fashion look of the day

Since I been blogging about fashion so much, Im just gonna put a few fashion pics every day that I blog.

A friend recently pointed me towards this website called Karla's closet. I love her style!



I also came across this website called Bleed for Fashion. Her style is pretty tyte as well.

late afternoon runss

I been goin on these all summer, so I decided to try my hand at photography and take some pics of some of the things I see on my runs..nothing really too special. Enjoy <3

Remember the days..

when we used to listen B2K?! HAHA! Mannn..those were the days. .I was a diehard B2K fan and I had it bad for Lil FIzzz haha I can remember bumpin "uh huh" and Bump Bump Bump in my walkman cd player..and of course I had all their CD's, watched all their TV appearances etc. The only thing I didn't have was that horrible movie. HaH! Myspace is pretty much dead, but I do update it/ look at it from time to time and I came across a bulletin from ''Fizz & Boog"....guess they still tryna do their thng..anyways here is what the guys look like now







not too bad boys...as for their music..idk if i can say the same =/ LOL

P.retty Y.oung T.hangs

Young, upcoming models like Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn are putting black fashion and black modeling on the map! Super gorgeous! <3 <3 <3

RIP Aaliyah

Today is the anniversary of Aaliyah's death. Its funny because I actually remember where I was when I heard the news. I was in Nigeria, and I heard it on the radio and I didnt even believe it. It wasnt until I got home, that I realized that she was really gone.



Throwback Summer Joint of the day is one of my favorite Aaliyah Songs--> One in a Million.



and heres some footage from her last video "Rock the Boat"

inspireme

Success in life requires a lot of self-motivation. One can't expect to be pushed to do things. Sometimes, you have to know what you want to do and like the Nike ad says
.

I read somewhere that every great person or entrepreneur has a kind of inspiration board...i guess it doesn't always have to be a physical board..it could simply be a folder on your computer, or this very blog. But, I decided that I am gonna have one when I move into my new apartment. I dont know what I am gonna put on it yet, maybe things that inspire me, people who motivate me, my friends, my family...I dont know..I guess time will tell.

McDonalds has a website...

just for black people. Here is a quote from the website
" At McDonald's®, we believe that African-American culture and achievement should be celebrated 365 days a year — not just during Black History Month. That's the idea behind 365Black.com. It's a place where you can learn more about education, employment, career advancement and entrepreneurship opportunities, and meet real people whose lives have been touched by McDonald's."

hmmmm...sounds like a conspiracy to to get more black people to buy McDonalds, which no one really needs. They are simply trying to inspire confidence and trust in their brand...its a shameless place out there in the advertising world. If it interests you, you can access the website here.

Cant Live Without My....

Garment Racksss! For some odd reason, I have been blogging about a lot of fashion stuff lately but I can't deny my love for garment racks. I really don't know what I would do without mines!
I just like the idea of being able to put outfits together and hang them out on my rack. It may sound simple, but its like having a mini boutique or store in my room...A source of inspiration or a way to counter boredom...I dont know, but it is definitely one of the essential items in my room! For more pictures, etc....click here.

Take Me To...Japannn

Japanese fashion is so ....I can't find the words...phenomenal, inspirational, I don't know, just plain cool. Theres a Japanese culture website that is pretty tyte. Its called DropSnap. (BTW I couldn't access the site on my Macbook, had to go the PC =/) But, the site is real cool, it snaps pictures of fashionable people on the streets of Japan I suppose. I can't really read the website because its in Japanese haha. They also have blogs too! Anyways, the pictures say it all. Here are some of my faves

Ambers cakes=FAKE

Yes, Amber Rose's cakes are artificial...I mean I am not surprised. Theres just no way she could have a body like that naturally...SMH.

IY YI YI, so I have just begun watching the movie Ali


, and not that Will Smith doesnt look bomb, but this just reminds me of how scared I used to be of boxing...well maybe it wasnt even really boxing I was afraid of. It was Mike Tyson.




I was so terrified of the guy, I thought he was gonna come to my house and beat me up lol. My dad and my uncles would always get together to watch the fights and I would hide in a corner...haha smh..even if I seen that guy today, I would put my track skills to use and run the opposite direction. lol I dont know how Robin did it..lmao...now back to the movie =]
