C.O.C.A Style Trend: Men's Riding Boots

Here are a few examples of Ralph Lauren's Fall 2008 and Spring 2008 collection showing one of the latest trends in men footwear - The Riding Boot. This trend has been trying to blossom for quite some time, but I really believe the "NO HOMO" term has caused it to wither amongst the urbanites ... too bad because the true style kings such as Andre 3 Stacks, Big Boi and Lupe have been superb examples of how to style this delicate trend with a masculine flair.

What do you think ... pure hauteness or a hot mess???

H&M'S NEW VIRTUAL SITE

If you're a connoisseur of H&M (or HIMS, as my girls and I call it) like myself, then I'm sure you'll be excited to know they finally did something with their website ... whew! This new site features a virtual fashion show, fall look books, campaign images, Top 5 trends, H&M Fashion TV and advice from their stylist - which is great for us fashion journalist! It's definitely worth the visit, so make sure you stop by the site before you shop at the store.

I love these patent leather bags @ H&M

H&M are most popular for its fall sweaters and jackets

WHAT THE F%@K IS COCA?

C.O.C.A = COAT OF CHICAGO ARMS
(Noun or Verb) The origin of the “slang terminology” turned out as a high form of compliment during the original '80’s Baby' era to describe someone’s sense of style or profound taste in music, whips, cribs, a guy/chick or an event … now that’s C.O.C.A!

WE BELONG TO …

Coat Of Chicago Arms belongs to an echelon group of preciseness. This group: Strives for Unity, which provides Strength, seek New Beginnings within self and other beings, Make continuous progress and choose to be Educated. They believe and act upon taking a stand for the betterment of the Community and most importantly they’re Stylish without question or as The Chairman of the Board chooses to say … ALWAYS KEEP YOUR STYLE C.O.C.A.!

C.O.C.A STANDS ON …

I. Unity/Strength: Unity provides strength, and without it we're doomed to fail.
II. New Beginnings: We should never be stagnant. We must strive for ‘New Beginnings’ to take us towards new heights.
III. Make Progress: It’s said that “Without struggle there is no progress.” We all have our fair share of struggles in life; however, we must not quit or lose sight of our goals. We must continue to make progress.
IV. Education: Acquiring Knowledge in our field is the first step towards providing the Power we need to succeed in everything we strive to do and build.
V. Community: We are ‘Ambassadors of our Community.’ We must uphold the values that speak loud and clear to our dedication to keep our community strong and valued. We must begin in our living rooms to transcend to a community with strong moral values.
VI. STYLE: To be stylish is simple; NEVER FOLLOW TRENDS because trends fade. TRUE style is an expression of Individualism with a dose of Charisma. To be stylish equates TRUTH-2-SELF.

Just make sure its C.O.C.A!
