What To Wear On a Lunch Date: Outfit Of The Day

If you are going on a lunch date soon, rather it's with girlfriends or that special guy this outfit would be perfect! I put this outfit together from my personal lunch date, and I thought it would be a great idea to share it with everyone. The leather skirt is from H&M, as well as the t-shirt that says it all, "Today's Outfit". I got my red blazer with exaggerated shoulders from a boutique called Giti, and my tights from Hot Topic (which I love). The studded, ankle boots were a serious steal, I found them in Marshalls and my accessories all came from my online boutique, China Candy Couture.

Giuseppe Zanotti E26074



Stop the press! OMG, these Giuseppe Zanotti pumps are so hot, I couldn't wait to post them as a 'Shoe Pick Of The Day'. The colorful, Italian leather, peep toe stands at an impressive 5 3/4" tall and this sexy stiletto is completely covered in leather. This shoe is definitely a show stopper, and your outfit does not have to be bold because this heel is bold enough with a bright pink platform, and teal leather covering. The black leather heel, gives you the chance to opt for a little black dress, but of course all of the attention will be drawn to your feet. If you want to splurge a bit, these are going to run you about $695...ouch!

Fashion Trends: Spring Colors for 2012

Spring is around the corner, believe it or not and if you are wondering what's going to be trending this season I'm here to help. Let's start with a popular Spring 2012 color, green! Yes, I know green is not a very popular color on the wheel and especially in fashion, but you will see a lot of this color this season. From pants, to blouses, handbags and shoes, this green color is definitely going to be around to brighten your spring wardrobe. I would advise paring this green color with other complementary colors. Check out my "Outfit Of The Day" on my vlog wearing this color, which can give you a better idea of how to pull this color off!

Bollyweave Virgin Indian Remy Hair Review

I recently did a review on a hair company called "Bollyweave" , they specialize in Virgin Indian hair extensions. The company contacted me a while ago, and I was very interested after checking out their website because they actually send their Indian hair directly from India. I have am no stranger to great quality Indian hair, and once I received my hair (which I tracked from Chennai, India)I was very pleased. I did an initial unpacking and co-washing review on my channel, and the hair quality was high. After my installation, I determined that the hair is really nice, manageable, it does not tangle, and I didn't experience much shedding.

The hair is priced accordingly, I have always paid 'top dollar' for good quality Indian hair, so I think their prices are actually inexpensive. Check out my videos to see the hair first hand!

So the world has been on baby watch for months now with Beyonce, and she is no longer pregnant! Reports are coming in that Bey gave birth to a bouncing baby girl, last night Jan 7th and they are saying her name is BLUE IVY CARTER or IVY BLUE CARTER (reps haven't confirmed yet). So far the power couple has gotten congratulatory tweets from Rihanna who said "Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih", Diddy and Russel Simmons also tweeted their congrats to the couple.

Well congratulations to the happy couple, and now we'll be looking for that first photo of baby Blue Ivy!

We love you already." And proud aunt Solange tweeted "The most beautiful girl in the world." On another note, Solange also tweeted that "information that goes through the telephone, always gets delivered wrong" probably referring to how everyone twisted the baby's name up!
