I've been meaning to do a style post on Monae ever since I first saw her on the cover of Creative Loafing over a year ago. She's an Atlanta-based singer who's made it big time - her debut album coming out next month was produced by Big Boi and she's featured in the August Vogue. It almost seems unfair that a 23-year old could be so talented and so stylish. She's got this great rockabilly/Motown vibe that comes off as incredibly modern. See for yourself: www.jmonae.com.

Wow,ov le her style, it's so funky and edgy. Thanks for sharing this!
She's so hardcore retro! Her style is very cool.
I completely agree. I first noticed her because we share the same name "Monae" well it's my middle name...but anyway, I love her shoes in the first pic. I know my mom used to have a pair...hmmm.
Nice spot too! I'll be checking back often. =]
Ooooo..I love her. Exactly how I would love to dress if I stopped being so lazy/busy. lol.

FAB pics!
im back from turkey- been real nice!
how has your recent week been!?
I've seen her picture lately in several magazines. She has a cool, fairly unusual style that really works for her. I'm interested in hearing her music. I bet I would like it!
Woohoo, great choice! I love Janelle Monae! Her music is amazing and she has a totally cool, unique style! She kinda reminds me of Grace Jones the way she just does her own thing. Janelle seems nicer and not as creepy though...
She actually had a live in-store just the other day in my neighborhood. I should've gone.
I cant describe it, but she's something else!
funky style but its her own.
we had her on our cover about a year ago (southeast performer) - seeing her do so amazingly well makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! and she's the sweetest person too, just amazing. pretty much the coolest person in the world right now.
Ok, her style is totally awesome!
Oooooo, Buster Browns!! I forgot about those. I used to wear them when I was in elementary school. I wonder if I can still get them in my size... hahaha
Now I feel stupid for not linking this article when I wrote about her. She's just so...amazing.
