New York Fashion week...

So as some of us know New York fashion week started February 9th 2011 and end February 17th 2011, they start at 9am and end at 9pm. How interested is the average New Yorker in Fashion week?If they are anything like me they get pretty excited. Unfortunately getting into seeing one of the shows is not as easy as one may think. you have to know someone that knows someone and i got confirmation today when asking someone how THEY got into the shows, i was basically told... you have to know somebody that knows somebody.
Not being able to get into the shows kinda takes the steam out of fashion week for some of us. So every year I simply watch the recaps on TV and wish i was lucky enough to visit the "tents".
Ironically for some reason this season i don't feel fashion week is "all the rave" as it has been seasons passed.... maybe its the horrible weather we have had to endure or maybe its the idea that the "average" working new yorker is more worried about working, parenting, going to school, and/or paying the bills.
I guess with this reality my wanting to go is a bit shallow

. Shallow as it is its still on my "TO DO LIST". Maybe I will get a shot to go to the spring 2011 fashion week who knows....

Guess who's back

Again... yes im back and i PROMISE i will be blogging more. Ive missed blogging. life kind of took over and my days turned to nights. Ive been working hard on my accessories and getting my work out there. I am blessed to have loyal customers!

for my first post back. Here is my shoe of the week:

These were given to me by a good friend for Christmas. They are the bizznus!! lol

Who shouldnt wear white after Labor day???

When is after Labor day actually? When can one wear white again? Who came up with this rule? Well I may get a ticket from the "fashion gods" because Labor day was Monday and I wore stark white jeans, with AX white shades. I have never understood this "fashion rule" I LOVE my winter whites. I think it compliments my chocolate complexion *bats lashes* (lol). I think i want to protest this rule... Wait I think I did today.
Moral of the story?
Wear what you want!

MY shoe of the week

Hey all, i've been bitter since i broke my toe so i haven't been posting MY shoe of the week. These were a pair of the last shoes i wore prior to breaking my toe.
I love these things they are hella sexy. the heel is 51/2 inches. My only issue is the back strap of one of the shoes keep falling off. besides that, THEY ROCK!!!

Little black...

Shoe... Just like the little black dress i think this is a MUST in all women wardrobes. There are many variations of the little black shoe, the classic black pump is a MUST HAVE. This shoe is so versatile, it can be worn on an interview, to dinner, to work, to an after work gathering. It has both a classy and fashionable appeal. The next Must have is the peep toe. These too have the appeal of many aspects. What is important about the little black shoe is the simplicity of it. No flowers, no rhinestones, not glitz, just a black shoe with a nice size heel. I personally own many pairs of black pumps and peep toe, different brands, different heel size, leather and patent leather.

These are 2 pair of my favorites. The first is My guess pumps. I purchased these a few years ago and i love how they feel on my feet. The heel is 4 1/2 and they make me feel sooooo sexy. The next pair are my Jessica Simpson peep toe which i also have in patent leather. These are all so sexy. i love them. so much so... I had to get it in leather and patent leather. the heel on these are 5 inches.
if i dont have a pair i suggest you go out and get a pair.

Sale alert

MY shoe of the week

Ive shown some of my FB friends these already but THESE are MY shoes of the week!

shoe that make me go YUM of the week

These are Christian Louboutin's Maggie pumps. They are so sexy and available at Barneys. The color is listed as Lilac and Navy.

what's the point of wearing pants if they are going to be hanging off your A**

This is a horrible and never ending "trend". Sadly like many things the people continuing this trend dont know when/how/or why this started. Knowing that it was first something that was practiced in jail should warrant those who wear their pants low to stop. It is said that men did this is prison to show their sexual availability. it is also said that this trend started b/c belts were not allowed which lead to sagging pants. Im inclined to choose the latter but am intrigued by the idea of the first one and the reaction that one may have when hearing this.

Its such a disgusting fashion choice. i especially HATE when i see a guy wearing their pants so low i can see their dirty dingy underwear. uggggg

*vent over*

I love this lady ( i was a closeted *is that a word,lol* fan for YEARS)

She is looking a bit pale But even looking "scruffy" she looks good. I am more inclinedto like her "everyday wear" over her "professional" wear that her mom picks out.
I want them shoes!!!

There was a prom quess chosen for the Prom BUT my winner did not win.

She is my choice. There were some very beautiful dressed women but she stood out to me. Very classy and sheik. she gets my vote.

Pull Your damn pants up!!!

Yesterday while going to the store i come across these to people, a man and a woman, the man is walking with his shirt up ( it was a bit hot). This reveled his pants, they were underneath his but cheeks YES underneath. His dingy blue boxer- brief pants were showing for all to see. he was walking with his legs so wide and looked like a complete jack ass. I dont understand why guys do this. I don't understand even more how that female could walk along side him. I can not and will not be seen in the street with someone who feels the need to wear their pants so low. That's just tacky, and it looks very uncomfortable. I really hate seeing this... uggggg

She looks great

I'm happy to see her looking better then usual... she can afford to gain a pound or 2 but she is looking good.

I want these shoes..... Maybe someone will get them as a graduation gift for me. :-D

I am a Vintage Whore

I absolutely LOVE vintage clothing, pocket books and even shoes ( even though i am YET to get a pair of vintage shoes, I want some black and whites). Often ppl may not understand my style but i'm ok with that. I have a LOT of vintage pocket books,shirts , hats, and dresses. I just ordered some new shorts and such recently. I am looking for new websites b/c i think i am bored with the few that I have. Vintage items range from non expensive to very expensive and i love it all.

When what you are wearing is what someone else is wearing

You're at home putting the finishing touches on your outfit, KNOWING that you look cute, you do a final mirror check. Your girls tell you how cute you look when you meet up to them, there is no stopping you. You arrive at the club still feeling like that hotness but you glance over to your left and see.... Your dress. You tell your girls, " Oh well, i look better anyway" Your girls agree even if its not true. Then for some strange reason you keep passing the girl with "your" dress on.

This has never happened to me... I think i would be so pissed,lol. I mean i know there is no dress made for me and only me BUT man i would e upset. I have seen doubles in the club 4 and its kind of funny...

Cheap -Vs- Inexpensive

YES there is a difference. I HATE cheap looking stuff... I don't care how much you paid for it the style and material can make an item look cheap. Cheap shoes are a definite NONO. if you buy shoes with a plastic heel the guess what IT WILL MORE THEN LIKELY BREAK! Your feet are important, put care in what you put in them. Spend a little money on buying shoes that wont hurt your feet.
Cheap cloths. If u wear something and it doesn't suit your body it will look cheap 9 times out of 10. Step one. check the material of the clothing, step 2 try it on and make sure your body type doesn't cheapen it... i know that sounds crazy but believe me it goes a long way. Step 3 (if possible) get an honest opinion. NOT from someone that has a hard time being honest but from someone that will be honest no matter what!

Inexpensive is something that doesn't cost much BUT can be rocked and no one else is the wiser. I am not a label Whore even though i have many labels. I like what i like, it doesn't matter how much it cost. I have a dress that cost 550 next to a dress that cost 40 bucks right next to each other and you cant not tell the difference. You dont have to spend a ton of money to look nice just take the time out to do so.

Oh and just because something is instyle doesnt mean it's for everyone. leggings NOT FOR EVERYONE... head bands NOT FOR EVERYONE ( im speaking of the Indian style ones) Belly shits NOT FOR EVERYONE. poffy skirts NOT FOR EVERYONE... Low rise jeans NOT FOR EVERYONE ( crack is wack). Dress for your body type and no one else. I am not one that goes with whats in i just like what I like. but some people try so hard and do such a bad job because they are trying to keep up with trends.

Leaving your home looking presentable

Today as i was going on my walk I strolled pass these young ladies. I would they were at least 15 years old. Usually I take my music with me when I walk but I decided not to for today. Well these young ladies were talking pretty loud and it caused me to look. ALL THREE of them had head scarves on. I was so disgusted. I couldn't understand why they would think wearing a head scarf in public was something to do.When I say scarf I am not speaking of the scarves that are worn for fashion usually silk, I am talking about the aunt Jamima(sp) scarves ( is that pc?)

Now of course this is not the first time i have seen this but it probed me to ask. Do people not care how they look in public. Yes these young ladies were children , but isn't that where it starts? As teenagers aren't they very conscious about what they are wearing and how they look? I am the first to admit, i dress down when i go to the local stores because I like to be left alone ( even though this does not work) BUT dressed down is totally different from dressing poorly. I always tell my son to make sure he is neat when he goes outside no matter where he is. No matter how much we may try to deny it appearance is important.

I think it is important to leave your house looking like your always going somewhere. My mom always told me you never know who you will bump into or when you will pass out (lol) so always look your best. To this day I try my best to look presentable.
