Thigh High Boots

So this post is long overdue, but being on vacation, the Holidays, family get togethers and not having to work is a cause for a whole lot of procrastination. I did a little shopping last week and picked up a few things for the family and some things for myself.  I decided to wear my thigh high boots today because a few of my viewers wanted to see them on and with an outfit. I purchased these boots at JCP on Black Friday for 30 bucks. Original price $130.  I wore a black top from by Z. Cavaricci from Torrid I purchased last year. I love the top because I can use year round. 

I cinched the waist with a Belt by Steve Madden and threw a cardigan over.  I added a black sequined hat to avoid frizz since I straightened my hair.

I wore simple accessories. A cute heart necklace my mom gifted me from Avon and star studded earrings. 

I purchased the watch at NY&Co for 1/2 off original price along with three others while shopping at the mall. You can check out my NY&Co. Haul here. 

New York & Co. Haul

While at the mall, I noticed New York & Co. was having a store wide 50% off sale. I checked out their accessories and fell in love with these watches. Each watch was about 20 bucks and with the 50% off sale I couldn't help but pick up a few.

The first one that caught my attention was this bracelet watch with all the chains and links and the face perfectly centered. I've seen many bracelet watches before and normally I see the watch dangling from the bracelet like a charm. This one was different and I liked that nothing was dangling off my wrist. I got this baby for $9.97.

Original Price: 19.95

I picked up this gunmetal watch too. This is a very trendy watch that will stand out easily. I love how the light glistens and bounces off all these watches. Purchased this for 11.47

Original Price 22.95

Picked up this crystal studded watch for $9.97

Original Price: 19.95

This gold watch is one of my favorites. I fell in love with the elegance it presents with it's simplicity. Got it for $12.47

Original Price: $24.95

Today was a very rainy and cold muggy day. I personally loved it. I spent most of my day indoors, watching Season 2 of The Office on Netflix from my laptop as I tried cleaning up a few things in my room. I think I only cleaned up and organized for about five minutes between each episode!

Not very productive.

I hadn't seen The Office until one of my good friends Angel, whom I hadn't talked to in YEARS got a hold of me and said he thought it was hilarious. I had to check it out and couldn't agree more. I'm constantly laughing at the show and even got a little crush on Jim :)

Anyway, I went out a few hours and did a little shopping and I wore this today. It's pretty simple yet edgy. I didn't bother wearing makeup or getting all "pretty".  Luckily makeup isn't something I have to have on before I leave my house.  My weekend has been very relaxing and I'll go to work tomorrow and be off for the next two weeks. I'm hoping I only work 4 hours and get off early since we're only going to do inventory. Either way, I'm looking forward to the next two weeks off :)

Anybody do anything exciting this weekend?

Trey Songz - Can't Be Friends

Open Note to Trey: Trey, we all know you're gorgeous, fine, and that you make our mouth water, but seriously you need to chill and kick back a little with all that sex appeal you are so desperatly trying to ooze out of you in this video.

Now ladies, I am having second thoughts about Trey in this video. I love a man that has confidence in himself and knows he drives a woman crazy, but Trey just over did it for me in this video.  His sexy appeal isn't natural in this video for me, he's trying to damn hard to make you melt and it's just not working for me.

However I do sit back and enjoy being amused by him as he so desperatly tries to "make love to me" through this video. Babe, it ain't working. Sorry. CUT CUT CUT!

I dont know about you all but I almost feel uncomfortable watching this video and I feel for the directors and camera men behind the shoot! lol. He's so into himself in this video it's so ridiculous and so funny to me at the same time. So many girls comment on how they wish they were the girl in the video and I find myself questioning why!? Seriously, the girl may be in his arms but clearly Trey is more into himself than the girl and it's so funny watching him try to act like he's really into her when he's trying so hard to seduce you through the screen. I dont know, it just doesn't flow naturally for me. Defintely amusing though.

From the googly squinty eyes to his head nodding and shaking back and forth, I've never seen a male artist try so hard to detail emotion the way Trey did in this video. ...something's changed for me when it comes to Trey. Seriously, the man looks gay. And threre's nothing wrong with being gay, but what woman fantasizes about a gay man? Not saying Trey is gay, just saying he looks gay to me in this video.

What are your thoughts on the video?

Beautiful Disaster

Since I've moved to my new apartment, I have yet to finish unpacking. I have been so lazy it's ridiculous. I find myself questioning how on earth I became so lazy and when did it start getting so bad.

Sometimes I wonder if my independence led me to become such a lazy ass.

It truly felt amazing to have my own place, live at my own expense; at my own will. Will to do as I pleased. I loved coming home to my place, MY place. A place I called my own in which I did as I pleased. The space in which nobody could mess with. Yea, well my space is all gone now!

 As much as I love living with "the lady" (my mother), it's a constant reminder and challenge to keep things organized.

That lady is so organized she drives me crazy. Why didn't I pick up on that trait hers? I find myself questioning it all the time. Growing up she's always been very stern. I find myself mocking her because she's so organized and I'm the complete opposite which drives her crazy! She knows I try,  she shakes her head in amusement each time she comes to my room and finds me "organizing". She always teases me and says that it always takes me longer to organize than what it lasts before it's all unorganized again. She's alway right, and we laugh together everytime.

I can never lie to her. Lie to her yes, get away with it never. She knows me to damn well.  When we'd talk over the phone, she'd tell me she can guarantee a car that my house was a disaster. I always told her it wasn't, that it was very organized. Truth was, the place was organized--for me. I knew where everything was, I laid it out as I pleased; laid out to work for me. I didn't have kids, a husband, or anyone to be so concerned about and have it so damn tidy. I've never been a neat freak or extremely tidy. I've always been a disaster. A beautiful disaster.

The disaster is getting out of control and it needed a little tame and so I decided I needed to buy a few things in order to get my disaster under control.
