WANNA BE ON TOP?!

THIS IS ME: CUTIE PIE HUH?! LOL



Hello Divas and Divos,

I was just sitting here sipping on my Welch's Grape, when I got the bright idea to do a weekly Cover Girl/Boy thingy lol. Idk, I think it'll be a cute way to shed light on the fashionable and it'll save me a heck of alot of time trying to find a new Header for my blog. I am easily bored and love to switch things up, you know...keep it fresh, so if you're interested...send me your most stylish pic or send a pic of someone you know if you don't want to participate. Everyone will get a turn, based on how hot their pic is...so no frets!

New Joint: "I'm Grown" Tiffany Evans feat. Bow Wow!




::Don't be discouraged...this is a hot joint:: I've been hearing alot about it but today is the 1st time that I've actually listened to it. I won't front, I thought Bow was gonna cause this to flop. Him and Omarion sort of blew it with that album they recently dropped, but that's neither here nor there. The song is cute!

Reed'n Is Fundamental!





Raquel Reed is a friend of mine on myspace and probably even one of yours. I remember seeing her page one day and saying to myself "wow..She takes the hottest pics!" I love her style and of course her signature blue hair.

Raquel is a model, singer, dancer, AND designer...or we can simply say...Art at it's best. Raquel has been modeling since she was a youngster. At the age of 7 she modeled for Guess Kids, then at around 13 she began doing it "Her Way". She does runway, printwork and is currently a makeup artist at MAC. On her Myspace page she says "I grew up pretty much alone,and was out on my own at a very young age. Kinda wise beyond my years,19 going on 28."


I love success stories.

Moral of the day: There is no courtesy desk for us to go to get a refund on an unused life. Life is hard, true, but we have to learn how to be the victor and not the victim!(PREACH!)

New Joint:: "You're Welcome" Jay-z feat. Mary J. Blige and Swizz Beatz



Let me know what you think...

P.S. Don't forget to cop your tickets for the Heart of The City tour(HOV & MARY)....COMIN TO A CITY NEAR U! Anybody who's Somebody will be there!

Black is Beautiful!

BEFORE:


AFTER:


I must say...I loooove Keyshia Cole's new do. I was digging the style of the cut when she first got it, but the blonde was soo over. I just couldn't get into it. The black however, is mean! It's just something about jet black hair...I tried to dye my hair another color not too long ago..and it didn't last a week. I went back to black in an instant.

Which do you think is hotter?

awwww!




Ive been hearing alot about these two but these 2 pics..pretty much confirms it all. This is too cute. Chris never really struck me as someone Rih would date, hes a cutie, yea, but he seems so young...idk. I'm happy for them though if they are in fact a couple...she's a very good look for him. I just hope he doesn't turn into a Bow Wow...u know, how he was clearly sweating Ciara then all of a sudden he's too sexy for his shirt...throwing shade. lol. I'm not with it. I don't think Chris is crazy though, he doesn't seem as arrogant as Bow but guys tend to bug out.

All I Need in this Life of Sin...is Me and My Girlfriends!



So, I was sitting here thinking a bit and came to the conclusion that I am truly blessed to have the friends that I have. At times I can be the most difficult person to understand but never do they ever give up on me. I LOVE U GIRLS!....no names needed...they know who they are!

btw...Im def. the one with the cardigan...kerrys in the yellow with one shoe off...punkin is the girl on my right...mata is next to kerry and shawanna is next to mata at the end. haha!

InStyle's look of the week is the beautiful Kerry Washington in a bright floral Oscar de la Renta gown and Movado jewelry. She was in attendance at the 23rd Annual Women’s Project Women of Achievement gala, where she was being honored for her success as an actress.

I think the look is so Boss! Florals are big this season and she worked it well. (Minimal Jewelry Ladies!!!)

Spring Trend Highlight!



So, as you all may know, Spring is promptly approaching and we're reeling in a lot of different looks. I've been seeing alot of Ombre dyed pieces, several in the Matthew Williamson Spring/Summer 08 collection and I've also spotted several cloth Marc by Marc Jacobs totes with the Ombre finish. I love Ombre (which is best defined as, colors that gradually intensify from dark to light). I haven't yet mastered the technique, however, I'm quite familiar with it's cousin...Tie dye. I've always been one to experiment, and this past summer I've revamped many of my old T-shirts by tie dying them, just to give them a different look.

Do keep in mind: With tie dyed or ombre dyed pieces, accessories should be minimal.
