My beach outfit?

2010-05-01T14:45:00.001-07:00

Dolce Vita romper? MMHMM baby its cute. But its 158$, so this piece will stay in my dreams.

Big floppy hat? You better believe it. 28$, one time price and a million compliments from it. Roxy was on the right page with this super cute hat!

The earrings are to die for. I'm going to get my cartilage done, and get one of those bad boys up there stat. They're Juicy Couture, but they're 42$, and they're hella cute.

As per Teyana Taylor. I don't even like her like that, and I don't even like leggings like that, but those are amazing. BARBIR HEADS, fool. YES! By DimePiece Designs. While I admit you have to be a particular kind of woman to wear bald barbie doll heads on your legs, you don't have to be in any particular kind of financial situation to afford these suckers. Fiftyfour dollars, my girl. Consider it an investment piece, if you're a cheapie cheapie like myself.
Wear a Vneck tee or a tank to tone it down, but you're practically set.

Whats the big deal with Nicki Minaj?

2010-03-03T11:53:00.000-08:00

Sound like one of them damn Ninja Turtles.

She not cute, she made of plastic (literally, plastic surgery. Just look at the woman pre "Young Money".)

I'm tired of black women acting like she is the be all end all with her prosthetic booty.

YALL KNOW THATS FAKE. GUYS IT DOESNT EVEN LOOK REAL. COME ON!

And what is up with the tired 2.99$ wig from Sally's? UGH! I am so done with how we act like she is all that, and she wearin some eyeshadow you KNOW she bought at CVS.

i'm done, my nigga. OUT.

Dang you look good in that denim.

2010-02-20T11:57:00.001-08:00

I want all the cute summer styles. Rompers, sandals, those Miley Cyrus cutoffs, and bandeau bikinis.

But alas, they do not fit my body shape. I gots too much junk in the EVERYWHERE. Ahaha. I kid. A little.

What can a girl do, you wonder? She goes to Marshalls and buys a lot of shorts. Yes, you heard me right. I know what you’re thinking. “But Kia, if you are so concerned with body image, why are you buying shorts?” CAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT SO STOP ASKING QUESTIONS.

The most important thing to look at with shorts is not the length—which is usually something people worry about first. The crucial step in short shopping?

AVOID THE SAUSAGE LEG EFFECT. You know the sausage leg. When the shorts are so tapered at the bottom your legs look reminiscent of these bad boys? I shudder at the thought.

Step two: Denim is not the “be all end all” of shorts. Pick a breathable fabric that is cute, and patterned. A patterned short means you don’t have to pick a shirt that is particularly “fancy”—the short does it all for you.

Step three: Don’t wear daisy dukes. I promise, nobody wants to see your booty cheeks when you look like this.

Now if you don’t mind I will excuse myself so I may go and pretend to work out to “get ready for spring break”.

Texas, oh Texas.

Oh, Great Texas, weather-holder of all who encompass your state, hear my cry. BRING THE SPRING! Texas is, apparently, very bipolar. A few weeks ago, some of my readers remember that I had a post about how awesome it was that we were already wearing flip flops and shorts and I was bikini hunting. WELL LADIES, SUCK IT UP. Texas thought that we were too happy with the whole “Spring” idea and threw us back into the Texas winter. Which is like fall for northern states but much more rainy. Anyway it is not nice. Ya’ll know I am a provider of cheap clothing that is not of poor quality like Forever XXI, but I guess we must suck it up and think of these as investment pieces.

Winter Essentials?

-A double breasted pea coat, preferably hooded.

-GLOVES. The ones pictured I have :3

Ladies, frostbite is real, regardless of what you think.

-2 PAIR BOOTS: 1)suede, 2)leather or alternative.

In Texas we love cowboy boots! I want these so badly.

-SOME WOOL SOCKS.

Keep hatin, but your grammomma was right.

All objects here are less than fifty dollars—except the cowboy boots. Which are 209$. ON SALE. Tweet me for full price and web location!

KEEP IT GANGSTA. ahaha.

La Roux est trop cool.

2010-02-03T16:42:00.001-08:00

Maybe I’m a little late on the post, seeing as how her album has been out for several months already, but I figure what the hell. Its a good album, and many of her songs are singles. Plus, I want her hair color with a passion that fuels my soul.

Thats whats up, seriously.

But anyway, her album La Roux is already up on iTunes and it is amazingly amazing.

Look up her singles “I’m Not Your Toy” and “BulletProof”.

Keep it trill.

She's got the Jimmy Choo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oos.

2010-01-28T11:25:00.000-08:00

Hey laydeez and menz.

Have you heard of Chester French? YOU HAVEN'T?
Where have you been the past million years of your life?!
Apparently right where you're supposed to be, because Chester French is basically brand spankin' new, having only been signed for about a year.

Well now here is where you step in: THEY ARE FABULOUS.
After signing with Star Trak and the King of Freshness (Pharrell), they are ready to take over the world with their "Beatles+Hip Hop" fusion sound. Here's two of their top songs: The Jimmy Choos and my favorite, She Loves Everybody .Can't hate with great titles like that. Now only if they had a song named "The Louboutins". I'M DOWN.
If you tweet, you'll be happy to know that they do too: riiiight here.
By the way, they are some good looking white boys. JUST SAYIN'.

Reminder: NY FASHION WEEK IS IN T-MINUS TWO WEEKS!
xox.

TV Tuesday: What You Should Be Watching

2010-01-26T15:57:00.000-08:00

Hey gang.

I'm not usually one for totally trashy television, but on Tuesdays, you had better believe it. Oxygen's Bad Girl's Club has been around for about for seasons, but none have been nearly as incredible as this one.

From Natalie's "I RUN LA!" to Amber getting picked up and thrown by her hair for pushing Flo, you are completely and totally entertained.

Readers, normally I would have a longer post, but I got to get ready cause the Bad Girls train is coming through!

xox.

Random Afterthought:

my friend Just Norman showed me a hilarious video that I believe is worth your time. Click here to watch!

"No, no no. Not Tom from Myspace. TOMS!"

2010-01-22T15:55:00.000-08:00

Title is inspired by a conversation I had with a friend of mine today when I informed him of my new purchase.

These are the ones I ordered. They have plenty of other shoes in different styles/colors/patterns, but I plan on decorating them like the DIY queen I am. :3 And since I am also the miser queen as well, it is only normal that these charity clogs only run you the low low price of

FOURTY FOUR DOLLARS!

As I'm sure you know, TOMS is a "One for One" Non-Profit organization: You purchase one pair of shoes from them, and a kid in a third world country receives one as well. It may sound a little lame/unimportant, but shoes, according to the TOMS' website, are crucial.

"Most children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or just getting around, these children are at risk.

Walking is often the primary mode of transportation in developing countries. Children can walk for miles to get food, water, shelter and medical help. Wearing shoes literally enables them to walk distances that aren't possible barefoot.

Wearing shoes prevents feet from getting cuts and sores on unsafe roads and from contaminated soil. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected. The leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted parasites which penetrate the skin through open sores. Wearing shoes can prevent this and the risk of amputation. "

Who would have thought something like shoes were so vital? Not me.

And Texas gave Winter & Spring a miss and went right on into Summer.

2010-01-21T13:18:00.000-08:00

Down here in Tejas, especially in San Antonio and Houston, winter is over and it appears summer has begun. But what do the poor women of south Texas do when its January and the thermometer reads 73 degrees? Why pull out the summer stuff, of course! Here are a few of my favorite well priced picks of S'winter (summer + winter?), cause we all know I am broke.

These little guys are probably my favorite. They're Knockaround glasses, and they come in the coolest colours. High quality plastic, smooth hinges, scratch-resistant lenses, and the Knockaround mantra ACE OF BASE on the right temple are all pretty cool, but want to know what is most intense about these glasses?

THEY'RE TWELVE DOLLARS.
Also very within my price range? These Classified Rihana Sandals.
Go from beach to lunch to wherever in these cute flats!
They're only SEVENTEEN DOLLARS!

This is not exactly in my price range, but not exactly out of it either. This Victoria's Secret Swimsuit cover-up is a good beachy style dress, with its deep V-neck and removable tie-waist belt. Its beach-to-street perfection, for only forty dollars.

stay tuned, sexy beaches!

Ahoy, landlubbers!

Welcome to (omg!) ANOTHER FASHION BLOG! I know, suprise suprise.
But before you go and click off into the stratosphere, I'm here to let you know that this isn't your average fashion/music/media blog.
This is the blog for people who don't try to fake like they're constantly in the mix.
This is the blog people who think about political strata just as much as whether or not Snookie will get hit in the face again (Jersey Shore!).
And this is the blog for people who think that being comfortable is more important than looking chic. (okay, just kidding about that last one.)

I hope you make a return trip.
