The NOLA Experience

Hello Sexy Sirens!


     Happy New Year!!!!! It's now officially 2015 which means the beginning of a clean slate! You have a whole new opportunity, 365 fresh new days, to either make things happen or fuck it up all over again! Please don't choose the latter.... This year I have decided to enjoy my life more. A lot of the time we get so wrapped up in the pressures and responsibilities of life, especially those of us with a family and children of our own. We often forget to LIVE and not just breathe, between helping with homework, working that 9-5 , putting food on the table for the hubby, and taking the kids to their weekly activities, we have a lot on our plates and it can be stressful, taking away the joy of it all. We have to learn that even while doing those necessary tasks, we can still find joy in little things. Set aside time for you and your family to just enjoy life.

Even though I have been to New Orleans a thousand times over, I usually just go to visit my family members, chill at their house, maybe go out to eat or something, and then leave or go to an acting audition and then leave. I go there, I breathe there....I turnaround, I go home, I breathe at home...I'm tired of just breathing , I want to LIVE! So this time I decided that I wanted my son and my mother to experience New Orleans. for once, like my son NEVER has and like my mom hasn't in YEARS. That is just what we did this time!  We LIVED!

Thrift Shop Challenge look #3

Hello Sexy Sirens,

 I'm excited to share Look #3 from the "Thrift Shop Challenge", I feel like it's taking me FOREVER to complete it! I will do two more thrift looks and then I am done! Don't worry though, because I will still bring you affordable looks that make you look like a billion bucks without breaking the bank! 

So here is the look I put together, the top and jeans together cost $23! Can you believe it!? The coat I forgot how much I paid for it because I bought it a few years ago. The shoes don't count for the challenge.

Top: Goodwill for $4 , I got really creative with it because I made it into a knotted crop by cutting the bottom up to the middle and tying the ends together. 

Jeans: By Cello "High Waist Skinny Faded Light Wash" $19, www.beyondtherack.com , they are having an awesome sale right now so check out the site! 

Jacket; by Mixit , it is a 1980's Genuine Rabbit Fur Bomber Jacket, I purchased it from my favorite consignment shop in Shreveport,LA "New to You" , once a year they have an event where they get lots of genuine furs that come in. You may be able to catch it if you are in the area!  Here are similar styles you can purchase:

H&M Faux Fur Jacket

House of CB Faux Fur Bomber Jacket

Shoes are from www.TopShop.com and cost $130

So Necessary....

Hello Sexy Sirens,

 I believe that having simple pieces in your wardrobe is essential to great style! I used to be the type that wanted everything I wore to be loud, flamboyant, and over the top! I wore lots of color and anything that was bling, I had to have it! Now, I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with wearing colors and being colorful, if that is your way of expression then by all means, carry on! For me personally, I realized that a balance is best! I never realized how important neutral colors were in adding balance and sophistication.

Highlighter Craze!!!

Hey Sexy Sirens!!!

 I have a major obsession with Highlighters! They make the whole look! When you have a great highlighter, it appears as if your skin radiates a perfect glow that only celebrities don! You can have the look perfected too, no matter what skin tone you have! Here are a few of my absolute favorite highlighters that are affordable and NOT limited editions. (Because I HATE when someone brags about a Limited Edition highlighter knowing damn well I can't get my hands on it for under a million bucks!)

Fall Perfection

Hello Sexy Sirens!

  I am not here to write a long neverending story about how much I LOVE Fall, because I don't really love it, I am just beginning to appreciate it more & more. Today was perfect sweater weather, cool.. boarder line cold , but not enough for a coat or jacket! I decided to wear this ultra chic sweater that I purchased from www.necessaryclothing.com , which has now become one of my favorite stores!
