Neutral Makeup - Let's Call it Practice

Hey loves

I filmed myself doing my makeup here but it was kind of a fail. I don't like the lighting, the camera angle, my hair...and much more so let's call it practice for better makeup tutorials in the future :)

Nonetheless, here it is below:

I promise, I was not this bronzed up and shiny in real time (in person) lol!

Boldly,

Rue 114

I have been meaning to write this post for so long now :( Excuse me for my tardiness.

I'm in love with Rue 114; as if the name isn't enough to garner your attention immediately! I have been eyeing this clothing line for months and am thoroughly impressed. I think the website states it best in describing the line as "created for women who believe that every shape and size should be celebrated as beautiful". Their intro collection (available in sizes 2 -22), "Et Dieu Créa La Femme" (And God Created Woman), in my opinion somehow manages to flatter the physique of all women regardless of shape or size. The Founder of Rue 21, Serwah Asante, boldly and intelligently fuses her Ghanaian-American upbringing with NYC glam that is to die for! Luscious material, African print, thoughtful design, figure hugging silhouettes - what more is there one would want!

And as if it couldn't get any better the, the collection is modeled by both a standard and plus sized model. How many times have you shopped online at a store that has extended sizes but no pictures of how the fit would look on a woman larger than size 6/8....Check out the pics/links below:

The Femme Fatale Blouse in Cream Chiffon

The "Shimmy On Over" Pencil Skirt in Rue 114 African Print

The "Shimmy On Over" Pencil Skirt in Navy

The Femme Fatale Blouse in Rue 114 Signature African Print

The Afripop Pencil Dress  (available in Taupe, Noir, & Cobalt) 

Magnifique!!! The price range for the collection is a little pricey (not ridiculously) but considering the make, fabric, print, fit, and quality, it's understandable. Though I plan on splurging eventually, my recent college grad budget restricts me from ordering individual pieces like these for right now - except for  important dates (weddings, birthday (MINE), you know life altering circumstances). Will you be buying soon?

p.s. Did you spot plus size model Allison McGevna in the pics above! Love her blog and her! Such an inspiration! Check her out:  http://alliemcgev.blogspot.com/

Hair Update...

Hey loves,

I posted a video update on my hair install a few days ago on my youtube channel. Check the video out below:

I will repeat this again, I do not support New Jolly Hair Products. Of the three, the Quindao Premier Wigs hair is the best in my opinion; good quality, full bundles and true to length. The Guangzhou Truly Industry Hair is actually beautiful really good quality hair; however I would not purchase again from them because their bundles are thin (especially towards the ends), they are not true to length  (in fact 2 or more inches off), and the wefts are horrendous.

Bold Kisses,
Moji

Very Casual OOTN

Hey loves,

Here is a quick outfit of the night I wore to the movies this weekend. If you haven't seen Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man already, you really really should. Not only was it unbelievably funny, but it actually placed the characters in thought provoking situations and circumstances. I loved it! Pics of the outfit below:

Glamspiration!

Hey there!

I have been loving this beaded bracelet trend that EVERYONE has been rocking lately. I have always loved beaded bracelets but several stacked together in bright and vibrant colors with beautiful gold and silver pendants hanging off of them, I can't help myself! I will most certainly be stacking bracelets like this for spring/summer. It looks like ART!

ART I tell you, ART! The Honesty Jewelry bracelets are my favorite, honestly lol. Click the links below the photos to check out more from the collections and to find out prices. Now, I will say this whole stacking thing may get really pricey, the Simmons DEF Malachite bracelet retails for about $125 but is on sale for $84. A single Honesty bracelet retails for $67. The Lola James Razzle Dazzle bracelets are more price conscious retailing for $15 a piece. I feel a DIY project coming up soon...

Girl Crush: Tika Sumpter

"...had to let you know that I got a crush on you.."

- the one and only Lil' Kim

Todays Girl Crush is a must that I feature actress Tika Sumpter. Whether you know her from her role on One Life to Live or her guest starring spots on The Game and Gossip Girl, you must admit the girl has style! Tika is definitely making her mark on the red carpet and everywhere else. I love her because you can easily see that she doesn't just dress according to trends but is bold with color and design, fierce in wardrobe and cosmetic choices and takes risks...the girl does her thing! As a beautiful deep-chocolate sister setting an example for the many women who look like her but are not as often represented in the media, she's stunting on these others chicks and showing them how. I admire her! See for yourself below:

Look familiar lol?
