Details: Just in time for the holidays, finally! It’s been years (I’m being dramatic) for this video to be released, and it’s here. Now as “Party” seems to be a fan favorite, I’m sure you all can relate to the videos treatment; house party. Oh stop being bougee, I think trailer parks are the new gated homes. Everyone at the LateBoots office scrambled in front of their desk to enjoy it. And we did. I love the homemaker Houston, Texas baby Bey. The video features J.Cole, Solange, Kelly Rowland, Shaun Ross, Coco & Breezy and alot of the NYC party culture–most of them I know, (you’ve seen them on here). Have fun with it!
Oh, a Kanye West cameo would have been like Thanksgiving in October.

Watching us do our thing may be harmful to your eyes. We will turn Mississippi into Paris, transform Houston into London Town. We are The Young & the Restless who have grand thoughts and wealthy educations. SpelHouse has arrived at last, and it gives off a gilded glare. Morehouse and Spelman College‘s Homecoming Week ’11 #style, #decadence. Homecoming is always an exciting time for any college, university and its surrounding community. The annual alumni party Black Love was attended by all things embossed last Friday–at the Grand Atrium at 200 Peachtree; Atlanta’s most elegant and historic venue featuring soaring 30’ ceilings, 14’ chandeliers, and Corinthian columns–I may be obsessed with king-size lives. –>Inside Story
Kisses in the dark; what goes on in the shallow mind of Phifer. Waking up to me is like a dream–I’m only 5’7 but I’m tall like Air Jordan. All I know is you can’t tell this face no–long as I come home. Yes that’s me talking to your girlfriend–as per usual, Friday nights down in the A-shawty should always be #COOL with my mans Wil May; which is a weekly series every Friday at the W Hotel –the crowd is a diverse group of cool kids, banker-lawyer types, artsy smartsies, and ATL movers & shakers–who are digitally savvy, visually conscious, and hungry for progressive, high energy music.
Pay-per-view my nights?–I spent it with singer Graham Knox (R side), click to follow her on Twitter | Official Site. You should think twice about spending your nights with me–catch a cab, or take a bus to Whiskey Park when you get that text message from me–how you hard to be reached.

Smile for the camera–I’m talking to the Homecoming kids in the classroom right now; make no mistake I blog for the educated college public–this is the best of School Daze. We are bringing gentrification back–image with feathery hair, skin like–clothes like–and a degree like oh he’s educated too? Me and you–your momma and your cousin too was at Clark Atlanta University Tailgate during the schools Homecoming Week. Shoutout to Briana Marie (graduate of Clark Atlanta University) and Ray Cunningham.
In the words of Uncle Jay “If you escaped what I’ve escaped you’d be in Paris getting fu**ed up too,”–so this shouldn’t come as shocking news: Kanye West is LateBoots Front Page News. And for those who are light travelers grab some wine and chocolates as West entertains your fashion palette–but not by ear this time–by sight. By all means he has seen and lived; you are now watching the long-awaited, wildly hyped Kanye West fashion show–all the showroom kids knew October 1st as the date in which Kanye would be debuting his women’s collection ‘Kanye West‘–Who Run The World? (Girls)–I do adore–something tells me that was the vibe of this ‘boy don’t even try to touch this‘ runway show–Who Gon Stop Me?
‘Kanye West ‘DW collection evokes “luxe lives”–each look becomes its own storyteller. These clothes are made for Rollses and Maybachs and Gulfstream jets, five-star hotels and Audemars Piguet watches. –>Inside Story
The name alone gives you a clue as to what you might find on the menu–this is definitely a Latino place; you can find meals from Caribbean, Latin America, and Spain all in one place. Me, I rather fly to all of the destinations previously mentioned–as I am often confused as being Eladio I discovered La Fonda Latina while attempting to waste time during a class or two; go to whatever restaurant in the area that happened to be in a Big Wheel’s reach. Consider this a connoisseur move for a cheap Mexican-style restaurant. That being said, I was happy to partake in a bean and rice combo, my lunch guest indulged in a quesadilla combination. With everything on the menu being simple, decently priced–the best companion for students of higher learning, and flavorful–so grab you–you–you–and your whole crew and get sloshed on all this culture that is mistakenly taken as mine!

Looking like Clueless 2012! There is one thing that I value; conservatism, and J.Crew Spring 2012 delivers that and does it in COLOR!

Check one: I am dying at this Women’s collection. And with my whole being I support the creative minds behind these garments, and it is a must that it becomes available in Men’s sizes too!
