What's your fashion obession ?


My fashion obsession has definitely got to be SHOES & a good fitting-pair of jeans. I also have an obsession with purses, but with these two, you can NEVER go wrong!
Ladies asos sell some of the best jeans designer/Asos Labeled. I bought these from Asos's curve section marked down to $17.00. They are a mid-rinse dark denim skinny leg, with plenty of stretch. Sizes run from a us 18- 24. I can't wait to wear them, I have to get them altered in the waist. visit: http://www.asos.com/
Happy shopping :D

What's in your bag, Part trois.

My dear friend Alannah Scott also participated in my segment of "What's in your bag", I'm just a tad late, LOL...






Alannah & I are shoenista's and fashion addicts, LOL. We text each other every other day about the new things we've seen/bought, ridiculous, I know!
Visit her at http://www.planeejane.blogspot.com/ She introduces you to things you don't know you like yet!

A Love/Hate War.

Pursuing a career in fashion merchandising student is a wonderful feeling. Accomplishing goals is beyond wonderful. When I recieve my degree in Fashion Merchandising I have alot of plans to put into motion. I want to style which s my #1 goal and later open up a boutique which will market curvy women. I have styled alot of friends and I always forget to take before/after pictures for my portfolio which I am currently working on the moment. There's just one thing that gets to me. Friends ask for opinions knowing that they are just going to listen to their own mind, also when I try to create a look for someone I incorporate their style with what I think would flatter them the most and bring out features that were maybe once hidden. Please don't ask me to style you and waste my time when everything goes out one ear, into another. It saves me time and gives you more time to create/look for something you would be satisfied with. I enjoy inspiring girls/women because every girl should always define rare. rich. couture. I love styling people/friends who appreciate my thoughts and give me a chance to re-create looks for them. If you want tips on anything contact me via email, I would love to help cupcakesglitzglamour@ymail.com

Ladies First.

I am so glad they chose Queen to open up/host the 2010 Bet Awards. This is byfar the best Bet Awards show to date, I didn't miss a beat or a glimpse of fashion.
A little bit of Glitz and Glamour , Here are the fabulous Ladies on the red carpet...


Lauren London
"I love Lauren London's look, it's simple yet flashy and the shoes are hot shit"


Ciara
"I think Ciara look stunning but she could have worn better shoes with her dress, the Giuseppe Zanotti Lace Up Cuff boots didn't do anything for me at all."

Jada Pinkett-Smith
"Jada Pinkett looked fab and definitely in shape, but her hair should have been a soft look."

Cassie Ventura
"Cassie gave a interesting look, but I like it except for the midriff top."

Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj strutted in vintage. The singer wore an ecru tulle Rochas by Olivier Theyskens archival gown from the Spring 2004 collection.

Nia Long

"Nia Long The actress wore a Gucci Spring 2010 ikat dress, she looked stunning as usual." I loved the scene with her & Larenz Tate. He's so sexy to me...

Keri Hilson
"Omg, Keri did it for me tonight, absolutely stunning!" Leopard is my favorite print, so overall this look is glitz, glam and fab! I also love that she changed up her hair color/style, her makeup was simple, she definitely gets two thumbs up in my book.

Brandy Norwood
"Brandy looked stunning and her caged glittery boots were working the carpet"

Naturi Naughton
"Umm, I like the dress, because I would rock it, but her hairstyle messed up her whole attire" Where's your stylist Naturi? Let me style you.

Chilli
"Same Jumpsuit, different day, eh?"

The Dirty Money Crew
"Great look for Dawn & Kalenna, love the 'All Black Everything' and they always have on bomb shoes"

Vivica A. Fox
"Stunning, I love that dress, she's looking younger I must say!"

Eva Marcille
"Give me those shoes Eva" Just FAB.

Debra & The Mowry Twins (Tia, Tamera)

"Via social networks I saw people really bashing Debra Lee's hairtsyle/attire. I think her dress is nice honestly, but her hair could have been pulled back into a nice ponytail/bun to compliment her attire. The twins look gorgeous as usual."

What do you think about these Ladies looks? -Give your opinions,

As i've stated on twitter, it meant so much to Chris Brown because the song "Man in the mirror" was also in relation to him. I applaude & give him so much praise. I believe everything happens for a reason at the RIGHT time. Micheal approached Chris a long time ago/The Jackson 5 knew this is what Micheal Jackson would want. It's perfect timing for Chris. Bet's 10th Anniversary which was celebrated in such a big way, this is the best time for his career to move on and achieve more great things. God works in mysterious ways, last year wasn't his year/to perform, but this year is even better :D

"We miss you."

It's been 1 year today & it feels just like [yesterday]. Growing up Micheal Jackson was an Idol to me. He did alot for kids & his country, all around he was portrayed as a "GREAT PERSON" contrary to the rumors and false allegations. As a fan, I speak on behalf of all your fans, we love you & miss you.

Rihanna brings all the boys to the yard....


Drake on his feelings for Rihanna “I addressed it on my album. It’s not a broken heart, it’s just for me, I’m in such a confident position that I’m almost numb to feeling small. It’s been so long since a woman has made me feel small and that’s a real emotion. When you want to be a part of a woman’s life and you are nervous, all of these things that maybe I was when I was 15 or 16,, it’s just been a while since I felt like that. I really looked at it as paying homage to her for giving me that feeling. I just respect her for bringing that feeling back for me because it was real. It was a real emotion."

  • At least he's honest with his feelings while other men try to hide them. RiRi's a "bad mother, watch your mouth"

The Girls' Book Of Glamour (Guide To Being A Goddess)

I came across this book while shopping for urban fiction on http://www.amazon.com/ & I had to purchase it! I'm still waiting for it in the mail, but I think every girl should pick up a copy. I bought this book for about $6-under on amazon. What girl doesn't want more tips on being a Diva, Goddess, Princess or a Queen?

The product listings explain: Be confident, be gorgeous, be glamorous. The tips and tricks in this book will help girls reveal the goddess inside.The entries include: how to host a spa-style party; how to work out your face shape; how to design your signature perfume; how to stop biting your nails; how to pretend you've got freckles; how to jazz up a boring ponytail; how to get out of a limo; how to give yourself a mini facial; how to emphasise your eye colour; how to make your bedroom skin-friendly; how to get super-soft hands and feet while you sleep; and, how to make a ribbon belt.

Drake: Thank me Later.

For all the Drake fans that ramble non-stop about him, today is your day. Be supportive, you already have it downloaded. Don't want to be supportive, "Shut the bleep up" -Thank you ♥

Lipstick Hues.



Lately I've been into more makeup & I'm trying to venture into trying all types of different makeup, especially lipstick. I have the basic collection which include, nude, barbie pink, hotpink, red and brown hues. What I want to try is a red-orangey color and I'm trying to find the best brands or the perfect hue to match my skin complexion. I've been searching & came across two brands that were inexpensive and looked the part. I found a red-orangey lipstick by Elizabeth Arden for 10 bucks! AND of course you can't go wrong with M.A.C. I found 3 different ones that I will go and test in the store [Charismistic, Mac Meltdown and Mac Morange] I can't wait, I need something new! I will also be posting a tutuorial on make-up/colors that go with an orange lip. Stay Tuned...
 

10 top Fragrances for Men this Summer '10.

I will be posting more on Men's fashion and other things, I felt my blog needed to be more diverse, not just catering to women's fashion, or just celebrities. I love the fragrance on a man, it truly makes a statement. The presence & aurora, OMG I could go on...These are the top 10 on my list/others:

Shoe Frenzy: Trina

Loved the Vh1 Hip Hop Honors this year! Waaaay better than last years. This time I was into the fashion aspect of it of course and I couldn't help but notice Trina's Patent Leather Grey Platform Pumps. I have a similar pair but mine are leather and have a T-Strap on them. I can't wait to wear them. Oh buy the way, I got them from http://www.makemechic.com/ for 22 BUCKS! I also have the black leather ones with out the T-Strap and those were also 22.00. I previously did a post on those, I call them "My stripper Heels" ;)


Maxwell , Jill Scott and Guy Tory.

 My birthday was this past Tuesday & my Mother took me to see Maxwell, Jill Scott and comedian Guy Tory live in concert. I must say it was very very nice and what I will say is that "I have more respect for Maxwell as an artist". He's really sexy and I love his music! Here are some pictures, hope you enjoy,

Chris Brown. New gf or not?

2 days ago, Chris Brown posted a picture of him and a mystery girl with the caption title as "ummmmmm". Of course I wanted to know who she was, so I began searching up & down over the internet, but I didn't have to search far because Necole Bitchie was 2 steps ahead of me. Turns out that the Girl is from South Carolina and her name is Jasmine. She is a model and is signed to Boss Agencies. Everybody kept going on about how she resembled "Rihanna", but to me she looks more like a mixture of a black Angelina Jolie/Rihanna. She is beautiful. He later posted another picture caption titled today "Chillin".

D.I.Y. Studded boots.

I was supposed to do this diy a long time ago, but I'm a BIG "Procrastinator". I didn't have a clue whatsoever on how to spike/stud anything, even though I ahve watched tutorial after tutorial. I asked my friend Alannah make sure you visit her blog at http://www.planeejane.com/ to do tem for me and she said yes! I never managed to get the boots to her in time before my birthday so I asked her for instructions hon how to do them for myself. Omg, it turned out just how I wanted them and it only took me 30 minutes. It was so easy, here are some pictures.
I ordered my spikes from www.studsandspikes.com the costs $10 for 20 spikes! All you need is your shoes/material/clothing -anything you want to use, spikes or studs and a sharp blade.

The other side of the boot!
