OMF(ashion)G - Color Blocking Trend

This spring and summer you will not go wrong with BRIGHT colors. From 80's neon green to rich coral, you will be able to find plenty of examples gracing the runways and streets. If you're not a huge color person, like myself, I suggest sticking with just one loud color and letting it be incorporated throughout your outfit. Why not try mixing a electric blue blouse and shoe, with a charcoal trouser or skirt? If you love color, well great!!! This trend is especially perfect for you. However do not overdo it! Limit your look to no more than three bright, bold colors, to prevent yourself from looking like a walking rainbow!!!

OMF(ashion)G - Gwen's New Line: Harajuku Mini For Target

We all have loved Gwen Stefani since she sang with No doubt, serenading us with tales of spider webs, and pink ribbons. Not only did she captivate us with her vocal chords, but also her charisma and cutting-edge fashion sense. Therefore, it was no surprise in 2004 when she launched L.A.M.B, following it up in 2005 with Harajuku Lovers, because this gorgeous dame was born with a sense of style. Over the years the brands have expanded and dominated, but in reality who wants to throw down thirty dollars on a key chain?

Well now the Gwen has made her creations into mini, much more cost-friendly clothing; since she is to release a line at Target on November 13th for the little people in our lives. The line will focus on babies, children, and tweens, but we can sure hope her break into Target will not end there, and we will get full sized love from Gavin’s lady, mother of two, soon! As a mama myself I am elated, because it never hurts to have another excuse to blow my money at Target...

OM(usic)FG - Against Me!

Last Sunday night I had the opportunity to go see Against Me! the rough around the edges punk-rock band play at the Masquerade here in Atlanta. Yet no matter how thrilling Against Me! is the real treat was their opener Fences. Fences is singer Christopher Mansfield of Seattle, with his melancholy melodies, and guitar strumming, accompanied by a three piece band. These guys are re-inspiring the grunge city as well as showing the rest of the country that the music scene is certainly not dead in the northwest. I highly recommend their self titled CD co-recorded by Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara, this in depth interview, and these videos.

(Check out this video of them from GIVESEATLE.ORG, of course I'm a sucker for the Victorian-style setting, stand up bass, and bango, but this song is incredible as well, on the record Sara Quin sings.)

OM(usic)FG - 8 Yr. Old From ATL Goes Viral

This 8 year old rap sensation, from Atlanta, GA (Gwinett Co), is being compared to Justin Bieber. But he will have you know he went to the extent of cutting his hair, in the efforts to not be related to the BieberFever. This kid has created his own kind of fever on YouTube with over 4 million hits on all his videos. His cousin can be credited for helping him shooting the music videos that were even featured on FOX5 NEWS this evening, but MattyB is the lyricist for all his raps. He takes familiar songs, and adds his own spin and rap to them, to make them MattyB style. This young rapper has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Ryan Seacrest and Perez Hilton, but he has no plans currently for touring or making albums. Right now he is completely content just blowing up YouTube!
