*NeW LovEs*

After having an emotional breakdown, receiving the sweetest message from one of my besties, and officially cutting of ties with a particular male from the past I feel refreshed. Sooo back 2 Business on Staying Fresh, Fly and Funky!! Okay so whats not a better recover method than Fly pair of shoes?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Okay really who needs companionship when you have such chic shoes you can slip on your feet?! My sis surprised me when she came up with these pair of Boutique 9 strappy snakeskin sandals!!! I love them!! the very next day I wore them to work and my feet felt wonderful!! I have seriously fallen in LOVE!! COMFORTABLE AND CHIC!!! Whats better????

Okay My next love is the ELLE Accessories Magazine. Okay I don't know If I'm slow but as Iwas wondering through BArnes & Nobles the other day I saw a glimpse of this magazine and completely stopped in my tracks! I live off of accessories (except bags which I'm trying to get better!) But Shoes and earrings are such a deadly combination by themselves!! If you can check it out ..There is def. alot of hot items and looks throughout the magazine.

I love the boots by the way!

Alright also when I was rummaging through Barnes & Nobles I found Fabulosity!! Okay this book is hilarious. You can literally hear Kimora as hse gives you advice on empowering women in the Fashion and Business World. I love Kimora just because of the simple fact she knows what she wants and is not ashamed to make people take her ideas..even i fthey like it or not ..Lol!

Most Random but Im addicted to these little suckers!!! These Are sooo good toastes with a spread of regular cream cheese..mmm tastey!!! and they're soo cute.

God BleSS!

"EXILE" This ShOW!!!

Sooo yesterday after watching the oh so surprising finale of The Hills..Note* They did Audrina wrong*( I know I'm a sucker for the show ...and every other fake reality show) But as the finale ended I was greeted by the ignorance of today's youth! Sooooo this foolish preview began with one of the females mildly retarded girls who were on Sweet Sixteen (Every person on that show was out of line except Teyana Taylor!) But anyways but the preview continues to show clips of her acting like a brat with no common sense. Once these clips were panned to her father who just seemed oh so irate that he created this ungrateful monster. As a lesson he sits her down and tells her he is sending her away....Long Pause.....dun dun dun ..AFRICA! "OH MY GOD! If you loved me you wouldn't send me there!" this comment literally wanted to throw my Boutique 9 heel through that damn television! Excuse my language but I can truly only take so much. The next clip is her in mud huts, pailing out water. PAUSE please do not get me wrong there are beautiful people of color in Africa who do still live in traditional huts and a more traditional style of lifestyles. I love and respect they're culture to the highest degree. My problem is that why in the world would you send little "Becky" to a stereotypical area in Africa where people already assume thats all it has to offer!! why couldn't they sent him to the city ..yes I said the city, yes with buildings and Ohh yeah and vehicles! You can still become exposed to other cultures and not perpetuate stereotypes. i'm extremely tired of ignorant Americans Asking me oh you've been to Africa.." so there's Tiger, lions And huts right?" No dumbass, How about you grab a book and educate yourself past what the media feeds you!!Im sincerely too through! Africa is such a rich and innovative continent but always gets down played. It is extremely sad how our society has come to agreement and that being dumb is cute. And Cee-lo daughter needs to be checked. Her father comes out with such thought provoking albums and she still thinks its attractive to try to assimilate in a society that will never truly accept her for the heritage that she is ashamed from..Sorry just had 2 vent .. Oh..God Bless!

I'm brinGinG "Seventies" BaCk

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I am ALL SMILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY? Because Summertime Chi is quickly approaching! Thank God! After experiencing the worst winter and winds that gave me whiplash I am adoring this 74 degree weather! So summertime is approaching quickly which means I just naturally feel better and more relaxed in life. Is it just me or does summertime always puts you in an Ol' School mood?right now Im jamming to the best group ever_ Earth, Wind & Fire belting out September. So I always told my parentals that I was born in the wrong era. It also doesn't help since my besties are oldheads to, especially my girl mimi who knows every ol' school song recorded!Soo Clearly If you have God's gift of sight you can see that 80's Fashion has hit its all time peak! But was that the only decade that was hot?...Okay the 80's were fresh but the 70's embodied the word FlY! I am loving the 70's style vintage and inspired pieces! Who wouldn't want to rock a decade where the fashion that you rocked represented you and just freedom period? So i have taken upon myself to have the 70's as my inspiration fro my summertime wardrobe. From halters, mini skirts, flowy dresses, wide legs, leotards, high collar long sleeve dresses, high boots, sparkly accessories, I'm even going to splash color in here and there, Oh and how ca I forget how much fun im going to have playing with the hairstyles of my glorious fro;) I told my friend at work I would love for her to make me a wideleg halter jumpsuit, Hold on thats sounds random but its going to be put together correct! You just have to respect the versatility the 70's brought from the glam look of ms. diana RosS to the powerful demeanor of sistah Angela Davis. The 70's allowed you to become what ever avenue you wanted to take in life. My girls Ms Jill ScoTt And Erykah Badu( Which I have Tickets for her concertMay 30th...EEk!!!) have already displaye their love of the stylish 7o's. Its must more than enjoying the style of the past but really looking at what all aspects came from liberation to advancement of our peoplt to accepting our natural beauty ( to the point where caucasions felt the nees to make afro wigs..hmm tat tat) it was just a time of advancement. Now its time to take what they given us and put a twist on it and building upon it.Oh I added some ol' school songs to my playlist 2 just to get you in the right mindset..Lo..God Bless!

Goodmorning! Soo I was at work the other day and between getting frustrated with go backs and aiding every wife to be pick out a dress for their bachelorette party..I found time to try on the flyest dress we carry! Okay, everytime I was going into work I always told myself I was going to slip it on and see how it fits. Sooo yesterday was the perfect day(oh thats what I told myself!) So when things began to slow down I snatched a size 4 and headed to the fitting rooms! I def. shouldn't have tried it on...Why? Because I fell in LOVE with it! I loved the layer of the dress, and it has a corset fitting so it kept everything tight and in place:) I loved the vibe it gave off as edgy but still classic with the lace detailing towards the bottom of the dress. Soo you're asking whats the problem? well A- I don't have an event to go to in this dress..Hmm Im sure I can get around that . Soo thats it right...oH no How did I forget i don't have an extra $518 dollars laying around:( but if I did let me tell you I would rock this dress foolishly hard! www.bcbg.com Oka more Fashion Posts are coming God Bless!!

Sooo as I almost broke my neck to get to my last midterm of the week, I was greeted by this....

It was the Immigration March that took place in Chicago and ended in downtown Chicago. I heard about the March early on the news in the morning so I knew exactly what it was. I was just surprised that they were walking towards my apartment as soon as I was leaving. So I thought it was an interesting pic..its the Photo Of The WeeK... God Bless!

HAiR GooDieS

Good Morning God's Blessings! So I rolled out of bed today and have time to post..Once again I should be doing something with pertaining to midterms but I'll pull through either way. Okay so beauty update. I know you're saying the title says Hair GooDies And NoT Food Goodies so why is their a can Of CriscO?The two new beauty items are dealing with the love of my life...my hair!! Okay so lack of moisture was killing me. I would step out in the harsh winds of Chicago and it would blow each drop of moisture out of my hair! It was pure foolishness! So I stumbled on an odd tip from UrbanCurlz.blogspot.com and I couldn't be happier! Okay everyone you need to invest in a tub of Miss Jessie's Buttercreme and I didn't object but my wallet sure did. Soo I had to go with a cheaper route called ......Crisco! I know, I know it sounds kind of crazy and sounds as if its setting us back a couple years but really think about it. I know many people who used Crisco on their skin and its an all natural product so your hair soaks it up! When I bought the can for 2 something I literally stared at the white greasy content for a good 3-5 minutes debating if this was a good idea. Oh it was an excellent idea especially if you're on a budget. I put a little dab in and I'm not lying I had moisture for the rest of the day! Since I finally found a nightly routine...I fingerpart my hair and probably do a good 8-10 twists, tie a silk scarf and take my behind to bed. So I started to use Crisco on my twists to keep moisture in my hair through the night but thats not all......

Soo I had to run into work to pick up a very chic black pencil skirt that was originally $106 and knocked down to $28 ...I love my discount! But anyway I was sidetracked by the sweet area of Carols Daughter section( I promise, That area is an addiction!) But any way I was sniffling through the conditioners and the sweet sistah working there brokedown which one would work better with my texture. Pause ..I think the faces of peopl who see my hair out is priceless:) Its as if they want tO ASK " How did Godnstick so many coarse, thick strands on one scalp?!"..Ok see I have ADD even when I write! but yeah I ended up picking up the Black Vanilla Leave-In Conditioner.. Ohh it gives off a warm scent that I adore! So I sprayed a small amount on my loose pinned p puff and I soon realized shrinkage but my curl pattern was on point! My curls were defined and soft! So I usually use the Crisco for my nightly routine and spray the leave in conditioner as my morning routine after I style it..okay thats all my hair secrets...God Bless!!
