Beautiful Words....

Remember Ladies:

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him.
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on.
One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU...
The one who turns to his friends and says, that's her...

*Sigh*

Miranda's Shoe "Lust" List

Happy Holidays, readers! Ok, so I've been browsing (of course) and I've seen these insane shoes..loves all of them. Anybody reading, I wear a size 7. Thanks :)

I'm crying as I post this, (lol not really) because I sooooo want these booties! Meet the Luxury Rebel Jackie bootie...the bootie is adorned with studs and has a metal heel. Wear themwith your All Black Everything...and you'll def turn heads!

Love them! The Carvela Gambia bootie is the perfect shoe with the studded fringe and peep toe. Love the patent leather trim. I would wear these with black skinnies and a solid turtle neck. Viole!

Oweee! This are some bad shoes! Carvela Airtight bootie are just what you need in your collection of shoes. I love that they lace up and have a gold contrasting heel. Wear these and you'll have plenty of haters...I bet!

Like?

Rent the Runway

Have a special occasion to attend? Need a HOT dress, but don't want to spend a gazillion dollars on it because you're only going to wear it once? Well, Rent the Runway is for you!

The concept is simple: pick a dress, wear it, and return it! Don't worry about the sizing, because they'll send you two sizes just in case your first choice doesn't fit. And don't freak on taking it to the dry cleaners, they will do that when you return it. Invite your friends and recieve a $20 gift card!

This is a great concept for the modern day girl on a budget, but  who still needs to look her best! It immediately made me think of Jennifer Hudson's character in "Sex and the City" when she rented that Louise Vuitton bag! lol.

They offer a bunch of designers from Herve Leger to Moschino Cheap and Chic, and Badgley Mischka, and more. Renting prices start from $50 up to $150, and you can pick for whatever occasion.

Will you give it a go?

The Artist is Wale.. he is a Nigerian-American artist from the DMV area.. The song is called "Diary" off his Attention Deficit album.. after hearing this song I'm sure you will see his talent and become a fan..shout out to Wale...

Don't forget to Mute the music on our playlist below...

"Rather lose love than to move on never knowing what it feel like,

Short days, long nights,

By the phone, no call,

Need a clear mind 'cause I been blind,got me goin' down that road,

Heart made of stone,

Far away from home,

Black woman you cold,

Every problem you ever had with another man i gotta face,

Started off on thin ice,

im still here but i cant skate,

Slow sink, cant breath, no remorse, dont think,

Listen to your friend get another man for a minute then repeat,

Queen, you deserve the title but she reject what i give, while she nurse the wounds by them,

Tried them didnt work,
Got Impossible standards
Nothin I do's gonna work

Diary of a black girl"

Party In the USA

Hey guys! How was everyone's week?? Sorry for the major delay in posting! I was personally being extra lazy! But anywho... it snowed here this Saturday and it's beggining to look a lot Christmas...... haha okay that was corny! But yeah the snow was pretty..I hate it when the snow prevents you from getting places though!

So we went to a cocktail birthday party for the beautiful Doreen! Here are some pics..the event was so intimate and lovely. From champagne..to chocolate covered strawberries..shrimp..I'm so glad we stopped by to make her birthday memorable!

The cake was soooooo goooood..Key Lime Cake yumm..and the cupcakes were delicious!

Happy Birthday Doreen!!

Here shoes were too cute! (Bakers)

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to see more of the fabulousness of Doreen and Co at their wonderful blog 4AcesDate!

La Belle Rochelle...

Her name is Rochelle, and she is a fabulous girl. I actually met her randomly one night at a party, and we have kept in touch since then; she is a mutual friend. She interns at WUSA9 News, and like me and Yvonne, she is making her moves in life. Loves her for that!

Anyway, she has a self-titled blog, and she speaks some truthful words. I admire her for her honesty and realness, because everything she says is true! She discusses everything from relationships to friends and the social world. I would recommend checking her out and reading some of her mind-thumping opinions.

A few of my fav snippets:

 Friends-How Many of Us Have Them?

• "We then started talking about current friends and how sometimes there’s an underlying competition between friends…especially when it comes to success and dating."
• "There are friends out there that only form friendships with certain types of people to make themselves look and feel better about themselves. This is some BS!" (Yvonne, lets not get on this one!)
• "Call me old-fashioned, but I like having friends that look differently, like different things, have opposing opinions and the list goes on and on.
• "Unfortunately, this conversation also made me look at some friendships Ive had over the years, and wonder if all of my friends have become my friends for the right reasons."

You Cant Change Me So Please Stop Trying...Thanks  

..."We started talking about a young girl that he mentors who is dealing with the “wrong men”. She actually has a young man that is chasing after her who is great, but shes not attracted to him. This gentleman (let me name him Mr. Q for now) looks like the perfect catch on paper…good job, great personality, humor, educated, driven, etc. What more could a girl ask for? Well Mr. Q tells me that unfortunately this young woman is dealing with a man that is simply put all wrong for her. He treats her like crap, isn’t driven at all, doesn’t help her in any way, shape or form. So Mr. Q then begins to explain to me the difference between the “Real Deal” and a “Situation”....

Look at her blog for the rest!!! www.labellerochelle.wordpress.com

Speak your mind,

Duffy's "Stepping Stone"

OMG! This song is so pretty (and sooooo damn true!!!)  I actually like Duffy; she has a unique voice and great lyrics to which people can relate.

The song is an empowering and inspiring song to tell those who are in troubled relationships, to look at the signs. If you have to doubt, then it's time to put on your Louboutins and sashay outta there!! Tell them, "Take all of me, or leave me alone!"

Remember to mute our playlist to hear the song.

AMEN!

Enjoy!

American Music Awards 2009

This year's AMA's had some pretty interesting looks. Some good, some bad, some just plain ugly! There were a bunch of celebrities wearing sequins, almost overkill. My eyes were beginning to hurt after a while. However, there were some pretty fab people on the red carpet; others get the *side eye.*

Alicia Keys wore this beautiful Georgio Armani Spring 2010 bejeweled blueish turquoise strapless dress. Some ppl hated it, I absolutely love it! Her makeup, accessories and hair (and her body..omg) look amazing. Thumbs up from me, Alicia!

Carrie Underwood looked cute in this Grecian-inspired dress by Theia. Her look was completed with strappy bronze heels and flawless makeup. This chic has a great makeup artist; her skin always looks great!

Ok, RiRi strikes again. She looked interesting in this rose cut-out Marchesa dress with white ankle strapped pumps. I actually like it; it definately fits her personality because it's edgy, avant garde and sexy; everything that equals Rihanna. Her makeup was crazy!! I'm def gonna re-create this look with different colors though. Good look Ri!

She's Fergalicious! Fergie got her rocker-chic on in this studded Armani Prive dress with side split. I'm still on the fence about this dress. It works for her, but I think it's just too studded for me. She still looks fab.

Elegance at its best! Sofia Vergara looked stunning in this Emilio Pucci one-shoulder pink dress. Love this! And her curves are just right. Yes, Sofia!

Selena Gomez was cutesy (but boring) in this sequinned Talbot Runhof dress. I know she's only like 16, but yaawwn. She could have spiced it up, but still made it age appropriate. Still cute.

*SIDE EYES*

Miss Keri Baby! Womp...She went sequin overboard. She usually loooks fab on the red carpet. But this outfit was boring and those shoes are hideous. *Fashionistas, just one sequin peice at a time!* The hair had me yawning too. Sorry Miss Keri, you've had better looks. I still love her though!

Kristin Bell put me to sleep in this Christian Cota silver dress. It looks like Christmas gift wrap, just in time for the holidays, huh? Her skin is too pale for this dress and her hair?? Dang..did she make an appointment? She usually looks cute too, but this was not her best. Try again.

Leona Lewis, did you really do this to yourself girl?! Trash bag meets cat woman (or at least her ears). Designed by Vivienne Westwood.. this is a fashion FAIL. No words...

This bright Versace mini dress on Shakira. Idk, I'm not impressed. Those clunky shoes don't match, she should have worn a simple shoe for a busy dress. Those two strings on hair = no no!

HAHAHAHAHA. That's all I'll say here at Kelly Clarkson.

What are your thoughts about these looks?

Trend Alert: Garters!

Hey Ladies! Get ready to get even more risque and sexy with the Garter trend. Garters have been out since like forever ago. But it seems like showing sexy lingerie is a big trend as of lately. Pairing garters with jean shorts and loose shirts or even a cute mini dress can add a touch of sex appeal to any outfit.

Model turned designer Erin Wasson x RVCA She used a pair of suspenders to do the trick.

Paris Hilton shows us her garter look. Not really feeling the top but overall the look is decent.

Two of my favorite ladies Katy Perry and Beyonce rocked some garters too. Katy Perry wore hers with a red velvet blazer and high waisted briefs. I like her look but I would've toned it down some. Too many shades of red.. Beyonce wore hers on stage while performing at the MTV Europe Awards in Berlin.

Blogger Gala of Amul wears a pair of garters with denim shorts and oversized knit sweater. Very edgy but sexy look.

Designer Hussein Chalayan added garter belts to some thigh high boots.. Two trends in one!

I love this trend. I would totally rock a pair of garters under a cute mini dress! Stay tuned..

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We can't wait until dinner is served!

Crazy in Love with Maggie and Calypso Louboutins

Hey guys! I knew I wasn't the only one going crazy over the Louboutin Maggie and Calypso pumps. Seems like it's becoming a celeb fav.

Khloe, Miss Tyra, Vivica, Kelly, and Victoria all love their Maggie Pump.

The Maggie pump come in either a lilac/navy or brown/black color. Its a suede covered platform pump with gold-toned chainmail cap toe..lovely!

You can purchase these at Barneys.. that is if you have an extra $930 layin around..

The Calypso pumps are my favorite though.. Although...if anyone wanted to send me the Maggies I'll gladly accept :) **coughs. size 8! ..lol

Michelle Blake Estelle Charlize and even Christina agree with me.. Calypso is a bad bad shoe!

Man oh man... I want the all black pair with the blue crytal toe. Christian Louboutin is the shoe god!

Which one do you guys like the most? Maggie or Calypso?? I'm team Calypso all the way!

And Remember:

xoxo -Y
