So, if I had a famous sister who would it be???

So over that past ten years (since Love and Basketball hit theatres) I constantly hear I look like Sanaa Lathan. I think she is very beautiful and I am always flattered when I hear it but I really don't see it!!! Even looking at this side by side comparison, I still don't see it. Maybe I'm crazy, well maybe just a little lol. 

I've also gotten that I looked like Tamyra Grey from American Idol. This I still don't see but then again maybe something is wrong with me. So about 8 or 9 years ago I was doing a photoshoot at a hotel and these kids came up to me and said "Are you Tamyra Grey?" I was shocked to say the least. But it was cool to feel like a celebrity for .2 seconds :)

Ok, so this is one of the comparisons I get the least but still get often enough. Again another very beautiful black woman but I don't see a resemblance. It is very nice to know that I can look like so many people though. Especially successful, intelligent, beautiful black women.

What Do You Think????

OOTD/outfit.of.the.day

Finally summer decides to get here and stay for the season :) Ok my narcissism was on 10 today. Nothing like feelin' good in your threads! I wish I could say I felt this everyday but truth be told everyone has those days when they may not feel so hot. I like to keep my style pretty simple but cute. So check it, I have on a ruffled floral print skirt (red,white and yellow flowers) with a solid heather grey tank (tanks are my fav for the summer btw) and I figured I would add a layer with my brown vest. I felt like accessorizing with my multiple chain necklace from Bakers Shoes last year and simple gold ball earrings to match. Went with comfy flats with gold embellishments. I loved it, hope you do too.

Fake it Til You Bake it

Ok I wasn't sure if I should give away my secret. I might be exposing too much lol. But I trust you won't tell anyone haha. So with summer coming I'm exposing more skin. I put a pair of shorts on a couple of weeks ago and was looking at my legs and arms like "woooooow, why am I looking so yellow?!" Leave it up to me I'm going to find a solution no matter how extreme it may seem. Well this of course isn't on the extreme side for most. Ok back on track I needed something fairly quick before I was exposing my legs on a regular basis. I decided to try Jergen's Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer. Love Love Love this product. It's been about 10 days that I've been using it daily and it is great!!!! It's a nice gradual tan that doesn't leave me looking super orange. Now I know I'm a black girl but as you may know we come in all shades and there is nothing wrong with wanting a more even tone. Well if you're like me and can't get in the sun as often as you like try this product. P.S. I recommend exfoliating prior to using for a smoother look :) And don't forget your sunscreen!!!

Hip Hop Heads

For all my music lovers who are open to that feel good hiphop music please check this out. A friend of mine put me on to a new artist by the name of Lano from Baltimore, MD. Yeah Lano! He just dropped his mixtape on June 12th and the kid is Dope with a captial D!!! Corny am I, Yes! lol But no question, Lano's mixtape is fresh. Young, tatted and sexy with charisma on 1000. Don't worry girls he's got something for the ladies too. One of my favs being "One Word". Not only does he rap but has a decent singing voice to go with it. An artist who can infuse sexiness with that street sound gets a 10 from me. Listening to his music you can definitely tell he has an appreciation for all types of music. First track has a sample from Sade's "War of the Hearts" also a sample from The Moments "Not on the Outside" from 1968. Now maybe I'm being bias because Sade is the greatest artist ever!!! (my blog my opinion lol), needless to say he pulled me in. He's got a fresh sound with just enough cockiness that doesn't turn you off. This mixtape shows many facets to his personality. You can feel the flow is genuine with every bar. As soon as I heard his music I was pulled in to learn more about him. Do yourself a favor, check him out too and support@ www.yeahlano.blogspot.com....Enjoy and always stay CREATIVE!!!!!

OOTD/outfit.of.the.day

Hey, here is my fit for today. It's a whopping 76 degrees here in Jersey so I'm feeling like some good ol' layering. I can't wait for the weather to make up its mind. I just have some basic straight legged jeans that I cuffed up twice with a novelty tank and a button down 3/4 length sleeve shirt. Very comfy. Didn't go crazy with jewelry. Kept it simple with cubic z studs. In the pic I'm not wearing shoes b/c I'm chillin in the house BUT to complete the outfit I'm going to wear these cute burgundy Converse sneaks. Now, to give it a more grown and sexy appeal but with comfort I'll put on my tan wedges, hope you like. And always wear what YOU like!!!
