Business Cards: Easy Step to Looking Professional

Posted on September 6, 2012 by freshcliniclife

I received some brand new business cards in the mail today to make it easier for me to exchange contact information when I am talking to other business people, professionals, employers, or potential customers. I can’t stress enough how important it is to have business cards in order to make yourself standout and look professional in this rough economy. It surprises me when I meet other young business people such as myself who are looking for employment and/or call themselves professionals, yet they do not have a simple business card. How do you expect to compete among the countless other Business School graduates in this country and around the world without this simple and easy to make tool. In fact, it doesn’t matter what you studied in college or what professional field you are working in, YOU NEED BUSINESS CARDS…PERIOD! So I am suggesting that if you do not have business cards, make some!

BOTC Presents: “Fashion’s Night Out”

Posted on September 5, 2012 by freshcliniclife

This Thursday, Downtown Riverside, California will be turned into ONE BIG FASHION EXTRAVAGANZA! A recently opened Boutique, BOTC (Back of the Closet) Boutique, will be hosting a Fashion event, “Fashion’s Night Out,” that is sure to please the fashionista in all of us. As a San Bernardino, CA resident, I have never heard of or seen any event like this in the Inland Empire of Southern California…NEVER! Many Boutiques and Vintage shops have come and gone through Redlands and Riverside, but with the initiative the store owners are taking to put together an event like this, it seems this boutique will stand the test of time.

There will be a RUNWAY SHOW, PERFORMANCES (K’SANDRA), DJ (DJ RUDEBOY), SHOPPING, FOOD, BAR, CELEBS, STYLISTS/DESIGNERS (MR. BRADSHAW, JESSIE J, LOR-E), THE WHOLE NINE. This event will take place at the Crescent Jewell Restaurant, 3597 Main Street, Riverside, CA 92501, running from 8PM-1AM. I’m super excited about this event, and encourage anyone who lives in the Southern California Area to attend. You won’t be disappointed. THIS IS A 21 AND OLDER EVENT!

RHU & RHO: SIBLING GODS

Posted on September 3, 2012 by freshcliniclife

So for a little over a year I have been following a designer, sister-brother duo out of Los Angeles who calls themselves RHU & RHO. They have been in the fashion game for a minute, but with the launch of their new website and products within the last few months I feel that they are finally getting the shine they deserve.

RHU (Rhuigi), the brother of the group, has recently released a pre-collection of hot street wear under his RHUDE brand. My favorite pieces from this collection are the Bandana Tee, in a black colorway, and a Virgin Mary inspired white tank. The Bandana Tee is particularly notable, and has been seen on celebrities such as Tyga, Ryan Leslie, and Kendrick Lamar. This may arguably be the best looking shirt this year, and is expected to be released in white and dark blue. You may purchase the Bandana Tee at the RHUDE website for $150 (click the shirt on the right). I got mine already, and it looks awesome!

RHO (Rhoxy), the sister-half of this super group, released a jewelry line earlier this year entitled RHOD. Her RHOD bracelets are some of the coolest accessories I’ve seen in a while, weaving a chain together with brightly colored yarn that makes for a stand-out piece. RHO will be releasing a dope necklace line soon for RHUDE that’s sure to bring the heat. Visit RHO’s website here: http://www.therhod.com/.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what RHU & RHO come up with in the future.

Here’s a lil’ throwback vid, hope yall enjoy it!

Peace Yall!

Taz Arnold: The Future of Music, Art & Fashion

Posted on July 29, 2012 by freshcliniclife

TI$A

Here is a blog post I wrote a few months ago on another blog. It was part of a class assignment, but I enjoyed every minute of it. Hope you like it!

Taz Arnold has been involved in the Hip-Hop industry for a hot minute. From his work with Dr. Dre in the late 90′s to his career as an artist on Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. music, he has strived to be the best at everything he does. This has paid off with his newest endeavor as owner of his own clothing label, TI$A. What is TI$A? Only one of the best street fashion labels on the planet! TI$A pays homage to the fashions of the 80′s and 90′s with reinterpretations of iconic figures, such as the Ralph Lauren Polo Bear and the Los Angeles Raiders logo. Taz’s line has been seen in various music videos, including Chris Brown and Tyga’s “Holla At Me,” Big Sean’s “My Last,” and Cali Swag District’s “Kickback.” Besides watching his empire grow, Taz has been putting together his new record label, TI$A records, in an effort to innovate the music industry. Unlike other record labels, TI$A records seeks to fuse music with fashion and art. In a recent interview, Taz mentions that his label’s approach to the music industry will be unconventional and try to bring back the essence of what a music label once stood for. He also mentions that his label’s music may be free, but fans would have to buy a $40 or $50 scarf or limited art print in order to receive the music. Will this new approach work? Maybe. Only time can tell us that answer, but I believe if any one makes his label successful it will be his devoted fans. Please watch the full length interview below to get a more in depth look at the man behind TI$A!!!
