“I simply remember my favorite things . . .”

Reds

I’ve never really done anything big for my birthday so this year I figured there’s no time like the present!! Along with a photo shoot (pics can be viewed at Visionary Models, don’t forget to like the page while you’re there!) and shindig, I also decided to make my article about my favorite cosmetics and accessories! Maybelline rarely lets me down with its mascara and this formula followed suit! One by One is my favorite mascara to date because the brush really does separate and define each lash! I actually stumbled upon this product by accident. My cousin bought this L’Oreal True Match poudre in the wrong shade and passed it on to me. I haven’t gone without it since! Now this eye shadow isn’t new but I HAVE to have…

Vintage, Menswear, Blocking . . . Oh my!!

Reds

Looking for a way to update your wardrobe without having to start from scratch? Use what you already have and dive into "thrifting". There are so many lost fashion treasures at thrift stores and consignment shops and you don't know what you'll find until you look! They have great prices on designer items and when you buy vintage you're almost guaranteed to not see it anywhere else! (my favorite part!)& dont limit yourself to the women's section! With the right accessories men's fashion can easily be adapted!!Another wardrobe update is color blocking. This trend has been revived from 70's and 80's fashion and is popping up on trendsetters everywhere. Now while many can pull this look off flawlessly, it can be tricky to master.

Life as the RB: Wisdom, Courage and the Drive to Move forward (part III)

Plums

An important thing to do in this stage is to learn you. A broken heart doesn’t heal itself. It takes the effort of that individual to make them whole again. This is the opportunity to really enjoy you. Find out the things you like and don’t like. Living life without limitations places you in a predicament where you get to know yourself more. Take risks. Do things you haven’t done. You have all the time in the world to figure out what it is you are all about. Everybody has something they like doing. Take advantage and fully indulge in it. Being able to live a fulfilled single lifestyle properly prepares you for the time you will need to give to the right one.Another good thing about this stage is…

Spice up the dull days of Winter!!

Reds

The temp is steadily dropping, the wind is whipping outside and layers are no longer just for looks. That can only mean one thing: WINTER! Now personally I’m not a fan of the winter months (I’m a summer baby!), but I love fashion too much to not be able to appreciate a nice pea coat or a pair of hot suede boots or any other cold weather attire. But just because its dull outside doesn’t mean your wardrobe has to be! I don’t know who thought it was a rule to wear bright colors in the warm moths and restrict yourself to winter white, grey, black and brown for cold months, but we all know some rules were meant to be broken J Now with every broken rule there are…

“So its boo season . . .”

Corals

How many of us have heard this infamous phrase? Well if you haven’t, be prepared because you will! It’s starting to get cold outside and the largest gift giving holiday is fast approaching so people feel the need to be paired up and I can’t say I blame them! On a personal note, I recently broke it off with the man I was in love with for the past year and a half and when I’m crawling in to bed alone at night I would rather have someone there waiting for me. The want of companionship is nothing to be ashamed of, in fact it’s human nature. No matter what anyone says, NOBODY enjoys being alone 100% of the time. The main concern I have is that I don’t want…
