On The Hunt

I have been looking for a dress like this. I am infatuated with fragile materials. Anyone seen anything similar or any other dress with nice lace?

New Jewelry

I saw a sale and you all know how I feel about discounts. I ran in and found these three rings. 

New Beginnings

For the sake of privacy, I will keep this post short. A new house is in my future and I am more excited than I can describe. We are three weeks from closing and it's what I am considering a new beginning.

New Years Themes

Merry Christmas

It is a family tradition that we open all of our presents on Christmas Eve so I am a little late technically sharing with you all a gift that I loved this year. Even so, I cheated and wanted to share two that I am particularly excited to use. The first, the new Beyonce perfume that I have been wanting to try. I am a huge fan of Beyonce Knowles so I was curious to see what she had been claiming to be so hot in her fragrance, Heat. The second, a new coat from my parents. I love coats and jackets more than I love shoes. I can't begin to explain my infatuation but I am sure if you have been following my blog for any given amount of time then you can see that is what the primary focus of my posts are about.
What was your favorite gift this holiday season?

One of my favorite artists released a new collection of music tonight. Here is the article I did for Jungle Gym Magazine. Check it out.

Fashion Ease

If only it was this easy..

Last Minute Shopping

I thought this would be a nice little post. I went to one of my favorite shopping areas in Dallas and had a great time with an old friend of mine, Alonzo. We met our sophomore year of college and became poker buddies in no time. Every night was poker night around the city. Wonderful memories. They have a giant Christmas tree that extends from the ground ice-rink floor up three stories of mall area. Every night at 7, I believe, they have a Christmas song medley with accompanying lights. 

As for the desserts, the man decided to by 13 cookies and he surely ate all of them. Crazy how men can do the unthinkable and not gain a single pound. If only life were that easy for all of us, right? 

Christmas is in 5 days. I hope every stays safe during their last minute holiday shopping.

First Impressions

My mother has always stressed the importance of first impressions. "You must be a sophisticated lady even before you speak." My hair, jewlery, clothing, speech, every small aspect was stressed to be in accordance with that of a proper modern day lady. When she would have me wear slips under my dresses, I had to draw the line. As I began to dress myself, I decided this is too much. My elegance is not defined by my under garments which no one will see if I am truly a lady.

I found this top last year and I have not warn it a single time. I am still hesitant to make that initial move. It is sensual but I think if paired with other garments properly, it can have a touch of class. The problem however is figuring out how I want to pair it with the rest of my wardrobe. 

What are your thoughts for this piece? Wear it or keep it for private use?

Holiday Break

School is finally over! I am so excited. I am still deciding how much time I went to spend back in my home town compared to the comfort of my own apartment.
Here is a small update for everyone. I got this bracelet in New York in August. I have always had some weird obsession with anything that reminds me of Xena. She was the first woman I knew to have jewelry strapped on her biceps without exception. I see that small obsession still lurks in my mind years later.
Now with the holiday break here, I should be updating more and posting more articles. It's a new section that I had added to the right. I hope when you're bored it offers a good read for you all.

Little Half Black Dress

I recently went into a thrift shop and found this cute little dress. It fits me nicely and I can't wait to wear it out. Especially with finals coming up next week, I needed some motivation for all of my hard work. As soon as the semester is over, I have promised myself that I will find an occasion for it, even if it is New Years. 

Now, with that said, what is everyone doing for New Years? I actually kept this year's resolution and plan to continue it out in further years. Since I am constantly traveling between cities every weekend, I really do not know how I will find an event that works with my schedule. I sing at midnight and normally will go out to enjoy myself afterwards. How do you celebrate?

The Weeknd "The Knowing"

I have loved The Weeknd for quite sometime now. I am slightly bitter that he is doing so much work with Drake, being that I feel he is a wonderful artist on his own, but I still support the man's work. Here is the official music video for the final track of his House of Balloons mixtape.

Sad News

I am so sorry for the lack of updates. I am having some issues with my camera and also the close of school is very demanding right now. I will be back this weekend. Please look for the new posts and updates.
Much Love,
