Banter and other BullSh*t

"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" ]

Serial Shopper~ Oxfords in Overdrive

Jolly ole' Oxfords. They remind me so much of London Street Style. Out with the plain Jane Ballet Flats and in with these chic must-haves! #Digg it!

-Urban Outfitters

Released the Oxfords, for good behavior, after a 6 month prison sentence in my closet.

Summer Barbeques are the BESTEST!

** The Official Debut of the Oxfords.. circa Fall 2009.

**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:

Rihanna + Hair + Makeup + Jewelry + Nails + Shoes + Tattoos = BOSS

** All white suit with a themed pattern... SO Splashy!

Every Dame needs Duckets... they go like PB and J.
