Ok, so I’ve decided that the cute find of the day can be anything really, not only limited to items of clothing, but things that make us look our stylish and fashionable best. And with this I’m raving about my new everyday lotion I just bought. Because 1st, I’m ultra sensitive to scents and fragrances. I have to use products that don’t have a strong overwhelming scent. I usually use a lot of natural oils instead of perfumes and colognes. And 2nd, I have really dry skin.
And through the years as a child, adolescent and as a young adult I’ve experimented and changed my lotion so many times I could be a walking research lab. But Alas, I’ve found one lotion that actually works and doesn’t knock me out with the smell: Jergens Ultra Healing. It’s soft, without being slippery and you don’t feel like you have a second skin on. So if you’re like me, you know what to do.
Oh, and its really cheap, like $5 a 10once bottle!
Love, peace and ashyness no more!

Sorry this is the best pic I could find( its kinda blurry I know)

As Milan fashion week rolls on and I seem loose more and more interest in high fashion, here are my takes (hits) at some of my favorite design houses. As an aside another reason why I love thrift store and bargain shopping, all you need is time and patience to shift through all the crap to find some old masterpiece, because all fashion today is, is what was fashion yesterday, just slight altered, and I sure can do the alteration myself.
MISSONI:






This seasons showing of Missoni reminds me so much of that movie The Aviator where Leonardo DiCaprio played that guy who loved planes and Cate Blanchet one of his hotties , don’t you think?
DSquared:





It’s like being on a voyage of Star Trek with Victoria Secret models: Sexy yet frightening.
ICEBERG:
I really thought they were just about over the top embellished jeans and winter jackets, but I should have known from their recent marketing campaign with Naomi Campbell, that some changes are occurring, who knew they made such sexy dresses?

Tags: Pashmina Shawl, scarves


I saw these Pashmina Shawl on Amazon, of all places, but if you can nab them on the streets of NYC, so i thought “why not Amazon”, they are becoming known for more than just books you know( check out their shoe store- wow). I have about 20 shawls, compliements of a good freind of mine who buys them from India and re-sells them. I recommend them if you live any place thats really cold, like NYC or Paris. They are thin yet surprisingly warm! and can be a colorful peice to your winter wardrobe. They’re on sale for 15-20 bucks a pop at Amazon.com

Ms. Badu is gracing the cover of TRACE magazine “Uncommon Music”. I can’t wait to read what she’s been up to, its been a while since she released an album. I need some of her crooning on my i-pod. I’m really getting tired of listening to “call tyrone” which by the way was my jam back in the days of Maxwell and D’angelo!…Alas, i’m still waiting for a comeback, and I’m sure it’ll be nothing less than unexpectable unique sultry sounds, that’ll make you either think she’s crazy, gifted or both.
The issue also includes interviews with John Legend and my girl, Tracee Ellis Ross.
