I can't wait to hate you Make you pain like I do Still can't shake you off I can't wait to break through these emotional changes Seems like such a lost cause I can't wait to phase you Break you down so low there's no place left to go I can't wait to hate you baby -"H.A.T.E.U" Mariah Carey
Mz.Mimi released her video for her song H.A.T.E.U and of course...I love it. Oh shut up... Her voice is undeniably amazing, her songwriting skills are ridiculous ( you know you always relate ladies) Not to mention she's glammed out to the fullest... hair/makeup/wardrobe and a TON of diamonds on the BEACH...so f'n fab.
“It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.” -Deepak Chopra
Marie Claire.fr has a editorial in this months issue featuring babies and jewelry... Some people have referred to it as "creepy" or even "disturbing". Ummmm...why? What's the problem? I love babies and I love jewelry. Put them together and that's love x love. Perfect. Lighten up people...
P.S I really really want that cuff on that adorable baby's chubby lil arm...
You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea” -Earl Nightingale
Scene: Glamour Whore in front of the mirror in the bathroom. Her very long, thick hair divided into sections. Cutting shears in hand. Phone rings. GW contemplates letting it go to voicemail but reconsiders and answers the call from a good friend.
Glamour Whore: Hello... Friend: What's good? Watcha doin? Glamour Whore: I'm about to cut my hair. Friend: How short?! Glamour Whore: Fairly short. Bob-like. Friend: WHAT?!?! Hell No!! Don't do it... You'll regret it. Glamour Whore: Hmmmm...maybe your right. I just... Friend: Just what? Glamour Whore: I don't know... Need a change or something. I'm bored. Friend: Bored? With your hair? Glamour Whore: Good question... I don't know. Just bored. Friend: Well, if you cut off all that hair because you're bored... you're gonna be mad tomorrow. Glamour Whore: Hmmmm....you might be right. I'll call you back...kisses.
So I started thinking. I wasn't bored with my hair. I was just bored. I needed something... Makeup? nope. As a Pro MUA I have literally every cosmetic product available. Clothes/Shoes? Nope. My bedroom is jam packed. Couldn't fit another piece of clothing or another pair of shoes in it if I tried...
I know!!!! Accessories. Yup. One thing I learned early on in life from my fashionable female family members: When looking to change up your style, look no further than new accessories. A new collection of belts, jewelry, hats, scarves, etc can revamp your whole look/wardrobe.
I thought to myself... I don't need to chop off my hair, I just need some new "head/hair" accessories. Now if only I had enough self control to stop at my head. But...nope. That's not my style...
I ended up finding a few necklaces, rings, bracelets, hell...I even found a harness I must have. Yes. A Harness... Let me share my findings...
This is my FAVORITE.... It can be made with any number you choose.
The Harness:
Finger/Wrist Area (Yes, you guessed it... Shopbop)
And I will add these accessories to my signature outfit: a wifebeater, a great fitting pair of jeans, fierce boots, a luxe bag and my trademark pink lips:
"I lick the gun When I’m done Cause I know That revenge is sweet So sweet" -"G4L" Rihanna "Rated R" (Album)
At least once a week Riri wears something that makes me say "OH MY GOD" in a high-pitched nasally voice reminiscent of "Janice" from "Friends". Which means I really, really, really like it... This week she didn't disappoint. Her outfits for her "Rated R" album release parties (Yes, plural. She had 2 parties...DIVA) damn near put me in a coma brought on by intense jealously. And I knew who designed the ultra-fab metal spike embellished ensembles the minute I saw them. "The Blonds"...whom I believe to be the most underrated fashion designers. They are FABULOUS and people need to recognize (said in my "Tasha Mack" voice)...
Peep the shoes also...AMAZING.
Rihanna isn't the only "Femme Metale"...
La Lopez also loves the metal/stud/spike trend... You can find the following items @ http://www.noirjewelry.com/
This is a bold trend and to really do it justice you have to be all in...no half steppin. So take it over the top with these studded nails that Keedah from "Diary Of A Style Addict" created...
