The Celine Bag.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 19:18:00 +0000

Ok, so Ive been spotting the The Celine bag on all the fashion blogs lately, and I must say Im LOVING them! They look so chic, and the size of the bags are very appealing to me, since I love large bags. Just like the Hermes' Birkin, this bag has been seen on many celebrities, From Kim K, Nicole Richie and even Oprah. The Celine bag is on my list of "Things to purchase when I get rich" LOL

Ive been searching the web, and it looks like these bags can run you anywhere between $800 and $3,00 depending on the style. So, they'll cost you a nice chunk of change. Sites I've found Celine include:

Have you been feeling Rihanna's looks lately??

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 15:09:00 +0000

So, I cant go to any fashion sites without seeing Rihanna's beautiful face plastered everywhere. However, her looks lately, to me, have not been any good. IMO

I guess Im not really into the whole "90's grunge" look. I kind of miss the old classy and well put together looks Rihanna had going on a few years back. Even her hair was better back then. Now it seems that she's channeling Kelly Bundy. LOL

I still love me some Rihanna, and her gorgeous self, Im just not feeling her latest looks. Are You?

2 Cool Outfits: Color Blocking and Boho

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:26:00 +0000

This look was inspired by my "Morning at the Museum" Style Idea post. This teal maxi was thrifted about a year ago, and so was the ELLE polka dot top, and the pink blazer.

I definitely have two different styles. "Boho Chic" is one of them. I always tend to lean more towards boho, or afrocentric pieces before anything else, because its very unique and can also be creative. The off white linen blazer was thrifted, and the cute mini dress was purchased from Ross. I think this outfit would look even more amazing if I had a huge afro, but hey, Im getting there.

My favorite style of home decor is definitely Eclectic. It's whimsical, funky and there's almost always has an element in the room that is sure to be a conversation starter. Its more of my taste, because of its creative pieces, and completely unique touches.

So, apparently the French police has busted up an international crime ring that were producing FAKE Hermes Birkin bags. To top it off, some of the culprits were ACTUAL Hermes employees. Can you say ~~fired!!.~~ Someone named Taylor Armstrong from the Real Housewives of whatever was apparently busted herself for owning lots of fake Birkins. Ouch.

Anyway, only two employees have been fired so far. SMH.

I wonder how much the fake ones were selling for? *side eye*
Up to 18million euros worth.....

The ladies below, I'm sure have the real deal....

Bright and Bold Neons.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 16:35:00 +0000

Neons are literally HOT this summer. They are popping up everywhere, from the celebrities, to everyday people on the streets. Remember when you were in school and the kid that had on the bright, almost blinding neon orange shirt. Remember how he got made fun of ALL day, and was referred to as a "traffic cone". HAHA, well now its cool to look like a traffic cone!!!

The Basic T

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 20:41:00 +0000

The Basic T in my opinion is a basic closet essential for your summer wardrobe. Even in the winter and fall as well, because they go so perfect underneath a structured blazer. I myself have lots of t's that I'll throw on with anything from skinny's, maxi skirts , shorts etc. Grab you some for the summer!

Want any of these T's, click on links below

Style Idea: Meet n' Greet

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 15:13:00 +0000

I've been to one "Meet n' Greet" in my life. It was a fabulous party full of young, African American professionals mingling, exchanging business cards, and making important connections. This outfit is something similar to what I would wear to one of these functions. Its chic, classic and makes a lasting impression.

2 Cool Outfits.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 20:29:00 +0000

Both outfits are thrfited and recently added to my summer wardrobe.

I found this fun pink skirt at my Community Thrift about 6 months ago, and I paid no more than 3 bucks for it. The striped top was also thrifted, at about $4.

This "aztec" inspired dress is actually a SKIRT that I just lifted up and belted. $3 at my Community Thrift. I threw on a home made denim vest, and a hobo chic thrifted bag.

"Morning" at the Museum

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 02:11:00 +0000

Tomorrow, I'm finally going to the Orlando Museum of Art to see the "African Art of Everyday Life" Exhibit. I will be wearing a similar outfit to this one, and I will be posting pics as well as a makeup look. I think this is a great daytime look for a morning at the museum.

Art Post: Top Rap Artists depicted as Royalty.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 14:10:00 +0000

So, I ran across this on my favorite site http://fashionbombdaily.com/. I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I don't know if I like that they are depicted as royalty. Its just really weird to me. In my opinion, if any hip hop artists should be painted as royalty, it should be Rakim, maybe Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, perhaps Rev Run or Big Daddy Kane? That's just me.

The Button Up

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 22:23:00 +0000

The Button Up is a very important item in my closet. Its essential. I just love them because they add a bit of sophistication to your ensemble instantly. I have TONS of them, and I will always wear them. If you are new to the button up craze, purchase a white one and a black one to start off with. Those colors are just basics.

You Like? Brightly Colored Lips

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:02:00 +0000

I like to call them, "Magic Markered Lips" lol. They are eye catching and are really making a scene in the fashion/beauty world. I'm personally terrified to do this myself, however, I love to see it on others from Amber Rose, Keyshia Dior and models strutting the catwalk. I would imagine if you were to go to a party with bright blue lips, wouldn't you have to constantly keep re-applying to keep it looking fierce? I'm not sure, but I do like the trend (on others). I think its edgy, chic and extremely daring.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics has a line of lip tars that you could easily achieve this look with. They run you about $14 bucks and has a wide array of colors to choose from. You can find them at http://www.occmakeup.com/lips.html.

Even model Keyshia Dior has her own line of cosmetics named Ka'oir Cosmetics which features the lip glosses running you about $15. http://kaoir.com/index.php#.T9Xpw7D2bUc

This Week's Thrifted Finds

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 13:43:00 +0000

So, this week I was on the hunt for chiffon button ups and skirts. I go to my Community Thrift which is very clean, well organized and always keeps its racks stocked with great finds. The thrift stores are a great place to find inexpensive pieces, but still being able to stay on trend. Also, you could find timesless pieces and awesome vintage jewelry for low prices. This weeks finds includes:

These two chiffon button ups only cost me about 3 bucks each. I found the taupe one on my way out of the store, and I was so excited to find it!

This bright yellow blouse will be paired with many different things from slacks, to maybe even maxi skirts! Also, this cute ELLE polka dot top will go great with a pair of skinnys.

I was looking for a striped button up, and I found one for about 3 bucks! The burnt orange tunic fits me like a glove, and I will probably wear it belted.

Such a cute little mini skirt with a great pattern. Cost me about 2 bucks.

This is such an adorable maxi, it flows well and looks dreamy on me!!

Trend Alert: Collar and Necklace.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 16:25:00 +0000

So, I'm loving this one. To me, this is very classic and clean looking, not to mention extremely cute. I'm seeing it EVERYWHERE. The fashion blogs, Youtube, even on the streets. I do this often, (including today) and I always get compliments. Its a "trend" that I will be doing for a long time.

I found this amazing vintage necklace at my Community Thrift for only 5 bucks. Great Find!!!

Stuck in a decoration nightmare!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 15:56:00 +0000

I'm still in the process of decorating my new condo. I'm actually a little "stuck", which has never really happened before decorating my previous places. I'm thinking of putting a silver trimmed mirror above the fireplace, and some pillows on the couch, (layered with different patterns and textures). I love very girly and feminine decor, with bright and airy whites, creams and light mints. Also, mirror plated pieces come to mind as well. I will post my progress in near future.
