NEW SHOES from Lola Shoetique, Go Jane & Aliexpress


One thing that you need to know about me is that I love, Love, LOVE shoes. They are my ultimate weakness. Sneakers, heels, sandals and flats, it does not matter I love them. With that being said, I recently picked up a few pairs of shoes to get ready for the Spring/Summer season. I bought from Go Jane (gojane.com), Lola Shoetique (lolashoetique.com) and Aliexpress (aliexpress.com). Below is a closer look at the shoes purchased as well as a video of me showing off the shoes. 


I bought these shoes from Lola Shoetique. These are called "Making Moves" in Mint. This are made from faux leather with a 5 inch heel (even though they do not seem that tall). These shoes also have a platform (1.5 inches), which makes them more comfortable than the single sole heels. The color and the ankle strap makes them very sexy and perfect for the coming season. 


I also bought those beauties from Lola Shoetique. These are named "Lavish Life" in Coral. These are a faux suede shoe with gold studs. They resemble a very popular Christian Louboutin shoe. The heel heigh is 4.5 inches. I have been eyeing these for a long time but could never find them in my size. I am so glad that I found them and I think this color compliments my skin very well. If I do say so myself *Jay-Z voice*


I purchased these shoes from Go Jane. These are the "Hit The Bar" Platted Strappy Heels. These are single soled so I can only assume that they are not meant for long term wear. The heel height is 4.5, but they actually feel a bit shorter than that. The "gold-platted" effect is simply that, an effect. Don't expect anything high quality but they look great, clearly.  


Lastly, I bought these thigh high boots from Aliexpress.  This are inspired by the Tony Bianco thigh high boots. However, these are much cheaper and of course of lower quality. I am not 100% sure what material these boots are made of, but they feel like imitation suede (that could be wrong). The heel height is a measly 3.5 inches. I would have loved if these were a bit taller. Also, the laces of these boots are so long. I am unsure of what I am even suppose to do with them. I can say that I am happy with the look that these boots give, which is the key factor anyway.

Trend Alert: Ponytails!

Ponytails are slowly become fashionable once again, and I am somewhat happy. I expect this is going to be a very hot Spring/Summer season, so the ability to wear your hair out of your face and off your neck is going to be glorious. As of lately many celebs have been spotted wearing ponytails. For example, Jennifer Lopez was spotted wearing this "Barbie" like ponytail during a recent taping of American Idol (and looked absolutely gorgeous).

Rihanna was also gave us her take of the ponytail by wearing a long ponytail with bangs.

I can't wait to try out this trend. Stay tuned!

Spring Makeup Look with MAC Heroine

I recently purchased MAC's "Heroine" lipstick, and I have to say I am absolutely in love with this color. I think it is the perfect shade for Spring and Summer. So I decided to do a very simple makeup tutorial to showcase this new lipstick. Check it out below.

New Shoes!!!! Air Max 90s: Metallic Gold and Neon

I recently came across a replica shoe site that I decided to give a try. I do not endorse replica shoe sites but I wanted this shoes so I gave in. I like to think of it as wearing cosmetic or fake jewelry. It's not that I cannot afford the expensive stuff, its just that I do not want to buy it. 

So I picked up two pairs of Air Max 90s, the metallic gold and the neon. After seeing both pairs come across my Tumblr dashboard for months I knew I had to have them. I also saw BeyoncĂ© in them and new it was time to find these bad boys. With no luck, I ended up on Exsneaker.ru. 


They are not made like the original whatsoever so they are an obvious replica, however how can you pass up on gold metallic shoes.





I also bought the neon Air Max 90s. These also are not like the original shoe but the neon pops so nice that they are hard to resist. 




It's the gamble you play when you use these replica sites. I ended up with two pairs of shoes that are not exact replicas of the original. However they are good to the eye so I couldn't resist.

My failed attempt at a faux bob


I attempted to do a faux bob and it was a borderline fail. It was kinda cute though.  

I curled all of my hair with a wand. After i sectioned my hair in three sections and just pinned it up to create the illusion of a faux bob. Where I failed is that it kept falling and I guess I didn't pull out enough hair towards the back. It will be better next time. 



I was watching Ugly Betty. Oh how I miss this show.

Please help me figure out ways to make this look work. Thanks

New Hair From RPGSHOW

I recently took the plunge in purchasing one of RPGSHOW's full lace wigs. I ordered the cls-034s Blonde, which is also known as the Tamar Braxton wig. Although I am very happy with my purchase I thought I would be more satisfied with the wig. Watch my full review below.

My First Wig!

Over the weekend I purchased my first wig. I am looking to make a transition out of weaves and into full wigs so I thought I would give it a test run with a synthetic wig.

I purchased the FreeTress Equal Wig in the Viera style, color 1, which is Jet Black. This is a synthetic wig that allows heat up to 400 degrees. Overall, the feel of the wig definitely resembles human hair. I do not foresee me wearing this wig for a long time because I can already see some tangling. Nonetheless I am happy with this impulsive purchase.

Throwback Thursday: Jersey Dresses

There was once a time in my life where I was obsessed with jersey dresses. For example, this Jersey dress by FUBU is an exact picture of the one that I use to own.

Now athletic wear has made and is making a major comeback. I've been a part of the trend. I'm pictured here wearing the Topshop '86' jersey with Air Jordan Retro 11 sneakers.


I already know that this summer will be flooded with women taking on this male trend. I've even pulled out some of my old jerseys. 

I am so excited to get some more retro jersey and pair them with the most dainty heels. Summer '14 hurry up already!

My Last Birthday!

I have made the executive decision that I will no longer celebrate my birthday, however I must admit that this last birthday celebration was amazing! I went out every night Thursday through Sunday, with my actual birthday being on Sunday, January 5th.

Thursday I decided to rally my friends for some laser tag. I don't like to exercise and I don't like to run so I'm not too sure how I came up with the idea but I have to admit it was a lot of fun! I felt so fluorescent under those lights (Shoutout to Beyoncé).
I wore a white crop tank, Forever 21 white distressed jeans, and Air Jordan Retro 5.

Friday night was somewhat lowkey but I met some great people. Saturday night, me and my girls went to a club in Hollywood. I have to say the club was kind of wack, but I enjoyed being with my friends. 



I wore a SheInside black and white dress, Mary Jane style heels and vintage Chanel bag. MAC Cosmetic's "Flat Out Fabulous" on my lips. 

Sunday, my actual birthday, I went out with my friends during the day. That night we all went to the strip club. 

 Although not pictured, I wore an American Apparel backless swimsuit and American Apparel denim circle skirt with Zara sandal heels. 


Overall, I absolutely enjoyed this birthday. Watch the video below of my wonderful birthday present from my best frannnns. I love them soo much!

Lipstick Review: NYX "Maison" and MAC Cosmetics "Exclusive Event"

I recently purchased two new lipsticks that are both in the nude/neutral/brown family, MAC's "Exclusive Event" and NYX "Maison". I am absolutely in love with both of these lipsticks but I think I like the NYX "Maison" a lot more. 
What I love about the "Exclusive Event" is that it comes in this gold packaging opposed to the traditional silver MAC package. This color is also known to be a dupe for the RiRi Hearts Mac "Nude" color that came out in October 2013. This is a satin lipstick that goes on like a dull brown with hints of grey. I will say that this lipstick dries horribly on your lips, giving off that cakey look after long hours of wear. 
I absolutely love this color because it is a true brown shade. I love dark colors and this is such a versatile color. For it to be a matte lipstick it is not dry at all. Not to mention the price is only $5.99, which is an absolute bargain!

Below watch my review of both lipsticks!
