Cuffing Season

Plums

I guess Imma need some batteries for winter! Get your minds out of the gutter! Thanks to Future & that crisp chill outside “I'm looking for 'em with a flashlight” is the lips of pretty much every single person anywhere! Yep, it's cuffing season folks & being in the single boat myself I gotta say it's starting to get to me!! & I blame the media! Normally my year starts off with me single, working on me & making myself happy. By spring I'm still making me happy but I'm focused on staying single so I can freely mingle during the summer. Fall comes around & I'm still happy but all of a sudden the “boo applications” & “booty call guidelines” along with the National Boyfriend Day & all the…

Get Over It. It’s Not That Deep

Pinks

by: Verity Reign Hey babes! Here's one of my latest posts to HelloBeautiful.com--the African American woman’s online lifestyle guide encouraging healthy and fabulous lifestyle choices! This one is about getting over petty matters. One of my biggest pet peeves is when my peers, well into their 20s and 30s, hold grudges over matters that happened back in high school and college! GET OVER IT! I even share my experience forgiving a former girlfriend who tried to make a pass (lots of passes, actually) at a former boyfriend. Be sure to leave your thoughts and follow me on Twitter: @VerityReign! Kay, thanks for reading & xoxo! _________________________________________________________________________________ I try to practice forgiveness as much as possible. Not only does it align with my spiritual and moral convictions, but things just aren’t that deep! Through the…

Loafer Love!!!

Reds

Loafers. Smoking slippers. Dandy slippers. Flats. Whatever you call em, I love em!! lol! I'm not that into sneakers -I'll look at em but I'm not paying $150+ for shoes that I know wont be worn for their purpose i.e. Jordans that never see a basketball court! Nope, not I! Although I am the chick that will spend the same $150 on a pair of heels that I only wear once a year. Call it a contradiction, I don't care, I'm a heel girl! lol! The only problem with that is I'm not Coco, I can't wear heels all day, everyday, 365. My back would curse me out & I'm occasionally clumsy so I'd probably end up tripping over cords at the news station! On my heels-off days I like…

Staying Cute & Warm: Layering!!

Reds

Fall weather is a bit like a roller coaster relationship—one day it's sunny and bright, the next it's bleak and chilly. My solution to the seasonal wardrobe limbo is simple: layering. Besides being utterly practical, layered outfits are also downright fun to create. Figuring out the right combination of proportion, color, and texture is the sort of fashion Rubik's Cube that delights my sartorial soul. With this wardrobe puzzle in mind, I turned to the F/W 12 runways for some ideas and inspiration. From the funky graphic sweatshirts worn over turtlenecks at Balenciaga to the preppy stripes under bright shells at J. Crew, the abundance of varied looks convinced me of one thing: there's a layered look for every style type out there. While I won't catalog all of them for you today, I am happy…
