Archives for December 2012

Can you believe that 2012 is quickly coming to an end? I feel like there is so much more in store for 2012! Well, while I deal with this realization, you can check out our list of the Best Dressed Fashionistas of 2012. These ladies have impeccable style and had an amazing 2012 either in film, TV, music, or other forms of entertainment. The only issue I had was ranking them in order, so this list will not be based on umber, just style in general. There is no “Number 1” each lady is ranked equally. So here goes our list of Best Dressed of 2012!

Rihanna should be no surprise when it comes to best dressed lists. She is the style chameleon. Whenever there is a new album or a new movie in the works we know because her hairstyle changes. She softened up her look this year with blonde luxurious locks and then the adorable pixie cut. Although her antics have gone to an all new high, her style continues to stay at the steady pace of amazing. She makes things like pajamas wearable in the street. I’m sure the shenanigans will continue in 2013 as long as her style continues to evolve. Pictures2

Solange is the only repeat from the 2011 list. Although she released new music late in the year, she had an amazing year. She had great campaigns with Carol’s Daughter, Madewell, and she was also spotted out and about  DJing at various events. We expect nothing but the best from Solange in 2013

Brandy has come a long way from being Moesha. This year with the release of Two Eleven (her birthday) and she made a huge comeback. Brandy embodied the entire package from great hair, to great makeup, and even better outfits. She has evolved from the girl with the braids to the sophisticated woman with some edge. She knows when to keep it classy and when to spice it up a bit.

Ciara is getting ready to release her upcoming album “One Woman Army” and this year she was in full promo mode. No longer labeled as Kim Kardashian’s friend, Ciara brought it back to the music this year and she did it with style. Her killer legs had many women going to the gym! Her style continues to evolve. She follows her own rules and looks great doing it.

I usually don’t get this dressed up on Christmas. I rarely wear jeans on holidays, but there was something special about today lol. My “maxi skirt” is actually a dress that I purchased from jc penney on Black Friday. I paired it with a v-neck black long-sleeve shirt from 6pm.com and my sequin vest by Apostrophe from Sears (now Metaphor). I finished the look with Michael Antonio zippered booties from 6pm.com and silver jewelry.

Check out the hair!

I love the cranberry color it gives off in the sunlight. In regular house lighting it looked more like oxblood, but outside my dress/skirt was more vibrant.

inspire2

Inspire-verb- to influence; to guide; to prompt; to impel; to motivate to act

With the recent events happening in the world today positive inspiration is something that is definitely needed. We need to utilize our energy in positive ways to invoke positive change. People feel helpless and hopeless now more than ever and are going to extreme measures to make sure people feel the same pain that they do. You know the saying “hurt people, hurt people” and that needs to change.

We all need motivation and encouragement in some way, shape or form. Sometimes it is hard for us to motivate ourselves and so we look to other people to get inspiration to move forward. We need to look in to our lives and make sure that we are trying to live the best life possible, not a perfect life, but the best life. There will high moments and there will be some lows, but guess what? Someone is always watching you looking to be inspired. You may not see your own value or your own worth, but there is someone who is watching you on the sideline looking for ways to better their lives.

So examine your life, it will not be perfect, but are you a living example of the great things that God has done? Are you walking in a positive light? Are you a fragrance and not an odor? Are you living a life that can help inspire someone to move on and do better? You may not have signed up for the job as being someone to inspire others, but sometimes it comes with the territory. Although someone may not say they look at you for inspiration, but that’s alright, still live your life as an example for others to follow.

We need change and that change may come through you and the life you live.
