Back For Good

HI DOLLS!!!!
Ok so its been like 6 months since I last blogged. Which is horrible because in one of my last posts I promised to blog more... whomp whomp. As you can see the page has changed a little bit....
But Im back, with some changes. This is still going to be a fashion based blog but I am making certain life changes that I feel like if I'm able to share it with the world it would be a source of motivation. How vain right? OH WELL...whatever works! LOL.
 So to update everyone, as if you didn't already know, I'm a natural haired girl, I'm going on like 2.5 years. I can actually say that I'm loving the progress. My poof is fantastic and straight my hair is about to my shoulders. So within this blog of course there will continue to be fashion but I am also going to include Hair and Skin Hauls, Inspirational moments in my "hair journey" and weight loss tips I deem helpful, cuz lord knows this is gonna be a challenge...oh yea i didn't even mention. I'm trying to shed like A LOT of poundage so...stay tuned. I'm sure there will be blurbs and appearances from all my natural haired besties, you'll get to know them well I'm sure. I'm really excited! (can u tell?) I feel like this is the summer of change. and this time I actually believe it!!!!!
Smooches!!
xoxo Breezy

WHAT I'M CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH

BURBERRY WELLIES not just Burberry, but wellies in general. So Cute. So practical. So glad I got mine :) Retail 195.00 (for the burberry) You can def find cheaper ones that are just as fierce

YSL LIP GLOSS

Dont care what color. It is AMAZING! Def a splurge but sooo worth it! (see about getting a set, its usually cheaper) Retail 30.00

C. BOOTH WALNUT SHELL BODY SCRUB

OMG THIS STUFF.....no seriously its amazing. First off it smells like a giant Almond snickerdoodle. Second, your skin will feel INCREDIBLE afterwards. Three, its super cheap! Retail 6.99

BEEN TOO LONG

BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE POSTED.

Everything has happened....and yet nothing at all. Since I'm home sick I might as well get some much needed blogging done.

It is January 7th, 2012.

I will be 21 in 4 days! How Exciting!!!

I have learned a lot.

1. Stick to your guns. People respect it.

2. Know who your friends are. Never neglect them.

3. Don't lie. Its not worth it

4. It can ALWAYS get worse.

5. It takes way more time to win trust than to loose it. And to try to get it back could take a lifetime.

Just my slight words of wisdom. You live and you learn right?

Some things dont change though.

Im still obsessed with Cheetah print. It has hit a new High ( or low) at cheetahprintdiaries.tumblr.com --- yea thats me. go. follow.enjoy.

One of my new years resolution is to blog more. Not for fame but just because I really enjoyed doing it. I hope you enjoy reading it.

smooches <3

REST IN PEACE

ELIZABETH TAYLOR DIED TODAY.

And I must say I am rather sad. The world lost a great beauty. I remember the first time I saw Cleopatra. My mouth was open the ENTIRE movie. She was just So elegant, and so pretty. I wanted to be her. (I still do) Looking at the pictures of her it makes me want to be more of a lady. To stand straighter, talk softer, move more gracefully. I think that is going to be my resolution. In honor of Miss Liz lets all be more lady-like. Lets cut the screaming and the hollering. The neck snapping and the hair swinging. I want to be one of those women who can tell you off without a curse or a raised voice. Modern day example: Michelle Obama. She looks like one of those women. Lets do it girls! Lets do it for Liz, lets do it for us!

Grammy Highlights and Lowlights

So last night was the grammy's. and I must say I was disappointed. For the most part the fashion was boring. (come on usher, you looked like you were going to the mall.) Bieber looked adorbz in his White tux. And of course Rihanna wore some eye popping monstrosity that had heads turning. I was most disappointed in Lady Gaga, who not only looked a whole hot mess, but gave a very lack luster performance. I expected so much more from her after her MTV awards antics and stellar performances. She half redeemed herself with the insane half suit jacket half leotard ensemble paired with thigh high boots, and this hat I LOVED!!!! but still GAGA you have failed me.

Katy Perry brought along Grandma who was killing it with her bedazzled cane, and valentino dress and bolero. Katy was very valentine's themed with her hearts and glitter "firework" performance and the cupid wings she rocked on the red carpet. Nicki Minaj had Leopard hair...yea. Solidifying all the reasons why I love her. Snooki and drake had a interesting flirtatious moment on the carpet. Then she asked him if he "smushed" Rihanna. His face = priceless. (p.s Drizzy. CUT YOUR HAIR!!, you had the freshest cut in the game. PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME REGRET LOVING YOU LIKE I DO.)

I have no words for the following people. Ceelo (Tucan Sam) Green, Janelle ( I only have 1 suit) Monae, and Dr. (It took me 30 minutes to peel this leather jacket on) Dre. I will say that Janelle is starting to grow on me. She still irks me though.

Biggest upset by far had to be that the Biebs walked away empty handed. There was a resounding "WHO????" that echoed throughout numerous households when Esparanza Spalding walked away with the coveted "Best New Artist" award.

My FAVORITE PERFORMANCES go to (In this order) 1. Joleen (Dolly P. tribute) performed by Nora Jones, John Mayer and Keith Urban. 2. Bruno Mars- Grenade ( HE HAS GOT TO RELEASE THAT VERSION!!) 3. Justin Bieber & Jayden Smith (ITS JUST SO MUCH ADORABLE-NESS!!!) 4. Christina A, J-Hud, Martina McBride, and Yolanda Adams Aretha Franklin Tribute. Christina gives me goose bumps, even if she doesn't know the words to the national anthem....and finally, 4. Rihanna & Eminem ( while it was great, Im just really OVER that song.)

My "REALLY?!?!" moment came from Lady Antebellum's "Tribute" to Teddy Pendergrass. A tribute which included the chorus to "If you don't know me by now." .....then ended. I like Lady Antebellum, "Need you know" was my jam. But singing 1 line of a 1 line chorus does NOT constitute as a tribute!! so.. REALLY LADY ANTEBELLUM?!?! REALLY!!?!?!?. And thats all I have to say about that. (Forrest Gump voice)

All in all, this years Grammy's was a #FAIL.

The Emmy's is up next. I can't say I have high hopes. I guess MTV is running the award show game these days..... #sigh.

Bow Tie Me Up

This is the coolest thing I have seen in a while. I modern twist on something classic. Executed with precision and an obvious passion. I'm talking about The Art of EMJ. I was introduced to this duo of charisma during my time at the NOLCHA fashion lounge yesterday. I was blown away by how much I LOVED this creation. Leather bow ties. Doesn't really sound like the almost awesome thing ever. But it is. I found myself wondering why I hadn't seen these in GQ. They're AMAZING! I want to buy one for every man I know. I'm even thinking about getting one for myself and turning it into a bracelet :). I respect the comeback of the bow tie. Especially if the Guys of EMJ are the ones ushering the comeback. The founder and creator Eric M Jenkins is this polished, chic, urban powerhouse of confidence. (Think Common meets Fonsworth Bentley with a light coating of Kanye) His Bio is impressive, I encourage you to read. The Brand representative that accompanied him, Vito C. Williams has equally as much presence. I feel a bow tie revolution coming on.

Follow @TheArtOfEmj & check his blog. Its pretty fantastic. http://theartofemj.wordpress.com/
