Motivation Mondays
"I’d rather be around a passionate nerd than a non-passionate cool person. Because if you lack passion, your soul is diminishing by the second. You have to be passionate about something. Call it obsessed or whatever you want, but be obsessed about something. Obsessed people care. I’m passionate about so many things, it becomes an issue at certain points, but at least you have the ability to feel that much about something"
Being fearless means being free. Being fun. And being fresh with your personal style.
These styles below are a representation of how I'd like to experiment with
my style.
How fearless are you?
 |
| From the fitted to the leopard print harem pants. This look is fun and fierce. Swiped on a red lip and done. Incorporating animals prints will easily spice up a simple look. Uptown baby! |
 |
| Hip Hop!!! Funking up a simple look with an iconic musicians face on your body is never a bad idea. Get real cute and rock a piece with a YOUR face. Um hmm |
 |
| She looks like a glorious bird of prey in this feathered number. This look is fun. Credited: Burberry - Cara Delevingne - 121 Regent Street |
 |
| Sheer fabric and fringe!! Chile, YES!!! Simple and sexy. |
 |
| Denim on denim is not the most daring look but I had to pop it in here bcuz it's dope and a style I rock frequently. Shirt and jeans are pretty baggy but not overly so and the denim pattern ranges from light to dark. I will try to thrift this look. |
 |
| Mixed prints are always bomb. I don't like to get too crazy with it. These looks above rep how I'd rock this style. That bag is everything. Can we say, Statement Piece... |
 |
| I'm just gaga over these sleeves on this trench. Animal print aint for everybody but I think it may be for me. |
This is fearless because she is fearless. How sexy it this!?!? That detail on the skirt...and those pumps...
Pop-ING!!! BTW ladies, these kind of pumps always make your feet look smaller and your legs
Pop-ING!!! BTW ladies, these kind of pumps always make your feet look smaller and your legs

| Thee skirt and thee boots. Thee blouse and thee blazer with the fur scarf....Going forth!!! Yes she is. I need a pair of these boots quickly. How dope is the skirt? Definitely my finspiration. |
So those are a few of my Fashion Inspirations or Finspirations and I hope to premier a few looks this fall and winter. Please share your thoughts on what you think about these looks and share your inspiration too.

Insecurities hinder growth and dim your light.
Shine bright.

It's My Birthday Month!!!!
One of the most fun times of year! At Halloween the lashes, brushes, plaster, glue, etc., all come out to show off.
My fav looks are those that are crazy creative, yet still pretty and feminine. Use your imagination and
anything is possible. Even if you need help completing your vision.
Check out these awesome creations I found online.
See any you would like to try for yourself?
The most beautiful cat lady I've ever seen. Check out the deets around her mouth and right under her eye. Look at the nose...DOPE!
Add this exaggerated, caricature look to the list of things I'd like to recreate.
I love the contouring and highlighting in this look. This is amazing beyond words. So detailed. Love!
This look was hot this year. Real life comic book character. Pop a wig on and you're ready. This look seems time consuming with all of the dots n such but the after effects are glorious.
I would extend the eyebrows and make the lips fuller by
pulling the corners of the mouth
out more.
WINNER!! How cool is this BeetleJuice recreation? This family nailed it.
Now this look is one I don't have the patience to do. Some kind of bat monster with large teeth and mouth....It's cool looking nonetheless.
Shouts Out to the guys who put these looks together. Look what imagination, creativity and a lil of your time can produce! This is genius. OMG.
The following are personal pics from the last two Halloween's sister and I participated in.
Sister bought a glow in the dark skeleton costume
I made a grim reaper cap from her old H.S graduation gown
Makeup Artist Krystle Michele (her, sister, above) slayed & completed this look with the makeup.
Poison Ivy
Purchased leaves/foliage from the dollar store and Michaels
Made the cap from my old graduation gown
Purchased a orange, fiery red wig to complete the look
I plan on doing this one again & amping up the makeup.
This was my first run at creating my own look. Not bad!?
Lioness
Bodysuit from a dance store, painted to add some dimension
Lion accessories from a costume store. Purchased a larger tail, painted it and sewed it onto the bodysuit
Make up by Krystle Michele

These were by far, the funnest costumes we've ever done!
Lady Zebra
Full body suite from some online website (zips up over the entire body)
Zebra accessories from a costume store. Larger white tail was purchased, painted and sewn to the bodysuit
Face painted by Moi.
So hey, if you're too old to trick or treat, throw/go to an event and get dressed up. It's way more fun!
No one ever said it would be easy
Chic
 |
| Similar to the Fashonista, chic styles are more polished and classy with a splash of funk. |
Classic
 |
| Classic style is not always a dressed up look. Designers like Chanel, M.Kors, & Carolina Carrera have clothing lines that showcase classic pieces that are look tailored and clean and never go out of style. |
Fashonista
 |
| The Fashionista is not afraid to test boundaries and is always up on the latest trends. Whenever you see this style, the person wearing it is definitely carrying a hefty bit of confidence along with. |
Glamazon
 |
| The best part the being a lady is dressing up in this style right here. The Glamour in being a woman just makes me cheese. Anything involving fur (real or fake), silk/chiffon/or any poly-blend that drapes with glory, diamonds, jewels, etc., are all considered Glam. I LIVE for this style! |
Quirky
 |
| The Quirky style is just fun!!! This style has no rhyme or reason, and mixing textures, patterns and styles is A-OK. Free-spirits, shine on! |
Bohemian
 |
| The most free spirited style of them all. The Boheme/Bohemian style is totally carefree, yet sweet and delicate. Loose-fitted everything describes this style. Whether simple and plain or colorful and detailed, this style is all about comfort and can be very etheral. |
Sporty
 |
| Sporty shorties rock this style mixing dressy pieces with casual ones as seen here in this pic. Put on a pair of Chucks (Converse) with a pair of slacks (or a knee length skirt), throw on a blouse, blazer and scarf and you're good to go. This style works for every lady. |
A new love of mine, Henri Bendel New York has the chicest jewelry, accessories and bags. I've never shopped here before but I"m sure I will in the future. Check out a few of my absolute favorites.
