show some skin
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...
fashion ?????s
How would you describe your personal style? “Classy Sex Appeal.”
What five pieces define your everyday style? “Stilettos, Button-ups, high-heel boots, a trench jacket, or a fitted coat, cardigans”
What is the most cherished item in your closet? “Pair of wide leg trousers or my first pair of Manolo Blahnik slingbacks.”
What’s on your wish-list this...

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...

Confess you style sins: Worst Fashion Moment!
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...

Airport: hairy ass vs. pajama pants
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...
Babysitting a water bottle
Nets Game and Water Bottles
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...

Men... Once in a while...

let’s get to it… Mic please!

what is it with that first sip of coffee
So Im just not a morning person. I got to thinking bout coffee. I make a regular visit to Dunkin Doughnuts each morning (wish it was starbucks, but that’s just not on my route) and put in my order for a large coffee WITH ice cubes. I need to take a sip as soon as its in my hands and w/o those icecubes.. it’s to hot. After that sip, I am awake and ready to go. It’s the...
raising the bar
On this Monday afternoon… CHOMPING down on gum to try and avoid snacks, my coworkers and I chat it up. Alana’s stories bout the gym are quite entertaining, but this one WAS HYSTERICAL and so true. Her workout friend believes it’s time to raise the bar ladies. She says ”Barack Obama is president. He is PRESIDENT. Get it together guys cause if you want to talk to me…...
CIRCA 2001 - 2005 University of Connecticut
I’ve been missing college lately. I know I know.. sounds silly. College, for me, changed my life. The unforgettable memories, lessons learned, relationships made and the challenges faced. It was an amazing time and the people I met are irreplaceable to me. “Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart” - Eleanor Roosevelt

ipod need a lift?? Revamp it celeb style!
My ipod needs some serious work. How many times am I going to listen to the same 700 songs. I have it on Shuffle.. and once I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. I knew it needed to be VAMPED UP! I also believe an update on my ipod will motivated me to GET TO THE GYM.

favorite time of the year
Everything from the shopping, the decorating, the food, the cooking of the food, the family and the love makes me SO happy this time of year. Thanksgiving is acomin and I’m sure bout 7lbs will soon-after, BUT I really just don’t care the food is too good. This year my cousins and I thought it would be great to get our fathers (four brothers) together and we are arranging it! ...
MUST SEE
I would consider going to the movies a hobby of mine. I love them! Call me crazy, but I even like going alone sometimes!! So this beautiful Fall Sunday was spent at the park, BLOGGING, and ended with a movie, Role Models. It was HYSTERICAL. I want to see it again! Go see it.. It will lift your mood.

traveling chic
Holidays are comming and travelers are packing!! I am actually taking a trip to my parents/brothers condo in Myrtle Beach just to get away for a minute before the holidays. I personally like to be as comfortable as I can be while flying just in case I have a surprise anxiety attack! Flying is stressful as it is, now add in the worry of putting a comfortable, yet fabulous, outfit together. Juicy...
Halloween is SO much fun
The girls and I played dress up and had a fun ass time.. let me tell you. It’s great walking the streets and seeing people in the funniest costumes… getting on a jam packed train and sitting next to the puppet from Saw (scary)… taking pics with strangers just because they have a great costume on. It was fun to see all the kiddies in the day so excited to wear their...

It was a grand 25th birthday
First, I am so in love with my friends and family. It’s crazy how birthdays go from wanting the coolest toy @ toy-r-us.. to wanting mom to take you the mall… to just wanting to be surrounded by the people you love.
Dos Caminos. Quacamole was reDONKulous. Platanos were redonkulous. The restaurant was dim, small bar was pack, outside area was full in 50 degree weather. The later it...
step away from the computer
shopping online can be an addiction for many. Sometimes I find myself surfing online for hours searching for clothes that I have no idea if they would look good or bad on me. Does that even make sense?? Just get your lazy ass to the mall or NYC and stop wasting money on shit you are going to have to return w/ a trip to the post office.
Let me just tell you bout the lil addiction my cousin...
Keeping it hot and heavy
It’s hard now-a-days to keep in a happy and healthy relationship, talking from experience and observation. Its my worst fear to meet the man of my dreams, fall in love, happy, excited, great sex, all that good stuff you fall for and have it slowly dim out and become routine and BORING. Lets be honest keeping things “hot” forever isn’t easy, but it is important! Sexy text...
Shoe Cleanse
OK. Here is a pic of bout 1/2 of my shoe collection. It is a MESS. I believe if I was to do a Fall, our country is in a recession and I feel guilty buying more shoes, cleanse… it might satisfy the urge to add more! Here is my goal. ORGANIZE. Take some older shoes to the shoemaker and fix up like new!
BEFORE:
It might take a little while to get this together..

Every Woman Should Have...
Read something today (it’s pretty popular and an old one) but thought was worth sharing because it’s by far the best thing I saw today aside from K.L.R. - Sil
Every Woman Should Have

Happy Birthday to ME!
Aw the coworkers.. They’re so sweet!! Strawberry shortcake… gonna take the day off from the gym and the diet! Thank you ladies!!! 25 and feeling great.. it’s gonna be a great day… and rest of the week and year!
Response to the "fashion" trend below
SIL…. there is no waythese are stylish, sexy, flattering or savvy from any angle you look at them. I mean just take a look at how trashy they are. Fashion does take extremes.. but this is just an attempt to try (way to hard) to be different. Come on. Oh yea… they look SO good!! NOTE: I am not a britney hater, BUT this just isnt OK.

bedtime stories
i got to thinking bout a lil trip I took a while back.. and trips my girlfriends are heading out to and why we put any thought into outfits to sleep in. I find this an important outfit actually. Sleeping is amazing. I like to feel happy in what i’m wearing while i’m doing it. Makes it all the better!!
Now if we are keeping it casual and practical I would go with a plain cotton...
the gym saga continues..
I am making moves people. this is the truth. worked late. got to the gym. worked out. almost passed out. went food shopping. almost passed out. felt nauseous. drove to my friends place. cooked tilapia. baked a cake for him. FEEL GREAT!!

WatchI was a lil camera happy this night (Madonna Night). I was on such a high from the concert. NYC is crazy. It truly amazes me. The streets are packed. The lines for clubs are unreal. The drink prices are insane. BUT it’s truely is like no other place. We headed over to Tenjune after the concert and danced the night away. Here’s some “footage.”

what a compliment
thomas to me:
you are pretty, nice hair. but if you claim to be a teacher, it might be prudent to learn how to spell “truly” correctly, and not “truely”. and we wonder why our youth fails. AND JUST VISITED YOUR BLOG. NICE JOB TO BE HONEST. PLEASE LEARN TO SPELL “TRULY” CORRECTLY
so I got some hate mail today. I would like to thank Thomas for complimenting my...
