Who Would Deny King Bey?

I'm going to keep this post short and simple. Lord knows, I come and go on this blog. I thank all those of you who continue to support - it means the world. If I could thank each of you personally, I honestly would.

King Bey said it best back in '06:

...Every woman got one...Shut it down when the time comes
...Pull out the big guns..and put your freakum dress on...

This is a dress I pull out when I don't have the time to think about color schemes, patterns or matching shoes. If it's a sexy, festive occasion, this dress always fits the script. The dress is actually from Dots; to my surprise the quality is incredible. I have had the dress for three years and it has served me well.

 Click here to check out my video in the dress.

Details:
Dress: Dots
Shoes: Torrid
Earrings: Local Boutique
Ring: Dots


Bisous,

sidenote: Perhaps I should do a post on the many ways to approach the little black dress??

"I Knew It, I Knowed It!"

I don't know where I heard the title of this post (Madea Maybe??) but it definitely applies to how I feel about this Clevver Style interview with Keke Palmer and her stylist. As you all know from a previous girl crush post, I love Keke. She is young, multi-talented, beautiful, driven and has a style all her own that is to be reckoned with. As the great Beyoncé once said: "...[she] may be young, but [she's] ready...", as you will see from the video below. Keke knows what she wants in terms of making a statement with what she chooses to wear. Her stylist, Melis Kuris, who has been working with her since her tween years, has continued to help grow and expand her image from Nickelodeon fave to young hottie. The two make for a dynamic duo.

Honestly, I also just love to hear the story behind the scenes - minus all the glamour, flashing lights, red carpets and possible photoshopping. They also spoke briefly about the importance of comfort and compatibility in reference to wardrobe, makeup, and hair styling.  It may be a good watch for those of you who may be looking into the wonderful world of styling...

Enough of the delay...watch for you self below!

Bisous,

Spring & Summer Essentials: Lace ME UP!!

Hey Lovies,

I know, I'm a bit late with this - I did plan on posting this yesterday.

Lace, lace, I love lace! Here is my first lace post of spring. I actually wore this outfit a week ago catching up with the high school/college besties. I am also entering this outfit for YouTube Beauty Guru, Passion Jonesz, and Diva Hair Couture's Spring Contest. I didn't have the time to record a video then so I taped this for you all last night! Hope you enjoy!

Spring & Summer Essentials: Lace

It's not just to spice up the look of your undergarments! Lace, the fabric of the bold! 

 Hey Loves,

This season and into summer, spice up your life with a little bit of lace. The great thing about it is you can wear it in moderation or in excess if you'd like. Buy a dress with lace detail, wear lacewith a solid layer underneath, wear a garment with lace-trim...lace up your outfits however much you want lol. Here are a few lace pieces that I've been scoping out on my never-ending cyber-window shopping journeys. Click for the links below.

Stay Bold & Stay Beautiful,

Spring! My Dear Spring, Please Come Back!

Hey Ladies,

I don't know what is going on with this weather! I live in the Northeast and have spent my entire life withstanding frigid winters and beautiful fall, summer and spring seasons. However, last winter never really came - it was more like a long fall. Spring seemed to arrive early but it only lasted for a short while and 'fall' came back. Please Spring...with your nice warm and breezy weather please come back. Please Spring...Come Back!! Only when you come back can I wear beautiful bold outfits like the one below:

                  Click links below for more info:

• Yellow Blazer - Jessica London 
• Multi-Color Dress - Fashion to Figure 
• Neon Bangles - Fashion to Figure 
• Color-Blocked Wedges - Target  (out of stock as of now) 
• Portfolio Clutch - Asos 

Oh the inspiration!!!!!!

It All Belongs To Me

I'm probably one of the last few people who finally took the time out to watch the new Brandy & Monica collaboration, It All Belongs To Me. I think the song is simple, nice and enjoyable but for some reason it doesn't incite those same hype, youthful feelings I had years ago when they released their first duet, The Boy Is Mine. 

However, after watching the video I said..."[*que my fake Nigerian accent*] WHOA MY GOODNESS!"...at the fashion and style ever-present throughout. I think that the two women have each reach a new height in their style game with this one! Does anyone know who was their stylist on the set of the video? Every scene was fashion inspiration: they did no wrong!

Check out the video below:

D.I.Y.with Spikes and Studs

One trend that has been making the rounds with great fashion houses such as Balmain is the studded jacket movement inspired by military garb. Checkout a few celebrities wearing this trend belox:


Alicia Keys (Balmain)



Miley Cyrus (Balmain)

Kim Kardashian & Monica (Burberry)


You can easily get the look for less with a simple D.I.Y. project. Check out this video by the YouTube famous beatycrush:

I definitely plan on taking on a similar project! So easy, so simple, so fashionable!

Glam-Book: Do you have one?

So for a few days I have been thinking about what I should next or the topics I should be covering in my posts. I eventually realized that I started this blog as an extension of me - wanting to share my love for all things glamour while learning from others by reading their blogs/vlogs and learning about their thoughts/ideas/expressions of hair, fashion, makeup, and everything else. All that aside I figured, I need not think too much about what to post, just share me! So the first thing I thought was let me share my Glam-Book - PURE INSPIRATION.
I'm pretty sure that every girl out there has some form of a Glam-Book and if you don't then please start one NOW! My Glam-Book (which I'm sure may go by a different name for anyone that has one) contains pictures of outfits, makeup looks, hair styles, wedding-planning ideas (as if I'm getting married soon - s.m.h.) decoration ideas, Vendors (hair companies, accessories dealers, online boutiques), and everything else that inspires me. I get happy and excited looking at the pictures featured!!! Here's a snapshot of my Glam-Book that I update using Microsoft Office's OneNote:

Do any of you have a similar Or different version of your own Glam-Book?

Bold Kisses,

Moji
