Words Misused

Cause I Can...

Shopping is my drug.  I've never denied that I'm an addict.  In fact, I've always embraced it in a way. I mean I'm Style Addicted.  And I must say, I think I do a damn good job of keeping my shopping habit under control.  My bills are paid and money is saved.  That may just be due to the fact that I earn a good salary that I can afford the luxury of spending... but that will soon change.

With my plans of goingto law school in 2 years it would make sense to save since I don't plan to work.  But who likes doing that??

You see shopping is my reward.  It motivates me to keep going.  A pat on the back for a job well done.  Why the pat on the back for doing what I should you ask (since I know you will ask)? Because it's not my parent's world anymore where my rewards are controlled.  To put it simply... because I can! Who can tell me no? I already save money.  Saving more... I'll get to that.  But today, I'll be at Sephora, Zara and Bloomingdales stocking up my closet for the fall. *snap*

I'm On YouTube... Finally!!

So I finally did it! I have been thinking about this for almost 2 years and last night I made my first video for YouTube. Of course I have to edit it and get it down to 10 minutes so it's not up yet. What took me so long you ask? Well I had been spending so much time focusing on how to make the best intro and what my videos will be about and I kept getting stuck because I didn't want to limit myself but I didn't want to be to broad either.

Well, while going through this tug of war with myself, I saw a video on YouTube from a YouTuber named GregoryGorgeous that I love and follow because he is one of the most hilarious and vulgar people I watch on there.  He did a video about his YouTube story and in it his advice to people who want to start a YouTube channel was not to think about it too much because if you do you'll never do it.  Don't worry about how it sounds or making it perfect... just do it.

So that's what I'm doing. My first video is just a way for my viewers to meet me.  I hope to have it posted up by the end of the weekend and I know it's supposed to go through an approval phase before YouTube will put it up. In any case look out for that! You can check out my YouTube channel here.

Fall is in the Air

Fall is my favorite time of year.  I used to think it was spring but after some thought... yea it's definitely fall.  I love the weather change from hot to cool but that's not even the biggest reason.  The most important thing about this season is the release of the fall collections and fashion week!! Yes, this is absolutely the best season for shopping.

Usually around this time of year I lack the funds to do the kind of damage I would like (which is probably why I used to like spring more lol) but this year even after taking a number of vacations this summer and shopping more than I probably should have *guilty look* I've managed to still have some $$$ to spend on my fall wardrobe.

The best thing about the fall collections that differ from the spring collections is the variety.  There are more textures to choose from and mix together. I've always loved the concept of layering which is hard to do in the spring and summer seasons, unless you like being hot as hell.

Looking at the blogs lately and the videos and photos from Fashion Week Sping 2011, everyone is already starting to bring out some of their fall looks at the evening shows when the weather is more cool.

   I saw this photo of Solange at fashion week while looking at the YBF Blog and really liked her look.  I don't normally like white dresses but I'm feeling this.  I especially love big knits. I think I'm going to do a remake of this look and see how I can make it my own.  It will surely be different but very classy and simply put together like her look.  But first I have to find a big knitted grey sweater like this one. I guess now I have to go shopping *innocence* lol.
