Shine Bright Like A Diamond 💎

Isn't she though ?!




Even with a recent break up, you wouldn't be able to tell that she's going through it. Barbadian songstress Rihanna is flaunting her stuff and doing it in her own way - INDIVIDUALITY - do your own thing and never worry what anyone else has to say about it, kudos Rihanna !



I'm going to tell you why I love her so much. She doesn't give a damn about what anyone has to say, she does her own thing and doesn't have any regrets about it in a "fuck you, pay me" kind of way. She's daring with her image and isn't afraid to try something new, which in fact, I believe everyone can learn from.


                                                                           
I love this hair do ! Any who, among my many, many, MANY favorite looks that she's done these are my choices for this week. Those over-sized clutches are to die for ! Okayyy, so maybe you've noticed that I tend to get sidetracked a lot one of the reasons it takes me forever to post anything :(. Here we go, as usual I'm going to show my version of her look and where to go to find them and get the look for yourself.
The first photo we'll call Pop of Color and for the second photo Neutral Haven

My Version of Rihanna's:
Pop of Color

 When I saw this top I had endless ideas on how to dress it up and also to dress it down. black tends to be a go to shade because its slimming and it also forgiving. This top was a steal at $12.95 at hm.com. Tuck the shirt into the shorts just a lil in the front and get ready for heads to turn !

Photo 1 of MOTO High Waisted Denim Shorts High waisted shorts are trending this season and a must have staple to your wardrobe. I found this nice blue coloring shorts at topshop.com for $56

2013 Sexy ladies cut-out boots lace up high heels sandals boots peep toe party boots Super tiny, sorry guys. This was the "gladiator" heels I could find that wasn't ridiculously expensive or cheap looking. It's an alternative, but I fell in love with it ! The flowery detail work softens it and it can go from casual to date night to being bold, what ever look you wanted to go for these babies would be your attention grabber. I found these on aliexpress.com for $81, not too bad.

 I chose this peach studded envelope clutch. Choosing a pastel colored accessory will soften the look dramatically. The pop of peach will draw attention your legs and shoes, complimenting each other nicely. A steal at $24.80, and you can find it at forever21.com

Neutral Haven

92282.jpg Huge dolman top fan here ! Why I love dolman tops: super comfortable, when I'm lazy and really don't feel like getting dressed besides sweats, this is my go-to thing, finally they're really simple. So this cream dolman top is 37 bucks. You can find it at lulus.com

Alternate Image Jeggings ! The only thing better than leggings !, if that's even possible ? Hugs your skin like leggings, with the look of a jean. A must have in your closet, like at least one pair because I only have one and I'm constantly washing them because I love them so much (note to self: invest in 6 more jeggings minimum !) Ladies with height like myself, I know the struggle of finding jeans that are also the right length and hug your curves perfectly. There's very few stores that accommodate our needs and almost impossible ordering online. I myself standing at a lil over six feet present LONG jeggings ! Wetseal.com has really good jeans, affordable and all kinds of washes, and for only $26.50, cheaper than ones I have !

99834.jpg I these pointed toe shoes ! The chain ankle strap is whispering sweet nothings in my ears Haa ! ok so these babies are only $38 at lulus.com, I love buying shoes from them because they really are true to their size, fit like a dream, and look EXACTLY like the pic.. (have you guys ever had that problem?) 

93578f.jpg The beige clutch matches the shoes spot on ! The gold on the clutch ties in nicely with the chain ankle strap of the heels. When your outfit is simple it just makes it looks so clean. This clutch was also at lulus.com for $47.

Thankyou you guys for stopping by my blog, make sure you follow to get more inspiration for your closet and snag your celebrity looks.

HOW I USED THE DOLMAN TOP

Super laid back :)

OK ladies listen, you might think I'm crazy but I'm actually wearing my brother's jeans ! I just put on a belt so that they don't slide off my ass and rolled them up a couple times. Cute and fun right ? So my shirt came from forever21 (forever21.com) and I honestly cant remember how long I've had it now.., the jeans as well ! forever21 MEN, and my heels came from shoedazzle.com

Have a Great Day !

Rock On!


Who else is lovin' Maxim's sexiest woman alive? I know I am! Miley Cyrus is absolutely gorgeous at the tender age of 20, (ahh, I remember when I was 20..) rocking this short blonde cut, giving her a rocker edge and yet it seamlessly can be red carpet ready.


See what I mean! ok I think I goggled enough, down to business
 
 
Here with fiancé, Liam Hemsworth, this sheer turtle neck top and leopard jeans combo is simple and chic. Now unlike her unfortunately, I don't have the same budget to go shopping with SO I have links, company names and prices on how you can score this great look for much less.

So I give to you my version of this outfit but a lil more edgier, I created links to take you to the website(s) if you want to purchase this look for yourself.

My Version of Miley's:


I found this black top at nastygal.com, its $58





These are too dope! I found these front leopard print skinnies at forever21.com, and only $29.80 SCORE!




98050.jpgI personally don't own any kitten heels and not even I know why! they'll save your feet for starters and give the same desired ''sexiness'' effect as a higher heel would. I found these black patent peep toed babies at lulus.com I love this site! You can always find something there.. AND $21

(I couldn't get the picture in here) black belt accented with gold I found at agaci.com for $7.90

And finally the purse. I would say a cute black clutch and if your like me chances are you'd prefer to have a huge bag but don't feel like lugging it around, to solve that go with an oversized clutch. Your mind will be settled by the fact that you can put a little more in and it wont affect the killer outfit. The clutch here I found at macys.com for $65

I do hope you guys check it and enjoyed my take on her ensemble! I have a couple favs right now as far as celebrities go. Leave a comment, what would you want to see posted here? Ask away

A wise man, Danny Nagishima, once told me "Enough struggle ! Chant vigorously and make something happen !", so here is my first blog.

I guess I should tell you guys a lil bit about myself and what I'm trying to do here; I'm a fashion lover first and foremost. Avid Instgrammer and Wanelo.. Uhh.. -er. Model. Stylist. And like most people a lover of beautiful things. My mother and my sister are convinced that I have a "gift" with pin pointing people on the street and knowing how to take their outfit and say how I would've worn it to give it a lil sass & Nina-ness ;).

So here I am, showing off my sense of style and how I would put together my outfits, accessories, where they came from and also, where you can get them !

Under much appreciation for this 90 degree weather, I give to you my outfit


I had a casting call this past Saturday and I wanted be really cute and bright and this is what I came up with. I live in New York so I'm not sure if you can find the dress (that I "borrowed" from my sister) out of state, but here's a list of the companies I got my look from.

Dress: Papaya
Shoes: Shoedazzle.com (for those who don't, Shoedazzle's angle is a personalized showroom based on what you like, so you might not find these)
Bracelets: Charlotte Russe
Sunglasses: Forever21
Purse: Louis Vuitton knock off bought in China Town (don't judge me)




 
Ooh jeez! do excuse my dirty mirror, a lot of hair spray has been used this week. I was going for a soft look and to achieve that I wanted a sheer and lace combo, to add a lil sass I paired my kickass brown leather boots. Here's the rundown for this outfit.
 
Knit hat: 5.7.9
White Blouse: I have no idea where this came from! my mom's friend gave us a lot of clothes for helping her move :(
Lace Dress: My sister got this at a thrift store somewhere
Leather Ankle Boots: Forever21
Accessories: Forever21 
Belt: I "borrowed" from my brother
 
I don't discriminate! I use a lot of my brother's sweaters, sneakers, (thank goodness we're the same size!) scarves, and I'm moving on up to jeans too! If you too like borrow your siblings' things most times without them knowing just do what I do, wash it and put it back EXACTLY where you found it and they can't be upset for two reasons:
1. It shows you cared enough to wash it before you gave it back to them
2. You didn't make it hard for them find
 
Enjoy your week guys and let me know if you like what you see and what you want to see more of
