Check out my video interview with Shanika Simmons of Broke2Dope.com! We had a lot of fun filming and I'm glad that Shanika even considered me for this opportunity. I'm definitely not where I was last year and I can only go up from here. Let's work.



 

Big Sean and Miguel- Ashley

Big Sean's relationship with Naya Rivera may have come as a huge surprise to some people. The last we heard he was dating his high school sweetheart, Ashley, and the next thing we know he's dating Santana from Glee. I didn't really have an opinion on their relationship until Naya debuted a single called Sorry in which she even goes as far as to name some of Big Sean's exes. The fact that he was featured on the song definitely did not help matters.

We had been hearing about a song titled Ashley that was to be released as a single from his new album, HOF, but we weren't sure what to expect. Well the song is beautiful. I absolutely love the lyrics, it's an open, honest, raw account of the ups and downs of their relationship. Miguel sounds flawless, as usual lol. And I think this is one of the stronger songs on the album.




Can he hurry up and break up with Naya and get back with Ashley?

Something New...

Last week, Beyonce set the world on fire when she debuted a new pixie cut on Instagram. Beyonce is known for her long, blond mane and while there are rumors that she cannot change her hair color due to a contract with L'Oreal, it's good to see her experimenting with different hairstyles!

Just a few days ago, she was seen in Miami with Jay Z and Baby Blue. This time she was rocking a blond bob that was reminiscent of her hairstyle in the Me, Myself, and I video and I am here for it!

Beyonce always slays, and you will deal. After all, she is the King...

New Nails

My birthday is quickly approaching and since I will be leaving for Florida on Wednesday, I decided to get my nails done today. 

I had planned on getting a baby blue color but my good friend, Tavie is in town and she has the exact color I want on her nails. :/

After a quick brainstorm session, I envisioned a lilac/lavender color. My nail shop very rarely has the colors I want, so when they had this color, I was ecstatic! The color looks exactly the way I want it to and it's been getting tons of compliments. Looking forward to finding the color that tops this one...

Pop Art

I had a video interview with Shanika of the blog Broke2Dope yesterday. I found Shanika's blog while looking up information about someone that was participating in a fashion event that I was having last summer and instantly loved her straight to the point and informative style of writing. When she decided that she wanted to interview me, I was beyond excited! I got to talk about working as a wardrobe stylist and show off a few pieces from The RAD! Shop! :)

Since I was going to be in Little Five Points, I wanted a stylish yet effortless outfit. I chose a plain white tee that I tied a knot in, a bright wrap skirt, and my favorite brown gladiator sandals. I accessorized with a gold chain necklace, gold cross earrings, and a stack of bracelets that I coordinated to match my watch.

Hitting the Scene in Seafoam Green

...kind of. Today was a chill day. One where I ran a few errands such as going to my job, buying items to restock my stylist kit, and prepping for my Broke2Dope interview on Wednesday among other things. I wanted a simple outfit. Something that I could be comfortable and still look good in so I selected a simple black and white striped tank, one of my favorite maxi skirts, and my Prabal Gurung for Target sandals with a silver ankle cuff. I added an upper arm cuff, gold cross earrings, and made my own temporary finger to wrist bracelet using one of my gold chains.

That's So Clutch

Ever since I can remember I have had a love affair with huge bags, the bigger the better. I was always the girl that had the biggest bag full of snacks, make-up, and whatever else you needed lol. However, as I got older and started going out more, I began to scale down my purse size. From oversize bags to totes, from totes to small shoulder bags, and from there I ended up falling in love with clutches.

Clutches are just so chic. They can be oversize, they can be super small. They can be made out of leather, they can be made out of denim. No other form of a handbag adds that extra oomph and chicness like a clutch does. For a night out you can fit all your necessities in it: lip gloss and/or lipstick, ID, phone, cards and/or cash, and business cards (depending on where you are that night).

Start out buying clutches in basic black and white, and then graduate to trying out clutches in different colors, styles and fabrics! Fashion is not fire. Play with it. Have fun. Step outside of your comfort zone and you might experience something you like.
