And He Don't Stop
Ok, so I posted yesterday about how Diddy offered the state of New York 1 million dollars to turn the New Years Eve ball purple, but his offer was declined. Well now Diddy has teamed up with the city Taxi & Limousine Commission , in which they are giving away free can rides for all of our tipsy party goers. Thousands of 15 dollar debit cards are going to be give away, and will be redeemed for single taxi rides. You can get your card in one of two places, which are Times Square and Chelsea. They will begin handing them out at 11pm tonight until 3am on Thursday. All I can say is thanks Diddy and Ciroc.

Le Crouser
The Le Crousar by Bulga is a perfect addition for any women wardrobe. It is available in only one color which is midnight as shown, but this color is thee most perfect color for this beauty. Le Crousar features platform bottom, twist lock closure, and a tasel pull. The details on this bag is lovely, I think the details it what makes it what it is. It is available here.

The river is constantly turning and bending and you never know where it's going to go and where you'll wind up. Following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. Don't let anyone deter you from that.

I love love these shoes. According to my sister these are some BB shoes. Jessica S. definitely knows what she was doing when she made these babies. They come in two colors black and white, but both have a different wedge. I think every women need a shoe like this in their wardrobe, it will make it that much more interesting. Seriously. They are available here and here.
Elementary Reunion
So today I did not do anything special. I layed arouund the house all day, and then I decided to log onto my facebook. When I logged on I saw something about a reunion and then I asked my ssister about it and she had already responded to the invite and was going, so I decided I was going to go also. Any who a wonderful women by the name of Danielle who attended the same elementary school that my sister and I attended decided to do this reunion. When we got there of course the other people were running on black and caribbean people time. It initially was supposed to start at 6 then they pushed it back to 7 and no one showed up till 7:30. Which was crazyyy..As the minutes flew by more and more people started to come. I loved it. We ended up dining at Prontos Pizza Bar on 41st between Broadway and 6th Avenue (you should go). We got totally wasted I will post pics of everything tomorrow. But now I want to sleep. And this is me for now.
Eartha Kitt has died today at the age of 81 due to colon cancer. She will be missed, rest in peace.

Who Is Linking You??

Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
-Vivienne Westwood
Real Style: Frankie
- My name is Kymika Lee but I run off as Frankie
Where did the name Frankie come from??
-The word frankly is the fastest way to describe me, which means indeed... without any question, often used interjectionally to express irony or disbelief or surprise!frankly sounded unpiff so i made it femme dope by saying FRANKIE! the $ is for stush :o)
Nice, I love unusual names that have a meaning. So how old are you??
-18 years on grindemode love!
Grindmode!! I like that. Whats your motivation??
-Mentor Brandon Modeste, which gave me help with life challanges, including sharing ideas with my line (formally called Picky Crowd) and his line called No Idea Clothing. On August 30th, 2008, Brandon passed away and I then renamed the clothing line name Picky Crowd to The B! Rich Collective, one of many Brandon Modeste's nicknames- Due to the fact I feel as though Brandon wised me up when it came to the business, it's him who seen things in me... I didn't see in myself, because of that I, Frankie dedicates the line to him to prove that I can be those things he knew more than well I was.
What does The B! Rich Collective consist of??
-Mens wear & women... asseccories also
What made you want to create a clothing line originally??
-What little money I had I spent on clothes, which I'd tear apart in order to remake and customize them. Through this process I taught myself how to design. After awhile I started thinking... like yo i'm really good at this!
So, where do you see yourself and your clothing line in 5-10 years??
-Myself... still grinding harddd misses! and hopefully have the B.A.M Foundation for Brandon going
That's so nice. So everything you do from now on will it be inspired or dedicated to Brandon.
-Of course, we had major plans... so I'll just do all of it on my own for me and him, which is beautiful to me!
That is a greatt thing, so style wise what makes you different from any one else that is walking down the street??
-I think because I wear whatever... f*** the weather. If I wanna wear shorts in december, I'll work around that and people won't say "girllll are you cold?" more like "damn girl, that's hot! where you get it from?". I just don't care but instead people see it as I'm sooo different.
What is one trend that you are sick of right now??
-Uh too many colors... worn for no reason! and colorful pearls- so not the drama.
Oh gosh I agree 100%, what is something that you feel is a necessity in an outfit??
-Comfort. if your not comfortable in a outfit- don't wear it... you feel awkward & it takes away your confidence.
Definitely, I know clothes I always run to for ultra comfort is a pair of leggings, and whatever cute top and jacket. What do you run to??
-My hair! deadass... like my hair is what give you an idea of what im trying to accomplish in most or any of my outfits... but lately if i feel too cute or simple, i just pull out the boots! those are my favorite now and days..
Do you believe that beauty is pain??
-Depends- if your an all eccentric person... there is no pain in that. If your a high maintenance person- ofcourse. I think im both...
Do you have any guilty pleasures?? If so, what are they??
-Yeah sports bras... yeah man Lol I hate breast they make me feel fat and my sports hold them for me... tuck them in tight Lol
Lol, I completely can relate. What is a quote or saying that you live by??
-Hmm i think i always turn to the quote: "Pretend you know what your doing even if your nostalgic about whatever it is."
Finish the sentence: I cannot live without my ______________.
-Sewing machine mann, i mean i use for everything lol even if there isnt shit wrong with what i'm using it for.

I don't really think about anything too much. I live in the present. I move on. I don't think about what happened yesterday. If I think too much, it kind of freaks me out.
