Drake and Solange does it Retro: Hot or Not?

With the expectation of what is to be an exciting couple of months...Rapper Drake's birthday party seemed to have marked the beginning of that. He celebrated his 25th birthday at TAO (Las Vegas) Saturday night. His look was something from the 90's, tinted shades and all. Well maybe Imma get flack for saying this BUT I do like the shirt. It reminds me of Versace in the 90's, when they came out with their prints and colours. Rapper Biggie had worn a gold printed one in his Hypnotize video. Drake's style of late has been nothing of that of a hip hop star - designer threads/trends,big chains and over worn diamond rings are missing....(Well Biggie did take the Bill Cosby Coogi sweater to the clubs)....Despite his styling choice...yes...the  highly-anticipated release of his sophomore album, 'Take Care' will be on November 15. Will you be listening?

Check out pics from his party below:  

Fun times I'm sure ;)

Lets talk Drake's Style: Of late he has been seen wearing a lot of cardigans and sweaters and oh he la-la loves 'em...remember the MTV video music awards where he wore that Bill-Cosbyesque cardigan?
And that's just one moment, he rocks them for late night appearances, clubs and in his recent music video 'Headlines' (watch it below)

Well I must admit I liked this vid's concept (I'm assuming) he's showing his home and roots along with the people who cared for him and who he cares for....I especially liked the idea of a dinner-sweater-wearing mob boss (does Biggie come to mind again?) ruling over mass opulence. With that said sweaters aren't really a staple of a hip hop star's wardrobe so the appreciation and elegant usage of the sweater is MAYBE another less-heralded element of his subtle yet persistent hip-hop iconoclasm. Go Sir Drake we'll be watching ;)

Solange I have always found her to be only meh....yes mehgnificent. She knows how to rock her vintage! Check out her recent look from over the weekend where she had lunch with her older sister Beyonce.

Those John Lennon inspired glasses are the business! and that leopard print coat spells 1970's boho-chic her look is so fashionably put together. She makes such a fab hipster. 

Meanwhile her sister was looking quite fashionable too....She wore an oversized blazer (one of my new fave trends) over a thigh high multicoloured dress along with a statement piece necklace. She also donned gold tinted aviators. Loving how she maintains a fashionable pregnancy style.

 
  
So what do you think.?
