Look of the Day X NwhTROIS Fitting X MimiFaust X Vina Mills!

Snapped a quick photo of me at my first official fitting for @BEmagazine @nwhTROIS fashion show. I opted for a chill yet classy look on the brisk November night. 

I absolutely love my pointy toe highlighter heels. I'm used to wearing heels higher than 4" but I still felt very girly in this number!

I love patterns, so this trend of big bold prints does me justice along with a beautiful colored skinny jeans and point heel shoe with my own Nik_Gold Accessories and a sharp middle part bob.

Vintage : Snakeskin Blouse/ Thift good

Purple Skinnies: H&M

Pink Pointy Toe Stilettos: Shoe Boutique Atlanta , GA

Nik_Gold Designs: Heart Diamond Ring and Spike Earrings

 It is always good running into @VinaMills I previously accessorized her for a Black Socialites magazine cover!

Voting 2012 X Obama X Vote

This year was my first year voting, being the young and vivacious 20 year old lady that I am.

For some reason my old soul felt like I voted the first time around for Obama or just wished I did in those cold DC streets

but I did November 6th 2012 and I was elated to see life changes and history made.

Only 40 years ago President Kennedy's brother was quoted as to see America electing an "Afro-American negro" as president in approximately 40 years and I am proud to say he has been elected for a second run!

Lets be aware voting because he is of a certain race is just as ignorant as not voting at all. Learn why Obama is such a great push for ALL of the people and then support! It doesn't hurt to have a voice. It helps to have a opinion of your own!

BE Mag X Interviews Tichina Arnold

 

The fabulous and talented Tichina Arnold dominates the latest cover of BE Mag Holiday issue and is also casted in TV Land's sitcom "Happily Divorced" also featuring another 90's sitcom love Fran from The Nanny.

Prototype X Andre 3000 X Official Music Video

My favorite song of all time and the first song to bless my blog years ago when most of my posts were straight poetry. lol

I'm dedicating it to...

Change is never wanted but always necessary.

I'm loving how the wind blows, "I think I'm on the right track now"

Enjoy.

Art X Positive Messages

Pink is a powerhouse singer and has been in the music industry for many years. I was more of a fan when she first came out but this inspirational video has me loving her all over again. She incorporates gymnastics in her video like she did at the Music Awards a couple of years ago and it seems like the sport is her new hobby. Cool chick. Most importantly, I love messages like these portrayed in songs/video/media. Watch the video, be inspired and live_Gold!

Music: Brandy Back in Session

R&B artist and former "Moesha" is back at it and better than ever! 90's music has sculpted my love for real R&B and her coming back collaborating with today's hottest artists makes me feel like hope is still alive. And it is really is. 

Brandy 's growth as an artist has shown and she is everywhere including the top of the charts. Even her 90's braids have trended back into the cycle. She is now gracing the cover of Vibe Magazine's October/November 2012 Issue and discussing in her interview dealing with Whitney Houston's passing and her future goals for the industry.

In the words of one of my favorite Stylist/Designers. These shots are EVERYTHING!

Old Brandy videos are the best, Go to "Read More" to view some of my Brandy Throw Back favorites and Brandy X Chris Brown "Put it Down"! =)

Who says you can't dress fashionable with a budget?

Often I see people brag on labels when they are still not stylish in any way of form.

Fashion may be trendy but style is what you do with it, the confidence and taste you have!
