Ciao Bellas,
It was just brought to my attention via the news that Whitney Houston has passed away. Her voice was described as being one of the national treasures, she was most certainly an extremely gifted songstress and actress who will be extremely missed. My prayers go out to her family during this difficult time. RIP Whitney, we will always love you.

H&M Mini-Haul
Ciao Bellas,
As y'all may or may not know by now, H&M is one of my favorite stores ever. I've always been able to score a lot of great quality, well fitting, decently priced clothes and accessories there which is essential for a Bella on a budget. They're currently having a big sale, and a lot of their spring pieces are out so I did a mini haul over the last couple of weeks. Here's what I got...
These blue tweed shorts (which I talked about in my Brandy Tweed Short Suit Look for Less post), $29.95

| Back |
Denim romper, which was on sale for $15
A pair of denim boyfriend shorts, with a loose leg & loose waist fit. On sale for $7

The Look For Less: Brandy's Tweed Shorts Suit on Wendy Williams
Ciao Bellas,
I was watching The Wendy Williams Show last week (How you doin'?) and Brandy was on the show, with the cast of The Game. Brandy was rocking this really fierce blue tweed short suit, with red YSL pumps...and I've been looking for something comparable because I lovedd it. According to Style Me Prissy, Brandy is rocking the "Harare" Tweed Short Suit by Stella & Jamie with the shorts retailing for $229, and the Jacket for $349. As a Bella on a budget, that's not a very cost effective option for me (I'm just not ballin' like that, I will be one day, it just hasn't happened yet LOL) so the obvious solution was to try and recreate the look for less.
I went to H&M on Saturday, and I came across these sky blue tweed shorts (they're not exactly like Brandy's, but they're close enough for me) and I purchased them for $29.95. I couldn't find a jacket to go with it in the store, but I did find the matching jacket online for $49.95 so I'm going to have to either patiently wait for them to get it in at my local H&M or hunt it down at a different location. I intend on wearing the shorts with a white short sleeve V-Neck Tee, and silver wedges...once I get some lol.
So there you have it, that's my look for less remix on Brandy's outfit. If y'all have any particular looks from a celeb that you would like me to try and help you find lower budget options for, leave a comment below and I'll do my best. Once I get my hands on the jacket, I'll come back with pictures and whatnot. I did a couple of mini hauls at H&M recently as well, so I'll post that either later on tonight or tomorrow (they're having a sale, so it's a good time to find different pieces).

Real Talk: 11 Things I Learned in 2011
Ciao Bellas,
As the year winds down, I can't help but reflect on a lot of the experiences I had over the year...and what I've learned from them. So here it goes, 11 Things I Learned in 2011:
1) To give thanks to God daily. I've always been a thankful person, and I don't take stuff for granted...but I've learned to make it a habit to be extra thankful for everything in my life. Theres no such thing as a "small" blessing.
2) To always tell the people you love how you feel about them. My grandfather passed away a few days after thanksgiving, he lived in Africa so it's not like I could really go see him and stuff...but I had peace know that in the last conversation I had with him (before I knew anything was really wrong) that I told him that I loved him.
3) That letting stuff go and forgiving people is a process. It doesn't happen overnight, and sometimes old feelings can try and pop up...but once you deal with those emotions, and figure out WHY you feel that way, it helps you to move on.
4) That I CAN rock red lipstick =D
5) "A man's gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men." - Proverbs 18:16. Don't be afraid to step up and be who God called you to be.
6) How to properly adjust my eating and workout habits in a way that's healthy, totally balanced, easy to stick to, and doesn't deprive me of things that I love. #Lifestylechange
7) You can't always write people off because of your past experiences with them. It might be nessacary to take a break from them, and have some healthy space...but people do grow and change. You can't get upset if it's not at the same rate you do, or as fast as you'd like...but when they do finally do it, and they've CONSISTANTLY SHOWN (that part is key) you the change...don't hold their past stuff against them. Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.
8) "An apology without a change of actions, is nothing more than a formal excuse" - Jamal H Bryant. Amen to that.
9) That "things happen, people change, and life goes on". I can't remember where I read that quote, but it's so true. Sometimes we may feel like certain things or relationships will stay the same way forever...but that's not always true. And that's ok =)
10) That apparently guys do like girls in sweats, so I don't feel so bad about living in them for the past few months because I've been dancing non stop without a ton of time to change. Not that I'm going to make it a habit, but it is somewhat comforting.
11) That a guy and girl really can be just really good friends without anything going on, as long as both parties make their feelings on any sort of romantic stuff between them perfectly clear.
So there it is Bella's, 11 things that I learned in 2011. If you have anything you'd like to add or share on what you learned in 2011, leave it in a comment. Here's to an incredibly Happy and Blessed New Year!

Inside Ms. Fab's Closet: Red She Said
Ciao Bellas,
I was perusing around online in search of style inspiration, and I came across a picture of Rihanna in London rocking a plaid shirt and fur vest so I decided to put my spin on it. I've recently become a fan of red lips (thanks to a show I did last week, which the red clip in's are from as well) so I just kinda went RED with it. I should also note that the jeans are kind of a product of my handy work. They were regular distressed acid wash jeans from Dot's (by Sizzle), and I sprayed them down with a blackend silver glitter fabric paint spray (by Tulip), and then went through and sewed some rhinestone trim strips into the holes. Could I slowly be turning into a DIY diva? Only time will tell...
The Look:
Fur Vest - Target, last year
Plaid Shirt - H&M, last year
Distressed Acid Wash Jeans by Sizzle, Decorated by Moi - Dots
Nude BCBGirls Pumps - Burlington Coat Factoryish Store
Tan Bag - H&M, last winter
Red 14" Human Hair Clip In's - Sally Beauty $9.99
The Red Lips (just in case you wanted to know LOL):
Palladio Herbal Lip Liner in Red Rose - Sally Beauty $4.49
Ruby Kisses Color Design Lipstick in "RLS01 RED" - Local Beauty Supply Store
Ruby Kisses Crystal Gloss in "14 Hollywood" - Local Beauty Supply Store $2.49
Bonus side story about the red lipstick (cause y'all know I have a story for everything LOL):
I know that there's usually this whole formula to finding a perfect red lip for one's skin tone (in terms of undertones, blue based red v.s. yellow based red), and I wish I could say that's what I went with when I picked the above products out...but that's not what happened LOL. I was out shopping with my friend for my costume for our show, and I needed red lipstick to go with my costume so I pretty much picked up the 1st red lipstick I saw and then looked for a yellow based red gloss (I also put red glitter on top for the show btw). I didn't plan on wearing it again because I was never really a fan of BRIGHT lips on myself...but I fell in love with it so it's here to stay.

Merry Christmas
Ciao Bellas,
I'd like to wish y'all a very Merry & Blessed Christmas! Hopefully y'all are having a wonderful day, and enjoying time with your loved ones. I know I am, and I started my day out in one of the best ways possible: at Church. There was no other place I'd rather have been with my family on Sunday morning, which also happens to be Christmas (and I know that Jesus is the reason for the season). Here's to warm Christmas memories & never forgetting what it's all about.

Oops, I did it again
Ciao Bellas,
Once again I went M.I.A on y'all, and I'm soooo sorry. Things have just been crazy for me as I just finished working on a show that my friend and I co-directed and co-choreographed, party planning, studying, the holidays....and then a little after Thanksgiving my grandfather passed away so my life has been super duper busy to say the least. Things have settled down now, so I'm looking forward to blogging on the regular and avoiding more random inactivity.
On a different note, with Christmas right around the corner & the holiday season being in full swing I feel kind of weird admitting that I haven't even done my Christmas shopping yet =O (except for like 2 gifts for certain people that I exchanged gifts early with)...so I'ma be in full ninja shopping mode for the rest of the week and hopefully I'll be able to blog a couple of holiday looks that I intend on rocking to some holiday parties this weekend so stay tuned!

I've Been Dazzled: ShoeDazzle Review
Ciao Bellas,
Ok I admit it, I've been holding out on y'all. Last month I became a member of ShoeDazzle, and I've been hooked ever since. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the company, it's sort of like a monthly shoe club (which is affiliated with Kim Kardashian, and Kim serves as the chief fashion stylist) where you can purchase shoes, handbags, or jewellery sets for a total $39.95 (Per item. Including tax, and standard shipping).
The Details:
Essentially what you do is take a style quiz, and you're shown pictures of different shoes, celebs, and brands. Then you have to select the ones that are closest to reflecting your personal style. After this one of the ShoeDazzle stylists will put together a showroom for you which will include shoes, handbags, and jewellery sets which will be available in your showroom soon after (and as new products are available, the stylists pick and choose some to add to your showroom according to the results from your quiz).
New stuff is added on the 1st of the month (and special shoes come out during the month sometimes. A collection benefiting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation comes out next month, featuring pink items), and you do have the option to skip a month if you don't want to purchase anything (which you can do as often as you want)...you just need to do it between the 1st and 5th of that month, as they will charge you the $39.95 on the 6th and you'll receive a credit good for any one item on the website. Taking the survey and getting your showroom put together is free, and they don't begin to charge you until after you make your first purchase. Just a heads up. You also get 20% off your 1st order, if your a 1st time customer. A good way to give ShoeDazzle a try, would be searching around on Groupon, and purchasing a $19 ShoeDazzle Groupon (and no, you don't have to live in the city listed on the groupon in order to purchase or use it). Those are only good for new ShoeDazzle members making their very first purchase though (and I don't think you get style points for that...or at least, I didn't when I used my groupon). For more info on how to use a ShoeDazzle Groupon, check out this post on Shoes and Jules.
For every item you purchase, you recieve 100 style points and if a friend you refer to ShoeDazzle signs up using your link and makes a purchase you get 200 style points. When you accumulate 1,000 style points you get a free credit good for any item on ShoeDazzle. They also have "DazzleDeals" on Tuesday and Thursday featuring items like luggage sets, PJ's, lingerie, skincare stuff, makeup sets, and more for $39.95.
What I've Bought So Far...
I've purchased 3 things from Shoedazzle (I've also got my eye on a few other things) which I've found to be of really good quality, and quite dazzling if I do say so myself =)
My 1st purchase (using my $19 Groupon) was a pair of "Rocket" Sequin Zebra Print High Top Sneakers by Rock & Candy. I found that they run pretty true to size, and they're reallllly comfy. They came with shoe bags as you can see, and they have a zipper on the side so I can get in and out of them with ease. I'm not even really a sneaker girl Bella's, but I loveeee these. And they match my Zebra Print Messenger Bag that I got on sale for $7 at H&M =)
2nd Purchase: Mel. B Pumps. Once in awhile ShoeDazzle has a celebrity design a shoe and the profits go to charity (the next pair come out on the 23rd I think, and they were designed by Carson Kressley). These were designed by Mel. B of the Spice Girls, and they've been selling out left and right (so if you get a chance to buy a pair, JUMP on it). According to the website, 100% of the profits from these shoes go to the Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. They do run a little small, so I had to go a size up (well, I would have gone half a size up...but I'm a 10...and there are no 10 1/2's so an 11 had to do. With a pair of Dr. Scholl's For Her insoles in there, I should be fine). These shoes are absolutely beauuuuuutiful. Fly, fierce, fabulous, I'm just in love with them. Too bad I can't wear them anytime soon because I have tendinitis in my knee, but as soon as I can I'm rocking these.
The rhinestones on the heel aren't like sealed though, so I heard that theres a little trick of painting over them with Mod Podge to seal them so that the stones don't fall out...and letting it like cure for a week. Which I shall do, once I get some time to go to the craft store. I'll report back with my results.
3rd Purchase: Cleary Riding Boots. I've been on the lookout for some shiny flat black boots foreverrr, and these definitely fit the bill. While they aren't like patent, they do give off a subtle sheen, fit true to size, and are quite comfy. All while giving off a bit of equestrian vibe.
So there you have it Bella's, my ShoeDazzle review and a look at some of the products that have gotten me hooked lol. I'd definitely recommend that you check ShoeDazzle out, as they've got some realllly cute things for decent prices which makes this savvy shopper incredibly happy. I've officially been Dazzled.

Ciao Bellas,
Varsity jackets and sweaters are a huge trend for fall, and I'm really feeling it. While I was technically on a team back in the day (gymnastics), we didn't have varsity jackets and whatnot...so this is about as close to a letterman as I'll probably get lol.
The Look:
Varsity Jacket - $24.50 @ Wet Seal
White Top - Under $5 @ Forever 21
Distressed Jeans by Sizzle - About $26 at Dots
Plaid Harajuku Lovers Purse - $29.99 @ Marshalls
Bordeaux BCBGirls "Edith" Pumps - $39.99 @ a store similar to Burlington Coat Factory

Hair Care: APL & Twistouts
Ciao Bellas,
As y'all know, I've been on a healthy haircare journey and I'm working on growing my hair out to MBL (Mid Back Length). For the most part I've been wearing my hair up in a bun (protective styling), using very little heat, and trying to keep my hair super moisturized...I recently got tired of the whole bun deal, so I decided to start wearing my hair down more often.
I'm just about APL (Arm Pit Length)...not full APL though, because my hair is layered. It should be noted that this picture was taken about a week or so after I had it flat ironed, and I was about 6 weeks post at the time. I'm not really due for another relaxer till November (I relax just about every 3 months).
Last night after a not so great experience with using Lottabody setting lotion on Wednesday, I decided to wash my hair and try a twistout for the first time (I usually do them for my sister, I've never tried it on myself). After I washed my hair, I used Creme of Nature's Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner, Creme of Nature's Argan Oil Foaming Wrap Lotion, and Creme of Nature's Argan Oil Gloss & Shine Polisher. I combed the products through my hair with my Plugged In Wet Look Shower Comb, and ran a little bit of the Creme of Nature Argan Oil Treatment (not pictured) through my hair right before I twisted it.
I allowed my hair to air dry for a little while, and then twisted it while it was still damp. I took it down today, and this was the result...
I used a tiny bit of aloe vera gel in the front of my hair to slick down my edges, but other that I didn't really mess with anything too much. I just untwisted my hair, and ran some Hot Six Oil through it (I will be moisturizing and sealing my hair on a nightly basis btw). Not too shabby if I don't say so myself. I rocked it to school and whatnot, and I think it's a pretty simple look that'll be easy for me to do before I rush off to class in the mornings.
I try to avoid doing a lot of heat styling (read: flat ironing), so I plan on doing a lot of heat free styles (twist outs, braid outs, roller sets, etc) and flat ironing my hair about once a month. I have to be really careful, because my hair is double processed (relaxed and highlighted). I must say I'm really looking forward to experimenting with more styles, I'm on the grow Bella's! =)
