The Return of Denim





Denim is best known to have a great casual effect but I always love to see when people dress it up. In college I use to love throwing on a pair of jeans, a blazer and a pair or pumps and head out to class, dinner or a party. Now because of work, I hardly ever wear jeans so black tights, pants and leggings storm my closet. I've decided to take things back to basics, so I'm throwing on a pair of jeans and a cute blouse, jacket and of course the new age bootie or platforms. What about you? Do you have the blues?

Loving My Red Stiletto?







During the holidays I decided to get a little more bold with makeup. If you notice I only were the basics and I'm talking 3-4 easy steps. Mac's Studio Fix, Victoria's Secret At Last blush and Beauty Rush black mascara and a few months ago I discovered the wonders of eye liner. Rocking red lipstick this past holiday was a little extreme for me but definitely what I need. Everyone was shocked, co-workers, family, friends and boyfriend, all probably thought they'll see me in a pair of sneakers before red lipstick. I was never the girl in high school or college years with a bag full of make-up. The most you would've have ever find in my bag is lip gloss and mascara. It's not like I had anything against wearing it, I just never gave it that much thought. I became more curious during my last year of college but I never got it right. Until one day my cousin was getting dressed for work, she looked like a zombie when going in the bathroom and came out a super diva! I asked her what's her secret and that's when she introduced me to Mac's Studio Fix and it was on from then. I've became comfortable in a quick polished look but It its time for something just a little more. Which is why I'm excited to have experienced Victoria's Secret Stiletto lip-stick, It's full of fierceness and just what I need in 2010, bold statements.

H&M and UNICEF for Haiti


Guess what I found out while shopping at everyone's favorite store? We can donate to help support Haiti at H&M!
We know their fabulous when it comes to collaborating with great designers but what makes this fashion company "so in", is their humanitarian spirit. Teaming up with UNICEF to help support Haiti in their recovery is truly amazing. You can do your part by donating a desired amount when shopping in any H&M store. The greatest part is H&M will match your gift 100% and the funds go straight to Unicef to help send food and supplies to the people in Haiti. Visit an H&M store soon or visit www.hm.com and www.unicef.org for more info.

DONATE!

Homes, school, hospitals and government buildings collapsed leaving people trapped underneath. People are without water, food and places to sleep so donate anything you can to a legit organization. Start by texting yele to 501501 and donate $5 dollars. Pray for the Haitians tonight, remember any one of our live can turn upside down in the matter of seconds so be thankful for who you have and what u have. Share the love!

My prayers goes out to all of the people in Haiti and to the Haitians who live outside their homeland. May you stay strong and continue to keep God first.
