Women Working

Yesterday I had the opportunity to work with model Raven (with Neal Hamil Agency) photographer Jordan (of Jordan Fischels Photography), and Makeup Artist/Hairstylist Areial (of Beauty By Areial) during a photo shoot that consisted of looks that had fun 70s appeal to 90s SUPERMODEL. Below are a few outtakes from that shoot; excited to see the end result of working with these talented individuals!

GLAMPING w/a SIDE OF STYLE

Spent this past Friday night keep a youth busy at what I called the GLAMPSITE. Mixed a few shiny, sprakly, glam type pieces with a few rough, rugged, outdoors type pieces to create GLAMP (GLAM + CAMP) looks. Below is the end result of that mixture via a few outtakes from the project...Thanks again to all involved. More photos will be posted soon at www.sideofstyle.com.

Psssssssst...

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

I Must Admit

I must admit...there's this little pinch of ghetto girl in me that I cannot outgrow. Like any other chic she likes gold, gold spikes, leopard print, high heels, and Timberlands. But unlike a lot of chics she likes gold, gold spikes, leopard print, high heels, and Timberlands even if they're all rolled into one. The same chic that I spoke of in the past that will always have a love for nail art like this:


Will forever have a place in her heart for country-fried gaudiness like this:


I no longer have that "POP" in me to wear them...but for those who do the boots are

THROWBACK THURSDAY: 2002

Natural hair, camouflage trousers, clutch bag, and Christian Louboutins = Joan Clayton (Tracee Ellis Ross) circa 2002. This is the episode I spoke of HERE that lead to me researching Christian Louboutin after watching in 2002. I was just as obseseed with Joan's style as I was Carrie's (SEX IN THE CITY). I said it before and I’ll say it again…I miss my “GIRLFRIENDS”.



Watch what happens (starting at 1:02) when Joan Clayton’s Christian Louboutin’s are thrown from her reach:

It's Your Season

N.I.C.E.----Where the "N" is for "Niece" (Sometimes)

Sharing a few photos of my niece from, what are now, her mother’s holiday cards. I’m amazed at the fact that my sister, who is a sneaker addict, still has some of her sneakers from the 90s. And as we all know the 90s is the “IT” era right now and the sneakers below (from 1996) came in handy for this look.

HOLIDAY-PARTAY

TIME OUT

Praying for all affected by the terrible tragedy that has taken place in Connecticut on today…I cannot imagine going up to the school, after receiving such horrid news, and not having my niece run out to me. My heart aches for those parents.

EVIL is a busy spirit…

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man---James 1:13

#REPOST from Instagram

Monday night I stepped out and ate BANG BANG SHRIMP and BANG BANG SHRIMP Tacos at Bonefish Gril with my cousin to celebrate her date of birth. Me, Tupac, a tuxedo jacket, a denim shirt, and a pair of pointy cap toe heels enjoyed ourselves.

Key's Favorite Things Part 3

As I said before…I’m far from OPRAH but, as we all do, I have my favorite things. And with that I introduce my lip print and/or lip shape obsession. From phones (which I actually purchased at Urban Outfitters, awhile back, for $9.99)-to accessories-to clothing-to lips that are red-to lips that are gold…I NEED IT. (Part 1 and 2 of my favorite things HERE)
