Key Words:
adj. Milf in Training- to be in tune with the qualities of a super mom... and arm ones self with said ammunition in order to better take over the world, bake cookies and break hearts!

* I never thought shopping for apartment decorations would compare to shopping for clothes! But...on a random saturday I was held hostage at the neighborhood Ross and an Adventure ensued no less! I Loved what i saw. Im goin back for similar pieces when Im less broke and ready to lay some duckets on the counter come August! :D
* Pics from my Blackberry.. not the best quality. #whatevrr

#OhYouFancyHuhn..."Bad Bitch Business"

I started following the Lovely Jennifer Le and Cherry Bomb, the MASTERMINDS of 2Bitchezdeep about a year ago and I have nothing but love for them! They keep me humble like... [["whats an upper classmen to a graduate"]]. Needless to say they do WORK! Singlehandedly my love for DiY clothing stemmed from their inspiration... Iv been on a rampage ever since! So in original Bad Bitch fashion, I had to make my own signature studded heels in their honor.

ASK Jeeves... or better Yet ask ME!!

MY STYLE:

I cant and wont pinpoint my style. Its always evolving and never stagnant. I draw inspiration for my looks from mainstream media and fashion icons, and the regular Joe Shmoes and Jane Does. I don’t shop for outfits. I keep a mental inventory of my closet so I shop for specific articles and random things that catch my eye. Most of my pieces are a couple months old before I actually wear them. I let them marinate in my closet until I harvest them to created a medley of style. Some pieces ripen faster than others, but they always turn out sweet and full of character!

Some of my inspirations:

"Ball at your level"- Wise Words from a decent man..

The Break Down:
Right now Im living the life of a broke college student. Needless to say, Stylish and Broke are opposites that do not attract. I accept the fact that Money isnt always easy to come by, but I still crave fashion and the next best thing. Improvisation is key! Iv opened up to a whole new world of D.I.Y clothing and all I wanna do is stud this, spike that, add safety pins here, nip there, tuck everywhere and Fcuk Sh*it up.... This is me Balling at my own level.

**Disclaimer- If the horseshoes on your Trues are wrong as well as them LV's on ya bag... Stay in your tax bracket. You coulda went to Ross or Forever 21 or the Thrift store and got something unquestionable. Labels don't equate Style. #Knowthis.

[ Stay tuned for more "D.I.Y Flyy" posts to see how I "Ball at my level" ]

"Truly Yours, your biggest fan.. This is Stan"

**If you're around me long enough... you'll fall victim to my confession of my unrequited love for RIHANNA!!! In my perfect world.. she would be my bestfriend and Chris Brown would be my boyfriend.. this all works only in theory however so just let me dream. lol.

Either way... I love her team of stylists... they create a monster each time they clothe her!!!

The Equation:
