House of Dereon Spring 2012

2012-02-25T09:08:00.000-08:00

As you know, I love love LOVE Beyonce. However I'm not one of those stans who think everything she touches is gold. With that being said, I have never EVER purchased anything from her House of Dereon collection. It's not that I have never found anything cute in her fashion line, I was just never interested in it enough to purchase. Plus, I'm not paying $100+ for something that I can find at Forever 21 #justsaying.

Anyways, Beyonce and her mother Tina Knowles recently released their House of Dereon lookbook for Spring 2012. I must admit some of the looks are really cute and wearable for spring. The prices haven't been released yet so I'm not sure if I'll be running to pick something up just yet.

Check out some of the looks from the House of Dereon's latest collection. Love it or Hate it?

Willow Smith Goes Blonde

2012-02-25T08:19:00.000-08:00

I've blogged about little Willow Smith in the past, back when whipping your hair back and forth was all of the rave. Now, little Ms. Smith doesn't have too much hair to whip. She recently went all Amber Rose on us and decided no hair was the way to go.

I sometimes forget this girl is only 11 years old. I love that her parents allow her to be free spirited but I question, have they allowed her to go too far? I don't know about you but, but I wasn't allowed to dye my hair until I was in college (my mom wasn't having that).

What do you think of Willow's new bold haircut? Love it or hate it?

"Turn Up The Music" Video

2012-02-17T07:02:00.000-08:00

Whether you love him or hate him, there is one thing you can't deny... Chris Brown can dance!

Check out his recently released video for "Turn Up The Music"! Makes me want to take a dance class or something, because I desperately need to get my moves together.

Let me now what you think of his new video. Love it or hate it?

P.S. Everyone is talking about Chris Brown being featured on Rihanna's remix for "Birthday Cake". Even though I don't think a collaboration is necessary for the two past lovers, I still can't wait to hear it! The single is supposed to be released Monday, February 20th.

I Thank God For 2011

2012-01-05T18:00:00.000-08:00

I should have said goodbye to 2011 a few days ago, but life happens and I haven't had the opportunity to sit down and blog like I would have liked too.

#late

Anyways, as I sit here, I'm reflecting on all that God has done for me thus far. It's easy to point out the negative in life, but when you really take the moment and think about who you are and what you have, you'll be thankful.

The year 2011 felt almost like the beginning for me. I graduated from Boston University May 2011 with the world at my disposal. I can honestly say that was one of my proudest moments.

I left Boston and began life.
