Southern Chic Shopaholic

I don't know if everyone knows how much I adore Denzel so I am a little one sided regarding him but I will be as diplomatic as I can . It is hard not to make a good comment about such a accomplished and gorgeous :) actor . The story line in so many words was about Frank Lucas a southern man who moved to Harlem and was the ultimate hustler .Frank was incredibly intelligent . In the movie Frank began as the driver for Bumpy Johnson (who was featured in the movie Hoodlum with Lawrence Fishburne ) . Bumpy ran the streets of Harlem and taught Frank everything that he knew regarding the streets . After Bumpy dies Frank comes up with this great idea of cutting out the middle man and becoming the main supplier of Heroin and ultimately only supplier in NY. Frank embodied a lot of qualities that would help out our young black men these days even though he dealt drugs his aesthetic was very different , he was totally against flash often times because of his outer appearance he flew ...

Sorry it has taken me two days to re post , I have been really tired lately . The changing of the seasons is really taken an effect on me . I'm better now , back to blogging :). The Hills was a disappointment the big reunion with Brody and Spencer was not what was expected , they didn't even talk . On the show it was Fashion week , Lauren and Whitney went to NY to visit Amy regarding the young Hollywood party . While Whitney was nervous because she had to present her presentation for the setup of the Teen Vogue runway , Lauren was busy helping Marc Jacobs in preparation for his Fashion Show. Whitney did quite well while presenting and Lauren actually got to meet Marc Jacobs which was great . I love Marc Jacobs , I think that he is one of the most influential designers of our time and he has made Louis Vuitton a better brand , if that is possible ;as well as perfecting his own clothing line . So meeting Marc Jacobs was the highlight of Laurens trip while Whitney was worri...

I hope everyone is having a better Monday than me , at this point I feel like I will go home go to bed wake up and start all over again lol. The good news for me is I will be previewing American Gangster tonight and tomorrow I will give my movie review as well as my recap and comments on the The Hills Spencer and Brody reunion ??? Whatever lol. As always be safe and God Bless.

Hi Everyone , Here is the second part to my post . On the last post I featured some more affordable items , all the items listed were less than $100.00 . Now I will feature more expensive items some of these in which the average person might have to save up to afford , I know I would , either that or that would be my only shopping purchase. I know I can say that if you are a obsessive shopper like me everyone has given themselves the you get what you pay for speech to justify a major purchase well these are those purchases . Maybe to the other readers who wouldn't spend this much on one item I suggest that you get an idea of the coat that you are looking for and try to find a cheaper alternative as you saw on the last post they are out there. The only difference between these coats and cheaper ones could be the fabric i.e. type of wool , buttons , hood vrs no hood , fur vrs no fur , so the details sometimes can be very small. Here are three of my picks from http://www.shopbop.c...

Since fall crept up on us in the south and even though the weather seems very unconvincing; It still is fall and it is time to get your jacket/coat game up lol . In Georgia especially middle GA we rarely utilize coats , we mostly live in jackets . I love the winter time but we don't have a winter really we just have a long summer and a brisk fall , maybe around January and February it gets a little chilly like in the 40's or 50's but it rarely gets colder than that. This makes jackets very important. I am going to feature both for my northern visitors and plus I love coats too , just bc it doesn't get that cold doesn't mean I don't upgrade my coat game for winter. I have already started with a black trench, 2 knee length swing coats, and a wool pea coat and I have tons of blazers from last year a blazer is so classic that it never goes out of style and if you buy a good one you can have it forever. So if you are not that into fashion or you don't hav...

Hi Everyone, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend as did I , but they never last long enough. I actually did a little weekend shopping at Old Navy . They have some really cute sweaters and cardigans for fall. I went to the movies finally to see Why Did I Get Married? so I missed the game and cant give my comments on that ,I will have to watch it tomorrow and add it to tomorrows post bc you know I am team Melanie representing lol . The movie was wonderful , I am not usually a fan of plays turned movies bc the movies just repeat the play. but Tyler Perry did a wonderful job and the movie was great , I went with my boyfriend and he enjoyed it also so its not just a chic flick. It was very funny as well as spiritual and uplifting ;the messages in the movie hit home to any couple . Overall it was a great date movie we both really liked it and I would see it again. On a grading system from A-F . I give the movie an A+ a must see . A great representation of black successful colleg...

Ok first off I will start by saying that I love jeans and they are a staple in my wardrobe , as I mentioned earlier it is hard for me to find jeans that fit perfectly because I have the issues that most black women have a smaller waist and larger hips with a bigger bottom. My jeans always seemed to gap in the back and were too long in the crouch area. What I have noticed is that jeans fit my body type better with 1 or 2 percent spandex this will alleviate the gap and also make for a better fit. I complain about finding jeans for my body type but I wouldn't change it , this post is to teach women how to amplify it with the correct jean. Some tips for the perfect jean when you are pear shaped (which means larger on bottom than top) ; always look for 1 or 2 percent spandex a darker wash is always best, more sophisticated and never goes out of style never get a low or ultra low rise always go for just below the waist or regular fit Don't believe the myth that hipper women look...

I am currently working on my jean post . Will post again tomorrow :)

Here is my third fall fashion installment of what Sibbonai is feeling right now and I am really feeling dresses. The top two dresses are from www.torrid.com which I love two things I am feeling right now are grey and a really hot houndstooth fabric and we see both of these .I just want to let ladies know just because you aren't model size doesn't mean you cant be fly bc I am a size 14-16 and I stay fresh lol . I am working on getting daily or weekly posts of my outfits to help my thick sisters get some ideas hopefully I will start that next week. These two dresses are from my favorite site right now www.asos.com , this site is a must visit whether you are looking for a unique pair of heels or a great outfit this site is the place to visit. Sequins are really in now and so is a feminine flair and that is what these two dresses embody. The turquoise and yellow chiffon dress is from a fashion staple forever 21 . I love forever 21 a great place to get designer knockoffs f...

Ok here is my second part to my fall fashion picks. I am a lover of buttons and bows so anything with big buttons and bows is a must have for me . The two online sites featured in this post are http://www.lulusfashionlounge.com/ and this wonderful site that I live by that is my new obsession which is http://www.asos.com/ they have wonderful gorgeous clothing that's a little pricey but it is very unique and hip. They also sell shoes and accessories and their shoes are hot and different. Its a must visit website. Back to fall , I am feeling ruffles , satin , bows, sequins, buttons, anything feminine , as well as tunics with bright colors , anything purple and royal blue .

Sorry it has taken so long for me to finish my 3 day post on fall fashion . I have been unbelievably busy lately with work and I also went home to visit Mississippi to visit family , I had so much fun. I also stopped by Steve and Barry's to fulfill my Bitten by Sarah Jessica Parker obsession , I love her line it so chic and hip . I bought a great peacoat for 19.98 a wool peacoat at that . I would recommend her line to anyone who loves clothes and who likes trendy clothes because her clothes are so reasonable that you can by trendy and not feel bad about it next season when the trends change . I absolutely love her line I always have to travel to because there is no Steve and Barry's close to me the closest one is in Athens which is 2 hours away. I was like a child at Christmas as I piled my purchases in the buggy lol . Now that I have gotten my weekend shopping fix , here is the next installation of my three day fashion picks for fall. Happy Monday :).... Thanks for you...

Hi Everyone, I am doing a three day post on my favorite things right now and I am starting with Shoes.I am a shoe freak I have around 200 pair or so .My favorite brands are Steve Madden , Nine West, Oh deer, Aldo , Jessica Simpson , and BCBG. My favorite types of shoes are pumps , I love a heel . Right now I am really loving a platform and also a the thick wooden heels . Here are a few pairs that I have found that I am in love with: (the brands are Aldo , Nine West, Michael Antonio , and Oh Deer)

Ok , I know this is my obsession along with millions of others but , I absolutely am in love with the hills and the style of all three of the ladies . I am apart of the we hate heidi and spencer club also because I am partial to Lauren , I have loved Lauren ever since Laguna Beach . I especially love the ladies style . Lauren has more of a sweet sofisticated style that includes lots of dresses, Audrina has a sexier style with an edge with more jeans , and Whitney to me has the most all around complete fashion sense and style that includes dresses , jeans , skirts , different colors , patterns , you name it she will wear it . I am more partial to Whitney , because I love mixing it up also.
