Runway MY Way
All White....NOT!
So anyone that knows me, knows I'm random and sometimes people do not get me which is fine because there is always a method to my madness. With that being said I have to share my plight with the color WHITE.
Now do not get me wrong I have basic white stuff like tanks, tees....shoot I even have a white sandal or two, but there is just something about the color white that I do not mesh well with. 1) It gets dirty faster than you can blink. 2) although its a neutral color that is made to go with everything it does not have personality to me. White is just dry. 3) last, but certainly not least white is a color that requires way too much attention. Depending on what type of piece it is more than likely you'll have to do layering of some sort regardless if its a slip or tank and paying more attention to your undergarments is a necessity when white is involved. RME. Too much work. Aside from that I've just never liked white nor really owned it. Whenever white is an option I always go for the runner up. Simple as that.
It's funny because the other day while I was getting ready for work I decided to wear a white button up (I literally only own one). Sadly, some of my concealer accidentally fell on it and there went that shirt. At the time, I hadn't worn it in eons and I guess it will be another few eons before I decide to wear it again. I know what your thinking, "Why would you put makeup on with a white shirt?" Well believe it or not I'm pretty careful when applying my makeup and hardly ever get any on my clothes. I was not so lucky this time and I can't help but think it has something to do with me wearing this damn white. It was not meant to be.
Ne wayz, I am attending an all white party tonight and I had THE ONLY issue trying to find a fit. I'm a defiant individual so I do not follow many rules especially when it comes to fashion. I can count on how many fingers I've actually worn all white to an all white party. Zero. Last weekend I went to an all white party and wore grey, black, royal blue with hints of white. Lol.
I just really do not do all white; however, for this party tonight I had a set vision to wear a white skirt. Not because I wanted to follow the rules just because I had an idea in my head of the fit I wanted and it included a white skirt. Shrugs.
The sucky thing about my creative mind is that I can easily come up with a fit, palette, etc for myself and anyone else within a matter of minutes, but usually when it comes to looks for me I never have all the pieces. Therefore, finding the right pieces becomes a very trying process. I get stuck altering my ideas and what not which blows. Basically my mind is telling me to become a designer because I'm always creating things that are not there. lol.
That's neither here nor there, my point is I have an all white party to go to and finding a fit was extremely difficult. I hate being like everyone else. I take individuality pretty seriously. An all white party theme definitely limits clothing options by half. There are not many places to get original white pieces. With that being said you can guarantee everyone is pretty much going to hit up the same spots. No bueno. That's what made this process very hard. Between the limitations, my individuality, and me being slightly bourgeoisie. I couldn't just get any old thing to wear.
I finally found a skirt, but its FAR from the vision in my head, but desperate times definitely called desperate measures so I had no choice. Obviously you know I will not be wearing all white tonight I will be a representation of 4th of July - red, white and blue (navy instead of royal). I will post pics later on, but the more I sit here and think about the outfit that I am not in love with, but the outfit I will grow to like enough to wear, I cant help but think how much I truly just dislike white.
Oh well,
Happy 4th of July Luvs I hope everyone has a great day!

Week Update & Beauty Fierce Find
Happy Tuesday Luvs,
OMG last week was busy busy busy as usual hehe. I was dealing with a little bit of this and a little bit of that so let's see what I can fill you guys in on?
Well first and foremost on Saturday December 5th was my birthday which I consider a National Holiday in my world :-). The weather on Saturday was awful. I hate bad weather: rain and snow. Ugh. It messes up your hair and rocking 4 1/2 stilettos boots in bad weather can be challenging. Thank God I know how to rock em right ;-).
I did a little dinner with some homegirls and ventured out to a club for the remainder of the night. It was very chill and I appreciated the company. This coming Saturday one of my best boos and I will be doing a little party at a venue in the city so that everyone can come. I am still trying to figure out what my 'fit' will be, but I am leaning towards a 60-70's sexy glam look. Simple, Sexy with a touch of Sass. I will definitely take pictures for your viewing pleasure.
A few weeks back I styled a client of mine with a dress and shoes for a black and white event she was attending. Love the dress and shoes. Everything came out very nice.
December has been filled with clients for me which is a very good look. Parties/Galas/Banquets love them all. With birthdays and New Years around the corner holiday dressing is at its max which is why I did a retail therapy for StyleCaster on Holiday dressing. I provided great tips to make the month of December a breeze so check it out.
Now onto....

Normally, I stick to apparel for fierce finds, but once in a while I have to throw a beauty deal into the mix. For starters, I am a makeup princess. Love makeup. A lot of people have many misconceptions about makeup and a lot of people use makeup incorrectly. Personally, makeup to me is another way to enhance your beauty. Everyone is beautiful in their own right, but makeup enhances those features and depending on how you do it and the colors you use for the day it brings out another beauty in you. With that being said I had to share with you all my favorite M.A.C products. I literally own a million products from them, but the penultimate eye liner and blot powder pressed are life savers. I have a very distinct eye shape and when I use this particular eye liner it brings it out clearer. Not only that, but it is the easiest eye liner to use. I feel like I am the ultimate pro because its addicting. The way it let's you shape how your going to use it is like makeup crack lol. Love it.
Now for the blot powder I tend to have oily skin sometimes especially when it comes to makeup and adding a coat of blot powder after I am done my face keeps me non-oily and perfectly clear and fabulous all day. It is seriously the BEST invention ever. Do not get me wrong other retailers have great blow powder and eye liners as well. My point is if you have yet to invest in these two products then you definitely need to do so. They are life changing in my opinion. I just happen to be pretty loyal to M.A.C.
Yanni.
