style icon: janelle monae

Style Icon Janelle Monae isn't afraid to be different and stand out in the crowd. With her Masculine Meets Feminine style, she isn't timid to push the boundaries with menswear. From her frilly dress shirts to her perfectly altered clean-cut dress pants, her Rockabilly style is one that gets noticed!

don't you think she and Bruno Mars would be a match made in heaven?

i do.

malak.ni bowties

my friend angel is one of the most stylish people i know! she is so creative with her outfits and is bold enough to wear menswear. not only does she have a style all her own, but she translates it into her very own bowtie line malak.ni.

her fall/winter collection transformation was so impressive! my favorites were her reversible bowties and her asymmetrical neckties.
