Tight Blue Jeans


I gave up on Levi last year. I mean I loved the first distressed ripped pair I bought in NY five years ago. They fit like no ones business! Made memories in those jeans. I continued to buy jeans from the brand...until recently I noticed when worn alot, the jean gets loose around the butt area. Lawd knows I don't want that! I value my ass! But nevertheless...I continued to buy from Levi. About six months ago I got totally committed to leggings/jeggings, and sold all my Levis. Fast forward to today...now we have Levis 535 Leggings. I die. Seriously. Perfect fit, great stretch, and wash. Same ol' Levis. These jeans lift the booty, and make the legs look hot! I wouldn't consider them a "jegging"...just a stretch jean. I am searching now for every wash!

Young Gifted & Black

My girl Miss Graham hit me on twitter with a link to a necklace she thought I might liked. And of course I did! A Chanel inspired piece...made as if it was melting. Ugh! To die for! So I peeped the designer...Rachel Stewart. You all know I love accessories. I have a 3 foot bin to prove it. This chick Rachel is dope! Not only is she an African American jewelry designer...Ms. Stewart makes some awesome unique creations! Check out a few below. I will def be copping ASAP.

Line Up


Again, to my fashion & beauty budgetnistas, you may not have the money to invest in five $14.50-$22.00 a pop, eye pencils. Don't fret...I am to your rescue. Sometimes a cheaper brand does the job...and maybe even better. Your local beauty stores have some really dope eyeliner pencils priced at $1-$5. I have tried and tested many kinds to know that they work pretty darn good. This season I am on my greys, olives, navy's, and golds for lining my bottom lids. Its a great pick me up if you ran out of shadow, or simply just wanna keep it simple. Try different colors to see what works best for you! They're only under $5, so why not?!

Fall Nails



Speaking of MAC, they have released their Fall '10 nail polish collection, and I have fell in love with one particular color...Earthly Harmony. Not only is it right on trend with the dark, monotone nail colors this season...its fucking sexy! They were actually sold out at the MAC I usually go to, and I was mad disappointed. This shade would look dope against those cashmere sweaters and 70s chic wardrobe for the Fall. Get yours before they run out!

Give Back


For all you budgetnistas out there...I am taking the time to remind you about MAC Giving Back program. You turn in 6 empty MAC make-up containers(compact, lipglass, lipstick, etc.), and receive a free tube of lipstick of your choice! Dope right? After moving, I had tons of MAC containers leftover from years of usage, and decided to turn in 6 of them for my lipstick. Its all for the environment. So you get to look cute...and do some good!

Moving On


Its been a minute since I last blogged...but I am back, for the readers that missed me. I have moved on...well to another apartment. Bigger space...more room to roam and do me. So I have been occupied with that mess. Be patient as for I am whipping up new posts as I type. Stay tuned...
