Where is this party? And why wasn't I invited.....I would love to host a simple brunch like this in this atmosphere, with my favorite girls shoe's propped under to table. Tasting all types of gourmet foods and exotic beverages. Check out the mirror ceiling with the chandeliers. The dress code would be Sundresses & Sunglasses. Complete fabulousness!

 This year's House of Dereon inspiration for the new collection is the "boho-inspired girl who attends the festival and includes floor length skirts, casual jersey tops paired with denim that is an homage to the alternative rock bands, their music and eclectic sense of style." Looking forward to their new improve collection...I MUST HAVE THAT SKIRT!!!

Cher 60s and 70s style back in the day was so epic . Her consistency in those two decades were fierce. I absolutely loved her style back then and that hair!

I'm absolutely loving this trend of the blonde sided patch.

I haven't touched on relationships yet, but love is such a sensitive topic and its a big part of our lives. Its a learning process, which I'm still in the learning stages myself. I am definitely one of those girls who are a big advocate for L.O.V.E.  Its okay to be a sucker for love, but don't ever be stupid for it.



I recently watched this new show on The Lifetime Network called "The Conversation", which is an absolute great show. They talk about life, love, health issues, motherhood, sex, relationships, careers, spirituality, self-esteem issues, wellness etc. The discussion of the topics really stuck with me. Its so real! They talk with celebritys' about real life topics, which is great for the age we live in, because the media doesn't show that side of them, just the glitz and glamour. But, I will get in depth about this show later, they're just fresh out of their first season, which was epic. I'm anticipating the 2nd. Meanwhile check out the host Amanda De Cadnet & all full 8 episodes http://www.theconversation.tv/


I wanna share somethings that Eva Longoria talked about, I think women should do when your in the mid-stages of a breakup with that awful loser you can't shake. She talked about her ex-husbands' infidelity and divorce + how she often, at times would miss him but, wouldn't feed into the temptation because missing someone is just a emotion (plus it makes sense). Leaving relationships in the past are tough! There gonna be times when you miss that person, but you can't go back (hence...the reason you left in the first place). Missing them is just an emotion. And that emotion will fade less and less as time progresses. Especially if that guy was no good for you in the first place. Don't give in because you deserve to be treated like the queen you are .xo

 But I do wanna end this post by saying that all men are bad, there are definitely some good guys out there. And sometimes it does seem like those bad ones just definitely over power them.....

Jay-Z is so influential all around. This song in particular, is one of the greatest heartbreak's of a love story, told by a rapper, Jay-Z "Song Cry".

As of now, with the recent material Brandy has been showcasing  us for the past few years, I can officially say this girl is making a solid return to the music scene. With her anticipated album in the works to be released, this fall October.
Her performance skills has exceeded tremendously, but never thought she needed to prove herself by performing, because this girl has always been an iconic star. If you don't believe me, check her out in the Hype Williams directed, visuals for the lead single of the 4/11 album, "Put It Down" featuring the multi-talented Chris Brown below......

Summer and Fall had a baby girl, and it's this Acne Jacket. We're taking the neon bright summer trend into the fall. I'm excited, I had plans on doing it any ways...Are you ladies ready? Let's get started with this, Acne Rita Shearling Biker Jacket in bright Neon Olive Green.  Get it here! With this you'll definitely stay chic and warm!

Believing is counting on something that your ensure is going to happen in due time.......

It's finally here Mariah Carey's lead single "Triumphant(Get Em)" f/ Meek Mill & Rick Ross from her anticipated new album which still is unnamed. I like it so far. It definitely has to grow on me, but I love Mimi!

 Ocassionaly I visit "Sunglass Heaven" Soltice to check out the lastest, trendy shades, and it's a MUST to take pics to see if they look good or not.  As I mention before shades are not just summer's staple, it's every season's must have in your wardrobe. But these here Balenciaga's are IT!!!

Lavish Libra Ashanti, back in 2002 with her "Happy" video from her debut album. Cute colorful fun video shot in her hometown Glen Cove. Do you remember???

  The Italian Fashion House "Blumarine", holds no bars when its time to showcase during Milan Fashion Week. The brand is definitely one of my top FAV designers. With their 1977 debut I don't think they're going anywhere!
