"I want to make the extraordinary, ordinary."
-Jay Z

Leave it to Jay Z to launch a fabulous lifestyle blog and barely take credit for it. "Life + Times" launched this week and Hov has barely publicized it or admitted to it even being his. No launch party or even a press release... And you know what? It's not necessary... He doesn't have to promote it. He's Hov and that's all there is to it. People will seek him out and find it. And they will be thoroughly impressed...It's already one of my favorite sites. He never fails to impress me... Former street hustler to rapper, business man, entrepreneur, author, nightclub owner, all around mogul and now...blogger. can you say renaissance man?!

Fun Facts About The Color Black:

A black cat crossing your path is
considered bad luck in many cultures, except in England, where spotting a black
cat is considered good luck.

The color black is associated with
sophistication and power... tuxedos, limousines, judge's robes, and priest's
attire are all typically black.

The color black is so widely regarded as
sophisticated in fashion that the term "the new black" is often used to describe
and give merit to a color trend.

In the west, black is the color of
mourning but the custom of wearing unadorned black clothing for mourning dates
back at least to the Roman Empire, when the Toga pulla made of dark-colored wool
was worn during periods of mourning.

One old wives' tale claims that if
a woman is buried wearing the color black, she'll come back to haunt the family.

Originally this was simply going to be a post about the uber sexy Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Comte Noir edition, but as I researched it I realized it was beyond being just a car. This ride is a state of mind... A lifestyle. And certain accoutrements are mandatory. Let me tell you what you need...


I'll start by introducing you to the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Comte Noir:

German tuning house Graf Weckerle took the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and gave it a suspension upgrade, boosted its horsepower from 620 to 835 and...wait for it...put titanium and aluminum wheels in a fleur-de-lis pattern on it to create the "Comte Noir" edition. Yeah...I said fleur-de-lis wheels. This machine is beyond sexy...

Like I said...You can't stop at the car. You'll also need:

The Burberry Studded Leather Knight Bag:

Nicholas Kirkwood Lace Panel Ankle Boot:

The Noir Cat Woman Claw Ring (on every finger!!) In Gunmetal:

Amalia Mattaor "Dancing Bag":

Balmain Leather Pants:

Black Diamond Hoop Earrings:

Chantecaille Le Stylo Liquid Eyeliner Pen in Black:

Tom Ford "Jennifer" Sunglasses (classic...):

Jennifer Behr Spiked Turban Headband:

And of course...

The American Express Black Card:

Like I said... It's a lifestyle. As Hov said... "Black cards, blacks cars, all black everything..."

~Man Of Style: Jay Z -Fellas...This Is How It's Done.~

"I used to duck shots but now I eat quail, I'll probably never see jail..." -Jay Z

My favorite "Man Of Style" Mr. Shawn "Jay Z" Carter performed at an all-star concert in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve and once again proved he is in fact the man of style I proclaim him to be. Hov, joined on stage at one point by his equally stylish wife Beyonce, rocked a classic tuxedo and looked ridiculously dignified. He made that tux look classic and trendy at the same time... Perfection. Fellas...take notes because there is nothing sexier than a man wearing a tuxedo and wearing it well.

The other day I wrote a post about Nike's World Basketball Festival and the 5 pairs of limited edition Air Force 1's they were releasing to promote the event. Each borough of NYC was paid homage in the form of a AF1. Given my immense love for both NYC and AF1's I was excited to write ~I'm Just Gonna Do It...5 Times~ What I'm about to tell you about now has me beyond excited... I literally feel dirty.

Mr.Shawn Carter, an impeccable man of style, has once again lent his midas touch... He's about to turn a pair of kicks into great fortune for people in need seeking an education. I love this man...

The first night of the World Basketball Festival (Thursday Aug 12th) included not only a preview of the USA Basketball team for 2010 but also a performance from Hov himself. Good Christ, sneakers, athletes, music and HOV?! I would have had a pleasure induced aneurysm... Again, I feel dirty.

I'm sure his performance was beyond stellar but his real contribution began in the morning as a auction kicked off on ebAy. The goods? 5 pairs of limited edition Nike/Hov AF1's christened "All Black Everything", each pair representing one of the 5 countries participating in the event. France, Brazil, Puerto Rico, USA and China to be exact. Each pair is...you guessed it...all black. However that doesn't mean they are all the same, each pair is unique and made from a different material.

ALL of the proceeds go to The Shawn Carter Foundation, a very very good cause...higher education.

And you guessed it... I want all 5.

China:

France:

Brazil:

Puerto Rico:

The bidding started Thursday morning and will conclude Sunday night. Bid on "All Black Everything" HERE
