Trendy Girl

There are some fashions that i absolutely love!

In my closet i have a rainbow of bright colored over sized tees, pencil skirts, booties and animal prints. Being a student gives me a reason to dress crazy when i come to school. My style muses are M.I.A., Rihanna, Beyonce, Kate Moss, and yes...Lindsay Lohan. lol All of these women styles and attitudes are out of the box and similar to my style.

I can be who ever i want to be if i just choose the right outfit.

I can wear a pencil skirt and some heels to school or work. I also love purses! Betsey Johnson Bags are my fav!

Today i am my definition of: rocker grunge. i have my fringe leather bag...leather jacket...my hair in a bang poppin off...some black eyeliner and black eyeshadow with a pink lip and some destroyed jeans.

maybe tomorrow i will be a grunge Barbie!

Touch the Sky

My favorite type of shoe other than booties is platform shoes. To me they seem to be more comfortable than any regular heel or pump. It just seems like that extra height in the front makes it sexier and comfortable. I can wear them in the club for hours, in fashion shows or strut across campus in them.

I have B.C.B.G., Jessica Simpson, & Doll House platforms to name a few. From expensive to inexpensive they are a fashion staple.

I really want some Christian Louboutin platforms with the red bottom trademark which was chosen because one of his workers was painting her nails with a daring red paint. Some YSL tribute platforms...or some Giambasita Vali platforms...just about any platform can catch my eye.

My love of platforms started with the art and design of platforms and also how it makes my legs look longer and leaner. Platforms werent always about the look but more so about status. Venice in the 1600s, platforms were known as chopine's. ususaly worn to show status and were measured ot be up to 30in high. (platform diva). No matter how old platforms seem to be a style that is timeless and fun.

Girl your face is beat!!

Makeup has been apart of everyones life if you are into fashion.
on campus alot of girls try to do their makeup but sometimes the colors on their face is too dark or too light, or they use heavy eyeliner.
my mother is a professional makeup artist and i travel with her to her many fashion shows and usually get to participate whether it is putting on the makeup or walking in the fashion show.

for the fall makeup os supposed to be fresh and easy. a nude face with bronze or pink blush and a pink lip.
depending on your skin tone is the decision maker on what color makeup you are going to use.
yellow skin tones use brighter pinks and red skin tones use pink to almost red.

there has also been a transition from glossy to matte lips so if you want to experiement with the different fall looks consult your nearest MAC or Sephora artists, which are my two favorite make up stores. or you can contact Makeup By Niki (niki7413@msn.com)

Seriously??

The Swine Flu name has been changed to the politically correct H1N1 flu. Only because sales in pork has drastically dropped in the last couple of months.

This deadly if not treatable flu has spread to college campuses worldwide and has most students scared.

My best friend brought it to my attention that College Park's campus might be shut down because of the many cases that has been found and that Bowie State university has 50 known cases on their campus.

Alot of schools are also taking the initiative to fight back against the H1N1 virus since this fall semester is typically the flu season. Schools planning for the H1N1 virus means, to begin with, clearing storage space :
•surgical masks for patients who might become infected. •Advil •Tylenol •fever thermometers •Thousands of bottles of hand sanitizers.
is this enough to fight back against this virus?
are students going to take the proper precautions amongst themselves?

Well I know that i have seen some efforts at Morgan State, such as the properly placed hand sanitiser stations on campus. But is that enough?
