IN....Latex Leggings



Rihanna’s Members Only latex leggings are so tight, they look like they’ve been poured on, which makes it fitting that Members Only sells them under the label, Liquid Leggings.

Other celebs confident enough to sport this sexy fashion look include Lauren London (shown below) Nicki Hilton, Blake Lively, Mary-Kate Olsen, Heidi Klum, Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss. Made of 85% nylon 15% lycra, I'm pretty sure they're a bit difficult to put on but the positive side is they'll define the contour of your legs, hips, and butt (if you just so happen to be blessed with it). I highly recommend you wear these with a t-shirt or top that hits at or below the hips, because that would flatter your figure. You can wear these with knee high boots, ankle booties, gladiator heels, etc., just don’t wear them with stilleto sandals and while you can- just try to stay away from pairing it with flats and flip-flops.



Where to buy: americanapparel.net-$42, fashionjunkee.com-$27, Members Only Liquid Leather $88 & Aqua Latex $42 @ bloomingdales.com



OUT....plain ol' cotton leggings








Y ME?? Oh yeah_I Signed Up For This!!

So this season of Baldwin Hills is over. I really wasn't into it at first because some of it seemed scripted. But when I noticed the cast and their different personalities and drama, I couldn't help but tune in. Lor'rena, for one, was too funny..her attitude set her above the rest_Moriah was I guess the "ladies man"_&& Gerren seemed stuck up && too in her "ways"_At times it seemed as if the girls were a bit tooo much but then maybe that was just them being them. Even though it seemed the show was all about the drama surrounding Moriah, my fave character was Justin.

I was for everything that he was about. and I believe he was the most influential person outta his peers. He like myself didn't have a close relationship with his father. There were some things in his life he wasn't too proud of and in turn is suffering the consequences. He gave pep talks to his friends, such as sitting Gerren down and letting her know her behavior wasn't that of a lady or a model and she should resolve it. The best thing about him is that he devoted his life to being the best MAN, FATHER, && CHRISTIAN possible. So in spite of all his troubles, he still gave God all the glory. His Godfather also happens to be gospel recording artist, Kirk Franklin. On one episode, Justin has Kirk Franklin guest speak for his youth ministry. His main message was, "I signed up for this". He made it plain that things are gonna come our way because we signed up for it by redeeming ourselves and giving our life to Christ. I hope I'm not the only person who was really feeling what he was talking about.

Lastly, Justin showed how no matter what you should learn to forgive as he did on the season finale, where he reconnects with his father and they begin the relationship that he'd been craving for all of his life.

So now when things don't go my way and it seems as if their is something or some1 hendering me.:i jus have to remember.:THIS IS WAT I SIGNED UP 4!!!

Y Start Blog'n??

I thought I would use my first post to explain why I wanted to start a blog on my life, style and fashion. I think some people (maybe most) have the wrong perception of who {I} am...The inner workings of myself is soooo exquisite and I love it....it's what makes me ME!! Furthermore, I have always been interested in styles I see on those around me. I love seeing people pull of unique items and create a style entirely their own. Even though I'm into a lot of designer items, I tend to stray towards the bargain items (it's all in how you work them). I recently started REALLY incorporating designer items into my wardrobe and creating look books of styles that inspire me. I believe that a blog would be an ideal place to keep all my inspirations, ideas and thoughts about the fashion world... and maybe even get some feedback. I plan to post videos of my favorite shows, images of celebrity style that inspires me, street style that I love, features of local fashionistas, local labels, websites, or anything else that interests me.

As stated before, I absolutely love love love designer items, preferably Chanel-Chloe-Marc Jacobs-Gucci-Alexander McQueen-etc....I also shop at local bargain stores like Forever21 and department stores like Nordstroms (my fave)...I'm not really a pump-type girl unless I'm going out, so you'll most likely catch me in a pair of Marc Jacob flats, my Report gladiator sandals, or my Blazers...NIKE is also my fave. sneaker brand along with Air Jordan...I have tons of shoes, with a 6 by 4ft. collection aligned strategically against my bedroom wall to prove it


I would like to acknowledge everyone who has an opinion...You are beautiful, super successful, perfectly stylish, never has a bad hair day, perfectly fit, always says the right things, and is in the right place at the right time at ALL times.....(i want to be perfect just like you) riiiiiggggghhht! Hahahahaha! I feel like having at good laugh right now. Its not even relevant! Im not the diplomatic prim and proper one....(but i tryyyy!)

Now everyone get your panties out a bunch and go on cnn.com and find out why the weather all across the world is bugg'n! Go and get a piece of cake....a wonderful book i just read that will change your life. Love u....kisses xoxoxoxoxo especially to you....YEAH YOU!!
