THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS

Where on earth have I been?!
I recently came across this site & I absolutely love it.
Gerard Estadella captures the unique essence of the crème de la crème of fashion,
along with the hipsters, the overly intoxicated, and the slightly insane.
This site is more than peep-worthy :)

PREMIERE

Although you've probably long forgot about it by now,
I co-styled my first music vid for the new girl group, The Stunners a while back.
And I just found out that the girls have {finally} released their music vid
for their new single,
"Dancing Around the Truth."
As of now, the girls will be touring with Justin Bieber to promote the record,
so be on the lookout for them!

THE BOMB DOT COM


So I just so happened to log into Facebook and noticed that someone left me
a post on my wall saying that they seen me on The Fashion Bomb,
which is one of my favorite blogs.
And after checking out the site for myself,
scrolling past posts about Cassie, Brandy & Ray J,
THERE I AM! lol

You all should definitely peep the site ASAP!!!
Special thanks to The Fashion Bomb for making me the "Bombshell of the Day!"
Aaaah,
what a way to start the day! :)

ONE TOUGH COOKIE



Notice anything different

about these photos?!??...

I FINALLY GOT A NEW CAMERA!!!! :)
Earlier this week, Kev & I headed to Target for a few items,
and I spotted the lovely Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W330! lol
I've had my eye on it for a few weeks & have been complaining about my need for a camera,
so I finally bit up the nerve to put my money where my mouth is...
and I haven't stopped snapping ever since!!
NO MORE MACBOOK PICS! lol
Just to give you an idea of how amazing my new camera really is,
I decided to take a photo of my closet.
Photobucket
Isn't it awesome!!?!?!? lol
I know that I may sound corny,
but who cares?!!
I've been in desperate need of a camera that is capable of capturing
the essence of me! haha

Anywho,
after a lonnnnnng overdue hiatus,
I decided to get my hair cut yesterday.
It was growing faster than ever before, and I was starting to look like
some type of sheep dog. lol
And being that I'm getting a bit bored of my doo,
I figured it best to try something new!
Let me know what you all think of it!!!!

*Special shoutout to Eric of Infinite Styles who did the big chop!*

A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

It's a personal relief of mine to discover fashionable finds that
scream out for attention.
Bright colors and abstract prints are exciting ways to distinguish yourself
from the blah, the bland, and the boring.
I love spotting pieces that you can't help but stare at;
things that spark interesting conversations.
With that being said,
I wanted to share with you all a few funky ensembles that
will surely add vibrance to any closet!

WATCH OUT HERE I COME

Sheesh!
I'm a busy bee! lol
With the LUX fashion show finally out of my hair,
I have a whole lot of catching up to do with school.
The show was AMAZING, yet the photos have been m.i.a!
I've been trying to get my hands on them,
but it's just my luck that I've received none of them.

Aside from the show, I have some even GREATER news to share with you all!
My amiga Keisa Sullivan let me know that celeb stylist Mr. Bradshaw
was in need of designers for a major magazine shoot!
So of course, she put him in contact with me and my pieces are being shot as we speak!!!
I can't completely reveal which celeb is going to be wearing my pieces,
but I guess I can give you a hint!!!
2 words:
Harajuku Barbie
lol ;)
If you can't figure it out,
then I guess you'll just have to wait for when the issue hits the stands!!!
**This just in!!!**
I just got word that my designs will be part of yet another photoshoot for an
upcoming magazine this Sunday!
Be sure to be on the lookout for a behind-the-scenes peek via Twitter!

Gold chained necklace
Light gray sweatshirt blazer
Funky plaid bustier

SHOWTIME


On Monday night, I was one of the many black designers who's designs were featured in UC Riverside's very own Black Homecoming Fashion Show!
One of the organizations on campus {African Student Programs} came up with the idea of having a Black Homecoming for UCR's African-American students in an effort to raise money for various events that they have planned for the rest of the school year.
Even though I've been sewing constantly,
I'm glad that I got to showcase my work at the fashion show.

Because of the hectic craziness backstage with models changing
and the fact that I temporarily lost my Blackberry,
I was unable to snap pics of the models who were rockin' my designs :(
BUT WAIT!
Don't be too disappointed lol
I'm going to be part of a HUGE fashion/music/art event at my school called LUX
that is set to happen this Friday!
Personally, I'm more amped for this show lol
So I will definitely take pics for you all of the intense backstage action :)
In the meantime,
I'll give you all a peek at what I wore to the show on Monday night!
FYI: Peep the neckpiece! MADE BY YOURS TRULY! ;)


Black fabric earring:: Forever 21
Black bodycon dress with lace detail:: H&M
Purple geometric neckpiece:: Made by ME! :)
Teal tank:: Forever 21
Acid wash vest:: Forever 21
