A new trend bares all!! This right here exemplifies my classy sex appeal style. Tucked into shorts and skirts or layered over pants, black lace, mesh, and sheer prints I find most attractive. Show off tube bras or fully strapped styles. I am absolutely a fan of this look, BUT keep it classy. Over do it.. and you cross right over into the trashy category. UNFORTUNATLY, I don’t think I could pull this off because I have a lot of cleavage and I’ll resemble more of a stripper. (I will try though!!) Be careful w/ this look.

what is it with the dating scene. I am starting to get a lil concerned. I thought I actually heard my cousin say she has the worst luck with men… o wait SHE DID SAY THAT! Now ladies we can’t take that perspective! Now I KNOW I’m not an expert in this area what-so-ever.. but I truly believe we can not automatically make ourselves the problem. That we are the reason we are not having “luck” w/ men. It’s not us and it’s not them (it might be them haha).. it’s just not a good match and then you’re gonna be off to the next. But that is what dating is all about!! It’s exausting, but you need to kiss a hell of a lot of frogs till you find that prince. It’s hard, NEWSFLASH we are strong ladies and there is just no way we are settling on a half-ass man. It’s tough finding your right match, so many flavors out there now-a-days, but we have time! Take this time to become whole. To develop YOU and grow, find your interests, be there for your family and friends. Become desirable and independent. Start bringing shit to the table! What makes you feel sexy? What makes you happy? What makes you laugh hysterical? What makes you pissed? You learn a lil more bout YOU from every wrong guy you date! Everyone is looking for that perfect person, but what about the perfect YOU! The self that makes YOU happy!
Nicole,
Your smile captivates many. You’ve got the luck! You are YOU!
We’ve all had our fashion tragedies!! I wish I had some evidence of my worst fashion moment, but the best I can do is give you my best description. I thought I was soooo cool running round college w/ camel-toe in almost every single pair of jeans!! JEEZ… it wasn’t enough that I was a size 4. I just HAD to squeeze myself in a size2. In reality this made me look heavier as my body was trying it’s hardest to squeeze into them. My friends gave me an intervention and gently broke the news to me. I re-evaluated my closet immediately. Hey… we live we learn!! Girls… very important advice here… wear clothes that actually fit you.. it’s much sexier and appealing to the eye. You are what size you are… be sexy in your size!! Share your worst fashion moments! Sill how bout you… hmmm could it be the gap or CK t-shirts. OR maybe that tube top dress @ the gap!
Sadly, Lipstick Jungle is cancelled and will not return for a new season. Terrible news for me as I just love all the characters style. Here is my fav character and her look for less!!
OK. Since I cannot hook on to the internet w/o paying for it at the LaGuardia Airport (that is terrible) I guess I’m going to bog on word and post it later. Haha. This airport is crazy today. As I was driving over the George Washington Bridge you couldn’t see a building in the NYC Skyline because of a heavy fog. Therefore flights are delayed and people are freaking out! As I was checking in there was a mother/daughter before me SCREAMING at the attendant. I felt extreme anxiety just listening to these people. Obviously they were having a bad day. I wanted to tell them. “HEY.. OBAMA IS PRESIDENT. YIPEE!! NO STRESS! You are too blessed to be stressed!” Now I’m at my gate and there is not a seat in this place. I found myself hanging at a lil bar, BUT my battery was dying. So now I’m sitting on the floor next to an outlet (charging up the laptop cause my anxiety needs to watch a movie on the plane). I feel dirty just sitting here. Which leads me to think about earlier posts where I talked about “What to wear when traveling” and I swear people just DO NOT care (probably cause they’ll end up sitting on the floor like me). I think when people are traveling they WANT to pull out their rag clothes. The dusty sweats, the shoes with holes in the sole… NO SHOWER. NO MAKEUP. I think people think… “I’m traveling today, let me look my worst.” Not me. I would literally want to die if I was sitting on this dirty floor and looking terrible as well! I pulled out Jbrand skinny jeans, Armani Exchange red button up, Theory trench coat, black and white tweed hat and Miss Sixty boots. Oh and I had to wear a sweatshirt cause my bag was overweight and had to empty out some stuff. Haha. Of course right. Airports are annoying and stressful as it is, so a cute outfit might be just what you need to not give a shit (and an ipod). SPOTTED> Female about mid twenties in PAJAMA PANTS. I swear they have snow globes on them and they are flannel. Now can you imagine snuggling in bed w/ those same pajama pants you wore in the LaGuardia Airport. If that isn’t a transmission of germs… YUCK. Goodness where are all these people going??
1hr later waiting… SPOTTED> Male about late thirties wearing True Religion Jeans w/ his hairy ass EXPOSED to the entire airport. What is wrong guy.. PUT SOME UNDERWEAR ON! Chubby Hairy Ass Exposure. It made me and a few others laugh our asses off. I mean really… he was asking for it. His shirt was way too short and his belly was hanging out. He had to know.
So I went to the Nets game on Wednesday and, as always, had a great time! BUT I have one small concern. Why do they take the cap off you water bottle? I understand just making you throw it out, but taking the cap??? What is the point? They didn’t smell it for alcohol. Security just left me with a full water bottle and no cap. SO I felt like I had to babysit this bottle of water the entire night. Make sure it didn’t fall, didn’t get on anything and of course germs didn’t get on the rim. It was a job at the game and very annoying. THEN I went to use the restroom and I had my water bottle in my hand and had to rest it up against the toilet paper since I couldn’t put it in my bag (NORMAL) How gross is that?? Hahahaha. I had the throw it away after that. Do they want you to babysit your water? Is that the point?
This post is inspired by a statement my dear friend Weisberg made… Something along the lines of “Once in a while you ladies should just surprise us with….” you can imagine what was next.. I’ll tell ya…BJs. Well I have some “i could use ____ once in a while” ideas of my own to share w/ you men.
let’s get to it… Mic please!
Men, once in a while…
have dinner waiting for your special lady. Prepare a bubble bath. Do all this w/o expecting a BJ in return.
give your special lady pleasure w/o expecting a BJ in return.
watch dirty movies and put your own spin on it. Try not to re-in-act exactly what the professionals do.
make your woman a gift and put some thought into it.
plan a special night out for NO reason.
stop demanding a BJ. Women enjoy pleasing their man.
ask us how our day was and remain engaged throughout the entire conversation.
kiss our forehead.
if you want sex while we are dead asleep… wake us up romantically and ease us.
open the car door.
give us the last bite.
order for us. Something new for us to try.
creep over the other side of the table and grab a chair. Sit next to us.
I’ll let you know how these work out. Been wanting a pair ever since Serena from Gossip Girl graced the streets on NY in them. I believe them to be perfect for a flight ;) Great Deal.
