I love being recognized for my style and nothing is more awesome than someone deciding that your style is amazing enough for them to feature you on their blog! :)

Back in July, I was in Little Five Points doing a bit of shopping when I was asked to take a picture because the guy liked my outfit.

I posed, got his card and then completely forgot about my feature. However, here today I was asked about whether or not I saw the post from one of my friends who was with me and then I decided to go check it out. Here's a link to the article as well as a picture of the outfit I was wearing:

Celebrity Style Star of the Week

Wow. I can't remember the last time I did a Celeb Style Star of the Week post. I've been so busy and I haven't been inspired by too many celebs.

However, I follow Vashtie on Instagram and besides her being totally and completely gorgeous you cannot deny how fly that girl is! She is definitely one of my style inspirations. I love how she can rock sneakers, flats, and heels. I've never seen her look bad.

Even though she's most famous for dating Pharrell, she hosts parties and also directs music videos!

Check out Vashtie's style and I'm sure you'll fall in love with her too! :)

Just for inspiration...

New Music

DJ Khaled- They Ready (Featuring J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T. && Kendrick Lamar)




First, I really dislike DJ Khaled. All he does is yell over tracks and sound stupid. However I've been a fan of J. Cole for a couple of years now, I think KRIT is cool && I'm in love with Kendrick Lamar so when I was told about this track I just had to hear it. I love the beat, and I think it's safe to say that all three MCs did their thing (Kendrick had the best verse IMO though).

Lord of the Rings

I L-O-V-E these rings! They're so cute && they remind me of mini versions of my multi-finger cross ring I made back in October. I still wear it faithfully && have since made another version of it. I feel like it adds the perfect amount of unexpected edge to a feminine outfit.

So Clutch

These clutches by Christian Louboutin are truly works of beauty! I want one so bad! You can dress these bags up or down and the spikes on the black one are so trendy.

Control Your Speech

I really needed to see this today. I have let my feelings push me to say things to others that I know I shouldn't say.

Pride, hurt feelings && a quick tongue make for an awful combination. The results of me not watching what I say have proved disastrous.

So I pray that God gives me the strength to put my pride to the side when it comes to those that I love, that he will give me the ability to watch what I say. I pray that he helps guide my tongue so that I only say things that I mean && so that I use my words to uplift && heal my loved ones instead of bringing them down && harming them. Amen.

Song of the Day

ASAP Ferg- A Hundred Million Roses

I heard this song for the first time on my birthday and now I love it. I'll admit that I wasn't a big ASAP Mob fan at first but they've definitely grown on me! I look forward to seeing what they can contribute to the game.

Maturity

Maturity. Aging is necessary, growing up is not.

I've been presented with several situations these past few weeks where I was left in awe of the immaturity of several people.

Thinking someone is subtweeting you, constantly making smart remarks directed towards someone, and addressing your issues with someone on Twitter instead of in their inbox are all signs of serious immaturity in my eyes.

I'll address the Twitter issue first because I've been dealing with issues because of Twitter for far too long. It all goes back to when I was talking to this guy && I was told that people that didn't even follow me were reading my tweets and getting upset about them so I had to watch what I said about him. My response to him was that the people that were twatching me could go f*** themselves and needed to stay off of my TL. I still keep that mentality, if you don't follow me don't read my tweets unless I'm RT'd on your TL. Stop checking up on me. Also every tweet someone posts is not directed at you. I don't subtweet, I make general statements. If you get upset, oh well, your bad.

Also a lot of people have been tweeting about the issues that they have with one of their peers instead of calling/ texting them and handling it that way. Twitter does nothing but invite people into your business which will in turn escalate the situation. Handle any dispute you have with anyone off of social networking sites.

Everybody doesn't have the ability to rise above the drama. Let those that try to drag you down with them look like the pathetic peons they are.

Song of the Day

Words to Live By...

Do the best you can.

I'm not jealous of anyone. The only person I compete against is myself. When you feel the need to compete against someone else you've already lost.

Be the best version of you. No matter how much you progress you can always make yourself better. When you reach a goal you've set for yourself, set the bar much higher next time. When you finally become the person you were attempting to be, it'll make your success THAT much sweeter.

Happy Birthday to Me!

On August 17, 1992 I was born. ^_^ this Friday I celebrated my birthday in Athens && then came back && turned up with my friends for the next two days. I had fun && my 20th birthday was definitely a success!

Song of the Day

No Doubt- Underneath It All

"You're really lovely, underneath it all. && you want to love me, underneath it all. I'm really lucky, underneath it all..."

Long Hurr, Don't Curr!

So I'm back to being long hair, don't care ladies && gents! Just in time for my birthday! ;)

I got 18" Brazilian body wave sewed in. Before I had my friend put it in, my little sister && I ombréd the ends. After I handle a couple of more things I'm going to dye the tips pink && of course I'll post pictures && a how-to on here!

Pay It Forward

I don't think I really mentioned it too much on here but I won a 5-day apprenticeship with Tracy Reese through Coca-Cola!

On July 22nd I flew to NYC, stayed in the Westin in Times Square && worked a regular 9 to 5, Monday-Friday. I was extremely nervous as it was my first time in New York && I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I loved the atmosphere, the pace && of course the shopping! I could definitely see myself living there!

As an apprentice I got to help the design team prepare for fashion week, send off clothing to Tracy's other showrooms, help with the development of Tracy's Spring 2013 collections, sit in on fittings as well as other meetings && find out what each person on the design team did.

While in NYC I also got to spend time with my Tavie! She came from Pittsburgh to visit me! ^_^ we had tons of fun exploring the city && shopping in Soho! :D

Overall, I had a lot of fun, learned a lot && I'm sure that I'll find myself in New York again, sooner than I realize.

A Piece of Reese

On this day I had to go to court for a traffic ticket >_> && I had a few other errands to run with my friends. I wanted a simple, comfortable outfit that still had a chic spin on it.

I wore that shorts that I got during my five-day apprenticeship with Tracy Reese && I loved how they classed up my plain white tank.

Shirt: Ambiance Apparel
Shorts: Plenty by Tracy Reese
Shoes: Mossimo Supply Co
Necklace: Forever 21
Bracelet: Charlotte Russe
