fallTRENDS: Shoes

“I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot!”
- Marilyn Monroe

 There are three things I can not get enough of 1) shoes 2) more shoes 3) even more shoes. If I could birth a pair I probably would. My obsession with them is that serious. I love all shoes from flats to heels, they all are special in their own way. My number one rule when it comes to shoe...If you are going to wear heels, WEAR THEM, meaning go as high as you can go. Me, personally, I am a 5inch and higher kinda girl. Anything under 5inches has no purpose in my world. NO OFFENSE. Something about high(er) heels changes the whole attitude. You can be sexy, classy, sassy and overall DDG (drop dead gorgeous) with the right pair of heels. Oh this doesn't mean neglect the outfit, its a team they both work together. Honestly, what is one without the other? No rush I'll wait.....yea didn't think so. With Fall quickly approaching us the footwork must be RIGHT! I will give a little Fall preview of some shoes in my opinion are must-haves or at least I would love to have in my closet. And price shouldn't even be an issue of course famous desinger brands will be expensive but there are always shoes designed similar at a lower cost.

When I sit in the house if I am not doing homework (ain't nothing like a smart chick) I am listening to MUSIC. I couldn't stress enough the love I have for MUSIC. I deal with a lot of situations in my life through MUSIC. Some I probably shouldn't because I will be in my bag of feelings (emotions). With that being said I am a LOVE SONG/SLOW JAM fanatic. Something about that MUSIC does something for me. I love to listen to vocals. And on that note I will tell you who my favorite underrated singer is...JOELLE JAMES! I use to call her my favorite unsigned singer but she was recently signed to Chris Brown's label (yes that is her on "Leave the Club" from CB's latest mixtape). When I heard I was so excited like I know her....Side Note, I would love for her to be my "best friend forever" anyone know her tell her I am probably her biggest fan. I am glad she is finally getting some credit she deserves. Y'all homegirl can blow. Her voice is strong and she carries a note with the best of them. I am patiently waiting for her album to drop I will be at the closet Target picking it up. I would never lead my peeps wrong with MUSIC, trust me on this, she is a STAR!

fashionSALUTE: Rachel Roy



I have decided every week I will post a fashionSALUTE. This is a post dedicated to those in fashion I feel have made a difference and have fabulous collections. I am team RACHEL ROY as of lately. Its crazy to me I am so in love with fashion but I don't have a favorite designer. I am a fan of all designers in different ways. But Ms. Roy has stolen my heart. She worked her way from the bottom to the top. And in my opinion she still doesn't get the credit she deserves. A lot of people are like huh? Rachel Ray you mean the chef....ummm....NO! I mean the fashion designer ROY. She started her career with the famous urban line Rocawear (Jay-z and Dame Dash) as an intern. In 2005 she launched her own self titled line. What I love about her collection? It is ready to wear yet unique enough to turn heads. Her collections are not limited she doesn't just design clothes but shoes, bags and jewelry. Rachel by Rachel Roy is what I want to find in my closet every morning when I wake up. Along with designing her fierce collections she is also a philanthropist. I love to see individuals in high places giving back and helping those in need. .....Side Note: "Dear Santa, the Huddson wedge bootie with the leopard pony that covers the entire bootie (5inch heel and 1inch platform) will be a wonderful present under my tree this year. THANKS in advance." Ok I get side tracked easily but this week my fashionSALUTE is presented to the talented and GORGEOUS Rachel Roy.



Santa look!!!







Love Affair: Fashion &Music [[EXPOSED]]

Hey ya'll, I've decided to start a blog, a fishbowl size portion will be about fashion with a shot glass size about music and a slice of lime size portion will be about my life as I know it...it won't be targeted to all audiences just those who enjoy having a love affair with fashion and music as I do. (and yes I did refer to the sections with an alcohol comparison).This blog will be most of my thoughts on a daily basis. Honestly I shouldn't say daily because I don't know if I will blog everyday but I will try. Then again, some days I might blog more than once. WARNING: My thoughts are random!! So bare with me this might take some getting use to but I am super excited to have a place to talk about fashion, music and my life.
