have to say this belt is POPPIN'!

The Nico belt features lots of custom features including branded trim and a zipper that extends from one end to the other.

The belt is nothing near pricey and selling on Robust Flavor's online store for $35, which earns an approval sticker from me!

Robust always has hot gear like this for tolerable, making it one of my favorite online stores! So make sure y'all check it out frequently. Its home to many high profile brands.

AS SEEN ON:T-PAIN, BIG ASS CHAIN

2009-06-10T16:21:00.000-07:00

Recently i posted T-Pain rocking this ... Big Ass Chain... in a photoshoot with Taylor Swift. Well i have found the creators for such a piece of work! IceBox Jewelry assures that they make all their work with 100 percent bling bling diamonds, meaning we're sure they wont re-sell this custom made piece of work =\. Oh well... we can always wait for bootleg knock-offs on ebay.

IceBox Jewelry say they have six other custom made pieces for T-Pain.

HOT OR NOT?: TAYLOR SWIFT&TPAIN

2009-06-10T15:00:00.000-07:00

What do you think of country hottie Taylor Swift thugged out for a recent photoshoot with R&B superstar T-Pain? It only makes her more sexy, but i just wish the on-set stylist would have thrown some Nikes on her!

Hot or obviously NOT? I'll have to go with HOT!!!

HOT OR NOT?: RAY-BAN RB SHADES

2009-06-10T14:35:00.000-07:00

Ray-Ban holds the most popular brand of round-lens sunglasses, mostly popularized by Lady Gaga. While these are not quite the same as hers, they fit the same species of shade. Now, not everyone is too into these yet. Right now we are all rocking the big squared or the retro frames, which is all good, but i wonder when ill start seeing these babies be worn to school?

I dont know, are these HOT or are these NOT so hot? Im going with HOT!

AS SEEN ON: HILARY DUFF, DITA TARGA SHADES

2009-06-10T14:24:00.000-07:00

Hilary Duff, among other celebs, have rocked the Dita Targa Shades, sold exclusively through Dita stores and online shop. They vary in color and look very nice on both genders. Do i want a pair? Sure i do. I'll just have to pretend they do not cost more than $200.

AS SEEN ON: BEYONCE, TRIBAL PLATFORMS

2009-06-10T14:09:00.000-07:00

Besides those POPPIN' shades (which im currently on the hunt for), im in love with those heels Beyonce was working the other day. While i wasnt able to find an exact pair (that mostly none of us could afford anyway), i did find a dress for less deal! Sam Edelman's platform tribal sandals got the same idea with the heels above.

AS SEEN ON: LADY GAGA, FLAT TOP SCALE SHADES

2009-06-10T02:31:00.003-07:00

We all wanna dess like Lady Gaga to some extent! Here is Gaga rocking some Flat-top shades with a 'scale' design on the upper art of the frame. These are very flattering when worn with darker, more sophisticated colors, good for going out late at night to club, or in Gagas case, randomly snapping flicks at the papz during the late hours of the night =].

After shopping through MANY sunglasses through various stores and catalogs, id average out that these are some of the least costly shade types you can buy, especially online. The ones featured above are of the summer selections from Hottopic, selling online for $9.99, which we all know isnt bad at all.

FLAT-TOP SCALE DESIGN SHADES: HOTTOPIC, and again here.

POPPIN': NEW PRIMITVE/OAKLEY COLLAB

2009-06-10T02:12:00.000-07:00

...Encino-based Primitive work up a new collaboration alongside Oakley, utilizing the eyewear brands classic Frogskin model. The sunglasses feature a gradient colorway, fading from black to purple, midnight blue, and eventually a clear finish.

Primitive Shoes are selling these shades exclusively through their online store. These shades are finished in my favorite color, which means you can bet ill be copin' a pair.

AS SEEN ON: KANYE, GSHOCK 6900 WATCH

2009-06-10T01:48:00.000-07:00

I'll admit, im not really a watch person. They wrists watches i do own are dust covered in my drawer. However, these watches - or watches similar to this design - are all the rage in the urban celebrity fashion. The minute i saw these watches, i fell in love, particularly with this model, the GSHOCK 6900, because of its simple, retro design. Besides, those big-baller, gold watches are fug and played out.

Check out Kanye West, self proclaimed genius, sporting a GSHOCK DW6900 model in Pink by BAPE, which can be purchased at any BAPE store.

GRAND OPENING!

2009-06-10T00:29:00.000-07:00

Welcome, everyone to the grand opening of my new blog "Swaggerific!"!

So basically, all i do (when im not producing hot tracks) is search the web for new clothes and accessories that turn my swagg ON, and i feel like since i lack a life, ill use this blog to share all my ideas, links, and tutorials.

The REAL story behind this blog is simple, though. You see, i recently moved from a little city in PA where i was currently residing with my mother. It broke my heart to move from all my new friends. This is my umteenth time moving: Brooklyn -> Tampa -> Brooklyn -> PA -> Tampa. So since i refuse to make any friends here, i decided to do this!

THE SITE BREAK DOWN: Ill be posting on a daily basis (every day, every other day, every two days) sort of thing. Im always finding bangin' apparel, so its easy for me to start posting. Every few weeks ill post a "FRESHIE OF THE WEEK", which is basically, a celebrity (or someone of the nature) who i feel rocked a fly outfit and i had to share! Most Freshies will come with a tutorial or style-guide. Once i get a decent fanbase, ill do fun polls and video tutorials and other things of that nature. Along with fashion, ill have my little side blog post moments discussing anything from my music production to random site plugs. I take suggestions, tips, complaints in my email (to the right). If anyone notices something wrong, or perhaps you feel like you need to contact me about something i have posted on this blog i highly encourage you to contact me.

So with that note, id like to thank everyone in advance for checking in! My twitter link is on the side, you can follow my twitter and see what im doing and stuff. I WILL eventually make a myspace for Swaggerific when i gain a fanbase, so please, please, pleasseeee tell your friends!

much love,
BRANDON.
