Nelly Takes Shots At The Label

So the Hip Hop chart topper recently released his newest album, "5.0" earlier this month. He has collaborations with Akon, T-Pain, Keri Hilson and more. He even made a part two to his biggest selling hit, "Dilemma" feat. Kelly Rowland. He sold 63,000 the first week, making this album release the worst first week sales in his whole career.

Earlier today rapper Nelly got on twitter and started pointing fingers. He blamed Universal for the lack of promotion and claimed they only shipped out 200,000 copies. Are Nelly's accusations true or does he just suck a**? Lol. I'm going with both!

Get "lyrics N lipstick's Formal 2010 look

I've been getting multiple messages asking me to speak about my formal look- which actually got me the best dressed female. To tell you the truth, this was the easiest look I've ever done! I did the makeup of 5 girls, only had 30minutes to get ready and couldn't even curl my hair! But its ok! I guess it all worked out! The thing is people usually dress up in black in formal events. I love black dresses, however when everyone is wearing black- its hard to stand out. So, I chose a straight cut short, royal blue with a halter cut. See the pic below

I can't stress how easy this look is.  You just need a vibrant blue dress and accessorize it with silver. I got the silver shoes at "Necessary Clothing" for $19.99. They are comfortable and very cute. Steve Madden and Aldo's had similar shoes but range from $60- $120- and a fashionista is a recessionista! lol

Because it was a halter cut dress, I did not wear much jewelry- I just wore some dramatic earrings- which I bought at forever 21 for about $8.00 Check below

 

 As far as the makeup, I kept it glamorous yet simple enough for anyone to duplicate.  I used Silver, a darker shimmery silver and royal blue- which I blended in with the dark shimmery silver. Please comment below if you want me to explain how I did my eyes.

Just add some confidence and your personal swag and there you have it!!!

ENJOY!!!!

Sexy Yourself with Lace!

My sexy and independent ladies...Guess what!? Lace is back and especially if its black- but nude is cute too.( I'm really feeling how these words are rhyming) You know me, when it comes to research..and I've seen lace in most of the hottest fashion shows. 

I personally love wearing laced items, however, some females feel a bit uncomfortable because sometimes skin is being shown. If this is the case, you can wear a simple cami under and still look sexy. Now, if you are wearing it without a cami, try to wear the same color bra as the color of the lace. This keeps the look polished, yet sexy. Some wear it with a different color bra and it can look as if you are trying to hard (just saying) Below, I have posted some items that you might enjoy. Please visit my fav online store for more looks www.karmaloop.com

D.I.Y BOWS FOR YOUR SHOES :)

How sweet does that sound? "Bows for your shoes" I've had moments in which I don't wanna wear a pair of pumps because I've worn them so many times to the point that people will recognize them and think those are the only shoes I have. (Lol)I have the tendency to wear the same shoes until I wear them out! lol..But that's not the case! The case is that at times females only buy one pair of heels for the "special occassions" BUT have no fear! you can turn those heels into "different heels" by accessorizing them with some cute bows! I did some research and I found the easiest way to make them( S/O to whattowear.com) 

These are the items YOU need to create the cute bows....You don't need to make them out of leather. I personally made them out of fabric.  You can choose to hot glue them on, BUT what I did was, I made a bow and sowed on a paper clip on the back of the bow so that I can clip them ANYWHERE on my shoe.  You don't have to use a paper clip. There are other clips that you can find in craft stores!

 OR

You can get the hair bows that come with the clip attached already and clip them on! Its all about being creative! :)

ENJOY!! Comment if you like, need more information on how to make them or just to say hi:)

Show Stoppin' Foot Candy

Fashionistas, I have come to the conclusion that we no longer have to really worry about our outfits because its all about what is on our feet. Shoes can make or break your outfits. Personally, I rather splurge on shoes than clothes. The reason why is because if you splurge on fierce shoes, they last longer than cheaper shoes, people are less likely to have them on and they will give your outfit a better quality look. For example, what I do is, I'll buy my outfit in Forever21. Ill spend around $50 to$ 75, use the accessories I have at home and splurge on some crazy, loud shoes. And I can guarantee that EVERYONE stops me in the street and asks me where I got my outfit and shoes from. lol. (I just spilled my secret to looking fabulous) Karmaloop.com has the BEST shoe collection EVER! They have so many brand! I usually get my shoes there because its a website and people are more likely to go physically shopping than online- so you'll find more exclusive stuff online( just spilled another secret. lol)  Below I have posted some amazing shoes that will look great on every fashionista.

LIPSTICK OF THE MONTH

Every month, I will present to you a lipstick that will go wonderfully with any complexion- because this blog site is for everyone! I can say that I used to HATE lipstick. I never really felt comfortable wearing it. I learned that it all depends on your skin tone, time of day and your attitude. I don't wear lipstick everyday, but when I wanna get my sexy diva on, I love to wear it! Some men love the pop of the lips- so give it a try!...Not only for the men, but for yourself because if you are on this site, its because YOU ARE FAB-U-LOSO! The shade that I chose is a Red-ish Fuchsia. Its playful because its not too red or too pink- its just right. You can keep your eyes simple so that your lips can be the main attention of your face or you can go all out. You can choose to line your lips with a similar shade or a nude pencil to prevent it to run.  I love lipstick because If I don't wanna put makeup on, I can put on a bright shade on and I am ready to GO!

SPLURGE: M.A.C in "Full Fushia" $14.50

STEAL: Sephora Brand Rouge Cream Lipstick in " Mr. Lover" $12.00

Fab Faux Fur Fashionista

My Fabulous Fashionistas! I am happy to announce that Faux Fur is in. The reasons why are:

1. Its an inexpensive way to look chic, elegant and depending on the style eclectic( my fav word)

2. It's faux! So no cute creatures are harmed in this

3. It's warm!!

You can choose a Faux fur jacket and pair it with a simple black dress and some pearls for a classy  look OR you can pair with some white skinny jeans, lots of jewelry and some funky foot wear and look ultra Chic- punk.

If you want to minimize the amount of faux fur, go for a scarf, or ear muffs or even a vest! Trust me, this is an investment you want to make because it looks like it is here to stay for a couple of more seasons.  Below I have posted some pictures of some Fab Faux Fur pieces from one of my fav stores- Forever21!
