Kanye West's The Horus Chain and Pyramid Ring


Kanye always rocking the bling, gave the world a closer look of the Horus Chain and Pyramid Ring on his blog and BET awards last night. Horus was the sky god and the savior in the Egyptian culture so its interesting that Kanye would wear this along with his song Power. Each takes the form of an Egyptian motif. Personally I think the rings are dope and the chain reminds me strikingly of his Jesus piece. The question is what is this return to the motherland getting at is it simply a cool accessory or more of a statement. I guess have to wait for Mr. West to let us know.

Summer at the Romping Shop








Rompers are definitely a new trend that has definitely surfaced this summer. I used to believe the fad that they only looked good on women that are tall and slender, but new styles have emerged that any shape or taste can appreciate. Above are a few that I personally like. I'm not sure how long this trend will keep up, but I would suggest having at least one for the summer.

All Tied Up


One major trend that I have noticed resurfacing in the last few months is the wearing of the prep classic, knitted ties. These ties came to popularity in the late 70s and 80s . The perfect mixture between casual and dress these ties add a nice edge to an outfit really setting off a crisp oxford. They are available at stores like Uniqlo, Brooks Brothers, J.Crew, and more than often your local thrift store.

How to wear it: Can either wear it with a nice white oxford shirt, fitted jeans, wingtips, and Blue blazer to give a classic clean casual look or dress down a suit by the addition of one of these nifty little accessories.
