LMAO @ them talking about shopping for hours with their moms... I know my daughter is going to go thru it! :)


I'll leave this post off with some real talk from an 11 yr old.

"You can't hate on somebody else life!!!! Just worry about ya own life! Get ya life straight!!!

(maaaannnnn I'm telling you I know chicks 3 times her age that don't get that simple concept!)

Quote This

I wrote these words on my facebook status about a month back but felt the need to re-visit these sentiments this morning:

The grass is defintely NOT always greener on the otherside. Most times our very own garden is perfect AFTER we do some weeding! First, cut the grass really low, so that you can see the garden snakes. When you spot them don't just let them get away with ruining your lawn... toss the suckers out! Most of us have a hard time doing that last part (slippery suckers) but I've learned that the sooner you do that, the more time you have to enjoy how beautiful your landscape becomes without them! :)

~ Chedda

-----------------------------------
The moral of the story is... NEVER envy others and always have your eyes open to the people/emotions you allow into your inner space!! People tend to put up a front like life is great on their side of the fence. And I'm not saying that it's always a front. We ALL have issues that we need to address. Whether it's a backstabbing friend or a more internal conflict like low self esteem. Whatever the case don't assume that trying to be like someone else or wanting what someone else has is the solution. Look within your own space to find peace. What can you do to improve YOU!?! Once you tend to your own garden it will begin to flourish! You needn't look any further! Read more!

Take my word for it when I say the food at Tao is great!! (You guys remember how I ranted about it in the Vegas post lol)

We only ordered sushi this time and the Salmon rolls were my favorite!

I was so caught up in the moment and our awesome conversation that I didn't get to snap any pics for you guys. Sorry! But I did remember to flash the chocolate fortune cookies that we got before we left! I don't know if they had special Valentine's Day fortunes inside but mine was pretty wak!.... all it said was "Honey, I want a hug"! Or maybe that just means that I already have everything else that I need!!! ;)

Lata lovers!

Boxing Kitten = A Fashion Carnival!!!

Recently I've been in a bit of a slump over not being abe to accompany my mother, brother, sister-in-law, grandmother and countless friends to Trinidad for our annual Carnival festivities that are taking place as I type!!!!! >:(

I truly had my hopes up for making this year - 2010 Carnival- a huge deal. Like a big family reunion with everyone squeezing into my mother's house in Arouca Gardens, with endless noise and laughter for about a week straight.

Well..... those dreams quickly faded as reality set in and I realized that the festivities would be happening without me this year.

But I sorta feel like my longing to participate in Carnival was somehow manifested in the video treatment for Alicia Keys & Beyonce's new single "Put It In a Love Song".

These divas decided to have a Carnival themed video with lots of bright colors, bold prints and fun in the Brazilian sun!


When I saw the outfits that my girls were rocking in the video I couldn't help but cheer up a bit!

Check these out:

pretty in purple!! gorgeous in green!!

So of course I had to do some investigating into who was responsible for these visual delicacies and I found out that a talented Go-Getter Girl by the name of Mya Lake creates these bold one of a kind garments that "motivate the spirit".

Her line is called Boxing Kitten and you can take a look at more of her work on her website!

Here are some of our favorite trend setting celebrities rocking Mya's designs: Fergie, Fatima, Beyonce & Eryka Badu

DJ Rasheeda, Solonge & Beyonce

DJ Rasheeda is actually a good friend of Mya's and has been rocking her designs for quite some time now!

Seems like the perfect attire for this concrete jungle we live in!

In Mya's own words:

"If you take the patterns and very feminine silhouettes of women from the Civil Rights and then put those dresses in African inspired prints and fabric then you have the Boxing Kitten woman"!

I am in LOVE with this stuff. Gotta get my hands on some NOW!! ((working on it))

p.s. remember when a little birdy did a blog on the Christian Louboutins that were sure to be one of the hottest pair this spring/summer: Get into Alicia's shoes in this flick!

TOLD YA SO!! :p

Sweeeeeeet!!!!!

So this past Friday my girlfriend Clarissa and I stopped into Henri Bendel to the MAC counter for some free make-up consulations (offered for a limited time). While there I noticed that the legendary boutique had made some changes since my last visit. The most noticable change was that they will no longer be selling clothing. Crazy right!! I know.... from here on out they will only have accessories (of the best quality of course) as well as the many peices offered in their signature line.

SB: they just came out with a Hendri Bendel perfume line that is awesome!

Nonetheless in the season of Valentines day there were the cutest candy dresses on display. Of course I had to snap some fliks on the blackberry so I could share these with you guys.

Check them out:

Sweet tarts & Marshmellows!!! YUM!
Rock candy!!

Sweeeeeeeeeet! lol

Not all the dresses were made from sweets... saome were just really creative and cool shapes made from the most unimaginable items.

Buttons & Rolls of Thread

Playing cards
This dress made from hair rollers was the best to me! :)
awesome!!

This dress made of feathers is super hot too!!

Whoever the creative minds are that came up with this is genius!! I would totally rock any of these dresses in a heartbeat! lol. Seriously!! (okay in some more practical materials of course)
