When you look like you stepped out of a catalog, that’s never good. People shouldn’t succumb to trend, they should interpret trend.

Celebrating 10 Years
Real Style: Tiffany
-My name is Tiffany from NewlyInspired
I love visiting your blog because I love your outfit posts, how would you describe your style??
-Thanks you! I enjoy everyone's comments; they really make my day :). My style is a mix of cali, a mix of boho, with slight girlyness (hence the dresses I dearly love). It all really depends on my mood :)
And what are your favorite stores or spots you like to go to, to shop??
-I love thrifting for the randomness you come across, H&M for good quality at an affordable cost fashion, eBay for designer for less, and random street boutiques for their uniqueness.
Right now, what is on your fall/winter list??
-I love the summer, but am uber excited for fall! I'm looking forward to layering, black black black, boots (over the knee especially is on my hunt list), vintage coat, chains...so much, but definately those!
I like that, definitely agree on that one. Who do you look at for style inspiration??
-I love street style blogs. Foreign fashion bloggers are my favorites (Lisa's place, amlul, sofis snapshots, almah). I also love everybody is ugly, fashiontoast, karlascloset, and recently sea of shoes. Oh how I would LOVE LOVE LOVE her shoe collection.
In your book, what is a fashion don't and what is something that you think every women should own??
-Scrunchies; definitely a don't. Every woman should own a good pair of stacked fierce heels, whether it be boots, sandals or both. My current go to are my Jeffrey Campbells Camp shoes! LOVE them.
If you had money, where would you travel just for the fashion??
- Its cliche, but DEFINITELY PARIS! And I would love to be there during> fashion week, in the tents, viewing all the designer's collections!
- Its cliche, but DEFINITELY PARIS! And I would love to be there during> fashion week, in the tents, viewing all the designer's collections!
I think most definitely would love to visit paris, but while we are talking about designers who is your favorite designer and why?? and what is your favorite piece out of their fall collection??
-My current favorite designer is Isabel Marant. Love her Fall 2008 RTW; especially the attached look. To die for! I also love Alexander Wangs collection from Fall 2008 RTW. The vest is what i'm truly coveting. I picked up a similar one I thrifted, but will have to alter before debuting it :)
which do you prefer: bracelet or earrings?? really cute bag or really cute shoes??
-Definately bracelets and most definately shoes!! I have a strong addiction to shoes (who doesn't!!!).
Finish this sentence: I cannot live without my ________________.
-Jeffrey Campbell shoes and black eyeliner :)
-Jeffrey Campbell shoes and black eyeliner :)
And I swear this is the last question..what is one trend that you are sick of right now??
-I know some people love this look, and many do pull it off, but I don't like the Katie Holmes style folded jeans (trousers are OK). Karla from karlascloset is probably that only one I've seen so far who pulls it off well. Thanks lovely!

Spotted: J. Lo
Miss Lopez pictured here shopping in Milan, while still on vacation. Looks like someone is ready for winter already, and I am loving the way she looks. Flats never looked so glamorous, and I tell you one can never go wrong with a nice big scarf. Love it.
And The Winner Is...
So I know it has like taken me forever to announce the winner of the American Apparel contest, but it was a hard decision. It ultimately at the end, was between Bombchell in Atlanta and Wendy from Hand It Over..
So I finally figured it out, and there is no more waiting.
The winner is Bombchell in Atlanta, so when you see this throw me an email.
Nina Garcia's Top 10 Luxe List
10. Wide Legged Trousers:"Wide-legged styles offer freedom of movement and are glamorous. Look for a pair with a cuff, leave the hemline a little long, and try them in black, white, camel or pinstripe for the most enduring style."
9. Trench: "When you've got a great trench on, what's underneath isn't so important...Of course a khaki gabardine is the classic, but you can also dare to go for some edge, some color, some gold lame."
8.Stilletos: "A quality stiletto will last longer, wear better, and will not leave you hobbling down the street. A woman wearing the right stiletto is a true force to be reckoned with."
7. Little Black Dress: "Consider your LBD a blank canvas instead of a fallback. It demands to be accessorized and adorned."
6. Knee Boots: "The version every girl needs comes just below the knee and looks best when worn with skirts that hit just above the knee."
5. Jeans: "It's not the label or the cost that makes a pair of jeans perfect; it's the way they fit and make you feel. Mostly, it's about how you look when you walk away."
4. Investment Bag: "It is going to last you a lifetime, will never go out of style, and will only get better with age...And when your granddaughter happens upon it fifty years from now, she will try and steal it."
3. Evening Gown: "The black-tie invite will come - and when it does, you don't want to be in the torturous situation of the under-pressure-evening-gown-hunt. Opt for year-round fabric: chiffon, lightweight crepe, or lightweight silk or satin."
2. Cashmere: "Have as many cashmere sweaters as possible in as many versions as possible. The silken featherlight feel will always make you feel luxe."
1. Animal Print: According to Nina, "Buying a print with a pedigree (think Dolce & Gabbana or YSL) is the best way to avoid the garish look sometime associated with animal prints."
Rachel Zoe && Piperlime
Ok, so I was watching one of, if not my current favorite show "Rachel Zoe Project". And I dont know how I didnt notice this part of the show before, but I didn't, which is a shame. But any who online shoe retailer Piperlime had Rachel pick out her favorites from their website. After watching the episode, I went on www.Piperlime.com and out of all Rachels picks I picked my favorites so here they are:
P.S. Some of these are repeats because I have mentioned in the past that I liked them, but anyway enjoy.

Solange performing at the Rock the Vote road trip. I love this girl, and suprisingly I do like ths outfit (without the gold belt). I am also definitely loving the shirt, one can never go wrong with Obama. And the jacket is definitely a nice addition to an otherwise boring outfit.

Are You Ready??
New interview coming with the very nice Tiffany from Newly Inspired. It def will be up by monday, have a good weekend everyone.
Saturday in a Nut Shell
Well yesterday my sister, Brit and I went to our high school friend Tina baby shower. Which was fun. I didnt take any pictures in the baby shower, or of Miss Prego, but we did take Pictures outside
Me
Asia and I (we are like ying and yang seriously)
Asia and Brit
After we left the baby shower and took these pictures we headed off to Atlantic Station where I stopped in H&M. They didnt have much, actually they have been disappointing me lately, so I just picked up a black hoody, black scarf (the one to my blue scarf), and this super cute bag that you will be seeing in the next couple of pictures. After I finished my really short trip at H&M, we headed off to Underground Atlanta. This time I made Asia drive, I was tired so I took a nap until we reached. When we got there my sister asked this nice man having lunch (I think) to take this picture, and this is it. He and his coworker were really nice. Thanks
When in there we just walked and looked and took pictures
Me and my twin sister again, I love her sooo much. She is seriously my other half. Damn girl is always soooo bright.
We looked around and as usual there was nothing there, but a bunch of hot messes. Like seriously I really do not like that place. But I did buy one thing. I bought this pin from a street vendor with Barack Obama on it. What was funny is that the pin was a dollar, and then Brit asked if she had any McCains, and the women responded a few, but it will be five dollars. Lol. Which was cool. The lady was really really nice. Thanks. Lol.
And in this picture is the really cute bag that I had purchased like an hour earlier at H&M. Isnt it cute, I love it already.
Then we left (Im not pictured cause I was taking the picture), and headed back west to meet up with a friend, and get tattoos and piercings.
We Won
So since uhhh last week thursday I had been working hard in my art class on this group project that a couple of my classmates and myself had to do. We basically had to all choose two fears and make six sketches. After we all got together we decided that we all had guns, conformity, and time as a fear. And then we decided that all of our fears tied into the government. We worked hard for a week, and for a class that only meets twice a week I thought we did a damn good job, and apparently we werent the only ones. The class, and graduate students of the art department felt the same way. Anyway we won, and I was super excited, so here it is.
Thats Jessy she is sooooo nice.
I did the clock, and helped with the little men. OMG you do not know how many details went into those little handsome people.
And this is what I wore:

Only You Can Silence Yourself.
Jessica Alba taped down, and mouth taped shut in the new ad for declare yourself.
Here is what Miss Alba had to say about the ad and the campaign:
"I really don’t see the point in not registering to vote. We sign up for MySpace pages and Facebook pages, and download music off the internet. The least people can do is register to vote online, actually making a difference in their world, not just making their lives a little bit cooler. It makes more sense to spend your time making a change in society—and it actually doesn’t take that much time! It takes more time to make a music playlist than it does to register to vote."
Here are other ads for the Declare Yourself Campaign:
Rihanna and T.I. pictured at the MTV VMA's. I love her vest. Despite the accessories that I love, my eyes zoomed right pass them, and to the vest. Isn't it gorgeous.
Fashion Show: Brandy
Brandy pictured at Port 1961 Spring 2009 fashion show. I must say after all the drama has left her life Brandy is looking so much better. She looks really good here. I love love love her top. And is it me or since her comeback her hair has been on point.

I love the dress, just love it, I am not too much liking the hair with this look. And although I like the boots, I think she should of worn something different
What do you think??
Here Raven Symone is pictured at post VMA's party. Raven never seems to suprise me, which is not a good thing. She seriously needs a stylist, like seriously. Everything from the hair, to the dress, to the shoes it is just awful. I just seriously do not like. I know she has potential, she just needs help, serious help. What do you think??
Coffee Run
Talk about adorable families, it is sooo hard not to fall in love when you see Miss Richie with her mini me Harlow. These two were pictured this morning making a morning run for some coffee at Starbucks. Look at mommy Richie feeding her baby girl, ahhhhhh so cute. They both look super cute in these pictures. I love love love Nicole shirt, I dont know I just have an obsession with patterns like such. Nicole can def rock the hell out of some denim cut offs. Plus Harlow looks sooo adorable in her dress, and her new toy. She is definitely a Nicole offspring. What do you think of their coffee run look??

The Tattoo
So this is the tattoo that I have on my back...the stars with the heart is an old tattoo I believe I had gotten two years ago, and so I added the VIII XXIX to the side of it. VIII XXIX is my birthdate, and I got it on my birthday. I love it. By the end of the year I want to add at least four more pieces to this tattoo piece. What do you think?? The pain was alot more harsher than what I remembered, but I took it well.
The Sisters...
at the VMA party. Personally if you ask me they all look a hottt damn mess, I am sorta kinda liking Khloe dress, but other than that, definitely not feeling the other two.

Can you tell that I am terribly sick. I managed to survive through my birthday weekend. But now I feel like crap way more. I knew I should of gulped down that gallon of orange juice, and a bottle of buckleys..Ewwwwww..Arent summer colds the worst.
Already?!?!
I love the pieces that Meagan Good is wearing in this picture. I like the look, dont get me wrong but is it already time for leather jackets. I must add that this is a cute ass jacket, and I want it. This women is just pure beauty.
Pink?!?!
Sometimes I question Pink, but I love this women. Man, Pink is the best, she does not care or give two f**ks about anything, and that is just the way I like it. I must admit that I love her hair like this. I am loving her in this photo especially, she makes me want to go get a bike and ride it to and from a party. And I also find it great how she doesnt blend with her silver/white hair, and the white dress.
Remember...

I have sooo much more coming sooo stay tuned..
