How NOT to wear an American Apparel Micro Mesh dress

2009-12-28T12:25:57-05:00

I'm surprised I havnt seen this foolishness earlier. This chick is a poster child on the correct way to ruin a great piece. Panty lines are never acceptable, especially to this magnitude. She didn't even put any effort into it...just threw the dress on and out the door. This piece is meant to be layered. I just want to grab her and give her a hug...po thang.

This lookbook.nu fashionista shows us the more layering the better. With this dress as your base piece you can extend summer dresses way into the winter months.

I even love it with high waisted bottoms underneath. Just PLEASE no regular panties!

Christmas Nails...Candy Cane Inspired

2009-12-24T16:34:34-05:00

Happy Holidays Ladies!

Ill be MIA tomorrow with a day filled of Xmas shenannigans with the family. I literally finished shopping at 3:30 this afternoon and now am about to run to my mom's to make cookies and brownies with my son, brother and sister. These are my nails for Xmas and I was inspired by candy canes. The red base is Essie Poor Little Rich Girl and the black base is Orly Black Vinyl. I used Art Club design polishes to create the stripes. Merry Christmas!

Naomi...is a Lady by Giampaolo Sgura

2009-12-23T10:47:22-05:00

Here's a snippet of a recent photoshoot of Naomi Campbell by photographer Giampaolo Sgura for Hercules Magazine.

Tell me this chick doesn't look like she's in her 20's? Whatever she's eating I need me some cause Naomi Campbell does not age! I remember being around 8 or so and cutting out pics of Naomi and taping them on my wall. I sooo wanted to be like her when I grew up (I'm getting there!).

Today's Look...Goodwill Ballerina

2009-12-22T12:05:24-05:00

Camera's still lost...These webcam collages are starting to grow on me though.

This look is from Friday night. I had a Christmas party at my (which was ruined by a major snowstorm but thats a whole other story).

And behind me is my new commercial garment rack I purchased from Goodwill for $20 - my 15% student discount (shhhh I used my old undergrad ID since I dont have one for my current school yet). The sweater is thrifted also and as soon as I saw it I know I wanted to pair it with my pink H&M ballerina skirt.

Oh Mickey You So Fine...You So Fine You Blow My Mind

2009-12-21T11:04:52-05:00

I believe I stopped wearing Disney characters sometime around the 5th grade. For some strange reason they're making a come back in an odd and sexy way. Mickey in particular. First Chanel Iman with her Vogue spread now Rihanna wants to lead an army donning a "not so hard" Mickey helmet. Maybe I should've held onto my Mickey Mouse watch cirst 1997. If you wanna get yourself decked out in your favorite childhood persona don't forget youre red lipstick!

Yooo! I heard this song before and didn't know Robin Thicke sang it with Nicki Minaj. I'm even more convinced he got some black in him. Catch him acting like he smacking the booty lol.

Today's Look...Heavy Metal Collage

2009-12-14T23:53:20-05:00

After losing the charger and purchasing a new one I promptly misplaced my camera. *rolls eyes*. I just keep out doing myself. So without my camera I had to take pics with my webcam. The only place with good lighting was my bathroom doorway. Basically I had to set it to burst then run in front of it and pose real quick. I tried to get an assortment of poses to capture the whole look. I looked like a madwoman but it got the job done.

I was invited by an old *friend* to accompany him to a birthday party. Havnt seen him in a long time and this was the outfit for the night. It was 27 degrees out and I tried to keep it sexy while not freezing my ass off.

Most also note once I got cute, beat my face, and left the house smelling good I couldn't find the location and drove around Philly lost for an hour. I've now implemented a new rule of not meeting my dates on site if I don't know exactly where it is. smh. Not having a good week.
