Just a Note...

Since I am on break from school, I am reading a book called Emotional Bullshit. It's great so far, but I can't wait to do a review of it for you guys. I just figured I'd write a little note on it to give you something more than "fashion and stuff" to look forward to! Happy Holidays everyone! :)

Stuff My Stocking Please! :-) Part 1

1. Lush Sex Bomb bath bomb

This bath bomb is infused with jasmine absolute and soya milk for a seductive, aromatic bathtime treat. After using this, I doubt if my husband would keep his hands of me! LOL. By the way, I LOVE the color pink and this bath bomb turns the bath water a beautiful shade of peony pink. Sometimes I know I like to feel full of myself, but this would just take me to another level! I'm going to need about 10 of these! ;-)

2. VS Bombshell Eau de Parfum

Ok. This. Scent. Is. So. Sexy! I bought the body mist of this because I don't usually wear perfume because it makes my eyes water a lot, but I think I could work something out with this one! This has to be one of my favorite scents of the year (the other one is Gucci Guilty). There is nothing more to say really except this scent is so compatible with my personality it's scary. I love beautiful, sexy things and getting dressed up and I feel like such a vixen with this on! 

3. Nars Lipgloss in Sandpiper

I absolutely can't live without a good nude lipgloss! Nudes go with every kind of makeup look imaginable. I only wear red every now and then and only if I am wearing dark or neutral colors. However, nudes are my favorite because it actually can draw attention to your lips without looking as if you're trying to draw attention to them. Also, I think lips are more kissable when they don't look overdone. Besides, I'll take Nars and Chanel lip glosses any day.

4. B&BW P.S. I Love You Body Mist

Most of the things on my list have been beauty products so far, but hey, this is what I like. My soror, Jazmin has the lotion to this and once, when we were at a retreat, I kept smelling this wonderful scent on her every time she washed her hands. I was like, "What is that! I love it!" I finally saw that she put this lotion on her hands after every single hand washing. I've been in love with it since. I'm not usually into B&BW beauty products. I'm more of a VS girl...especially VS Pink. What I'm always after in B&BW is their portables air fresheners (which I keep in my car). Anyway, I HAVE to have this now! :-)

5. Almond Cookie Shea Souffle'

Sometimes I feel like my skin doesn't love me in the winter. :-( I make my own body scrub around this time of year and I use glycerin soaps (because they aren't drying). Yet, I have yet to find a really great moisturizer to sooth and calm my really, really dry skin. Sometimes my skin is so dry, it hurts. I use Eucerin Intensive Plus lotion, but it feels like Elmer's glue to me. It's the only lotion I've found that works. However, I love body butters but I don't usually get them because I never bother with shopping around to see which ones work best for me. Well, thanks to numerous trips to Sephora over the years, I discovered the Carol's Daughter line. I love Almond Cookie and it contains natural ingredients! This stuff smells so yummy, I wanna eat it! Nah, I'll just leave it up to my skin to drink up all the nutrients from this good stuff! I'll enjoying SMELLING yummy...so that I feel good enough to eat. LOL!

We are all REBELS!

Today was the FIRST day of snow here in ATL! I have winter...mainly bc I hate to be cold...but somehow I've become really fond of winter clothes. Odd eh? Anyway, I wore muted colors today in black and olive, but I figured since snowy days are usually wet and gloomy here, I'd pick up the pace with lighter shades of neutrals. I'm inspired by this outfit. It incorporates a few things I have on my wish list...sweater pants, a vintage Chanel bag, and a trapper hat. This one is too cute! I hope you enjoy! Btw, if you are reaaaallly paying attention to my wist listing...there you have it; a few clues! ;-)

Shaniqua Wright: A Gorgeous Muse!

Good evening Pretty Little Things! Today's muse is my style-sister and good friend Shaniqua! She's absolutely gorgeous! My favorite thing about her look is her hair. She's natural and the great thing about it is she can actually style it however she wants...curly, straight, braided, twisted, whatever! (not to mention she has perfect skin). Anyway, how could you not LOVE her vintage blazer? This is the perfect outfit for a summer-fall transition outfit. The print on the blazer makes the white color wearable for fall and it adds a lot of texture to her look. Her pointed-toe flats are to die for and are the epitome of pretty meets comfort. I wonder if she knows, but I have to get my hands on those rose earrings of hers. LOL. 

She's a very smart girl with a smart style to match! This is how a future chiropractor expresses her personality! Girl, you rocked it!

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.

What I wore today (15 Nov...Happy Bday Grandma! You're my muse! R.I.P.)

Today was a REALLY rainy day! I needed to make myself feel really good in this horrible weather!

I put on a new sweater which easily became my favorite today. It's not too fitted, tunic length, and not too bulky. I can layer it if I want.

Turquoise is one of my favorite colors which explains the nail color. I tend to wear all my bold colors on my nails, eyes, or lips as opposed to my clothing. 

Also, It was kinda tough taking photos alone. I ended up with a MILLION pics in my little digital camera because I didn't like a lot of the ones I took. 

I hope all you Pretty Little Things absolutely love my look today! I find inspiration everywhere!

This is also a tribute to my grandmother. I've always adored her style and gracefulness. She was the one who taught me to always have my hair groomed with soft hands and nails polished. She loved sweaters and bold accessories. Today would have been her 86th birthday. She was awesome and I miss her soo much! I have a jewelry box that still has her scent in it. I'm scared to open it because I'm afraid her scent will go away.  I see so much of her around me that I just know she still hangs out with me in my heart! I love you, MaDear! :-)
