Do you still have Love for the Lita?



If you're an avid fashion blog reader you have seen this shoe EVERYWHERE. Jeffrey Campbell first released this shoe in Fall 2010 and it's been taking the blogger world by storm since then. A lot of people have been complaining that this shoe is overkill. You really can't get away from it. Others still want Lita in every color, fabric, print, and glitter. JC has no sign of stopping. They are featured in his Resort 2012 lookbook in even more colors and patterns.



I personally think it's become somewhat of a staple in a lot of girls' wardrobes now. It's not as classic as a nude or black pump however if people keep buying the Lita, Jeffrey Campbell is obviously going to keep making it. They are stylish, fun, and extremely comfortable for a high heel. Why not wear something you like?

Creamy Crack VS. Kinky Naps



One of the biggest debates to date in the black community. The battle between relaxed and natural hair has only escalated due to the rise of females doing the big chop. I do feel like this is a huge trend to be proud of. I think all of the natural hair blogs have definitely influenced many women because they are more educated on how to maintain their hair. However, I do not like the natural hair "snobs" who think they're better or more Afrocentric because they choose not to relax their hair. Right now I'm in between stages and deciding which way to go is harder than I thought. I haven't relaxed my hair since January. Mostly because I colored it in April and I don't want it to break off. Black girls, what do you chose and why? Do you think relaxed hair is more "acceptable" society?

Sparks that inspire my style fire.


Somebody asked me on my tumblr who inspires my style. I never really thought about it until then because I feel like I get my inspiration from all over. I was raised in the suburbs, go to school in the city, and work at an upscale store at the Westchester Mall. So I guess my style is very..all over the place. I don't label myself as anything. One day I'll be wearing a leather bomber, combat boots, and a beanie, and the next day I'm in Tory Burch flats, chinos, and a blazer. Depends on my mood. Depends on where I'm going. However I did think for a while of some celebrities style I really do like and get ideas from. These are not in any particular order. I love all these women!


Cassie

Umm..what does she do exactly? Don't ask me. All I know is she is spending Diddy's money and is always the baddest bitch in the room. I always liked some of Cassie's music and she had great style since she came out. When she shaved the side of her head I admit I honestly did not like it at first. Everyone was giving her credit for something I've seen done by other women who did it first and better. From Kesh, to Jack Davey to Alice Dellal. However, Cassie has made this haircut work for her and She looks great now! I love how she mixes boyish shirts or jeans with heels or something feminine for a little girly touch.



Nicole Richie

She is like my QUEEN. my favorite celebrity EVER besides Beyonce. She is hilarious, sweet, and has matured over time. She totally transformed when she lost weight and became a style icon. Nicole is definitely the bohemian queen. Making the balenciaga giant city and maxi dress her signature look. Her style is always so effortless yet perfect in my opinion.



Solange

Solange "Don't call me Beyonce's sister because I am my own person" Knowles has made a name for herself in the music and fashion industry whether you like her or not. If you know me or follow my blog you know I adore Bey but her baby sister clearly has better every day style. She is a risk taker and doesn't care if you like it or not. She loves mixing patterns, tribal prints, and metallics. She is always changing her look and I definitely admire her for that.




Kim Kardashian

Kimmy is a one trick pony to be quite honest but she always looks amazing. Don't hate. Key pieces in her wardrobe: leggings, t-shirt, and blazer. Her hair always looks great and has amazing shoes. Every once in a while she does something different but Kim places it safe yet it always works for her. I'm definitely inspired by a lot of her looks because I love wearing blazers to work.



Rihanna

Last but certainly not least, Riri. I think she is overstyled sometimes but to each his own..there's no denying the impact she has on a lot of women. I do love how she makes quirky things work for her like bright red hair, socks and pointy toed shoes, claw like nails, etc. She looks beautiful most of the time.
