A New Look: Onika Minaj

Since the beginning of the new season of American Idol, Nicki Minaj has been looking fairly brand new and I LOVE it! I think she looks adorable, fun, and her style has toned down. Minaj is featured on the latest cover of Elle magazine and she looks decent.
 In my opinion, this could be the first step to changing the rap game. The younger female generations can now see that although sex sells, class and confidence is important. The world needs more unique people like this being good successful role models.
In a recent interview called the "Minaj make-under  she stated that changing her look was definitely not easy. She talks about her change and gives advice to her fans. This is a new person and I look forward to seeing more of her like this. (Link Below)

Transitioning Fashion: In Between Seasons!

Have you been into a store recently? Thinking its a new season you may find something cute, flirty and bright, but it was the total opposite walking out with nothing?

On Friday, I went to H&M to find a nice dress for my cousins wedding this upcoming weekend and was shocked I found  nothing. It's because the seasons are changing and retail is changing as well. During the transitioning phases, its best to pick up classic pieces that will last for a long time. For example, neutral color tees, undergarments, blue denim jeans, jackets etc. The transitioning phase is when your money is worth its value because you can get more for what you buy. The in between stages prepares you for summer and winter. So the next time you go shopping remember if you are shopping within the months of Jan-March and August- October to find classic pieces that will last you more than just one month. Now when I shop I am mindful of what I will be spending my money on and  I come out happy feeling refreshed.

                                      

 

This has nothing to do with fashion persay, BUT...

BIRTHDAY IN THE CITY

 I had a birthday last Wednesday and to celebrate I went to NEW YORK CITY! It was the best birthday celebration I've had SO FAR. My 22nd birthday was spent with my two dearest friends who I love Nicki and Malaysia. NYC is such a great place for people who dare to be different. The fashion is different and people there create their own styles and trends.

When we first arrived, we went to brunch at a restaurant called Tonic Bar, they had the best egg wraps and french toast I''ve ever tasted, I would highly recommend this place. We also visited the Museum of Sex, if you ever get to go to NYC go there you will learn some interesting things about all types of sex. Our hotel was nice, small, and expensive! Everything had a cost.

 Late, Saturday night, we went to a club called Greenhouse the most diverse club I've ever been too. The music was on point and the drinks kept coming. Everything about NYC is wonderful. The people, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment was on point. I do plan to visit again. My birthday in Times Square/ Manhattan gave me every bit of life and it will be one of the most memorable celebrations.
