Cleveland School of the Arts Talent & Fashion Show.

Now I'm all in for supporting local artist and events. But this is my school and I will always show love for it.

TOMS ;)

For Everyone who has not heard of TOMS mission it is "for every pair of TOMS sold a pair will be given to a child in another country". Remarkable right? so TOMS arnt expensive they run $40+ now the price may seem extreme for a canvas shoe but its not because its worth from all the reviews of people i see they are lightweight and comfortable.

You can either purchase them on www.toms.com 

Or You can buy some legit ones from local retailers like:
(these are not the only places but are sure legit in product amount)

• Next On Coventry
• Next in Beachwood Place Mall
• Nordstrom Store #227 (Beachwood Place Mall)

They Are worth the price!

now check out some of the new Spring styles that are a must have might I say:

Video Of The Day

Ke$ha- Blah Blah Blah , the video is really creative. I wasn't a big fan of ke$ha at first I joked about her name looking like it sounded like "Keyshia". But when tik tok came out it changed my mind, And also i thought she was tryna be like Lady Gaga, but that also changed she is kinda orginal. I dont wanna say shes different put she is. The ending part of ke$ha video goes real good with the name "Blah blah blah" For a example w/ the strings on the people, etc ..

Thoughts::

I've been having "one of those days"

where I just think about stuff that is new in my life and the first thing that popped into my mind was

Wiz Khalifa

i burned his CD Flight School back over the summer but it just sat there in my Itunes Library with little plays.

but as i kept hearing about him from my friends and on there Ipods i gave him a listen. I ended up nodding my head to "Extra Extra Credit" and "Name on a Cloud" millions of times and i now no the words. 

Then i got to Downloading his latest Mixtape  "Kush and Orange Juice" and let me tell you this ITS DOPE!

I also thought of GaGaDaily.com all this afternoon and how they always give you the insight on where her outfits have come from. They work long and hard to uncover the secrets behind her very fashionable attire.
check it out sometime and you will be sucked into the post as much as i was last night i ended up looking at about 27 pages of their website!
i give mad props to the GaGaDaily Team!

Now For the most irritating thing on my mind.

it irritates me to the fullest to see every single person in the community 10-70 years of age wearing it!
I have some of this clothing brand but my whole closet is not that one brand. They swear they are the "baddest" but there are 7 other people in the room wearing the same exact thing. Excuse me but yes i may have something that others have if i bought it out of H&M or something but i am able to wear it in different ways and I have even shopped at thrift stores.
I really just wanna say wearing the brand and wearing it is not the same.

Thoughts.

I'm gonna blog my heart out

and to start it off here is what Ive thought about today:

Usher

even tho I have been rampaging to stop listening to Usher I bought

 his new album off Itunes weird right?

well there is one song that grabs my attention and its Usher's " OMG " ft. Will.I.Am

sick right? the song is very uptempo and get me moving I have to say that even with him almost of the age to begin menopause (lol) he still has potential.

now on to another great song Ive listened to today.

Alicia Keys:

Un-thinkable(I'm Ready) ft. Drake

is the name of the track

and there is nothing negative to say about the track

the whole album is beautifully done and is a 4.5 Star in my book but this track alone catches me by surprise and it gives me butterflies every time i hear it. With Drake on the distant vocals i feel the track and it relates to how Ive felt in a past relationship which is why i respect the song greatly on a personal level.

next on my agenda:

what inspires me you ask?

i can look at this website for days and write a book of all the inspiration i get by others on there. Photography and Fashion are my loves and seeing the two clash in the most beautiful way doesn't inspire you?

I am Inspired to take myself to the next level every time i think of Lookbook.nu I advise you to check it out.

it is an exclusive community of fashion onlookers who post looks they have created.

H&M's garden collection.

I don't know how many times Ive looked at this collection and have been drooling, young lady's hop on it! there are very nice pieces (like the above) that can be put with a lot and added as an essential to your wardrobe. 

hmthegardencollection.com

prices run from $3.95-$59.95

with many pieces to satisfy any budget :)
