Rockabilly style

I have tried to avoid liking this style of shoe...every since my girl rocked a pair of vintage tap shoes at the beach last year. Lmao! I was too through. But, I visited the Steve Madden website...and gosh darnit...fell in love with a male oxford styled pair. On top of that, it came in a couple of my favorite colorways. So yes, I will be copping a pair this fall to rock with my bowties, cardigans, and whatever else I can pull together to complete the look. Straight up Janelle Monae.

Its just lotion!!!

I ran up on this item while in Saks. And even though I am not a big Kiehls fan(moreso Johnson & Johnson), I thought the woman behind the product was dope. Erykah Badu, along with a few other artists have done an limited edition lotion with Kiehls. Proceeds go to the Waterkeeper Alliance, a group that believes in providing youth with access to safe drinking water. Dope, right? Along with that, the lotion have ingriediants such as argan Oil, squalane, and vitamin E. All good for restoring your skins moisture, appearance and texture....which I am all for! I will be grabbing me a bottle asap.

What I am digging at the moment...

I might have blogged about her before...but after seeing a show called Unsung on TVONE about singer Minnie Ripertons life...my love I already had for this late artist, grew more. It was beautifully documented, and I began to search online to hear more of her work. I found gems that were undiscovered, but definitely inspiring. Especially music from her first two albums, Come to my garden and Perfect Angel. Her voice is so pretty. Its very sensual, sweet, yet sexy and girly. Also, she was dope on the fashion tip, google her. I posted a couple of my fav songs from Minnie...hopefully you all enjoy.

Perfect Angel - Minnie Riperton

Les Fleurs - Minnie Riperton

Whiteout!

I am not a fan of all white parties. But Amber Rose looked gorgeous in this outfit for Diddy's White Party. I especially loved the blouse...she looked radiant. Dope.

AA Hoody Dress

This is the dress I had my eye on at American Apparel...also almost the same style Rihanna is rocking in the pic below. I might scoop this for the fall.

My ex crush

She is still dope. I miss you Ri-Ri...
P.S Saw the same hoodie dress at American Apparel...even though hers is Roberto Cavalli

Gucci!!

No...not another Gucci Mane song...but Gucci is having a sale!!! lol!


Sale $485...I might cop this bag...


Sale $465...These Plats are dope too...hmmm...lol!


$535...this is a new fall release for the men...the pseudo boo has his eye on them...

Taste like Honey

I love my mags...popular and obscure. I am picky about the ones I read. They must cater to my lifestyle...and be able to share the bed with me. With that being said...I revisited a fav mag of my past, Honey Magazine. This magazine was released in 2000 and was short lived. I had fave editors, and writers. Loved Michela Angela Davis, and Mitzy. It was for the young woman of color, an updated Essence. Seeing bright covers that popped with beautiful women that looked like me, made me feel special. There is not, and has not been another like it. Fortunately you can read the Honey Mag online. Here is a cover that I own. There were so many good ones. Enjoy viewing.

American Apparently...

I have a love/hate relationship with American Apparel. They can be overly expensive...but wonderfully simplistic. Hella hoochie...but mega hot. For my party this Friday I purchased the one piece short romper(look 3)...its a risk, but I like risks. Only thing is it may be a lil chilly(yup...its June). So I might do the Unitard(look 1), and a oversized cardigan...hopefully I won't have a camel toe. Now the second pic is a body suit alot of celebrities been rocking...I don't get it....nor do I like it. Who knows! Anyhoo I will be posting pics of the outcome...stay tuned!
