I finally have the chance to upload some pics from a few weeks ago. The MadeMe X Vans collab event was so much fun. A maze, photo booth, free drinks , performances and a whole lot of candy. I was way too happy to eat a Sugar Daddy Lollipop, haven't had one in a minute ! Here are some pics from the event.

Drone Bracelet now available in BLACK **ON SALE**

The Drone Bracelet (a wrap around bracelet) has become one of my top selling pieces. It may be because it makes such a statement when worn alone or layered. I wear three of them all the time , and there are days when I loose count of how many people ask me, "Where did you get that?" I am currently into black jewelry and decided to start off the introduction with the Drone bracelet that calls for a CELEBRATION! You can get yours now at 25% off until next Friday (29th).  It is available in four colors ; Matte gold, gold,  silver and black. Get yours before I sell out! 

Obsession: Furniture

I have been obsessed with trying to figure out who designed my childhood furniture. After seeing this Album Cover on my friends blog during my search I ran into these beautiful pieces. For those who don’t know, Interior design is another one of my obsessions. I was going to minor in Interior design in college but that was too much to handle, and besides I already had a natural eye for it. I took one basic class and that was all I needed. There is something about surround your home with eye catching pieces that makes it even more personal. 


Wonder Woman 2010



Rumor has it that a Wonder Woman TV show is in the works with a very modern twist which includes dope accessories and new outfits . It’s about time ! 

Nina Sky : You Aint Got It


Been meaning to post this awesome video up from the girls of Nina Sky.  1st of all let me say how this is my type of song.  It screams Girl Power which I am all about! It's a reminder that you can't pay attention to just anyone . You have to be picky as hell before you get caught up with the wrong person. The vibe of this video goes hand in hand with the vibe of the song . It was produced by DJ YONNY. Speaking about DJ YONNY, check out his remix to "Only Girl".

 

Music Thursdays: Jay-Z

It's Friday but bare with me :o) . Here are 4 Jay-z videos to enjoy. So hard to pick , I love them all !

Black Dating in Hip Hop Society

My boy just BBM'd me this video , it was funny as hell but it really made me think about dating in general. The video displays a "good man" seeking to attain the "gold digging woman". He mentions how she does not know what a good man looks like .  She want's a "baller" no matter how negative the life he leads. Fine, there are women out there like her,  but those are the women that some men go after. Those are the women in the music videos.  You don't see them going after the "Good Woman". They prefer those women that do go after the "ballers", athletes and music artists. When they are not ballers, athletes and music artists themselves and know that there is no chance in hell with that woman,   they decide they want to work their way up-to eventually become a "baller" and attract those kinds of women, even if it means "balling" with no money in the bank. They don't do it for themselves,  they do it to impress the women who didn't want them in the first place. Look at Mark Zuckerberg and where that led him.   Again , I am not speaking about all men or women.

The Social Network

I finally went to see The Social Network , and I went alone. Yes, went to the movies alone for the first time. I was very impressed with myself. The whole time I have been waiting for my current "ex-movie buddy" to come see it with me but kept getting flaked on. I had to remind myself that I came into this world alone , and that if I really want to do something , I shouldn't have to wait for anyone. I do not always wait for someone , but there are times when I just do not want to do something alone, like for example go to a nice dinner. I spend a lot of time by myself these days, I don't understand why it never occurred to me to just go. It took me to get really pissed off to act on it.

Willow Smith - Whip My Hair



I am loving the small touch of bedazzling on her lip. Dont judge me if you see me with some left over swarovski's on mine ;o) .

Music Thursdays: MYA


I know it's Monday , but I was not able to blog on Thursday, therefore you will get two "Thursdays" this week :o) . I picked these songs by MYA because it's how I have been feeling and if you know me well, I express myself through music. Of course not my own music, but music by others that I can relate to. MYA could not be any more on point with these songs and her choreography makes me want to get up and impersonate her moves. I am pretty sure that the majority of you ladies agree with me. Enjoy more videos after the jump.

The year was 1939 ...




It's on my Macbook, and all over the stores. I could not help but wonder what the story was behind it. 
"Keep Calm and Carry On was a poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, to raise the morale of the British public in the case of invasion. It was little known and never used. The poster was rediscovered in 2000 and has been re-issued by a number of private sector companies, and used as the decorative theme for a range of other products." READ MORE HERE

How J.K Rowling Organized Her Writing

For those of you interested in knowing   how J.K. Rowling was able to write the collection of Harry Potter books, check out this article on Unclutterer .


To Be or Not To Be ...

No matter how seductive a person, place or opportunity seems - do not move forward unless your intuition says "yes".

We wonder sometimes why things don't work out, yet if we look back on situations that ended badly we see that we knew better from the first moment we started down this path.

No matter how beautiful a person is. No matter how much money may be offered to you. No matter what, if you do not listen to you intuition and choose to follow a path of external power your life will not manifest to it's highest potential.

Before you make a decision about dating someone, moving forward with a business deal or making any changes in your life get still and ask your intuition if it feels right. If the answer is yes your whole body will light up and you will feel the "yes" inside you. If the answer is "no" you will feel disempowered with the thought of making the decision.

Get quiet and listen and life will eventually begin to flow.

There is something about a nutcracker doll that attracts me to it. I spotted a whole bunch of them at Target last Friday. I think it's the fact that they each have their own style. I would definately love to have a collection of nutcrackers one day.

Keep a positive outlook even when you fail or fall on your face. It's those that try that change the world.

These Sigerson Morrison's have been my favorite flats since 2005. Yeah a pretty damn long time. They are just starting to be uncomfortable. I refuse to throw them away though, they'll be sitting in my closet until I can really depart from them. I promise I am not a hoarder , I just hate getting rid of my good pieces !
