Nu Pop Vs. G-Shock watch

2009-11-19T15:54:00.013-05:00

When I was younger, watches were my favorite accessories. Then I grew up, got a phone and didn't see the need of a watch because well the phone had the time. But you can't always depend on the phone, so recently I've been wanting to get couple of watches. I was looking at the G-shock watches which are very popular now but recently Jermaine Dupri collaborate with jewelry designer Pascal Mouawad and launched this brand new watch line called Nu Pop Movement. It is very stylish, funky and very different then the other watches I've seen. But since they are new, they do not have as much varieties as G-Shock does. Either way I like both of the lines, you guys can add them on your Christmas list or purchase it for someone who loves watches.

For my Bday (December 19Th) or Christmas either of these will make my left wrist very happy

Or the red or brown Nu Pop Movement. Either or you know :)

All Black Everything

2009-11-19T14:04:00.005-05:00

So Jay-Z starting this trend now every time you see someone wearing all black, it's "All Black Everything".

Here's my "All Black Everything" looks of the week:

Love Come Down !

2009-11-12T14:56:00.003-05:00

I don't remember if I said this before but I have this love/hate thing with this new Diddy group "Dirty Money". I feel as if he's taking advantage of Dawn's talent cause she's just so amazing! But anyway I didn't like the first single "Angels" but "Love Come Down" is my ishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! So they finally came out with a video for it and I am loving it. It has this 90's feel to it, think Diddy and Mase with a futuristic vibe. The light effects are great. I think that these outfit should've been way better. But that's just my opinion. So enjoy the video and let me know what you think. :)

P.S. Where is Diddy going with the bottom grillz?

Yele Haiti Boots: Timberland Earthkeepers

2009-11-12T14:20:00.005-05:00

Just sitting here posting, I was talking to one of my friends and she told me about this Yele Haiti Boots. For some of you who don't know I am Haitian, born and raised there so anything to help Haiti I support it!

Here's what it is basically:

"To help promote reforestation in Haiti and protect the environment, Timberland and Wyclef Jean have teamed up to create the Yéle Haiti Playlist With A Purpose. Just add this reforestation remix to your favorites and imeem will make a donation to Wyclef’s Yéle Haiti Vert program, a grassroots movement promoting reforestation in Haiti.

And if you really want to make a difference, check out another Timberland & Wyclef collaboration: the Yéle Haiti Earthkeepers TM Collection. Made from recycled materials, this eco-conscious footwear offers a fresh perspective on a classically hip style. And for every pair of Yéle Haiti Earthkeepers TM sold, $2 will go to Wyclef’s foundation to support reforestation."

Here's the boots, they kind of look like combat boots. Sort of, kind of nice this could be a perfect Christmas present maybe ladies for your fellas, brothers, dads. There's only 2 styles for females which are the first 2 in the first picture

2009-11-12T13:49:00.005-05:00

I got 2 out of 3 albums that I was looking forward to. Apparently when I went to buy all 3 last week, only those 2 came out. Melanie Fiona's came out this Tuesday. I will get it as soon as I have time this weekend maybe even today. One of my friend brought and she's totally in love. GO MELANIE !

So here's what I think, as much as I love Ryan Leslie with all my heart, the first album was so better then this one. Don't get me wrong I like this album but I love the first one better. I have 2 favorites so far which are "Guardian Angel" and "Zodiac".

Now this is my first time buying an Amerie album and surprisingly it is very good. I can't compare it to any of the previous work that she's done but I really really like it. She have some good ballads and good songs that you can dance to. Also those songs that you can completely relate to. I think this album is really good, every girl should have it in their playlist. You will love it!

Support the artists!

How I did it

2009-11-12T12:48:00.007-05:00

It's been a week and school has been kicking my butt. Lots of homework, papers and I'm procrastinating, watching TV on FB and Twitter. No good. But I'm just here for a little bit then off to finish my HW, I'll be back as soon as I'm done !

So a week ago I told you guys how much I was loving the purple lipstick trend and wanted to try it. On Friday, me and my girls went out for my dear friend Stephanie's birthday and we had a BLAST! Three words: Limo, bottles & good music. Wait is that four words? Anyway so I brought the purple lipstick from Sephora: ILLAMASQUA is the brand and it's called Fierce (in Tyra voice)

And this my end result which I absolutely loved!

I am wearing:
-H&M racer back tank top.
-My friend Melissa's line-LeMichou skirt.
-F21 necklace

One third of my inspiration came from Letoya Luckett so check out the new video for "Regret" and how she rocked the purple lipstick

Rihanna is speaking out

2009-11-05T15:00:00.005-05:00

You know that is my best friend in my head, and the things she went thru back in February was the highlight of the entertainment industry. Everyone wanted to know what happened but none of them were speaking out. Now both of their album are coming out they are speaking out. Of course in my mind that is show business for you, they want their album to sell. But then again if you look at it in this way, they have to take time to heal. Chris had to work on some things, and Rihanna had to also. Who knows she might be in therapy right now. Who knows what they went thru emotionally after the incident. I wasn't going to post this but after watching it I wanted to share it with some of you that may not have seen it.

& you can tell that she was about to cry and still hurt

On this Halloween day

2009-10-31T12:58:00.009-04:00

Let's Vogue in Fur. Be a Kitty and dance.
[lol I don't know that's the first thing that came to my mind don't judge me!]

Boy does these pictures make me happy. Can you imagine being on set of that photoshoot? Exciting!

Trend

2009-10-31T11:39:00.008-04:00

Have I told you that Purple was the most amazing color? So guess what's in now? PURPLE LIPSTICK! I'm not too literate on the beauty department but I know some stuff and I love lipstick. Just yesterday I was talking to my friend about being bold and trying on the purple lipstick to go out to a party or just a plain regular day. She told me to go for it and so now my infactuation with purple lipstick begins.

This trend started by who else .. my best friend in my head Rihanna
This was the first time we actually saw her wearing it

And this is when it's just blew up

So now it's everywhere. I was going thru some blogs today and I saw Alicia Keys shooting a video for her new song "Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart"

Then I see Letoya Luckett also shooting a video for her new song "Regret" which I love.

With this being such a bring and bold color, I noticed that you must have a plain neutral color such as gold, grey, light brown or nude. Top it with a little eyeliner and you're good to go. If you were also thinking about trying it you can find it at any beauty stores. I would advise to go to Mac Cosmetics because they are the best and they have the Hello Kitty collection which has the purple lipstick/gloss

Looking forward to:

2009-10-31T10:27:00.004-04:00

October is done which can only mean one thing.
NEW MOON IS COMIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGG !

I am super excited and if you're a fan like me you seen the trailer and are as excited as I am. I can't wait!
And have you noticed that everything around now is about vampires? E.I. "Vampires Diaries" on CW. Twilight started and they are just ruining with it, pretty annoying. To me at least. I don't watch the show, it's probably good tho but I am boycotting it.

*whispers* Is it any good tho?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !

2009-10-31T09:13:00.004-04:00

I'm not doing anything for Halloween this year and I really don't know why. I wanted to be a playboy bunny actually. Yes that's right a playboy bunny. I would've had me and all my friends who would be celebrating with me as bunnies. That would've been so awesome. There's always next year!

What are you guys dressing up as?

Sweet November

2009-10-24T18:21:00.005-04:00

This November will be very great. Why you ask?
The first week of November is good music week.
We got my future husband Ryan Leslie coming out with his second album.
My new 'if I was gay' girlfriend Melanie Fiona coming out with her first album.
And my old hot baby mama Amerie coming out with her third album.
Oh how the music industry is going to get my money that week.

But let's talk Ryan Leslie.
I'm sure if you guys know but I absolutely adore this man. I finally saw the Rising Icons episode! You can see me a little but the video is not that clear :/

P.S. Why did I just realized that Melanie Fiona is going to be the opening act for him at Nokia Theater on the 6th? More reasons for me TO GO !

Guess who loves Art? Look of the day

2009-10-24T00:11:00.005-04:00

I absolutely adore June Ambrose, I follow her on twitter and she's just so entertaining. Tell us fashion heads what's "haute" and what's not. Give fashion tips and fashion horoscope. But readers, I just found this pic she posted on twitter of her in the McQueen. One of my friend left a comment on the picture and said "You make it look so effortless" and she really does.

If you want to follow her too: twitter.com/JuneAmbrose

Alexander McQueen = Art

2009-10-23T23:35:00.011-04:00

Have we established that Alexander McQueen is a genius? His Spring '10 collection is all about the underworld/alien/weird and artistic. This shows you the real meaning when we say that Fashion is ART. The shapes, the forms, the details are just what made this entire collection so beautiful.

And not to mention the shoes, which apparently are 10-inches! Now I would want to be in those model's shoes literally just for that moment for two reasons:

1. So that I can be tall [probably be like 5'11 with those.. hehehe]

2. See how it feels to walk in those heels.

What I am feeling .

2009-10-23T18:46:00.002-04:00

So we all heard the new Rihanna and Chris Brown song's . [*rolls eyes* Whatever] But have you heard the new Omarion song? I LOVE IT ! It's called "I get it in" . Now when it was first leaked Lil Wayne was featured in it but now just seen a preview of the video and it says Gucci Mane is now featured. Maybe it has something to do with him not being with Young Money anymore.

Good News!

2009-10-19T23:21:00.003-04:00

GUESS WHO'S WORKING AT SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE !?!

MEEEEEEE !

I'm super duper excited! Today was my first day and it went by very well I would say.

It so was a very long day tho because I had class after [whoomp whomp]

I'm so exhausted now, I'm typing half asleep. So def will tell you guys more about it

Love.

Sophie.

Nail art .

2009-10-17T15:30:00.008-04:00

Haven't done a post about my nails for a while, so here's what I'm rocking this week. I'm not really a big fan of pink, wore it before but not my favorite. I actually did my own nails like that by myself but it started chipping and looking bad so I went to the nail salon got it fix and voila !

It's cute, I'm feeling it for now

But then earlier I went to my fellow blogger's blog urbane-diary.blogspot.com and saw the recent post she did about her nails and totally loved it. So going to be my next design.

I've seen Solange with the same thing on Oprah & if you are following her on twitter she twitpic'ed a pic with her nails.

Love it!

Just random thoughts

2009-10-17T12:38:00.009-04:00

Couple weeks ago, I got my monthly subscription of Essence magazine. I thought they weren't going to send it because they want me to renew my subscription and I want to try a different magazine. I was upset knowing that Nia Long was on the cover like Essence wanted to wait till I decided to not renew to have this issue but nonetheless I got it and I'm happy. While reading the magazine the other day, I noticed this old glamour spread with this beautiful model and I thought "This girl looks like Amerie".

Come to find out it was Amerie!

I am very happy that she's coming out with another album on November 3rd, although I didn't get her previous albums but I've heard it and they were pretty good. I feel as if this is going to be another album that everyone is going to sleep on.
I've heard couple of tracks and I absolutely love them. She has this DC thing with the drums, haven't heard any ballads but the ones I've heard made me want to dance! And that's all I want. Something I can dance to.

P.S. I think the other pictures are more pretty but these are the only ones I found online, will upload the other ones from my magazine later.

And she also did a spread for YRB magazine . One of my fav pic

Moschino Spring '10

2009-10-17T11:56:00.007-04:00

I am loving Moschino Spring collection. The highlight of the line, the cropped chain leather jacket. So great! The line gives me a little bad ass mixed e.i. leather jackets, dark colors and sunglasses with a sweet girl e.i. colors, leather jackets with flowers and cherry dresses. Another thing that stood out to me was the accessories. The shoes and the necklaces really added something to the clothes that made them really pop and you could notice everything, from head to toes.

Gaga over GaGa

2009-10-17T11:01:00.008-04:00

At first I thought maybe there's something wrong with this girl and the weird outfits. Then she continues and it just got weirder and weirder, I'm not even sure if "weirder" is an actual word but Lady Gaga is a weird chick. But we can't help but to love her, she gives us good entertainment and something to talk about it. Supposedly she has an obsession with Hello Kitty and did a photo shoot, here's the outcome:

Q-Tip Ft. Norah Jones - Life Is Better

This is why I love Melody Ehsani

2009-10-08T18:52:00.005-04:00

If you don't know who she is, Melody is an accessories and shoes designer. We've seen a lot of celebrities wearing her jewelry such as Rihanna, Angela Simmons, Ciara and Keri Hilson. Her new line is awesome, I'm so definitely getting me some Melody. Check out her website here

Marc Bouwer

2009-10-03T17:23:00.011-04:00

Adding to my favorite designers list is Marc Bouwer. He worked with a lot of celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Mariah Carey, Oprah and Sarah Jessica Parker. His pieces are very glamour like and red carpet ready. But his Spring '10 line to me looks more of an 80's glamour with big sleeves, ruffles shirt, off the shoulder and shiny and sparkling pieces. Marc is known for not using animal skin and products in his designs. His Spring '10 line is amazing you guys are going to fall in love just like I did.

I couldn't help it guys, I think this line is absolutely gorgeous. And that's why he's being added to my favorite designers list

Look of the day.

2009-10-02T19:50:00.004-04:00

Haven't done this one in a while . But Nia Long looks absolutely beautiful at the LA Premiere of Chris Rock "Good Hair". Can't wait to see this movie by the way. She just look so fab! Love her

You know how I love Solange right?

2009-10-02T19:24:00.005-04:00

She recently did a shoot and interview with Honey Magazine. I absolutely love her and these pictures are hot and very inspiring. She said something in the interview that I absolutely loved.

Let’s talk about the Honey shoot, you coming in and seeing all those crazy clothes that you fell in love with. How was your experience shooting with us?

It was amazing. You guys had the best energy of a shoot to me — I was just talking about it last night on Twitter. I really admire and study and respect the brilliance of fashion. I don’t live, breathe, eat, drink and depend on fashion to be more than what it is. I think when you have that frame of mind you really can go there. You really have no resignations about putting looks together that are just fun and fearless and that’s what you guys provided and allowed me to do so I was really happy.
