MissRichTv: Road Trip: Best Philly Cheesesteak??

2015-10-01T20:05:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, so I took an "End of the Summer Road Trip" to Philadelphia.... My friends and I went to feed our belly's with authentic Philly Cheesesteaks but we also fed our minds by attending the Independence National Historical Park. Theres always time for education. The Park was filled with historical events. Showcasing our founding fathers presidential home, and a tribute wall to those enslaved.

After that, It was time for the best (what we thought was the best) Philly Cheesesteaks over at Geno's Steaks. Very popular tourist spot. After being flipped-the-bird by one of the cooks, and waiting 15 minutes on line, I didn't care because I was hungry, and these are the best in town!

I think I set my expectations too high! My idea of a Philly Cheese steak would consists of grilled steak, grilled onions, peppers with swiss or american cheese (if you cant tell, I am a foodie!) so I was surprised that this place, did not prep theirs this way. (which is the best way, tastes amazing!) Anywho, Geno's served cold onions, and peppers. (yuck) but the bread was fresh and taste amazing. lol

I give them a 2 out of 5 stars.

MissRichTV: Out & About Brooklyn Museum

2015-10-01T19:01:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! So I went to see two really cool exhibits at The Brooklyn Museum! The Rise of Sneaker Culture & Faile & Bast Arcade! I had a great time and hope you enjoy my vlog! If you ever been the Brooklyn museum,, whats your favorite part?

Please take a look at the on my channel, let me know what you think!

First stop was a timeline of the hottest sneakers from all era's in fashion. From the very first pair of Skippy's to the latest pair of Louis Vuitton Yeezy's. The Rise of Sneaker Culture has it all. My favorites are the pink hightop Reebok's. (brought back so many memories of my childhood. 80's baby!) And the Grant Hill Fila's. There's even a wall of Jordan's showcasing every pair of Jordan's. If you're a sneaker head, you'll love this exhibit!

Next stop at Brooklyn Museum was the Faile & Bast Arcade. Looked like something straight out of an 80's nightclub! They had Michael Jackson Beat It blasting in the background, people all over playing arcade games, all while being surround by dope, neon, street art and graffiti! It was actually the inspiration behind the exhibition. I had an excellent time at the Brooklyn Museum, and I so recommend checking these out before it is too late!

Watch my vlog, and let me know what you think!

Thanks guys!

Beautiful things happen when you take pride in yourself.

“When European Ideals and standards of beauty mean absolutely nothing.” -Kye

"throughout the world we have people that do not notice each other's essence and humanity" -Kye

Everyone's culture is unique and beautiful. But it's important to display each cultures various beauty. Not just one type. Which is what mainstream media does. It's important for everyone of multiple cultures to know and celebrate what is beautiful about themselves. Kye's way of breaking prejudices and stereotypes is amazing to me!

Very smart young lady named Kye "Broke the Internet" while heading to prom and also inspired me to write this blog post.

She's a very smart 18 year old. In addition to aspiring to be a designer she should also consider becoming a writer. Articles featuring Kye talk about her ground breaking prom dress. Which was beautifully sketched and designed by her. The Afro-centric print, vibrant color of the gown is breathtaking and she's rocking her hair in a perfectly coiffed Afro!

She is beautiful and so is that prom gown but her words are what's more impressive.

It's exactly what society needs to embrace. It's also for people who have felt embarrasses to be themselves!

Be yourself and don't live life with prejudice. Stereotypes are just opinions that plague your existence. When you embrace those things you're stunting your growth mentally and spiritually. This negativity will only manifest within you breeding more negativity. It's a pivotal part of life to live prejudice free, be cultured, creative and charismatic.

Kye stated "I believe that in order for society to gain a wider horizon, we have to be willing to acknowledge other people from differences, beliefs, morals, and values."

Today everyone should try to talk to someone new! Spark up a convo, BE YOURSELF, without prejudice... Ya never know it can lead to something beautiful!

She ended her writing with an uplifting note on embracing who you are. "Don’t let anyone define you. Beautiful things happen when you take pride in yourself. #blackgirlsrock #kyebreaktheinternet

Thoughts...

2013-07-01T22:46:00.001-07:00

Growing up I've always had a love for fashion and design, maybe it stemmed from childhood. looking through old black and white photos of my grandmother in beauty pageants, or it could've been images of my mother and aunts draped in glamorous threads, circa NYC 60's, 70's and 80's. My mother whom I always admired, was a model and singer, she was always and still is very stylish and glam. Was I influenced? yes! Although I believe I was naturally drawn to fashion and entertainment.

I modeled at an early age, I just loved to get dressed up, acting was also a favorite of mine. I actually enjoyed that more because I love having a voice outside of just taking pics. (Hence my youtube channel)

But is Fashion and style something you need to learn? Or does it come naturally? Style is what you do with Fashion. So is it necessary to attain a specific Fashion degree, to excel in the fashion field? Learning terminology, textile, and period pieces?…. Is that something you can learn on your own? I feel it comes so naturally. Is that natural ability all that is needed to excel in the fashion field? or do you need the education? Or is it about what looks good on that resume?

Well I'm posting this knowing that, I love fashion, and entertainment, I have since forever and yet I still manage to gain that degree and pursue even higher. I've always been told to reach for the stars if I should fall, ill land on the moon.

(S:N) feel free to leave your thoughts below.

Fashion of The day: Mixing Prints

2012-11-14T00:54:00.001-08:00

My Style is an expression of me. I don't follow trends, I just do me! Rules are made to be broken, in fashion that is! I recently read a post on FashionBombDaily about mixing prints and I was totally inspired. I love the ideas of playing with colors, mix-matching and still making it work! Some people are afraid to think outside the box, try new things, and explore their different levels of personal style. I say go for it, YOLO! :)

Boots: David Z (soho nyc)
Shirt: Macy's
Pencil skirt: Forever21

Earrings and Necklace from LastNameDiva
Belt: Asos (sold out)

Blogger- Rihanna-June Ambrose
They're showing the different ways to mix-match prints, and make it work

Miss Rich Tip: Mixing Prints is easy, and will never go out of style. Choosing colors that compliments each other is a key to rocking this look. Wether it's bold or nude colors. I chose bold because, thats just the type a girl I am, I like to make a statement. Remember the most important tip I give you, is forget about the rules of fashion and just do your thing. It's personal style, be true, be you, and own it!

What's Hot: 90's Style Sunglasses

2012-11-11T09:28:00.001-08:00

History repeats itself, and so does fashion. Remember, how last year it was all about the 80's fashion, with the oversize sunglasses, gold banners across the top. Now it's all about the 90's! Growing up in the 90's this was a major trend round sunglasses! I remeber seeing all my favorite artist in a pair of Round shades, it was the trend back then. My favorite group then Immature were notorious for this look. Now everyone is wearing this 90's style trend. Movie stars, singers and everyday people have gravitated to the 90's.

Love the retro vibe I get from these glasses. Gives off an instant glam look with any outfit you wear. Here's some of my favorites!!!

I love Rihanna's vintage Chanel sunnies, so glam so chic. Which pair would you wear?

Hurricane Sandy in NYC

2012-11-04T12:41:00.001-08:00

As many know Hurricane Sandy has hit NYC and the Tri-State area. As a born and raised New Yorker I am feeling the effects of her raft. Although her reign has affected everyone, some more than others, I am thankful that my family and friends are okay at this time. During the beginning of the storm it seemed like a hoax, telling people to evacuate, saying it's not safe, when it was just windy outside, no rains and a cool breeze.

It was until Tuesday evening 10/30/2012 that things took a turn for the worse. I prayed families took heed to the warnings. The winds began knocking trees out the grounds from the roots, and telephone wires, ripped from poles were dancing in the streets as the rain and winds began to whirl. It was bad! I lost power for about a day and a half and thank God the house was okay, no flooding and no damage.

However the devastation of the Hurricane looked like a scene from The Day After. Atlantic City, under water, Jersey Shore, under water, even Coney Island, under water. These are places I frequent often. So even though my property itself wasn't damaged, I still felt the hurt Sandy caused, these places are like my backyard, my play ground. What really hit the hardest was seeing the affect Hurricane Sandy had on Lower Manhattan. Now, I may live in SI but I am a city girl all the way, and I take the ferry every single day, which leaves me there in Lower Manhattan, and to see how the water just swallowed it up, complete devastation, and words cannot express how this video below made me feel. Watch below

My heart goes out those who were affected tremendously by the storm, those who lost there lives, homes, and family members, my condolences to you all. We are still being affected. Nov 4, and there are still families without power in their homes, food to eat, and a place to stay and gas to fuel their cars. Stay Strong. And to those reading this Nov. 6 please Rock The VOTE and VOTE!!#Team Obama!!

Fall and Winter Trends: Fur

2012-11-02T09:37:00.001-07:00

The time of year has come! Time to get cozy and warm. While you're running the streets either work, shopping, or just kicking it. What better way to look chic, and stay warm at the same time?! Adding fur to your wardrobe, will give you that boost to take your style to the next level. A vest, crop jacket, fur collars or scarves they're all acceptable, on-trend and chic in this weather.

I love the look of fur, wether it's faux or not, it adds and instant glamour to any outfit. If you're wearing jeans a long sleeve tee and combat boots adding a fur vest will take you from casual to chic in no time. For ladies night out take your look to the next level by pairing your fur cropped jacket with a leather skirt or dress, leather is huge right now, and very weather appropriate. For a business casual environment try pairing a blazer with a fur lapel collar this accessory is a must for any fashionista on the go.

Here's a few of my favorite looks below! And stay tuned for video from my YouTube channel MissRichTV

Hollywood Glam: Halloween Outfit of the Night!

2012-10-30T23:44:00.000-07:00

If I can dress like this everyday I would! I love playing dress up, and Halloween is my favorite time of year to do so. Any chance I get to invoke my inner glammed out goddess, Im on it! So heres my take on 1920s, Old Hollywood, Harlem Renaissance, Flapper dancer look. Simply adore it!

Believe it or Not, anyone can achieve this look for Halloween! Just gather items from your closet!

Dress: Armani Exchange (purchased 3yrs ago)

Gloves: Boutique (Soho few mnths ago)

Feather boa and Feather head-dress: Rickey's Halloween Store to complete my look 1920s Hollywood look.

I was inspired by the effortlessness and chic look of the past divas. Such as, Josephine Baker and classiness of the Harlem Renaissance women. I also love the Keri Hilson's rendition of the flapper look in her "Pretty Girl Rock" video. She killed it!

I love old Hollywood Glamour I may keep these period pieces coming for next years Halloween. Maybe I'll do 1940s pin-up!

Miss-Rich Tip: When it comes time to dress up for Halloween, I love to think outside the box. The best costumes for me is one with character! One where you can honestly see yourself as that person or image. You don't always have to be a sex-kitty, ghoul or goblin. Have fun with it as I always say, Happy Halloween! See you at the parade NYC!

On Scene: MissRichTv Occupy Wall St

2012-10-17T11:36:00.000-07:00

Yes, Im on the move once again, and I stumble upon the Occupy Wall Street protest in NYC. I was in the midst of a stampede of people yelling at the tops of their lungs for a "Revolution" and other reasons, such as equality, pollution and politics. I find that I'm always in the middle of something, so when it goes down, I grab my camera and start shooting. That what being a journalist is all about. Plus, Its always cool seeing people come together and take a stand for what they believe in, even if it's for several different reasons. Take a look at my video below!

What do you feel about the Occupy Wall Street acts, do you feel they're are justified in their acts or do you think, they're just a bunch of slackers sleeping on the streets and rallying to make noise??

Miss Rich TV: Versace/Givenchy inspired DIY project

2012-09-08T23:14:00.000-07:00

This was a fun project to make. I am truly starting to enjoy DIY(Do It Yourself) projects. I love seeing my visions become a reality. To me, thats what fashion is all about. Having a dream, idea, vision, and a plan and making it become reality. I love the idea of walking art. That is really what drew me to make these pieces. I was inspired by a fellow Youtuber UrbanIcon82 his vision are DOPE!!! He also has crazy fashion sense. I, of put my very own Miss Rich spin on things, and re-vamped it up! He was also impressed with my take on the whole Versace/Givenchy Aztec print T-shirt. Now I will say this, it was quite difficult to do because I chose to free hand the design. I opted not to sketch it before hand, why I don't know, I guess I just love to challenge myself, and I think it came out nicely, tell me what you think leave a comment below..... and please subscribe to my Youtube channel MissRichTV

Accessory Alert: Chain Links

2012-08-08T22:20:00.000-07:00

Accessories are the key to a hottt outfit!! Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings galore! The latest trend in accessories that I am drooling over are Chain-links. Whether head chains, body chains or hand chains, they're the ultimate statement piece and my latest obsession.....

Lets take a look!!

My Chain Belt is easily becoming my favorite statement piece for my wardrobe I wear it with everything!

My Hand Chain is the ultimate statement piece and adds interest to any look... Love these!!!

Keyshia Cole rocking the body chain in her new video "Enough Love" Im still searching for the perfect one

Head chains are are the easiest way to add class to a boring outfit, or add pizazz to a sophisticated look!

Miss-Rich Fashion Tip: (Side-Note) You can look polished without piling on too much. Personal style is also best, be yourself, yet still remain polished. You can be over the top but in a good way, try accessorizing using one statement piece, this is an easy way to get an edgy look with any outfit. Layer different necklaces and bracelets to achieve an edgy approach with a simple outfit as well!! Thank Me Later :)

Miss Rich Fashion Tip: Fashion vs Style

2012-08-08T14:22:00.000-07:00

One thing about fashion, it comes and goes, but what will always remain Style!

You can wear the most expensive garments but if you don't have style, you'll look like you're trying too hard! Keep it to a minimum. Fashion is made every season, don't pile on all the looks at once, be effortless be chic! Effortless style is the best style. Trying too hard, makes you look uncomfortable and less confident. As I always say Confidence is sexy!!
