Leggings: The new sweat pant?

It's summer, so the fever has cooled down...leggings fever that is. I love that leggings allow you to wear curve hugging bottoms that are also comfortable and come in a variety of colors. I also love the capri or long option although I think capri leggings are for a very certain body type and CAN be misused and abused. With that being said, I'm recently seeing alot of...how do I say this nicely(cause you KNOW I aint nice)...sloppy and just unnecessary misuse of the godsend called the legging, such as; not matching colors correctly >


or not choosing leggings with enough fabric >


or not finding a pair of leggings with the appropriate length for your shoe choice >





I don't know what's so hard ladies, shit and gentleman because I know there are some men out there with legging fever and are most likely fucking it up as well.

So, here are 5 rules to live by so you're never THAT bitch.

1. KNOW YOUR SIZE. I know that some of us want to believe we're still just a large but boo, if your leggings are pulling so much that we see the plastic polymers (I SAID THAT SHIT TOO, POLYMERS BOO!) through the fabric, it's time to add the X baby. No shame in going up a size and looking fabulous, but there's no excuse for wearing a smedium when you're a slarge.

2. COORDINATE. It's universal: black goes with everything. It is NOT universal for all colors simply because mixing teal with magenta ain't hittin' it. Solid leggings are easily paired, colorful leggings are usually best paired with solid tops...get it? It's all a matter of isolating the drama in your outfit and playing it up with simple accents.

3. LENGTH CONSCIOUSNESS. Not all of us are model thin or have legs for days, that still isn't an excuse for letting your legging de-sexy your bottom half. If you're plus size, a longer legging is more flattering, it gives you a shapely silhouette and softens any lumps, bumps or humps. I do not reccommend capri leggings for a larger woman only because it can shape your thighs but leave your calves hangin'. If you're on the slim or athletic side you may want to consider capri leggings, it can really accentuate your toned calves.

4 KEEP THE SHOE IN MIND. If you're wearing capri style leggings then I shouldn't catch you in booties, I shouldn't catch you any boot that doesn't MEET and/or COVER the bottom of your leggings. Flats usually go really well with leggings, especially if it's a relaxed look. I don't condone the sneaker/legging combo unless you're getting your fitness on. I don't hate ugg's in fall so they're a total "GO" until I see snow, then I'm not sure who you're trying to fool with them raggedy, wet looking things.

and 5. DONT GO CRAZY Just because Beyonce has embellished leggings doesnt mean they're a good look...for you. Some people just cannot pull off the fancy legging, you know what I'm talking about, the ones with zippers, bells, whistles, tassels, french horns and mini bar on the side. If you don't know or are unsure if you should be wearing these flamboyant bottoms, then don't, step away from the rack and proceed to the scarf aisle.


I hope I helped someone today, or someones. If I did, leave an AMEN! Shit, if you're going to show this to someone who needs it send a double AMEN.

Fruit and Neutral

My first attempt at my fruity nails. Came out pretty cute =)

Jesses Girl Cosmetics haul

I keep randomly talking about Jesses girl here and there, but im slacking on making an actual review! HELLO! haha. Im going to get on it, i promise. They are so worth review. I know times are tough, and if you dont do makeup professionally you might not want to spend tons of money on it, this is for sure a great purchase for your money! Jesses girl lose eye shadows go for about 3.99 a piece at most drug stores.

The ones pictured above are from the first round i purchased a while ago. I got these few because i had heard good things about them but wanted to try them out for myself before i went and got every single color lol.


They come in lose form, and are SUPER pigmented. For 3.99, these are a steal because umm they are WAY up there in color pay off. The only downfall is that i hate lose powder because its kind of messy, but these are worth it.

After loving my first round, i decided to go back and get some more. I had a list of like 16 colors that i wanted to get, BUT umm i'll split it in two more rounds because geesh if i get all of them i'll be overwhelmed and wont try them. i LOVE these new colors i got, they are GORGEOUS! I had the hardest time choosing only 8 because i really, really wanted them all. They have a great selection of colors. Here's a closer look at the new ones....


this has to be my FAVE! "trouble maker"

"kiwi rose"

"key lime"

"fruit punch"

"sunlit cactus"


"pink glitz"

"antique green"

"ultra violet"

All are super gorgeous and well worth their money. I cant wait to try these out. Maybe i'll do something funky with them tomorrow. Go and check these out girls they are so worth the money. I think i got these at brooks to be exact, and payed around 30 something for all 8. They also have an eyeshadow primer that works pretty good as well. You can also get these online on the Jesses Girl website.

Sallys Haul...again lol

I really need to stay away from Sally's. i feel like every time i drive by it, i HAVE to stop and check what they have. I guess its because bank of America is right next to it. womp womp haha. Anyways, after getting all that nail stuff, i decided to go again and get more.

i got these adorable flowers, and more watermelons.
i got this clay art wheel but i don't know how i feel about it. i only bought it because i liked 3 or 4 of these flowers, and the rest are BLAH. They had these GORGEOUS butterflies that i must get next time I'm there.

Since I've been buying so many clay art things, i went and got these little jars since not all of them come in a jar. Thank god i found these because i had no clue how i was going to store these. The wheel thing sucks, every time i turn it at least 5 flowers fall out, or fall into the other compartments. wahhhhhh!
