PAINT THE CITY PINK

I love Victoria Secret Pink, it's by far the only store that I can find something cute to add to all my collections. I always tell all of my friends that I should have owned this store just because the simple fact that I am always anxious when I shop there. The bags, beauty products and  lingerie are amazing. I always get my size and the color is always perfect. Most individuals are thrilled with the tag lines that are on the underwear and tee-shirts. They are funny and cute. I also love the dogs which come in a variety of colors.

WAYS WOMEN STAY YOUNG

Women always lie about their age as men always say but they never ever guess the right age of a women because we are the best secret keepers (fact or fiction). Hence I formulated a list of the ways that we as women hide our age.

1. Buy a lot of face tightening creams                              
2. Read Tween Magazines example CosmoGirl and Seventeen
3. Party like rockstars at night clubs
4. Shop where their daughters shop example PinkIce
5. Watch entertainment television
6. Wear a lot of make-up
                                            

TEEN VOGUE AND BLACK HAIR OBSESSION

Teen Vogue is the main source for teen celebs secrets about shopping spots, make-up tips, fashion and hair. It is a top seller in the entertainment industry and I'm a main contributor of it. I learn so much about fashion in these tiny books. I recently got a few from forever 21 because I'm a frequent buyer. The main reason I love this book is the bright colored aspect. It's so youthful, fun and exciting.

My first Black Hair Magazine was bought years ago in a Chinese variety store in Philadelphia and ever since that day I've been purchasing them. It not only shows you the latest styles but provides tips about hair care, treatment and products that will treat black hair. There is a wide variety of celebrities throughout the book including Janet Jackson, Jennifer Hudson and Ciara. Keeping your hair up-to-date with the latest trends is ideal.

BEIGES AND GREYS

I have found a new love for natural colors like beige and grey, reason being that I am getting older. No doubt pink is still my favorite color but maturity brings open-mindedness. Beige is one of the main colors displayed on runways for Fashion Week 2010-2011. It also is expressed perfectly and is very charming. From dresses to coats, the softness of the color is alarming. Even when it comes to the different seasons, beige is suitable for all four. An all beige look is super trendy, compliments any skin tone and favors a variety of make-up shades.

Another new found color favorite is grey. Grey is definitely the new black in my book. Grey is the symbolic color of networking, sharing and open ending enterprising. Leading fashion designers like Burberry and Juliette Hoffmann use grey frequently to capture their artistic variations. I wear grey with pink, yellow and blue because it just looks great. Being average is unacceptable in the world of fashion so mixing colors together is recommended.

STYLE WATCH:- CROCHET

It's all about Crochet. Almost every celebrity have been spotted wearing this trend and even though it's seems corny, I love it. I was skeptical at first because I hated the material ever since I was young and it would be all over my chairs...gross. It grew onto me especially the beige pieces. It's a very classy and sophisticated look for women paired with the right jewelry. I would advise wooden bangles or beaded accessories to complete your look but if you have another idea that suits you well then go for it. The number one problem I experienced with the crochet material is the washing options which is mainly hand washing. Oh how I hate hand washed material because it eventually unravels.

SWEETS VS SALTY

So I am having a hard time with maintaining my weight because everywhere I turn I see food. Fast Food outlets and stalls have completely taken over Trinidad and my mum no longer cooks so I have to eat something hahaha. This may sound like I'm lazy but why should I cook when I could just purchase something right. The best part of my unhealthy eating is the fact that I'm not a big fan of sweets. No cakes, ice-creams or candy seems to satisfy my taste buds. I wont say that I would never eat sweets, it's just the fact that I get upset when I'm done chewing. However, I love fried foods. OMG I could eat fries, burgers and anything with cheese or salt whole year.

I just love when cheese melts in my mouth....yummy. I could rant and rave forever but this will not ensure that I live a long healthy lifestyle. I have opt to change this habit because of the continuous announcements about heart diseases, obesity and hypertension. I've been reading books lately about Health and I'm not ready to hear a doctor say that I should stop eating fatty foods....I might catch a heart attack then. I mean it wont hurt to enjoy these foods once or twice a week with a fruit drink or fresh salad.

THE MODERN MOHAWK

Mohawks are absolutely fierce and I am in love with them. Nowadays people try a lot of innovative stuff with their mohawks like braiding the sides or dying them instead of the traditional shaved sides. It is definitely a high maintenance style. I got no problem with that because being yourself is all that matters but following someone else's style just ruptures your identity. I choose the picture of Rasheeda above because she always keeps her mohawk looking fresh and unique. The style is no longer associated with punk rockers because every individual got a wild side. Since fashion has evolved and everyone is trying is establish their personal style, the subculture that was only seen right for a specific group has expanded.
