Keri Hilson Giuseppe Zanotti Black Platform Wedges

Playsuit - by GORJESS24 on Polyvore.com
Celebs inspire a lot of street style, but also the streets inspires celeb style. Playsuits and Rompers are going to be a huge trend for 09'. I loooooove playsuits because they are simple to style and easy. Make sure if you decide to go for a romper that it has the perfect fit, you don't want anything too tight, however, loose can be good. Pair suits with wedges and dramatic shoes as Ms. Keri Baby has done with these Giuseppe Zanotti Black Platforms.

I found over 20 of these things during my winter-summer shopping at locals thrifts and goodwills. I wish I was still going to Miami so I could wear them sooner! But I will get to go later in the spring and summer hehe!

New York State of Mind...

NEW YORK - by GORJESS24
I have decided to go to New York and DC while on Spring Break this year. Can't wait!!!!!!

If any of you chicas are in the city next week or have some suggestions for each place let me know!

SKY HIGH PLATFORMS

I really, really love these platforms they are tres unique. I have had them for a while but was reluctant to wear them because people always looked at me like a giant freak when I wore them. I don't know, North Carolina is not really hip to the whole sky high platform thing yet. People are still wearing peep toes and cheap stilettos around here...ha ha jk. No but seriously, there is nothing more annoying than seeing a heavy girl with a super skinny stiletto, four inches high

and it looks like her ankles are about to flop and her heels are about to collapse. Ladies if this pertains to you than you will know because you can feel your ankles giving in. Oh and it happens to skinny girls too!

Vintage Large Africa Earrings (they are sooo...light), White Mossimo V-neck, Hot Topic Skinny Leg Jeans, Vintage Bongo Polka Dot Cork Platforms, Italian Oversize Handmade Rose Ring , Silver and Gold Elephant Bangles

Victoria's Secret...

Gwyneth Hidden Wedge Boot...

I cannot wait to rock these. I purchased the taupe pair because I have too much black as is!

Polka Dots and Pink...

Pretty in Pink - by GORJESS24

Everyone can wear polka dots, if done gracefully. Make sure that if you are bottom heavy stay with fabrics that are flattering, stretchy fabrics, not so much! We all saw how M.I.A. rocked her polka dot prints at the Grammys!

Work Blah Mondays...

*sigh*first things first lets get this out of the way...already wish it was humpday!

Like I said it's been a dreary day and

I thought I'd rock my Run DC Barack Obama Tee. Although, I just wanted to sleep the day away because of the weather, I have stupid exams and classes today. It would be nice to get away for Spring Break in a nice tropical climate, but at least I can head up to NYC for a little retail therapy instead. Yea Yea Yea...I was getting my Plus Size Cindy Crawford on OKAY!

SHOP THERAPY...

Today has been better than yesterday thus far! Got out early on a foggy, dreary rainy day, went to accounting class, then ventured out! Found this good stuff. Can't wait to rock my Run DMC Tee with my f21 heart bag. Shopping is so therapeutic, n'cest pas?

DIY...Destructive Boyfriend Jeans

Everyone knows the trends in denim and jeans today is the new boyfriend jean, dawned by Katie Holmes, SJP, Megan Fox and many other celebs. Naturally, I am a hippy woman so I am not able to find as many pants in my size. I absolutely love the boyfriend jean because they are more relaxed than my usual skinnies. They also create a great edge to any outfit. You can pair them with a white v-neck tee and some platforms and look stunning in a careless sort of way. Some of you may also notice that the tags on some of these jeans are a little pricey and the less expensive brands have yet to release a more buyer friendly version. Here is a DIY tutorial of Destructive Boyfriend Jeans. I took a pair of my dad's old Levi jeans, I first took a razor and shredded the jeans to my liking. I then took a spray bottle of bleach and water and sprayed the jeans sparingly (be careful to use something to separate the front and back of the jeans, as I did not and it soaked thru to the back), I took some fabric paint, white first and squeezed all over. I took a sponge paint brush w/ water and dabbed all over the lines. I repeated the same with the black. I am waiting on my pyramid and dome studs to arrive to finish them!

Pooka Pure & Simple...

Okay so do you remember when Carol's Daughter hit the seen and all us gals rushed out and bought all the products? Judging from some natural Youtube divas I am assuming that most of you were not all that impressed. Well imagine my surprise when I went to The Women's Empowerment event last weekend in Raleigh, NC. I stopped at this booth women were getting massages by two handsome guys and literally in tears. So I said to my mom and my friend maybe we should get one too! So we asked "how do we get a massage" ? The rep replied, " If you purchase $20 or more of the Pooka products you can head over and get a massage from the guys a Just 1 Touch". Which was amazing by the way! So I sampled a few body butters,pucker butters, some oils and bath pastries. Trust they have it all! Ultimately I fell in love with the Pooka Pure & Simple Pomegranate Body Butter and Bath Pastry. This stuff smells so good you can eat it (not recommended). My mom and I both purchased two each. Not only does it smell delicious but I have only been using it for a week and I can already tell a difference in my skin. I apply the body butter straight out of the shower, I apply a thin film all over and it leaves my skin so smooth. People can smell it all over me and they are like what is that you are wearing!

Work BLAH Mondays

cheap mondays - by GORJESS24 on Polyvore.com

You just have to love Mondays! You get to wake up super early, after a weekend of hard partying, dinners, events, whatever you do, and you have the pleasure of going to some blah corporation to slave for 8 hrs. Don't you just love Mondays? Nevertheless, If you can't enjoy yourself at your job, please INDULGE with what you get to wear to your J.O.B. Have a productive week!

SPRING GREEN...MIAMI HEAT

Spring is finally here AND we are going to be adventuring to different, exciting places to celebrate. My original plans for spring break were to head down south to M.I.A. unfortunately, those plans were interrupted and I now have to find something else to do. However, I know you guys will still be out hittin' the hottest spots, so here is a little something to help you along the way.

Don't forget to pack your SPF, take lots of pics and most importantly HAVE FUN!
