Just got my hair done and eyebrows waxed!  I love primping :D  So I went to my hair stylist Chanel Unique once again and boy did she hook me up!  I'm wearing my hair with a Spanish curl style.  Tell me what you think!

Fashionista: Frills & Florals! ❀ ❀ ❀

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

Spring is about to go into full effect!  I'm so excited!  The trees are blossoming, the robins and blue jays are back, and the weather is warming up!  I really am loving some of the spring fashions in Japan and Korea right now.  The girls are wearing feminine and flirty skirts and dresses.  The frills and florals are refreshing and sweet!






























Until next time...

Fashion Event: International Corjor Fashion Show ♥ ♥

Friday, February 25, 2011

This week is Fashion Week in DC!  Since I hadn't been to any of the previous events this week, I decided to go to the International Corjor Fashion Show held at the Mood Lounge tonight.  This fashion show featured European inspired Red Carpet fashions designed by Ean Williams the director of DC Fashion Week.  Here is the video that I took of the runway...



Hmmm...my personal opinion....the make up looked great ^.^;;  But seriously, when did Big Bird become  fashionable?  I really hope people in Europe aren't wearing things like that.  Some of the pieces were beautifully put together, but I particularly did not appreciate any of the men's designs.  However I could appreciate their abs! ^__~  Here are some more photos that I took...















And YES...that is a sheet that the models are walking on LOL!  For Ean Williams being the director of DC Fashion Week, I would have thought he would pick a better venue for his collection.  It was pretty tacky and some of the crowd was a bit...unrefined (as you can hear in my video!) 


Now this is the face of a real model! ^.^;;  The ugly guy next to me is just a fan trying to be a groupie.  He was nice enough to hold my jacket while I filmed the show.  Overall I was disappointed, but it was still fun getting out and seeing the event.  Wish the honey bun could have come out with me, but he said I wore him out already this week ^. ~

Until next time...

Pre-Valentine's Day Romance

Monday, February 14, 2011

Happy Valentine's Day!  It's sort of a bitter sweet day for me.  Turns out my honey bun is all bun and no honey! LOL!  He made all of these really nice plans for Valentine's Day weekend a month in advance...but somehow he forgot that he had to work this weekend.  I'm a very patient woman, but I don't like promises and plans made that cannot be delivered upon.  On Saturday I reposted my dating profile just to kind of see who else is out there because I am single after all.  Not even two hours later a real cutie pie sends me a message inviting me out to see the Broadway play "FELA" the next day.  I was a bit skeptical because his profile kind of made him sound like he was really picky about women, and I like to have an ongoing dialogue with people for a while before meeting them in person.  Something inside me said, why not?  I bought this really expensive Free People dress to wear somewhere nice for Valentine's Day weekend and I already got the shoes and accessories to match.  So here is how my first date went...


So I meet up with the new guy at the Shakespeare Theatre Company on F St. NW in Washington, DC.  This is my first time here, so I was really looking forward to the play!


FELA is about to start!  This play was written by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.  It's a play about the true story of a Nigerian musician named Fela Kuti who devoted his music to defy an oppressive military regime.


This is us posing after the play!  He's so very handsome! ^.^;;  I'm really glad that my niece did my hair. It turned out really beautiful.  This was an amazing first date.  I loved the play and we shared a lot of good laughs, but the date wasn't over just yet...





He took me out to a nice mediterranean restaurant called Zaytinya, which was nearby.  I ordered seared salmon, which was very delicious.  He ordered roasted cauliflower, which he claimed was yummy, but I was suspicious of haha!  I'm a very picky eater when it comes to vegetables.  I know you can't see my dress here, but the restaurant was chilly!


After dinner, we went to a small movie theatre and saw a South Korean film called "Housemaid".  It was pretty good, but had a bizarre ending.  This is my dress!  I can't wait to wear it again.  The plunge in the neckline makes me a bit shy, but I don't think that it looks trashy.


I wouldn't say I had a Valentine this year, but I am thankful that I at least got to get out and have a good time.  It's really nice being treated like a real lady.  My date seemed like a real gentleman and I think any girl he settles down with will be a very happy woman.  I'm not sure if he's interested in me or not, but I did get invited on a second date!  He wants me to go to New York with him this Thursday to meet Maya Angelou at her book signing for her latest cook book.  This is like a once in a lifetime opportunity and its crazy that he wants to spend it with me!

Until next time...
