“C’mon we’re just chilling!”

13 Sep

Yes, I am aware that the headline “C’mon we’re just chilling!” is totally whack. But hey, I tried and that the best I could have came up with. So don’t judge me. Anyways, moving on.

So it’s Tuesday and on Tuesdays at SPC should really be called “Bum-Day”.

Simply because students on campus don’t get dressed up in their best outfits. Most os them are tired, exhausted or just upset that they have to be up to go to a class and sit for over an hour. So I guess that reflects in the way they dress, even myself.

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays everyone has on their best and the “Quad” is like runway because that’s the hot spot where everyone is at the same time, so you don’t even think about repeating an outfit. Some one will point you out (LOL), even if you don’t notice.

One of my favorite quotes by Alexander Wang says “Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress on their days off is most intriguing.” So despite whatever you wear on the popular days like Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays , IT DON’T MATTER!!!!!!!!!! If you can get dressed up in sweats, oversize t-shirts, sports sneakers, or a cap and look absolutely stunning, then congratulations, you’re a fashionista, and should be proud. That’s a look that cannot be pulled off by many. So kudos to you.

Check out some of Tuesdays aka “Bum-Day” fashions. I think these girls pulled it off and look fabulous.

BUT, PAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While some of us might think it’s not important to get dressed up on Tuesdays. This group of twin, showed us different. Presentation is important to these girls, and they always leave their dorm room looking stylish.

This time it wasn’t just a cart-wheel. Betsey Johnson did a split. Yes, you heard right. This 69-year-old cancer survivor did a split at and did it well causing her audience, who are some of her biggest supporters to cheer the roof off.

I am one of Betsey Johnson biggest fan and supporters. She continues to be one of my favorite fashion designer, icon and role model. She continues to win over the hearts of many with her designs, collections and her support for awareness against breast cancer.

Hey! It’s Beyonce and “Baby B”

13 Sep

As we all know it’s Fashion Week in New York and the hottest, most stylist celebrities and fashionistas are stepping out so see what this season has in store. Among the A lister’s who stepped out this week, Beyonce, Little Sis Solange and “Baby B” a.k.a Beyonce baby bump made a fashionable appearance to J. Crew Spring 2012 Fashion Show. I must say Beyonce look amazing in her gliztly maternity wear and Solange looks very stylist and trendy as well. Recently at the MTV Video Music Awards spilled the news to the world about her pregnancy. Since then the news has been soaring the pages of blogs, websites, etc. However, Beyonce continue to top the charts in the music industry with her most recent debut album “4” with chart top hits. I’m such a big fan of Beyonce and I will testify to the fact that the album is terrific, amazing, great, and any other words I can find to describe how assume Beyonce’s new album is. Usually there’s at least one song that is my least favorite but not on this album. I enjoy listening to every song on the album and on repeat. My top favorites are “Love on Top”, “I Care”, and “1+1”.

“Oh No, What is Nicki Minaj Wearing?”

12 Sep

“Um, she looks amazing” is definitely not what you would usually hear people say about Young Money’s hottest female rapper Nicki Minaj. You would probably hear “Woah, she looks outrageous.” Despite how outrageous you may think Nicki Minaj looks, you have to admit that whatever she has on, crazy pants, various hair colors, she wears it well and looks amazing. Besides isn’t that what fashion is all about? Standing out from the norm and getting as creative and freakishly stylish as you possibly can. If so, Nicki Minaj does it well.

I must admit I was never a big fan of Nicki Minaj, but she stole my attention and eventually my heart with her unique lyrics and fashion statements.

This South side Jamaica,Queens Rapper Nicki Minaj continues to win the support of fans worldwide since the release of her first single “Massive Attack” and her BET Award for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist. Since then Nicki Minaj has collaborated with some of the music industry hottest artists, like Rihanna, Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Diddy, etc, just to name a few.

I will definitely remember the spontaneous moments me and my roommates had blasting her album “Pink Friday” and pretending to be Barbie’s with our Pink Friday lipstick on and diva attitudes. Nicki Minaj is definitely doing her thing in the music industry, Kudos to her.

My apologies for my “groupie” moment that I’m about to have but what the heck I love Chanel Iman and she is totally my role model.  No I don’t wish I was a size 2 or wish that I had her life. I just admire her, simple because she is very talented, and there’s this gracefulness about her.

“Rihanna..!-You’ve Got to Love Her”

12 Nov

I’ve been a big fan of Rihanna since her hit song “Pon De Replay”. However, since then she has evolved into a top favorite and fashionable icon not just for me but many girls out in the world.

Blessed with beauty, style and talent, Rihanna has been marketed as a fashion icon; gaining significance due to a series of highly publicized endorsement deals and being skillful at fitting into the latest style trends.

This singer-songwriter and R&B diva is known for her outrageous style and catchy song hooks. Some of my favorite and most played songs on my I-pod from Rihanna are “What’s my name”, “Only Girl”, “If it’s loving that you want”, “Take a bow” and the list goes on (LOL).

If you look closer in this picture, you will see Rihanna’s Spacelite Vintage ear-to-ear earrings.  It looks like a necklace from far away but when I actually zoomed in, I was stunned. Only this stylish, edgy diva can wear such out-of-this-  world jewelry and make it look hot! Like I said “you’ve got to love her”.

Here’s Some of my all time favorite Rihanna Videos Via youtube;-) Enjoy
