My latest girl obsession: Kreayshawn

"Gucci Gucci, Louis, Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada. Basic b**ches wear that s**t so I don't even bother"

"So who the hell is Kreayshawn?" Ask those of you who are extremely out of the loop.

This is her. White female rapper/future ghetto chic fashion icon?

I am currently obsessed with her for a couple of different reasons. And her talent is not necessarily one of them.

Firstly, what she wears is what I wish I could do if money and cowardice was no problem. And at the same time, we kinda of share the same aesthetic in some ways. Everyone clearly knows I love to wear ghetto gold hoops such as these:

Back to Kreayshawn. Its not even like anything she wears is uber spectacular or expensive but she brings it together to make it something...edgy. I love the two tone hair. Its short, she's not trying to use her hair as a crutch for sexiness. Notice I said 'crutch' not 'crotch' LOL. Her accessories aren't things you'll find in the jewellery section of Forever 21, they all seem custom made, even if they aren't.

Look Mummy...Minnie Mouse Ears!

Like who would seriously wear these outside of Disneyworld Florida? 

And in addition to this she has tattoos. To be honest, they are pretty ugly tattoos that I would never even dream of having, BUT it does add to her look and works for her. Its that tomboy look that does leave you looking butch. Maybe it helps that she's quite pretty? Her style is in the same family as the whole Chris Brown, Tyga (hotness) but she adapts it for the female. 

Could this be a girl crush?

Tell me she can't rap. Tell me she's worse than Soulja boy with the flu. But don't tell me she ain't FLY. (Yes with capital letters. Thats how fly she actually is.)

Let me leave you with some images for your visual consumption:

Oh...and I'd be a total bitch if I didn't include her video for 'Gucci Gucci'. Its a lot short of a masterpiece, yet oh so addictive at the same time.

Enjoy lovers

Liptastic!!!

So on twitter, I saw that it was National Kissing Day (google doesn't seem to agree).

It got me thinking about the things we put on our lips to make them look pretty. And whether we're making the right choices. Are our lip choices seducing men or scaring them away?

So everyone knows I'm partial to a bit of bright lipstick. Preferably red or hot pink.

Yes, its Queen Beyonce.

Yes, red looks extremely sexy. And yeah it will get men to notice you. They're going to think your dangerous and risky, possibly slutty...and all those other fake connotations that come along with the colour red. HOWEVER, when they think about kissing you all they're going to think about is being left with a smeared clown make up look.

So, yeah you could go for a lipgloss like my favourite by Revlon:

Guys, this lipgloss is the shizbang. #imjustsaying

It makes your lips look plump and shiny and glamourous, and makes them LOOK very kissable. BUT as you and I both know, lipgloss can be as sticky as a tramps underarms. Not exactly ideal is it.

The perfect solution to having perfectly kissable lips comes down to these three:

1) Use a liptint or stain. It gives you colour but its more of a matte finish, and it'll stay on all day. Its not 'juicy' if you know what I mean so it won't end up all over his cheeks, neck and chin. I suggest these by Maybelline. Its called Colour Sensational Lipstain.

2) the second product you can use is Carmex. Its quite thick, but its colourless and leaves your lips extremely soft. There's something about that yellow tube that people can't seem to resist, even though its not necessarily the best product out there at the moment.

3) And last but not least...*drum roll please*...Vaseline! Ok, so its made out of petroleum, which is extremely bad for your lips in the long run. But I'm a fan of short term pleasure, and vaseline most certainly fulfils that need. Go for the cocoa butter scented one...Its just the bestest.

Lots of love,

Who says you cant look trendy while on the treadmill?

Nike and all the other brands make it hard for us to look bad while being all sweaty. Check out these babys.
I literally walked in and out with my jaw to the ground.

Adidas never fail to deliver.

My pet peeves!

This is just a quick post about things that get on my damn nerves...relating to fashion and beauty of course. So here goes...

1) Wearing large earrings and a statement necklace. I mean, please. Just don't. You distract from each accessory so much that you may as well not be wearing any. It kind of cheapens and outfit. And yeah its just plain wrong.

2) Outfits with completely matched clothing and accessories. Otherwise known as the standard clothing of a Tottenham teenage girl. You know what I mean. You put a yellow ribbon in your hair...so you thought you would add a yellow necklace, belt, bag and ballet pumps. Its kind of vomit inducing. It does not showcase any thought or originality and you know, I value my eyesight and well-being. Seeing these kind of outfits completely ruins my day.

3) A lot of people have love handles...but that does not mean that the public should have to be subjected to it hanging over your jeggings. I'm a size 14/16, therefore I cover it up...no belly/crop tops for me. Carnival Monday nearly made my eyes bleed.

4) Unless its done professionally, please do not put eyeshadow all the way up to your eyebrows...and if you do, choose a shade that suits you. Meaning if your black, its probably best to stay away from pastel pink.

5) Gucci/LV clothes/accessories on men. Instant turn off.

I've just realised how bitter I sound so I'm going to stop talking now. Feel free to add any of your own pet peeves below! :)

What to wear to work...

Hey guys!

So I'm back from Florida like 3 shades darker (a good thing), and finally decided I would get back into the swing of things and write a blog post because I know you guys gave missed me dearly (not).

So some of you may know that I just started a new job at a secondary school as a teaching assistant. So...that basically means that I have to dress like an old lady waiting at a bus stop. Like seriously, on my first day the boss laid down the law: no bare arms, no cleavage, no denim, no leggings...yes the list unfortunately goes on. So what does the girl whose wardrobe basically consists of shorts, skirts and brightly coloured leggings do? Have panic attacks thats what. I'm actually feeling pretty depressed, because I feel like I'm suppressing my style for this job (although I do love it).

So...as some sort of continuation of the 'What to wear to interviews' blog post I've decided to try and wade through the wilderness, and see if I can make matronly fashionable. (I doubt it)

First up I spotted these trousers from Asos:

Yes, I'm a polka dot whore and I jizzed when I saw these. Going to wear it with my white lace up wedges...and perhaps this...

I mean yes there's a huge risk of looking like a clown. Or a huge risk of looking too matchy matchy. BUT picture it with a wedge heel, chunky bracelets, hot pink lipstick and dead straight hair. I'm actually salivating.

Ok some other options:

Thinking of wearing this with some chunky knit tights and block heels? Or is this too formal and matronly for a 21 year old? #argh! Maybe I could wear it with a leather jacket?

Erm I actullly love this. Are the 70s still in?! Do I really care? When have I ever.

So that kind of rounds it off for me. But guys I really do need your suggestions, because I am truly stuck in the mud at the moment.

Lots of love,

Jadeybaby xXx
