Mixing silver and gold jewerly/metals grew on me to the point that appreciate any chance I can get to mix them together subtly. However, a grey rubber and rose gold watch? Yeah, sounds “out there”, but leave it to Michael Kors to make it look fabulous and chic. So lovely.

Spring can’t come quick enough for me right now. Here in Memphis, the weather has been super bi-polar this winter. There have been times that my feet have actually spent a December day in flip flops. Flip flops in December is acceptable and expectant in Florida and California, but not Memphis.
I saw these Jessica Simpson ‘Evannan” shoes a couple a weeks ago now that stores are putting out their spring inventory. Ever since I saw these colorfully cute platform sandals, I’ve been lusting after them. Plus, you all should no that I can’t get enough of cobalt blue anything, let alone shoes. They are available in pink and blue.

I’ve never been a fan of asking for assistance with anything. I was and still am the “independent”one of my parent’s children. So, whenever I want or need something, I’ve always seeked out how to get it myself.
Unfortunately, there have been a few times where I needed someone to help me and I just couldn’t swallow my pride to ask and instead, went without.
However, that all changed when I decided to go ahead and get my health on track. I’ve never been a skinny person. I’m always going to be naturally “chubby” and I’m okay with that. What I’m not okay with is the fat on top of the chubby that’s not trying to go away on it’s own. Oh, how I wish that could happen. Anyway, a few months ago I decided to join a gym. I thought that would be just what I needed and I could do everything myself.
Here’s the thing, gyms have a lot of equipment….A LOT! Aside for the treadmill, elliptical, and exercise bike, everything else just looked like extras from the Transformers movies. After a few weeks of going to the gym sporadically and just hopping on the treadmill for an hour, I knew I needed some help. So, my wallet and I discussed it and decided I should hire a trainer. I have an awesome trainer. Not only did he show me all the equipment and how to use it, but he also gave me the motivation to get up every morning and be deligent about going to gym and sticking to it.
So far, I’ve lost 10 pounds by just going to the gym and my clothes are starting to look baggy, which I’m not really feeling. Still, it was one of the best decisions I’ve made to ask for help and guidance to a path I’ve been trying to get on for years.
So, the moral of this small, but fat tale is that it’s okay to seek guidance when you can’t do it yourself. Hey, we’re not superheroes. Heck, even Superman needed Lois Lane to keep him in the loop on things. This is the time of year when you really need help for your taxes.
When it comes to your tax return, you never have to settle for less with H&R Block. Filing your taxes with H&R Block just became an event worth sharing.

My hair and I are in battle to achieve our desired color. A couple of months ago, I was all about going a nice bright, but natural red. However, the day after Christmas, actually 7am on the day after Christmas I decided that I wanted to go honey blonde. I was so adamant about that decision that I actually got out of bed and went to Walgreens to buy a box of dye.
Unfortunately, I since my hair still had red in it, the color didn’t take. So, I conditioned my hair religiously for a week and then applied a slightly brighter blonde shade. That, my friends, made the red in my hair MORE vibrant. Actually, it was the shade of red I was initially trying to obtain. Figures. Still, I’m sticking to my quest for honey blonde hair. So, in order for me to stay on this path, as I type this, I’m dying my hair back to natural brown. After that, I will be able to try this blonde ambition plan.
So, I’m going to have to give my hair a ish load of hair therapy with deep conditions and extra moisture. Hence, I’ve been picking up hair products to help keep my hair healthy on this pursuit for honey blonde tresses. Here are some recent items I picked up to help me on this journey.

So, every time I go to my beauty supply store I see this KISS liner on the counter by the register. It claims to be smudge proof, dark, and a bunch of other stuff that eventually convinced me to go ahead and buy it.
To keep it short, I love this eye liner. It stays on practically my entire work day (9 hours) it’s waterproof, which is very beneficial for me and my sporadic watery eyes.
Although I haven’t been a fan of felt tip liners or felt tip anything in the past, this tip makes the application a breeze and applies just enough product.
The main reason I haven’t been a fan of felt tip liners in the past is applying the liner over shadow. The outcome was never what I wanted. That was not the case for this liner. The application and product did not affect my eyeshadow AT ALL.
I love this liner and it’s the latest addition to my makeup bag…and daily eye look!

For the past couple of months, many of your fav celebs, including Beyonce in her Love On Top video and most recently, Alicia Keys at a Knicks game with her family, have been seen rocking a hidden wedge sneakers, mainly by Isabel Marant. However, there are other designers and companies that are slowly churning out their own variations of this latest trend.
Basically, the hidden wedge sneaker looks like any other sneaker from the outside, but has a hidden wedge in the heel area for added height comfort. So, here are a few hidden wedge sneakers for you to ponder.

New year, new list. I have really high hopes for this year, mainly because last year was great. Last year, I didn’t make a “resolution”, but instead set a small list of 3 things that I would like to accomplish before the year was out. The things I wanted last year was to get a new job, get my license re-instated(I let it expire years ago), and buy a car. All three things I accomplished between May and August. So, I would like to come up with a list of things I would like to accomplish in 2012. Although the year has already started, I’m not quite sure what I want to accomplish. One thing I know is that I want to find and move to a new place. The BF and I are looking for a place and area that accomadates BOTH of us, which is very tricky.What are some things that you are looking to accomplish in the new year? Maybe I can “borrow” them, myself.
Anyway, here are some things that I would love to acquire this month.
There you have it, the things that I would love to get this month based on the things I’m currently loving or would love to do soon.

Where have I been? Oh, just at the house, kickin it and coughing part of left lung out and blowing partial cranial matter out via my nose while going through numbers of boxes and rolls of tissue. In laymen terms, I’m sick. This weather is too ridiculous.
So, I kind of can’t wait for spring weather to arrive, but that doesn’t mean that we can begin to cop springy accessories like these candy rubber satchels by Furla. They are amazing and simply chic. Although they seem to only be available in blue and yellow, I can’t help but to think and hope that more colorways will be released in the near future. I definitely want the yellow and a neon pink, if I can find it.
