Rock It or Drop It: KeKe Palmer the Blonde Bombshell
Keke Palmer is definitely not the same little girl from Akeelah and the Bee. She has grown in to a lovely young lady with great style. You never hear anything negative about Ms. Palmer in the media and she is definitely a positive role model for young girls today. She recently debuted a new look and some people aren't too happy with her new look. Many people feel she looks too "grown" but she is 19 years old now. How should a 19 year old look? I think she still looks youthful. I've also heard/read about women saying she wants to be white and embrace the European standard of beauty. People kill me with this "women who wear weaves or have relaxed hair want to be white" theory. It's called a preference. Are women who wear their hair natural trying to prove their "blackness?" No, so if a person makes a decision to switch up their style why must the reason be negative? Only she (and … [Read More...]
Oldie but Goodie: My Leopard Print Wedge Booties
This past weekend I was in the sunny state of Florida where temperatures reached 90 degrees. I was in shorts, rompers, and sandals for three days and then I had to come back home to 46 degree weather. I couldn't believe my eyes as I watched the news as my plane landed at JFK. It was 46 degrees in New York and I only had a on a denim jacket. Well this weather reminded me of one of the few things that I like about fall, all of my wonderful boots and booties. One of my favorite pairs would have to be these leopard print wedge booties that I scored last year for $30 on sale. As most of you know I love leopard print and I was on cloud 9 when I spotted these in the window of a boutique in Brooklyn. I just had to take a trip down memory lane. These babies will be making an appearance on my feet pretty soon :) … [Read More...]
What to Wear: Chic Sweatpants- Get Rihanna’s Look
Now if you know me you know that I loathe sweatpants. I don't own a pair and people think I'm crazy. I just can't bring myself to wearing them. I have leggings and yoga pants and those are my go-to items for comfort. I think it was in college when I decided I hated sweatpants. While on the dance team when we would travel to competitions we would have to wear our "uniforms" which were oversized sweats from the 90s, maybe even the 80s. Because dance wasn't considered a "real sport" we didn't get a budget from the sports department so we had to pay for everything ourselves. One of our advisors happened to find some sweats in a storage room and voila our uniforms. I had to wear a size large when I needed an extra small. This is probably when my disdain for sweats surfaced. Anywhoo, fashionista Robyn Fenty (Rihanna) was recently spotted rocking some sweats and she looked AMAZING. Rihanna … [Read More...]
What I Wore: Birthday Brunch and Jay-Z’s Concert
On Saturday I started celebrating my birthday early! October 2nd is the big day, but I couldn't wait to celebrate. I started the celebration with brunch with a few of my friends at one of my favorite brunch spots. Sunday morning my good friend from high school and her bf took me to breakfast, and Sunday night I had dinner with my siblings and 2 friends before we all headed over to the Barclays Center for Jay-Z's concert. Guess what, the celebration doesn't stop there! I'll have updates throughout the week with my birthday festivities. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen my "All Black Everything" outfit. I was going for a trendy look so I wore leather shorts, lace top with black tank underneath, patterned tights, and wedge sneakers. Everything was super trendy, but I guess I gave off Sex Kitten instead lol. Those were not my intentions. I got SOOOO many stares. I didn't … [Read More...]
