High Slits

(Cheap Monday dress/ Mary Jane Platforms/ Vintage purse(tucked in strap to use as clutch)/ Wooden ring, watch,bracelets all from travels to Vietnam/ Bebe Statement Ring/ Ebay earrings)

I bought this dress earlier this month from the Designer Warehouse. In love with this piece because it's very versatile. It's a looser fit which is why the open and high slit gives it the perfect balance for some sexiness. Who doesn't like a little leg? ;) I'm always afraid that light color palettes wash me out, so thank goodness for red lipstick. Topped it off with a more maroon colored lipgloss..Love how it makes my hair color pop. I've also worn this piece more open at the front of the slit and belted over some wide leg jeans. Makes for a more casual ensemble & still faboosh:)

Clothes Diggin'

Went to a Designer Warehouse earlier this week to of course shop for myself and to also check out new merchandise. I was in Designer la la land, as usual because there were so many good pieces. I was so inspired that I decided to now include Designer pieces to the online store. I'm hoping to have some merchandise posted on Ebay within the next couple weeks so stay tuned for an AMAZING collection. Here's a sneak peek to what you can expect.xo!

P.M. Regimen

Time to share some more beauty secrets. I shared in previous posts how I am starting to be obsessed with changing my face products to focus on hydration and anti-wrinkle wonder creams. If in your teens to early 20s, you basically should just keep a regular habit of cleansing the face with no real focus on problem areas(Unless you have acne, which oh boy...I had my fair share of them red dots..but don't worry I have a product that helps with those bad boys) From late 20s to early 30s, your face cleansing regimen should change to creams that prevent wrinkles to minimize appearance of lines. By the way, can you all guess my age?? (Curious what you all think? Which hopefully this question doesn't bite me in my ass)

Products are most effective after showering..probably due to the steam opening up pores, so I typically shower again at night or at least rinse off while I wash my face. I spray Dermalogica multi-active toner to bring the ph levels back to where it's supposed to be. I just started to use StriVectin for anti-wrinkle purposes. I heard great things about this product from my mother's friends, who all have great skin. My mom decided to purchase it from Costco since they were having a promotion..Normally $144.99 but after the discount it was about $100.00 for two bottles with an additional eye cream. And of course my product obsession caused me to steal the extra bottle from my momma dearest:) I dab Clinique Moisture surge just around the eyes to give extra hydration to any lines. And lastly, I use Retin-A Micro, which must be prescribed by a doctor. I've been using this for what feels like all my life to help zap acne and also helps to prevent wrinkles. As you get older, the skin loses its elasticity and collagen. It takes a longer time to exfoliate to produce new skin so Retin-A helps to increase skin cell turnover. AND PLEASE DON"T FORGET:SUNBLOCK, SUNBLOCK, SUNBLOCK in the A.M.!!!! :)

New Beginnings

2012 is officially here and I hope everyone is off to a great new beginning..with no regrets, no baggage, no negativity, but instead with a clean slate, love, and positivity! My goal this year is to do as much as I possibly can, spend as much time possible with as a many people as I can , and be at however many places I can be in one day..in other words...busy busy busy bee:) Hence, my outfit posts may be at numerous different places in one day. By the way, excuse how white my face is in some of the photos..think the camera was on the wrong setting, but I just made people take a quick pic so I could do this post. Happy 2012 friends!

Runs In The Genes

Introducing new rising star..Selah Marley, who is the daughter of Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley...And of of course, I must note the granddaughter of legendary, Bob Marley. This beauty is only 13 years old and already has a spread in Teen Vogue. I'm sure we will be seeing more of her in the future so keep your eyes on the watch. An identical resemblance to her talented momma if you ask me. FYI...Ms. Lauryn Hill is scheduled to perform at the Hollywood Palladium on Valentine's Day, so cop your tickets now!

One of my favorite offspring from the music world is no other than Zoe Kravitz. With gorgeous and stylish parents like Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, how can you not be blessed with star quality genes?! An already established model, actress, & lead singer of Elevator Fight..it looks as though this 22 year old is already a triple threat, and her sense of style has def kept her on my radar.
