Blueberry muffins..

are the only things that are allowed to ooze out of the top of a muffin, meaning, your clothes should always fit you well. I jumped out of bed this morning and noticed how flattering my pjs were. Everything looked smooth, curves were in the right places. I almost wished I could wear them out today. I then flashed back to my jeans of yesterday... can you say THE WRONG DAMN SIZE! When buying clothes, no matter what you're wearing, size, fit, cut & style all play a huge role. Buy what flatters you- not just your tag size... however... some things are too damn cute to pass up. Can you say a skintight dress?


I was supposed to go to the Daytime Emmys this week- I was nominated y'all! But... I ain'y gonna make it. If I was... this is the dress. Flapper inspired, fringed plus those white panels give me some much appreciated curves. Its the Pency Popular Sweetheart Fringed Tube (that's a mouthful!) at Singer22.com for $475. Yes- big pricetag but its for Emmys!!!

Here's the most important thing... your clothes should always fit the right way! Lady lumps can be sexy if you smooth them out. With this, you can call your lumps curves

God bless the folks at Spanx! This is the Slim Cognito Shape Suit (best $98 you'll spend at Spanx.com). If you got a bit of thigh rub- this will get it. Your lumps a little too lumpy- this suit will take care of you. I love that the legs are just long enough to tame the baby thigh but short enough to still shut things down. BUY ONE NOW!

Since this is my "if I were going to The Daytime Emmys.. but I'm not" fantasy outfit, brace yourself...

I don't have to tell you what these are.. Pigale- $575 net-a-porter.com. I would get my statue & shut the building down in this look. Check you next year Daytime Emmys...

When I grow up...

I've pretty much always knew I loved fashion. When I was a kid, I dreamed of becoming a fashion designer & used to make "leather clothes" from busted balloons for my Barbies. Granted since it was the 80's and the Mary Jane Girls were my inspiration, I knew I had a gift. I still have lots of style growing-up to do and like most things, if you want to be better, you get a mentor, I've picked mine.



Brea Stinson, fashion stylist, designer and personality......sorta like a gateway to all things FRESH (and this is the truth) is who I want to be when I grown up.

Bamboo Earrings, at least 2 pair...

Hi all!

I need to give my CurrentElliott Jeans from Chickdowntown away! I need you guys to add me on Twitter so I can pick who's gonna get some fly jeans to wear with their fall boots!! Get to Tweetin'!

On a bad hair day/ bad clothes day/ bad day period, some fab accessories can change your mood. I'm a huge fan of putting on a whole arm full of bracelets & some fancy earring when I'm feeling... blah. No one knows I'm feeling like someone stole my bike when I'm wearing these-



Amber (I ADORE HER NAME), owner of POParazzi, has created some amazing earrings that will add some fancy to your lobes. I'd seen them around the city on a few fly chicks & needed a pair for myself. So as fate works, we share a mutual friend & the rest is earring history!


This is a beautiful picture with even more gorgeous earrings!


I love these! You can go way sexy & glam yourself up or on one of those days, make yourself feel good in them.


These are absolutely amazing! Think bare, shiny shoulders & these... there's only a few more days of Summer left so it only makes sense to buy them now!

Visit Poparazzice.com & get some!!! Trust me... Amber will have you happy round the ears!

Drum Roll Please...

We got a Winner....!!! Stay tuned...

Come this way...

I'm pretty anxious to give away those jeans but I can't until I have a bunch of tweets... add me on Twitter!

Today's kinda busy but I was jonesing to share something really hot with you guys. Earrings and bracelets are great accessories but you gotta bring it forward. Look at this...











Now you can't say these aren't cute as hell?! I've ordered the purple feathered hat & the one with the mum. You can rock them on a tank & cute jeans day or when you're trying to stop traffic in something fancy. An up & coming, super talented designer slash stylist Alela Sirah produces these. She also has a YouTube channel that I check out often- check her out & get a hat!

Those jeans could be yours this week! Tweet me babay!
