You can watch the whole video if you've never saw the episode or simply want to catch up but @ 4:05..Tasha gives great advice. None of which us smart women aren't already aware of, just some things that we tend to neglect as we misplace our minds for our hearts.

Feverish!

Three things I feel I need to incorporate into my Spring wardrobe?

1. A fabulous red bootie.
2. Floral Prints.
3. Over-the-knee socks.

Red is my favorite color and I'll WORK! if I find a sweet pair to love my feet.

I was never too fond of florals but I'm finding it to be a great accent to an all black ensemble.

&& the over-the-knee socks/tights are not only for cool days [when I'd wear them over a pair of skinnies] it's more so because I cannot for the life of me, find a great pair of over-the-knee boots. [sheesh!]

Of all the things you wear, your expression is most important.

Accessorize with a

I've been thinking alot lately. && most times, as I'm thinking, I'm writing.

::I call this - Inside of my mind, on 3.25.09

In and out of love it was
but "like" is what it is and what it isn't.
She may have hugged you, kissed you, rubbed you... all because she wanted to
or declined to do so be she didn't.
Like usually has nothing to do with it at all.
She no longer cares about the rise and fall of the relationship because in her mind, you two only relate in one way.
You're out to get it, and so is she.
Except her it is simply proof that what she believes is true.
"All guys aren't hunting for the fruit....like you? Some actually do!"
&& experiment 1trillion5 is you.
Is she..
promiscuous, although she's studying the habits of males?
or pessimistic for automatically assuming they'd fail?
Either way...neither is cool to live with.
So which do you choose?
Life w. a million lovers or one full of negative views?

...Either way you die bruised.

It's been a minute since I've posted a "Look of the Day" and that's merely because I've yet to find anything dope enough to share.

Until now, of course.

Below, you'll find pics of Rih-Rih...steppin' out...like only she does!

This was during , what I would call, a fun-filled night @ DaSilvano's. Fun because, it was said that she kicked it w. the Royal Couple - Hov & B. :)

I'm just tired! Can I vent?!

I’m just tired of this epidemic of disrespect...of this game that I NEVER agreed to play! Tired of the inconsistency, the lies, the secrets, the fucking AUDACITY that some have. [It’s time to stop guessing, for a second..Lord knows, I'm tired of that too]. I’m tired of putting out to get squat in return or half of half. I’m tired of harboring feelings for a man who couldn’t give a bit of shit about me [my siblings call him dad]. I’m not really tired of them [the citizens of Mars], I’m simply tired of them being like him. I’m tired of almost getting mad [‘cuz you know humans aint supposed to go there] I’m tired of being afraid, of insecurity. && so what if I want to make a complaint, although I’m tired of having reasons to complain, THIS IS MY BLOG and don’t even think about calling me a victim. I’m nothing of the sort. I’m just tired x 12, therefore making me SICK&&TIRED of people stressing my life’s path. I have a destination! I’ll call you when I get there. Or maybe you can read about it, since I’m soo not good at staying in touch. I'm tired of that argument too. && I'm tired of young ppl dying. I mean I know death is inevitable but damn...[RIP Javier].

I just got tired of being tired because honestly…our days are numbered. One has no clue when he/she will head home so I think the best remedy for this ailment is to WAKE THE HELL UP..in so many ways..for so many reasons!

Yes, I'm a fool lol. This, we know.

we're not talking about me today.

It's all about the shoe.

I <3.

Yesterday, while at work, I wore a pair of platforms from the runway collection [CUSTO] and they were ridiiiiculously comfy.

So now I'm chasing my heel high

Those, unfortunately, aren't for sale...

However, these babies are [Paris Hilton Glam] and they're only $123 on Zappos.

On Keeping In Touch...

I usually don't. && it's never intentional, I'm just not good at it. I'll call on holidays, I'll call on birthdays but it's hard for me to stay in contact w. ppl who I don't really have a relationship or some sort of connection with. I mean, we'd have had to connect in some way if you have my number but forming relationships w. ppl is hard for me as it is so if we don't speak often enough the connection that we need to grow will diminish..which then puts you in the barrel of "neglect" [labeled by others]. I have family members [adults] who don't call me but will complain that I never call them [major gear grinder]. I was never that person. & it's not a tit for tat thing but relying on me to pick up the phone as if I don't want to hear my phone ring is the wroong way to go. I walk this earth too, it's not me that's not dialing, it's us. & if "we" can't agree on that then "we" won't speak. No love lost, just real talk. Maybe it's something I need to work on, idk. I've never really seen anything wrong w. it and I think it's because I'm an only child who, as a child, had strong relationships w. ppl only to grow up and have those relationships weaken. These ppl see it as you not having them to think about but I feel as an adult dealing w. a child, you have to know the importance of consistency. If I see you as a child, cool. I'm comfortable w. you, we rock. However, we grow in stages, what you were to me as a child, will not be so as I mature if you aren't consistent. I grew w. my mother every day, so she is my rock, she's all I know. I expect her to be there and she is, always. From others, I expect nothing and that may be why I have nothing to give. Does that sound mean? I don't mean for it to. It's simply the reality of my thoughts.

How does one cope?

Buy? or Bypass?

I spotted these babies while perusing through net-a-porter's collection of shoes.

They're FitFlop gladiator sandals by Aurelia and according to the descrip given, they're supposed to tone your legs as you walk.

I like the way the mannequin worked it out but I'm not too sure how I feel about them.

When I first saw them, I thought "doope", but once I got a glimpse of the back, I was no longer intrigued. [confused, I'll admit]

What do you think?

She's Officially Been Chopped & Screwed!

Hey loves,

I do apologize for being away but my level of inspiration has been rather low lately. [I know...sucky!]. I'm getting my swagger back tho. I've been plagued w. thoughts these past few days and usually I try to keep those to myself but opinions are much needed so in due time, I'll share.

....................................................................

Today, I went to get my herre did & I must say, I loves. When it comes to short cuts, I usually want to kill the beautician for the first week because they went a little too hard w. the scissors but she payed close attention to what I wanted [pic of Tao] & delivered!

When I get a pic, It'll be posted immediately, for those of you who care to see.

As for now, I'm going to eat. I haven't eaten anything since 11am and my head is throbbing.

For Her, I Will

This is Jasmina. A six year old who's suffering from a rare and aggressive form of Leukemia.
She's been in the hospital for about 6 months now & needs a bone marrow transplant in order to be cured.

Saturday, March 7th I will be going to P.S. 41 [11th street, 6th ave.] to join Jasmina's bone marrow registry.

I think it's so sad that she has to go through that, being so young. She's six, she hasn't experienced half of what life has to offer her and if I can possibly help cure her, how could I not jump to do so?

You guys should come along. I'm sure it'll take no more than five minutes.

All I'm Saying Is..

If Keri Hilson is truly throwing daggers at the Queen, she may wanna lay off the sizz.

I've been a Keri follower since "Help Me" but saying stupid ish like "ya vision cloudy if you think you the best. You can dance, she can sing but need to move it TO THE LEFT" [yawn]...could cost alot.

Bey's bad and uhhh Keri's.......Keri.

There's no room in her career for beef. She can't perform, her style is trash, she has a cute voice but her package is nothing to write home to mom about.

She's buggin'. Instead of perfecting your craft, you'd come for Bey?
Bey spits on the low [haha] & if she isn't up for entertaining this, Jay just might. [Could she be more suicidal?!]


I'm slowly finding myself turned off!

Mayda Del Valle "The Gift"

This was the most uplifting thing I heard in a long while.

I too am a writer, I write poetry but my passion is in styling and the way she feels about writing is equivalent to the fervor that I have toward the looks that I coordinate.

"this is not a job or an occupation. It is a calling & I'm replying."

It gave me chills.

Spring into a New Do'

With the new season approaching, I'm feeling the need to give myself a make-over. && this make-over will first consist of a new do'. If you know me, you know that I am the most scissor-happy chick around. I cut my hair, I let it grow, only to cut it again & of course miss it lol.

I've been wanting to get this look that you see on model Tao Okamoto for a minute now and sooner than later, I'll be going for it. I love the way it frames her face & I know it'll look cute because I had something a lil' bit similar, though shorter, last summer but those bangs...I need!

I'm gonna cut it and rock my natural color [which is now dark brown] for a bit but that's gonna change a few weeks in. It'll be a bit drastic for me, seeing as though I'm either a deep brown/jet black kinda girl but I've fully thought this out & I'm pretty sold.

Can't wait for you to see!

<3<3

..::Look of the Day::..

[Photo: garancedore.fr]

I love this look, there's just something so necessary about an all black ensemble.
& besides my obsession with her pants [ii must get a pair!] I think I chose her look because it's such a reflection of my style.

I'm one who would at one point where heels only when it was imperative. [basically when my outfit called for nothing else] & don't even get started w. dresses.

Now, I can't get enough of heels and will still only do a dress when it is necessary or if I can dress it down. :/

I often find it hard to define my style being as though it's a mix up of looks, usually depending on how I'm feeling. The most consistent thing about it is that...it's most often a relaxed but chic look.[however I don't think 'relaxed chic' should sum up the whole thing lol]

ANYWHO...I'd wear the hell out of this outfit. It isn't doing much but enough.

I <333333!

..::SNAPS::..

Afraid to express her self
& be exposed
Though she wears her heart on the sleeve of all of her clothes
With hope that none of her feelings will ever show
She’s angry, she’s upset.
& on herself, she just told
With no regret, she’s done things cause’ at the time she was bold
But now regrets, those done things
A warm heart is now cold
& closed
It may still be in business if in her brain, her feelings were enclosed
But like most love shows
The brain isn’t the star until the big heart is broken
&.. it’s forced to take the role while the sad heart is choking
It’s hoping that its performance is potent
Enough that someone will notice & think…
“The combination of head & heart is dopeness”
Before they think to stroke this
I’m refusing to hope less.

I don't do 'running in heels'..

...but I might've done so to land a spot on The Style Network's new reality show.

It's called "Running in Heels" and if you've seen the CW11's show Stylista, you should pretty much have a clear conception of what it's about. Just as Stylista, it's a magazine focused reality show for the fashionable, pertaining to interns who move to the city and grind for a position w. a publication, which in this case is Marie Claire.

From this show, I'm expecting loads of drama. It seems that interning for a fashion magazine is hell. I mean, that's how it's been depicted in Stylista, The Devil Wears Prada [poor Andy] and [kinda but not really] in several episodes of The Hills. The best part about it all is that in the end, it's soo worth it. You go through the works to maintain your position and out of nowhere you're in a much higher position, w. car service and company cards..and finally someone is fetching YOUR Starbucks delight [soy chai for me :)].

I wasn't even aware that the show was being put together. I would've loved to audition. The experience would be crazy as well as the exposure [you'd wanna be seen too...so don't even]. Watching me under pressure? Comedy. I of course wouldn't find it funny but I assume the world would.

If you're interested in running along with the chosen 3...it airs tonight at 8/7c.

::sidebar:: "Life in the Fab Lane" is showing at 10. Has anyone been following? [prolly not lol but if so...how good is it?]

Ray Tintori [continued..]

So, according to the info that I’ve gathered on Mr.Ray, I’ve concluded that he’s a 24 y.o. from Brooklyn who got his start by directing “Death to the Tinman”, his undergraduate thesis film for Wesleyan University’s Film Studies Program.
[First of all, who the hell would’ve thought he’d be that young and soo close to home?!]
Proceeding…
He is said to still reside in The Big City where he is writing his next film as well as scripts for several major motion pictures. && as we already know, he is also directing music videos for pop groups like MGMT, Chairlift [as mentioned in a previous post] and he’s done business w. The Cool Kids for “Delivery Man”.

I plan to follow his work, he's seems pretty dope to me.

Can you say the same?

Today is only March 1st but shoot, I'm excited!

Soon, I can say goodbye to my winter coat, bid farewell to my Uggs and embrace the beautiful spring weather && fashion.

We have exactly 20 days until it's officially spring and I cannot wait.

With a passion, I despise the bitterness of winter and I'm truly loving spring because I plan to take a cute lil' vacation sometime during the warmer months and it's arrival only means I'm getting closer to my dreams [at last!]

I was thinking Puerto Rico, I've never been to Florida either..smh I'm probably the only one who hasn't..but it's all good. All I know is, I'll be somewhere for at least a week.

What are your warm weather plans? [I know I'm not the only one making a list]
