Angela Simmons brings back her Louis Vuitton Shoes

Hey guys,
Angela Simmons creator of the Pastry shoe line was spotted over the weekend rocking some fab shoes from none other than Louis Vuitton. I love the shoes and think she paired them awesomely with a Dolce and Gabbana dress. Black and Gold what a great combo. I wish I could get my hands on these shoes!


But wait these shoes are actually throw back. The first time she made her public appearance in these shoes was back in 2008 with her sister Vanessa. Guess I won't be getting a pair anytime soon unless I find someone who is selling them on ebay or amazon right? Do you think that this is a fashion no no or should get a pass because the shoes are haute. Many celebs rock their clothing and shoes more than once but these shoes are from 3 years ago. Whatever the case I definitely think missed the mark the first time around and got right the second time. What do you guys thinks?

My First Zoya Polishes

I recently picked up a couple of polishes from the brand Zoya from their 2010 Fire and Ice collection thanks to a promotion on Facebook they were having. I decided to pick polishes that I normally would never wear which are from the glitter family. I'm not a big fan of the whole sparkle and glitter but since they were free I thought why not. Another thing that made me want polish from Zoya is because these polishes are  free of toluene, formaldehyde, DBP (phthalates) and camphor. These toxins have been linked to cancer and many other allergic reactions that are unsafe for people with asthma and that may be pregnant. Big plus...Some may say that Zoya is not creative when it comes to naming there polishes. Evey bottle is named after just a name. I think its a great idea your name could be the next nail color. I'm still waiting to see what color my name will be. I have found a Lexi but let's see if they will name on after my government name. Anyway please excuse the crappy pictures. I'm still learning how to take good pictures of my nails to capture the essence of the color. Its work in the making. 


The first color I polished my nails is called Valerie. I have seen many swatches of this color and its more dark purple than I see but then again this may be because of the lighting and my GREAT camera skills..right! There is a hint of gold that pops in the right light. I was surprised to see more polish than glitter which is a plus for me cause again not a fan of the glitters. On my nails more red appeared than purple but the color matched the bottle dead on.


This one has to be my favorite because my favorite color is blue. This color is called Crystal. I don't really enjoy the name but the color is wonderful. You can really see the gold popping out of this color. The color reminds me of Ice.


Overall, these colors are awesome they have a foil effect that looks really smooth with a metal finish. Iridescent tones shout out of this polish in the best light. Zoya has made me become a huge fan. Thumbs up to Zoya.

ACM Wallet for the Geek Sheek

Hello Lovelies...
I just came across a really cool invention. I really discovered this high tech wallet via my mother. This wallet holds 6 credit cards, receipts, business cards and has a clip for your cash. I'm not sure if I would want my cash to be hanging out on the clip but the idea of the wallet is really savvy. You even have the option to have it engraved. Check out the site. My mom has the pink one seen below. But there are many more options on the site.
