My Obsession!

2011-10-04T15:00:00.001-07:00

So one of my many obsessions for accessories is Chanel Jewelry. I love all the bulky gold, chain link necklaces etc..I always say, "when I make it, collecting Chanel jewelry will be my guilty pleasure." Although wearing a gold chain link choker is and has always been another signature look of mine, the pendant chain is something I've searched high and low for, but never actually found "The One" that was good quality and good looking enough for me. I've always adored Chanel's tho. So I finally did it, I purchased this Chanel chain here at the bottom, and I'm sooo in love with it!! No other chain could compare in my eyes, I just had to have it! Next time, I'm aiming for that top piece I Adore...good thing about the Chanel chains is that you can also wear them as a belt..SWEET!!!! :)

"What a MAN Should BE"

2011-08-09T06:18:00.001-07:00

So I was on Necole Bitchie this morning and came across this post..Boris Kodjo was giving insight on 'What a MAN should BE" via twitter. I thought it was a great way to motivate some of you guys to get your shit together! lol NO PUN INTENDED! I just thought it was something we all could appreciate :). This post hit the nail on the head comepletely!

"What a MAN Should BE"

“- Embrace your imperfections

- Laugh at yourself. A woman likes a man who doesn’t take himself too serious.

- Fix or build something with your hands. It’ll show her that you are capable of taking care of a home.

- Know how to cook and clean. It’ll show her that you don’t need her but that you WANT her.

- Get your passport and travel. A man needs to see the world.

- Communicate without cursing. You don’t need to curse to make a point. Cursing shows lack of substance.

- In bed, take care of your woman first. When she’s satisfied you are DA MAN!!!

- Stay in shape. It’ll show her that you care about yourself and therefore are able to care about her.

- Take care of your responsibilities. Anything less is unacceptable. A boy is irresponsible, not a man.

- Open her her door and pull out her chair. It shows her that you honor traditional values. Trust me, she will do the same.

- Be present! Take her in with your eyes and ears. Your attention will make her feel loved and she won’t ever nag you.

- Read a f—ing book! (Sorry, violation of ‘no cursing’ rule) But seriously, ignorance is a major turn-off. Book on tape will do.

- Have an ambition. You don’t need to be rich but you need to show direction and motivation. Keep a job!

- Last one for today: Treat a woman the way you would want your daughter to be treated. Anything less is unacceptable.”

GemSuits coming soon!

Me, Eternal, and Finesse..

This past weekend we celebrated my boyfriends birthday at this strip club in Jersey called Jersey Girls. I hosted the party, and since I was hosting it, I thought it would be the perfect time to debut something Ive been working on.

Currently, Ive been working on coming out with a line of catsuits..As most of you already know, that has been a signature look of mine since way back when. Ive come across a few great ones in my day, but never quite as I like. Any who, for that reason I thought it would be kool to design a line of my own, for all the girls like me that adore them as much as I do!

Above is one of the first pieces of my collection, this suit is called the "Orange Dream- Gemsuit." It will come in a few other colors. I love the chain detail, and the low back. Its Supa Sexy and sure to leave a lasting impression :)! Be on the lookout as the Gemsuits will be available to guys soon!

Take me to Paris!!

Black Men's Magazine Release Party

Last week I was invited to attend the Black Men's Magazine Release Party at Covet with my girl Ms. Evanna.

This is one of my favorite suits because the back is so sexy, not to mention I happen to have a great back for it :p

Any who, I mentioned on facebook that I was gonna Trade Mark the catsuit because for those of you that know me, you know that its been a signature look of mine before it became an up and coming trend. I'm talking since the elementary days. Anyway, my comment about Trade Marking the suit was LITERAL Not subliminal. Look out for a line of suits by Yours Truly!!

NYE 2011

2011-01-10T12:21:00.000-08:00

NYE we usually decide to stay local with all the craziness of the city. We had a good time except for the choice of music at this spot. Its a never ending dilemma for us whenever we decide to stay local, every corny ass DJ around here always chooses to play the same ol wack joints (ex Fat man scoop, and Shots, shots shots smh etc..) when there is soo much good NEW music out! That's the reason I enjoy parlaying at the strip club, their music is ALWAYS on point! I think I could do a better job! Any who, here are a few pics from that night!

GEM Trend

2011-01-10T08:08:00.000-08:00

Statement necklaces and studs have been an on going trend of mine for years now. I've always been a fan of the statement necklace especially the gold link choker etc..now it's every where which is a kool way to see how fashion foward Ive been with alot different things. I think great pieces add the extra umph to your wear especially to a simple outfit. For great statement pieces and studs check out MY PINK LUSH, where I get most of my accessories from!

Kim Kardashian Premieres New Song at TAO Las Vegas

2011-01-04T07:14:00.000-08:00

So, a couple of days ago, I posted a few pics on my FB page about how Kim K was becoming a singer all of a sudden. How I feel about this is, Clearly she is not a Singer, she bothers me because I feel like she's "trying" so hard to be JLO her idol. I mean, I believe that any singer should have a certain swag about them that she doesn't have to me. Did ya'll see her on DWTS? NO rythme WHATSOEVER! How can you sing when you don't even have rythme, those two go hand and hand to me. Lets face it, Jlo wasn't the best singer to me, but she definitely knew how to entertain the hell out of you, and that's the difference! As I stated before, the crazy part of all this is that on the strength of her following, she'll probably do well smh. There's so much REAL talent out there, and you have this fool that's making it harder for all the real hard working less fortunate to get their foot in the door!

Any who, this song "Turn it up" is Kim Kardashians first single produced by the Dream, and is such a flat ABC kinda song. It's not horrible, its just Simple, and catchy as most of the words repeat itself. Definitely something that's gonna bang out in the club.

Thought this was a pretty Kool way to switch up your style of nail wthout needing an artist. I've been meaning to try this look but haven't gotten around to it yet. Seems pretty easy to do. I'll keep you updated when I try this, most likely this week!
