While I luv fashion I am often reminded that I don't know everything and will never know all there is to know about it because like with everything else fashion is everchanging. Take my most recent shoe purchase for instance. Many many years ago when my shoe budget was significantly less than it is now, I would visit my local 9.99 shoe store and they'd be filled with Wild Rose shoes. At the time it was what I had to work with but follow me as I introduce you to the fashion change game. A couple weeks ago I visited my favorite store Teeque inside of Pembroke Lakes Mall and I was pleasantly surprised when I ran into these beauties sitting inside the store window whispering sweet nothings to me. Heavily engaged in the color blocking trend these shoes were everything to me so I asked the associate to give me a pair in a 6.5 and shortly afterwards left the store.
A couple days later when I pulled the shoes out the box I was surprised to look and see the brand name was Wild Rose. To be honest I felt some kind of way seeing the name that to me had been synonymous with the 9.99 shoe store. I didn't know if I was in my feelings about the shoes because I bought them for $39 and felt ripped off or because they reminded me of a not so fashionable time in my life. After a couple days of thinking about when and where I would wear them I realized Wild Rose quite like myself was fashionably changing and who was I to look negatively at a shoe brand that was obviously trying to do the same things as me with my blog which is show that fashion is everchanging and style is determined not by price but in the likes, dislikes, and creativity of the individual. I say all this to say please don't let price be the determining factor of your individual style. In the end you may walk the path of the road less traveled but who chooses a life lead not in color but merely black and white?????

How To Prepare
For Summer 2012
Whilst we’re
starting to look forward to the delights of the summer sun, our figures are
just coming out of winter hibernation. It’s time to start shedding the layers
and start getting bikini-ready, but our summer resolutions can quickly go out
of the window during the season of al fresco drinking and delicious barbeques.
Luckily there are some easy ways to fit a new health regime into the exciting
build-up to the summer, helping to keep your bikini masterplan on track.
Exercise Smartly
Many of us fall
into the trap of believing that the quickest way to a Hollywood figure is to
hit the gyms for three hours every day of the week. Whilst this philosophy is
the quickest way to aching muscles and limbs, it’s actually one of the worst
weight-loss tactics for most people. Continual pain is not a motivator.
Forget about
the latest fitness fad and incorporate some easy exercises into your everyday
routine. As the sun is shining, try to minimise your reliance on your car or
public transport and walk as much as you can throughout the day. It’s much
easier to take a little more time walking around your local area than it is to
keep to an exhausting exercise regime at the gym. You’ll be amazed at home
quickly your legs will begin to tone up, so why not show off your pins in a pair
of the latest Ted Baker shoes?
Eat Healthily
When it comes to
maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it’s never advisable to put your body through
any extreme diet. Instead, try to create a meal based around your favourite
healthy foods, making it an interesting challenge each time. Ensure that you
eat at regular times and that you get as many of your five-a-day as possible. Pre-sliced
fruit and vegetables make a great snack and can be spiced up with a side salsa.
It’s also important to drink lots of water throughout the day to boost your
energy levels and concentration.
Work Together
Finally,
remember that you’re not alone in your preparations for the summer: most of
your friends and family will be in exactly the same boat. Make sure you enlist
their help and make a go of it together. Sharing the burden will make the
process far more enjoyable and will create a support network that will prove
vital when you have a bad day. Most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy yourself
in the summer sun!

Hot or Hoeish?
While I thrive on dresses that tend to be a bit on the risque side I do understand that there is a thin line between Hot and Hoeish! With that being said what side of the line does this sheer form fitting Maxi dress by ASOS Collection Featuring a scoop neckline with a bound edge, wide shoulder straps, a semi sheer stripe pattern with a stitched panel design and cut away back fall under? Hot or Hoeish?
Celebrity Style! Monica and Kelly Rowland!
Today in Celebrity Style we have 2 of my favorite entertainers Kelly Rowland and Monica.....Let's Chat!
I luv everything about Ms. Kelly Rowland formerly of Destiny's Child but is it so wrong that I feel like I am begging and pleading for more and just not getting it. I think Kelly has the ability to take the world by storm but there's just something about Kelly that tells me perhaps that not what she wants. I know that not everyone can go around changing their hair up like Rihanna but as a entertainer I think its your responsibility to switch it up sometimes and I've seen Kelly rocking this big curly fro for some months now and I'm over it! As far as her style is concerned I luv it and the fact that she maintains her figure and could most likely wear anything she wants is Everything, but again I want more!
Monica carries herself with a style and sophistication that is rare to entertainers. She makes her own decisions when it comes to both her hair and her style and I think it really works for her. Sometimes I'd like to see her a little more relaxed with her clothing but again the freakum dress is just not for everybody. I would be crazy not to mention that Monica has a shoe game that's out of this world!!! All in all I luv both Kelly and Monica's style, How about you?

Jessica Simpson Shoes, Print Dress and the Big Chop
This weekend was definitely a weekend of firsts for me so I decided once and for all after growing the perm out of my hair for nearly a year that I was finally ready for the big chop! I had no idea it would be such a eye opening experience. I mean I have never been my hair but having some on my head has always brought me joy. I've rocked it over the years from long to short but I really never thought I'd see the day where I was comfortable enough to rock a natural fro in front of millions but here I am in all my glory in my favorite Print Dress, Jessica Simpson shoes and the results of my Big Chop!!
Took a tumble a couple weeks ago in these shoes but I'd rather be with them than without them!

This Week in Celebrity Style!
We all know that in the world of fashion and fame you're only as good as your best dress so let's take a look at what our favs were wearing this week in Celebrity Style!
The fact that Madonna is still playing peek a boo with anything means everything to me! Man I would so luv a moment with that dress. Not so much luving Chanel Imans look but I do luv the fact that she makes the most of her petite frame. I was just watching Save the Last Dance last night and its so amazing how far actress Kerry Washing has came but I find this dress to be a little overpowering for her frame....yes? And like I've said so many times before, J.Lo can wear a paper bag and it would probably be the best looking paper bag we've seen, Body for Days!!! Luv it! What are your thoughts on This Week in Celebrity Style? Who Rocked and Who Socked?
