don't forget to breathe + fotd

This has been the toughest summer to date with me working like a maniac, family issues, personal issues..pretty much any issue a person can be faced with, I've dealt with and many times, it has felt like I was climbing a steep heel in the highest heels ever endlessly. This blog became more of an obligation and less like a source of inspiration and fun. For a moment, I didn't even want to wear makeup anymore. I know...CRAAAAAZY TALK!



I'm trying to shift my outlook. Shift my focus. Relax. Breathe. Not saying I'm back 100% but...eh...

Thank you to those who still check this blog every day. You give me hope and inspiration.

On to more pressing business. My Face of the Day or FOTD.

I went out for a Karaoke with BFF which turned into bar-hopping around Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

Eyes
MAC Era on the lid (or any nude eyeshadow color)
Black eyeshadow on the outer corner and into the crease. (You can use a liner if its easier but just put black shadow on top)
Blue liner on the water line (only because I couldn't find my black liner) smudged with black shadow because I didn't want to look too perfect

Skin
MAC Liquid Concealer under the eyes.

Cheeks
Covergirl Cheekers Blush in Soft Sable

Lips
L'Oreal Color Juice in Grape Soda

The look of the night was kind of boheme...flowy top that matched my bra. harem pants. my Jesus sandals. tan, white and gray clutch.

BFF sporting her MJ-inspired fedora


We went to the Biergarten on Fulton St and I had German MezzoMix which is a fruity cola...Fanta and Cola mix. It was delish and light.

BFF had sparkling apple juice. Not half bad. We also had chicken sausages which umm..didn't make it to the camera.

This is David. David is cool as hell. He owns the Brooklyn Cigar Lounge on Lafayette, across the street from Habana Outpost. Cool music, great vibes, beautiful people and lots of cigars (if you're into that sort of thing)
Ended up at EN on Cumberland and Lafayette. It is so beautiful inside. The bartender Mike who is Austrian-Egyptian flirted and served me a Fidel Castro which is a Meyers rum, ginger ale and lime. My new drink. If you're hungry on The Nigerian is hosting a dinner there. $30 pre-fixe menu. Email me if you're interested in going.

Monday Morning Tidbits: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

Yes, another week is upon us and really...quite honestly...it all feels the same to me. Lately, I've been grinding hard. I've been slapping makeup on people's faces, filming a movie as an actress which means I go to bed rom 9am - 10am every other day, sometimes...I don't sleep at all.



In the midst of that, I've tried to have some sort of social life...trying to have a male friend, keeping up to date with my friends, making sure my mom knows I'm not dead, you know the usual. I'm by definition, very confident about all the moves I make but lately I've also been unusually anxious and stressed out.



A lot of times, you feel like this:
But...most of the time it's the matter of asking:



WHAT DO I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE?




No, seriously though...I thought I was having a quarter-life crisis but I guess its just normal and we should all take stock of where we are..Is what we're doing working for us or not? So, I leave you with that question....

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE? WHAT STEPS ARE YOU TAKING TO GET THERE?

Happy Monday. Be encouraged. Go forth and conquer and such!

Swagg's Swexy Shoe of the Week!

Shoe of the Week is from Ruthie Davis, these studded platform pumps are very Rock Glam Chic, and definitely takes a certain kinda woman to pull off. $1,295 via www.shopsheboutique.com





Sooooo earlier this week, Swizz Beatz gave a twitpic preview of the new men wing-tipped Christian Louboutin’s for Fall /Winter 2010….and must I relay…THEY’RE WAYYYY MAJOR #SHOEORGASM

You guys know I’m a Jeremy Scott FANATIC, and a few of his Fall/Winter 2010 pieces leaked on a German site. Here are a few pieces I really like. Every season, Jeremy Scott continues to take his line via Adidas to the next level, by morphing the Adidas classic track pant, jackets, and shoes..and making them POP in a flambouyant, avant-garde, club-kid kinda way! AND I LOVE IT!

This is a woman’s hoody! Kinda fly right?

These are unisex!


Of course not to be worn together…but check out the bottoms!
And if you want baby to be fly too……….

Fired.

Sorry guys...I haven't been the best blogger. I've been working on a movie which has filmed every other day, wrapping at 9am. This means, I go to bed around 10am, wake up at around 4. Get up and do it again. I've also been running around the city like a mad person, going from photo shoot to photo shoot. Less glamorous than it sounds...in this industry, its feast or famine. I'm trying to eat high off the hog. Anyway....here are some photos that have inspired me lately. Hopefully, I can get in a video and some outfit posts in soon.






Hair envy!

Monday Morning Tidbits: Hold the Phone!!

I re-discovered my two most favorite John Coltrane songs...Naima and In a Sentimental Mood. I went through a phase where I only listened to jazz. It was an amazing phase and although British pop has taken over my life for the moment, when these songs popped up in my cerebellum this weekend, it was an instant reprieve from the hustle bustle of my life.


Enjoy!
