I love this one but of course it would be fitted with a waste belt

I like this one how it is.

Looks for the week.

I like this look but I could never pull this off without a belt. NOTHING will stay tucked in my jeans without reinforcement.

Can Black Girls Blush?

 

I’m totally into make-up these days. It has been BREAKING MY HEART that this move hasn’t allowed me to make my weekly MAC purchase and I cannot wait till I’m back in a place where I can have my life back (another post entirely). I like wearing a natural look; I haven’t crossed over into anything SnAzZy quite yet (I’m scheduled for a MAC gift card for my bday though YES!). I’ve been getting pretty good with my technique but one thing I CANNOT seem to get the basics for is blush.

I currently own:

(Left) – Get-Away Bronze Frost Powder Blush and (right) – Petticoat Mineralize Skin Finish blush. Applying the golden blush isn’t too hard because even if I don’t “apply it correctly'” it’s gold. It cannot look bad! LOL! But the petticoat…

What's My Style

Can you put your style into words? I can't. I don't even know if I have style (HAHA)!! Some days I walk out of the house looking like one thing and the next day I can look like a totally different person. I regularly browse LOOKBOOK and just look at other people's outfits. Here are a few that I liked

I didn't mean for this post to be so huge but my computer is broken and I don't know how to post on blogger forreal; I usually use Window's Blog Writer. Anyways, if you could put your style into words what would you say?

While I was sitting at home BORED TO DEATH, I was on their site and saw a few things I liked:

How Do I Dress For Cold Weather??

Lately, I have a thing for sheer tops, leather jackets, and military styled boots. While looking around on Shop Style I realized that I might not be able to wear these types of items because it's going to be UFCKING COLD in the DMV!!! Either way, I like these individual pieces...I might just take the L on that top ;-)

I Love Getting Nailed

So I know I'm the most bootlegged blogger in America but every time get going good [blogging] something else derails me and I have to put it on the back burner. Lately it's been studying for this LSAT but don't you worry, it will be over and done with on June 7th and I'm going to be back in action! I've been saving pictures, articles, product information, etc. and I'll have a SLEW of post in the summer. With that being said, I'm here now so I might as well post something right?

I'm a SUCKER for nails! If my nails aren't done I feel like the Earth will stop rotating on its axis and all life as we know it will come to an end. I've recently got into looking for new polish and have found so many polish blogs its CrAzY! I’ve always been one for research so I went to Wikipedia to see what, where, and when on nail polish and look what I found:

The Chinese used a colored lacquer, made from a combination of Arabic gum, egg whites, gelatin and beeswax. They also used a mixture consisting of mashed rose, orchid and impatiens petals combined with alum. This mixture, when applied to nails for a few hours or overnight, leaves a color ranging from pink to red. The Egyptians used reddish-brown stains derived from henna to color their nails as well as the tips of their fingers. Henna dyes are used to draw intricate, temporary designs on hands in Mehndi. Chou Dynasty of 600 B.C., Chinese royalty used gold and silver to enhance their nails. A fifteenth-century Ming manuscript cites red and black as the colors chosen by royalty for centuries previous. The Egyptians used nail color to signify social order, with shades of red at the top. Queen Nefertiti, the wife of the king Akhenaton, colored her finger and toe nails ruby red; Cleopatra favored crimson. Women of lower rank who colored their nails were permitted only pale hues. Incas decorated their fingernails with pictures of eagles. It is unclear how the practice of coloring nails progressed following these beginnings. Portraits from the 17th and 18th centuries include shiny nails. By the turn of the 19th century, nails were tinted with scented red oils and polished or buffed with a chamois cloth, rather than simply painted. In addition, English and US 19th century cookbooks contained directions for making nail paints. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, women still pursued a polished, rather than painted, look by massaging tinted powders and creams into their nails, then buffing them shiny. One such polishing product sold around this time was Graf’s Hyglo nail polish paste. Some women during this period painted their nails with clear, glossy varnish applied with a camel-hair brush. When automobile paint was created around 1920, it inspired the introduction of colored nail enamels. SOURCE

I just got bought some new colors today and I am crunk juicy JUICE about using them next week. LORD willing I will post pics next week but knowing me; I'm lying. lol

Turn Off the Lights

I've never been big on labels. I'm more of a practical shopper. I love thrift store and sales but if I see something I like and NEED (lol) I don't care if it's used or couture (prolly not but) I WILL own it. This is some new stuff from I'm feeling from Louis Vuitton designed by Stephen Sprouse.

This is just a pic that includes a mixture of his designs from a recent showing. I wouldn't wear it but I like how it looks. Especially the make-up.

I love the HELL out of this locket. I can deal with this glowing in the dark. I'd be afraid that it got snatched at ESSO's but the effect would be cool.

Who couldn't use glow in the dark Louis bangles?! These would look hot in the dark. I jut love the concept for small accessories and these are dope.

I really like this stuff and I'm going to keep up with it. Hopefully I can find something I can purchase. I'd LOVE to own one of these two items but Xan CANNOT drop a dime on charms.
