Rasoir Sharp Vision

So I was snapping pics for my new magazine posts and I kept coming across these unique sunglasses by Miu Miu and after some research I found out they are called "Rasoir Sunglasses". Looking up the definition of rasoir I interpreted it as razor sharp sunglasses because the bottom is cut off and looks sharp like a razor. As far as I know Miu Miu is the only one making glasses like these but if I am wrong or if anyone has more info please let me know!!!











Artist Showcase: Skyline Force

Ok second show case of the day is an artist that goes by Skyline Force, but I just call him Romeo lol. I've known him for years now so I can say I personally known him when he blows up and gets big lol!!! But he's a great and amazing artist who's very talented and that's why he is in our sector artist showcase. He started making music in 2012 under the name Skyline Force, and yes it is just him, it's not a band, just like Travis Porter is 3 dudes and not just one. I would compare his music to every genre mostly to be quite honest and he even says that his music is so unique that it's constantly changing. His influences are Daft Punk, Zomboy, Excision, and many more just to name a few, and his message to his audience is to be yourself, unique, and one of a kind. Again this is a very talented artist and I'm happy to know him as such, and I hope you guys get that pleasure too. Go ahead and check him out on the links below and please show your support!!!!!

Artist Showcase: Monea Tranea

Hey guys, so as I said before I'm going to be doing artist showcases. No matter what the artist is, whether a photographer, clothing designer, makeup artist, rapper, singer, poet, we are all creative artists in some way shape or form and I have no problem helping someone get the exposure they deserve.
So with that being said, I am kicking things off with my first artist showcase, Monea Tranea. I actually came across her business page because one of my old friends recommended her custom phone cases. And I must say the recommendation lives up to the product and just the vibe of the business. Her business is called "Glam Pixi" and she makes, by hand at that, custom phone cases, accessories, and brooch bouquets. The prices are reasonable in my eyes, because she hand makes everything herself, by hand, and actually gives a great turn around time, at least for the phone cases, I haven't ordered anything else yet! Her phone cases are between $25-$100 and have about at the max a week turn around time. Her brooch bouquets are between $30-$500, and again I don't know the turn around time for that because I haven't ordered anything but trust when it gets that time I will be calling her lol! She also has a online boutique called "My Curvez Boutique" that features some very fashionable clothing between $10-$80. I highly recommend going to check her out, she's just a sweet person in general, and she makes quality products, even though I switched phones, I still have my phone case, and after 1 year only a a few little gems fell off, and with that she will replace them for FREE! That's what I call great customer service and you guys know I'm big on that. So check out her links below and I hike suggest purchasing something because you won't be disappointed!!!

Videos from Stl Fashion Week 2013

Hey guys I forgot I had these videos from St Louis Fashion Week 2013 so here you go!






Men + Women's Uggs = HELL NO!

Ok I refuse to sit here and act like it's ok that all f these men are walking around in women's Uggs. It's not ok!!!!!!!! Unless you are trying to go for "that look" it's not sexy, it's not attractive, and it's not fashionable. But hey, if you think this is fashion, let me have it and tell me what you think!









Men + pea coats = Thumbs Up

So I want to go ahead and get the winter posts out the way since we are clearly in the summer time now. But just a topic I wanted to talk about is men and pea coats, someone told me that was gay. THAT IS NEGATIVE. I think a man in a pea coat shows his sexiness, shows his grown man side, and shows a more mature look. So I just grabbed some pics of some typical pea coats for men, and I want you guys to tell me what you think, do you give men pea coats a thumbs up or down?









ATTENTION ALL BIG FOOTED WOMEN

Ok I am doing this post not only for me but for all of my big footed women out there who need some tricks on how to make their foot appear smaller.  I currently wear an 11, and I'm only 5'4, I use to wear a 10 but still that's too freaking big.  And I have no arch so my feet look like boats when I walk, yea embarrassing.  So I researched online and I came across this site called "Stana's Femulate", and it's topics on how to make the woman's body not so "mannish", yea I still don't get that but the tips that were on the website I think would be helpful:

"1. Opened back shoes like mules or clogs give the impression is that your foot is only as long as the clog.

"2. Medium vamps are best. Short vamps can expose too much skin; long vamps (especially those up to the ankle) give you Frankenfeet.

"3. At least an inch heel.

"4. Arch support if you have flat feet...reduces the boat effect.

"5. Shoes with seams, straps or details that run crosswise can help the foot look wider and shorter.

"6. Pointed toe shoes not only look longer, but they also actually add some length to your foot (but if you have shapely, willowy legs ala Nicole Kidman go for it...no one will be looking at your feet!). Rounded toes are best...square toes can be okay too.

If you want to check out the website more here is the link:

And also if anyone has any other tricks PLEASE for heaven sakes post them, this is a serious issue that needs a solution!!!!!!!

Makeup: What's All The Hype About Mineral Makeup?

Hello all!!!! First I want to apologize for being M.I.A. I have been busy out the ass with everything that I have going on, but now be expecting multiple posts at least once a week, that way I don't bog myself down trying to do a post every day, and be looking out for them 9/10 on Sundays.

So to start this explosion of posts off, I want to talk about a new trend within the makeup world, which is mineral makeup.  I personally love it for 2 reasons, you can always achieve the natural look with it, but also you can have that dramatic look without piling on toxins, and more toxins that most makeup is made out of today.  But what is mineral makeup made out of?

To make it plain and simple they are made out of different minerals such as Titanium dioxide, Bismuth Oxychloride, Kaolin Clay, Zinc Oxide, and Serecite.  Along with a few other minerals and you create your makeup.  Each of these minerals plays an essential role, for example Titanium dioxide and Zinc Oxide provide sunscreen properties to protect delicate facial skin from the sun’s damaging rays, where as Zinc Oxide also acts as an anti-inflammatory.  Again I personally love mineral makeup because my skin is VERY sensitive.  I have eczema really bad and once the weather changes my face does too, and piling on tons of makeup doesn't help, but mineral makeup allows me to again, achieve that natural look, cover up some flaws, and also is good for my skin.

A lot of companies are starting to get into the mineral makeup business such as Bare Minerals, Urban Decay, ELF Cosmetics, Sephora, etc, but you can also make your own mineral makeup at home.  There are many DIY sites that give you the list of the tools and minerals you will need to order, and then step by step instructions on how to make your makeup, any where from foundation to eye shadow, even lip gloss and lip stick, and these minerals are pretty cheap because you are buying them wholesale.  I know this because I am starting a mineral makeup business online, and you guys will be the first to know when the shop opens up!!!!

Here's a tutorial from Youtube on how to make your own foundation:

So let me know what you think?  Does mineral makeup get a thumbs up or a thumbs down?  Also if anyone has any other tutorials on how to make some mineral makeup please share!!!!
