Full Moon

A full moon must be in the horizon... I'm blogging again! Realizing that I've taken too much time off (the entire summer:-) figured I should pick this back up. I had a good run this summer but fall is here and winter's approaching... Time to get back to reality. Some positive changes are occurring in my life that I would love to share with my faithful few. In the next year I plan on starting a new business, quitting my job, growing my hair natural, and running a half-marathon. I want you all there for the good, the bad, and the discovery! To top all those things off I have new boyfriend!! Are you all ready for this roller coaster ride called MY LIFE?? Stay tuned...

Just to leave you all in good spirits I'll share my new favorite quote...

"May the best of your today's be the worst of your tomorrows..." ~Shawn C. Carter aka Jay-z

Happy Halloween

Oh My Sweet Jimmy!

*****I think I've lived... died... and gone to shoe heaven.*****

Hot off the press... Jimmy Choo has signed a deal with H&M!! Now if you're anything like me, thus far you've been adoring these beautiful shoes and handbags from afar. Not anymore!! Just think - "red carpet" style meets "I can still pay my rent after this purchase" prices.




Jimmy Choo will be debuting at 250 H&M stores nationwide and abroad on November 14th. Well just my luck we don't' have and H& M here... The closest is Atlanta, GA. Anyone up for a road trip? : ) I think I'll go ahead and request the 13th off so I will be there in time to spend the night in line! Am I the only one who's this excited?!?!

Britches, Trousers or Pants... Wear them right or Don't wear them at all!

I've recently embarked on a new career as a Personal Stylist. Since that time I've been working with a few of my friends to build my portfolio and hone my skills. After interviewing one of my girlfriends, she admitted to not knowing how to wear pants. The actual sentence threw me off guard, but then I realized many women feel the same way. So I scoured the net to find a simple user-friendly guide to wearing pants. Here is what I found...

The Limited (which I love) always has great style tips on their website and I encourage you to check them out. Now I understand that it's the middle of summer, but these techniques are classic and will transcend through the seasons. Just be mindful of the fabric the pants are made of. Well I hope this helps you ladies...

Color Me Hot!!

This will be short and sweet ladies...

I was online looking for the perfect date dress. Yes I've been hanging out with a new "special friend" and I like to keep cute dresses stashed just in case. Today I came across this oh so hot & sexy teal dress from Banana Republic $130. This summer is all about bright colors and soft flowing fabrics. Like the model, I would also opt for a nude or flesh colored shoe and matching belt. That should give the dress all the attention it needs while making your legs look super sexy. *Note - nude or flesh colored heels make your legs appear longer b/c there's no break in color.

If you're feeling adventurous then add color with a clutch or bangles (please don't do both). Also keep in mind a dress of this type exudes light airy feel, so don't settle with black shoes & accessories. It will kill the mood ;)
