"Girl Gotta Have'Em Shoes"

I went out last week to do some shopping and of course I ran into the cutest shoes.... Well, I had to start packing for vacation so I needed to make sure that I have the RIGHT shoe to go with all of my clothes for vacation. Yes, I found some really good ones too!!! I told you in the title that you are going to have to have them. I enjoyed my shoe experience, the stores I went shoe shopping at: DILLARD'S, NORDSTROM, NEIMAN MARCUS and MACY'S!!! Check them all out and let me know what you think. Please leave comments or if you need any help with anything just let me know. Remember a shoe can really change your style, it can be an old dress that your going to wear. And if you pair it up with a new sexy, fun, classy shoe then it's like you purchased a whole new dress. With these shoes that I choose this week you can see that there are so many different textures with each shoe. That is the style right NOW!!!! So, you can put on some simple jeans and blouse and add one of these shoes and go from UMMM to WOW!!!

DREAMS DO COME TRUE

Everyone please check out the article on our first lady Mrs. Michelle Obama in February 14, 2011, US Weekly magazine. I love this article because again she is just a phenomenal woman. If you get to read it they ask her different questions but mostly about fashion. So, her answer that I love is their are so many stylist and designers out there trying to make it. But, everyone tends to go to the WELL-KNOWN ones and not giving anyone else a shot. She says that she switches up and goes with a Up and coming stylist or designer. I so loved this answer because a lot of people just tend to go with the WELL-KNOWN. But, those that are NEW to the business and are trying to come up and make a name for themselves will never be able to unless someone (that can be you) just gives them a chance. If you all remember when President Obama got in office the night of the Inaugural Ball. Her chosen DESIGNER was a HIT-Jason Wu!!! She really shocked everyone because they just assumed she was going to go with a big name designer. Give people chances you never know what may happen and yes it may not always work out but at least you know that you tried and you learned a lesson out of it.

Phenomenal Woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Maya Angelou

MANI AND PEDI

Okay, Ladies and Gentlemen it is the month of LOVE!!!! February!!!! So, my mani and pedi all month is going to be a shade of pink or red!!!! Make sure you don't wait until the last minute to get your loved one's their VALENTINE gift!!! And to all those men out there reading this,  a mani and pedi is the perfect gift to give your loved one!!! You can give a mani and pedi to your mom, girlfriend, wife, sister, cousin, best friend, co-worker, teacher, etc..... Everyone loves mani and pedi's the sad part is every woman does not take the time to get pampered. We are usually so wrapped up in our work, life, kids, husband, etc... that we just always put ourselves off to be the last to be taken care of. And with that it is a new YEAR.. Take time for some pampering ladies and men!!!! It's a NEW DAY and NEW YEAR and make yourself a PRIORITY or you will look up 10 years later and think, why didn't I take some time to myself. Now, here is my color for this week, let me know what you think....

My mani and pedi lady is so good!!! (Hearts)
