What to Wear: All White Summer Luncheon
Reader Chanell asked "Hey I'm going to a picnic style luncheon on Saturday and I have no idea what to wear. They would like to have everyone wear all white. So what do I wear to an all white luncheon?" I came up with three looks that Chanell could possibly choose from. Check them out Look 1 consists of an off the shoulder dress with jeweled flat sandals and a soft pink bag. The look is sophisticated yet casual for an outdoor park setting. Look 2 is has a nice punch of color with the comibination of teal and turquoise. I like mixing bright summery colors like the blues and greens in this look with white. This looks shows that a little color goes a long way. Look 3 is pretty simple. You have a flowy skirt and tank top accented with brown. This color combo never gets old in my opinion. I love the brown for this event because the outdoor feel. The shoes in this look are a stacked … [Read More...]

BET Awards 2011
Last night the BET Awards aired live from LA. I must say it was an eventful 3hrs and 30 minutes. BET tries so hard but falls short each and every time. First of all when is there EVER a tie on an award show? I mean really BET? The worst part of the night had to be the Viewer's Choice announcement. That was just a mess. I was excited to see Beyonce perform live from the Glastonbury festival, but when it was 11:15 Eastern Time it was after 4am in London so clearly it wasn't live. When I saw the performance I was like wait I saw this earlier on a Live Stream of the concert, so that was a fail on BET's part. Anyway let us get on to the fashion shall we... I did not like any of these looks. Teairra Marie needs a new stylist asap. She is a beautiful young lady but her outfit choices just makes her look sleezy. Nicki's wig is nice and her makeup. I hate the dress tights and boots. Rocsi's … [Read More...]
Motivation Monday: Adversity
"Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors" Proverb Adversity is defined as a condition marked by misfortune, calamity, or distress; harship or affliction. Arthur Golden once said "Adveristy is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are." Adversity can be caused by man, satan, and God. You have to discern the cause of your harship to act accordingly. When God brings adverse conditions to your life he is trying to build and develop your character. It is not a punishment he just wants you to develop into the person he has called you to be. So do not look at your hardships and complain but try to identify what God wants you to learn. Look for the lessons in order to become a better person. … [Read More...]
