LADY FIERCE

Halle Berry continues to stun the world with her beauty. 40 is really the new 30 for this chic. Every time people use to say Halle Berry is one of the sexiest women in the world, I use to be like "she aight", but baby, she is looking fierce for her age. Below is a few photos from a recent photo shoot for Bazaar magazine.

Clutch of the Day

This Balenciaga "Cherche Midi" clutch is "IT". I saw a lady coming out of Cole Hann yesterday and its obvious chic was fierce with this clutch. All I wanted to do was point to this lady and scream YASSS!...but I did not. Didn't wanna act a fool on Michigan Avenue, as Sheree from ATL housewives would say "Cuz I'm Classy."

Breakfast Anyone

Since my good friend Diamond took me to this breakfast spot by school, I have been in love.
Yolk is a breakfast and lunch spot in the South loop that I absolutely adore. They have a very extensive menu consisting of your favorite breakfast foods and some with a twist. Now i haven't been there for lunch but I am sure lunch is good too. I love a place that has great portion sizes and Yolk definitely does not slack on the portions. Go try it out one day. Their open from 6am-3p daily. YOLK

Video of the Day

When i first saw this video I thought it was fake,  it looks like a commercial but it is REAL....TOO FUNNY

Pump Pump Pump it up

I am loving this YSL Animal Print Pump. I think I only love it because of the height. The higher the better. Beyonce wore this pump this past weekend and she made it look like she was walking on clouds. She betta get it.

Warning (Strong Language)

This chile right here has been around his sibling's to much. This is an example of why you should not argue in front of children. Lawd help the chile.

Get Ya Monies in Order

When the new year came about I decided that I wanted to get my money in order. Ya know, start saving more and spending less. Easy to say hard to do, especially since I LOVE to shop. I can admit that I am somewhat of a shopaholic. I have gotten better though. Now a days I try to only buy things that are on sale. If it's not on sale then it's not for me. But that seems not to work since this whole recession has come up and everything wants to be on sale.

To help me get my money in order, I start using this site called Mint. With mint you link it to all your banking accounts, student loans, mortgage, credit cards or what have you and it breaks everything down into categories, such as Entertainment, Food and Dining, Clothes, Bills, etc. Then it shows you a pie chart which lets you see what you are spending your money on the most. It's a great site that I highly recommend. It's FREE and SECURE, so go try it out. You'll be surprised about where most of your money goes to. I know I was.

Video's of the day

I love hearing Rickey Smiley and Uncle Tommy from the Steve Harvey show and their phone prank calls. They have me crackin up. Here are a few of my favorite

Girl why you look so surprised

Your eyebrows shape and frame your face. I prefer that women go to a professional to get their eyebrows together rather then doing them their selves. But now a days, companies are making it easier for you to not make a mistake and end up looking like who did what to and why. I just hate when women have those over arched eye brows that make them look surprised all the time or when women have plucked so much that they have to draw on their eye brows...SO NOT WHATS UP. Below is a video that I found that can help you and they give you some great tips.....LISTEN CAREFULLY LADIES

Give them toes a rest hunny

Sometimes ya need to give those toes a rest from wearing those fierce 5in pumps all the time, but there is no need to still not look "IT". You can wear a bada** sneaker and still be classy. Here are a couple that I am lovin....

Red Gets It In

It seems the red lip trend is not going anywhere. Red lips are bold and if you are going to try and pull it off, YOU BETTER COME CORRECT. There is a certain confidence that you MUST have when wearing red lipstick. You can dress it up or dress it down, but as long as you have the right confidence, won't nobody be able to tell you NOTHIN

Here are few celebs that gets it in with red

WTF????

Dwight Eubanks A.K.A the 6th housewife of Atlanta, is claiming that he is engaged to a WOMAN. BABY BYE. This fool know damn well he is not about to really be getting married to a WOMAN. He damn near a woman his self. The first pic at the  bottom looks like a mother (Dwight) kissing her daughter, come on na. This must be a publicity stunt for his new reality show coming to TV soon. Well I will have to say it's a good one.

**WTH is this fool wearing. PLEASE tell me those are not fur pants. It looks like his missing the top half of a bear costume. 

SMH...what people do for publicity

Music Video of the Day

Monica gives me this ghetto girl next door attitude which is why I love her.

Let Me Smell Ya

I think everyone should have what I call a "Remember Me Scent". A remember me scent is when someone gets a whiff of a smell and they automatically think of you. Hopefully the scent is good. I have 5 top fragrances that I like the smell of.

Touch of Pink by Lacoste

(A fresh a fun smell)

Pink Sugar by Aquolina

(It has a fruity cotton candy type of smell)
Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture

(It has a bright a girly smell)
Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana

(If you want something to last

thought out the day, this is it)
Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker

(It has a very feminine chic smell)

I adore Tracee Ellis Ross Style

Tracee Ellis Ross A.K.A Joan on girlfriends B.K.A Diana Ross's daughter is to me a style icon. Every time I see her pictured she always has on something out of the ordinary and I love it. SHE IS IT. I love when she makes laid back clothes look stylish and classy.

Ranting (braids and kinky twist)

So I am not a big fan of micro braids or kinky twist, but I know they are convenient. What I have a problem with is when women keep their micro braids in WAY pass the time for them to take them out. Ladies, when you have so much new growth to the point that if you were to cut your micros off at the new growth, you could braid your hair, then it's BEEN time for you to take them out. 

It seem like everywhere I went yesterday I just kept seeing all these women with micros's and all this new growth. I know its a recession and women may not be able to get their hair done like they use to, but damn....invest in a head band or hat.  Also, if when you get micros and it looks like you have a receding hair line, then Micros aren't for you boo boo.

And what's been up with kinky twist and having all these hot mess colors mixed in. THAT IS NOT CUTE. Every time I see a girl with white or red kinky twist, it makes me wanna snatch them by the head and say "take yo knuck if you buck lookin a** and take them out."

This My Song Ya'll


Another Sad Love Song - Toni Braxton

BABY MAMA HIPS

I LOVE to see thick girls do they thang when it comes to fashion, but lately I have been seeing some thick girls looking sloppy and not being all they can be. If your thick be proud of your thickness but know your limitations. Ya'll can not do everything these skin and bone girls do.

Here are 5 rules I think ya'll need to know

#1. LEARN YOUR MEASUREMENTS- When you know your correct measurements, you will be able to get clothes that compliment your figure

#2. GET CLOTHES THAT FIT- If you have on a shirt and you have to constantly pull it down because it keeps rising to your breast....NO NO. You need a bigger size shirt hunny. That ain't cute. 

#3. WEAR COMPLIMENTARY COLORS- You don't have to wear black all the time, just find colors that don't make you look bigger then you are.

#4. GET A BODY SHAPER (IF NEEDED)- Body shapers are what's up. Body shapers can take off up to 2 sizes. They give you the appearance of a smooth silhouette. Top celebrities even use them.

#5. HAVE CONFIDENCE- I hate hearing a girl talk about she look a mess because she is not a size 2. GIRL PLEASE.

Here are some thick celebrities that are "IT"

GIRL YOU NEED TO HANDLE THAT

I was walking down Michigan Avenue today when this lady approached me and asked me for directions. I could not even focus on what she was saying to me because I was starring at her MUSTACHE. I mean it wasn't a little hair that she maybe didn't have time to shave off, it was like full grown visible. All I wanted to do was point to it and say "GIRL YOU NEED TO HANDLE THAT."

If you are having a facial hair problem, here are some things you can do to get that situation in order.

Tweeze it- Pluck out unwanted hair with tweezers. After the first couple plucks you will get use to the pain.

Depilatory Creams- By following the product directions carefully, you can get rid of visible unwanted facial hair in most areas. Just be careful about using these products around the eyes. You may have to apply the cream over several days' or weeks' time to see consistent results.

Bleaching products- If you can't remove the hair or don't like the idea of peach fuzz or stubble, you can try a bleaching cream, though you may have to experiment on small, hidden areas of your face first to be sure you don't lighten too much the areas where the hair is located. As with other chemical products, be careful when using it around the eyes on the brow areas.

Shave- Use a steel or plastic razor, preferably one made for women, to scrape away surface hairs around the mouth, on the chin, and over the cheeks. The down side to this method is you may have to keep doing it, since a razor doesn't get at the hair follicle, which will continue to grow. You also may feel a light stubble if you have a lot of facial hair that needs to be removed, as some women with special conditions do.

Laser- Now a days they have all this Laser treatment facial removal. I'm sure you can find it on the internet.

Cosmetics- If all else fails, apply enough natural-looking foundation to cover any mild hair growth so others can't see it.
