Looking for more original pieces? I gotchu bew

Going to the mall just isn't enough. Between H&M's mass production of the same texture and patterns that are reused constantly or Forever 21's inability to diversify their selection, where else can one buy clothes? Online and social network boutiques have bombarded our lives, and it's safe to say they might be here to stay. Here are few boutiques and websites that have caught my eye within the last year. Who knows, maybe they'll catch yours too.


-Sorella Boutique is based in the heart of Los Angeles and ran by Heather Sanders. Often associated with Tyga's Last King's crew, this boutique has made its way to being extremely recognized outside of the Golden State. Being sported by local Bay Area celebrities and even social network phenomenons, you can see Sanders' dream come to life one piece at a time.

-The website stays true to its name with its sinister-like appeal. The only word to come to mind with this website is NINETIES! Hot Topic meets Topshop is how I would describe this collection. Cher from Clueless meets Debbie from The Wild Thornberry's! Don't not visit this site, despite it being a tad pricey, the quality of the product looks worth the buck!

-As of now, my favorite accessory place to shop. Everything from knuckle rings, anklets, and chokers. Not to mention the abundant amount of sunglasses (OH MY GOD), you do not want to sleep on this urban boutique. Cali based as well, Rihanna Cooper the designer of Vida Kush collaborates ideas from Ancient Egyptians, Native Americans, and Indian cultures to create quality original pieces. VIDA KUSH VIDA KUSH VIDA KUSH! This electrifying phrase translates as "Live Gold" when broken down from it's Spanish and Egyptian roots.

Did you hear that bell?

As the commencement of blazin summer nights and the arrival of amber stained leaves fall upon us, you may be questioning what to wear. Is being a "trill" fashionista still the wave? Or maybe there's still hope on Hipster Island? These are a few helpful tips on what Fall 2013 will consist of.

instant hora to any and every skin tone, this is the color you

for years, and with this color, you might just be the talk of the night!

2 Years 2 Late?

It's been a very long time since I've used blogger, and that's my fault. Becoming acquainted with new blogging sites and other alternatives to social media, I slowly progressed away. But enough of that, I'm back and this time I'm not leaving. Recently, I was face to face with a life changing decision. Potentially, I was not going to be able to finish my education this year. In respect to that, there were roadblocks (called loans) on my road to collegiate success that were making it difficult to actually do much of anything. Between multiple prayers and phone calls to the Bursar office like clock-work, things began to luck up. From this experience, my grind has enhanced and all the little things that I used to pay attention to, don't even matter anymore. How I became so lost in an instant, I will never know. But how I recovered? I'll never forget. Writing is the only thing I know how to do, and how to do well. Realizing that I potentially wouldn't be able to do that anymore, ignited a feeling in me I haven't felt since my senior year of high school. That feeling is commonly known as ambition. And I pray to God, I never lose that feeling again. That's the same feeling that raised and nurtured my writing when no one and nothing else could. That feeling is the same feeling that made me promise myself to never sell short, let alone sell out. That feeling is the same feeling that created an infinite appetite for all things written and never told.
