Rainbow Connection
Testing out my Elvis Presley's while I learned to drive a stick shift. After totaled my little red coupe I've decided to get a MINI Cooper. Since most of them are manual transmissions guess I gotta learn how to drive one. I hear its so much fun. So far its just been so confusing...Then off to dinner at Jack's Bistro in Canton. They had macaroni and cheese and chocolate all in one dish! Amazeballs!!

FUReal: DIY Rabbit Fur Vest
Trending these days - #LongFurVest, and thanks to my beloved Ola ( my granny). Her closet is a never ending masterpiece full of classic fashion and revolving style. About two summers ago I snatched this piece from her wardrobe, not willing to pass down her blessing. I was reluctant to take off the fuzzy friend despite the scorching July heat. I didn't care, that bad boy was following me home. Over the years, it has slowly worn on the shoulders, and just last week it dawned on me to cut the sleeves and make a vest!!!! To pay for repairs would have been too much $$$. Taking matters in to my creative hand I did so and revamped the vintage fur. Check out the pics below this fur is FUReal HOTTNESS... Enjoy!!!
Rabbit Fur w/ Black Leather trim
Supplies: a pair of scissors, I should have taken a pic before I cut the sleeves but here they are...use your imagination
This is kind of what it looked like prior to my alternations.
This was the look I was going for.
Please pay no attention to the man with the sign... he's a H8ter!!!lol:)

Lazy Hair :) Senegalese Twist
The Senegalese twists originated from Senegal, West Africa, this style last for many months, but stand out from the crowd. You will definitely turn heads with the Senegalese Twists.The time length is 5 to 6 hours with one stylist at a short to regular length. They will not unravel, even with loose ends. This beautiful style gives you a very different and distinct look from individual braids.
The Low Down on my Twist!
Hair type: Synthetic Kanekalon ($8.00 for FOUR Packs)
Color: 1B/ 33
Time: 10hrs...YIKES >(
Length: 20-24 inches
Style Cost: $80 "AMAZING"
" I don't keep hair in for a long time, but....be assured these bad boys will endure till the end. My goal is to keep them in at least a month (for me that's a stretch).

Mentionable Menswear
A guy in a sweater just does something amazing for my life! Heck, a guy in anything other than a t-shirt gets my goat. This weekend at a bday gathering for a homie, I ran into this sporting young gentleman whom I've been friends with for at least 10 years. Looking pretty fly for a Bmore guy in this shawl neck sweater (my "it" thing for a guy to wear right now,) distressed jeans, and some laid back footwear. I've been instructed to mention that his sneaks are Nike and "not too many ppl know that Nike makes shoes like these"...they must be paying him to say that.
Blue Suede Shoes
I recently stumbled upon a shoe site that I'd never heard of before. I was on Make Me Chic and found some electric blue loafers that I swooned over. Of course they didn't have my size since 7.5 is like the most popular size in America I guess -_-...so I googled the style and found them for super cheap on Zoo Shoo. They also sell apparel and jewelry. Free shipping at all times plus they sent me a coupon for 5% of my next order! Think I might cop the leopard pair as well. Swaggin all day...

Weekend Warrior
This past weekend was my BFF's anniversary of her 21st bday. The ladies stepped out looking splendiferous as per usual for dinner at Dirty Martini in DC. I lost the battery to my Nikon so until I find it or get a new one I'll just have to settle for iPhone pics.
Idk why we all have werewolf eyes in this pic...
Curly girls were in the house!
The bday beauty in an A-line frock from Urban Outfitters, and nude cutouts by Nine West
