Gladiator Shoes!

Another trend for this summer is gladiator shoes. I saw them couple years ago or maybe even last year, Naomi Campbell but it's not until this year that it actually became a great trend! There different ones from knee high, flats, heels and wedges. Here's some examples:

Don't know how to wear them?
Well the number 1 rule is to
-GET A PEDICURE!
-Since summer is around the corner you can wear any gladiator with a hot summer dress and just go to the park, BBQ or just hanging out with your friends and family.
-Nice summer shorts to go to the beach or slim fit jeans.
Just Have Fun with them!

Here's couple examples from some celebrities maybe you'll be inspired by one of them:





Michelle Williams





Naomi Campbell





Miley Cyrus




& Rihanna

Cassie VS. Karina Pasian

So I finally heard Cassie new single "Official Girl" and totally fell in love with it. (Like where was this song a year ago!!!!!!???) I think any girl could relate to this song.. You want to be his "wifey" but the dude is still fronting after being his "friend" or "just talking" for like 4 years!! All right maybe I'm exaggerated but you get the point. So then I find there is another girl who sings the same song.. Karina Pasian, a 16-year-old Dej Jam artist so now I sorta kinda like the way she sings it. Listen and then tell me what you think...



Cassie version:





Karina version:

Rihanna - Take A Bow

I love Rihanna! And this song is awesome, ultimate breakup song.. kinda remind me of "Irrepleacable" but I still love you Rih Rih!! Enjoy

Ne-yo - Closer

Ne-yo coming out with a new album this summer.. I wonder how good this one will be. Some people told me that the second one was good, I heard it but I think I like the first one better. He did have some good songs on the second one tho.. What you think?

Alicia Keys on 106 & park

ALthough I didn't watch the episode but I came across this picture of Alicia Keys rocking these awesome heels








Did my search and these are Christion Dior's Blue Angel Spectator Pumps











The closed-toe (Mary Jane) version, is retailed at $825 and the opened-toe at $1,060 which you can find both of these Dior heels at either Neiman Marcus, or SAKS boutiques, or on www.eluxury.com

WTH EXCLUSIVE

Remember Sara from Diddy's group "DA BAND" ? (one of the making the band season? the all black one where every episode they were fighting?) Well here's an update on her ..




Notice anything different? That's her husband in the picture by the way.
I love her voice! Hmmmm people are crazy nowadays

You probably know already...

But if you don't .... Tia Mowry (From the Game; love that show by the way) got married last weekend to her longtime boyfriend Corey Hardrict. She wore a couture Kevan Hall wedding gown.




She looks so beautiful...

P.S. Don't she look pregnant? Hmmmm..

Did you know?

That Kanye West and his fiancee Alexis Phifer called it quits.. I loved them! They were like B and Jay but their style are so amazing.. Always felt like this is how me and my future honey going to look like.. hehehe










And here they are rocking the red carpet..



Or just being so cute!

As we all know ...

The cops from Sean Bell case were acquitted. The detectives were found not guilty of charges of manslaughter, assault and reckless endangerment in the death of Sean Bell 23, and the wounding of two of his friends. It's not like we shouldn't expect this because it's 2008 and racism is still alive and kicking (i.e. Jena 6; Amadou Diallo). An unarmed man gets shot 50 times and you telling us that there was problems found with the prosecution’s case. Judge Arthur Cooperman said some prosecution witnesses contradicted themselves. How crazy is our justice system? And I thought there was only one black guy but there was actually two! They stood there during the press conference this afternoon each coming to the stand and thanking "their Lord and Savior" like this was an award show. This is really sad and painful to see a family suffer like this.

I wonder how these detectives are feeling, living their lives knowing that they killed an young innocent man.



Prayers goes out to the Bell family.

Alicia Keys - Teenage Love Affair

I love love love AKEYS! This video premiered on wednesday and I absolutely love it.. It's just so cute. On the phone with your booboo, talking about nothing, giggling and the butterflies.. ahhh the old days..

Lupe Fiasco - Paris, Tokyo

I'm so happy that he actually made a video for this song.. my number one favorite song on the album!!! Love the clothes specially the outfit that he's wearing while he's in Egypt.. I just had another vision for it tho , thought he was actually going to take the girl to all the countries with him hmm but I LOVE IT..

SBU (African Student Union) Fashion Show '08

Saturday I attended the African Student Union fashion show at Stony Brook University.. I was excited to see what other schools had to bring specially when I never really attended a University fashion show. Doors were actually suppose to open at 7pm but it opened at 9pm (yes 2hours waiting on a line!!!!!!!.

So after that all I can think of "This better be a great show for them to make me stay on this line for so darn long".. Show started around 9:20/30pm.

Light dimmed.. first scene starts. BODY PAINT








Hmmm.. okk


Second scene. A future look.











Now when I think about future I think about metal, leather kinda of like ANTM last season theme, that to me is something that could be a Future scene.. For example:














OK so this was the bathing suit scene..














Most of the time you could not see the "bathing suit" because of the white shirt that was used as the cover and even if that's how the designer or stylist wanted it to be the models should have worked with it, unbutton the shirt so we could see what's underneath and showcase the bathing suit.




Now let's move on to the lingerie..


Homegirl made a super crazy entrance! She crawled on the stage!! I was amazed. Never in my life have I seen a crawl on a fashion show stage







And she did a split when she was leaving the stage..




So after a while I got tired of taking pictures, my buddy Glen took over but then he got tired and stopped lol.
There was basically no clothes to showcase as FASHION in the show.. Body paint was art that I enjoyed because I thought it was really dope. The future scene was cute that probably was the only FASHION scene in the show but could have been better. I think some of the models lacked energy, attitude in their walk because of all the choreograph things that they did (which could totally bored the audience I know it bored me seeing the same thing over and over again). But I definitely give them many many kudos for having a entertaining show.

Oh and Ricky Blaze performed!


I don't think anyone knew who he actually was (I know I didn't)





And that's me after the show =)

Lupe Fiasco feat. Nikki Jean - Hip-Hop Saved My Life

I absolutely love Lupe Fiasco (got both albums) and this is one of my favorite songs on the album. I think at a point everyone feels/felt like Hip-Hop saved them and without it where would we be? Enjoy..

My lovelies!

As you all know LaGuardia Community College is holding their annual Black Expo (date has been changed.. will announced new date soon)..
