Bad Bitches Only!

Hey Guys!! As I'm sitting here multitasking, better yet procrastinating studying for this midterm tomorrow I had to get on here and talk about one of my Favorites in the fashion world who never ceases to give me life.

For the A/W 13' season Balmain has given me everything that I needed and more. Balmain is well known for their impeccable craftsmanship when it comes to leather, the razor-sharp shoulders of their jackets, and the overall badass-ness of the brand. A key technique that was seen again this season was weaving, different metallic leathers were woven together to create the appearance of tweed on some of the jackets in this collection. Exaggeration and edge were all over this runway and OPULENCE was the word of the evening #blingbling and more bling. This collection also featured booties donning a super slim tortoise shell heel and suede boots that gave a new definition to thigh-high. When asked if these hip-high boots were hard for the models to get into the houses designer Oliver Rousteing responded by saying;

"No, it's fine. At Balmain, everything is fine."

 

I must agree with you with Mr. Rousteing everything at Balmain is fine, including you:-).

 

PS. I need to own all of this AND I could  totally see Samantha from Sex in the City KILLIN' this whole collection.

Love is Love

Hey guys! I had to just get on here really quickly and share this with you. As I was looking for images to put into this presentation I'm giving on Monday I came across this article about two men, Tshepo Cameron Modisane and Thoba Calvin Sithole,  who recently got married in KwaDukuza which is a town in  KwaZulu-Natal,  South Africa. What is really amazing to me is they did it in the traditional African way (which was noted to be the first ever) with rituals, sacrifices, and even wearing the attire of the tribes they represent. I found this really inspiring it takes a lot of courage to do this especially in Africa where so many can be legally killed just for someone thinking they are gay. Tshepo (R) was quoted saying;

 "We see no reason to hide in darkness as if there is something to be ashamed about. Our marriage is largely symbolic and a sign that black gay men can commit and build family through a happy and loving marriage".

 The support from their family and friends speaks volumes and I hope they live an amazing life together, oh and did I mention they are both gorgeous!?

All about a Midi

Hey guys! So I have recently come across a new jewelry obsession, which came on after I painted my nails, this happens often. Its like I get pretty hands and I want to adorn them with amazing things. The obsession is the Midi-Rings. They are actually a big thing right now, well actually before now I am just adopting it late as I do with most things, until I decide if its a thing for me personally. As I have found out with my love for jewelry its never a trend its a more of a love for shiny things, similar to a ferret lol. So the midi-ring is one ring or it can be multiple in the case of the ones I have, that are worn in between your first two finger knuckles. The set of three that I have which I got from F21, one of my favorite places to grab accessories,  are gold, gunmetal, and silver spiked ones. I definitely stand behind this "trend" and I plan to get more if I find some that I love. I am also on the hunt to find all types of turquoise EVERYTHING!!

Check out the pictures of some that I find really cool as well as the link to the ones I snagged from F21!
