On more than one occasion, I have found myself swooning for something fly, but only made in men sizes or style. Usually those situations typically involve a pair of sneakers or a tee with a dope design. However, I have never found myself drawn to men's jewelry. Well, that is until I got a view of these babies. Flub Tableturn watches are officially on my "Conquer and Seize" list. They are available in gold or silver, all steel wristband or leather wristband and @ Karmloop. Dopeness,

The world of colored contacts is for many contact wearers unexplored territory. But even if changing your eye color may seem a bit dramatic, it will do wonders to your look and work perfectly as a cosmetic accessory. You can use colored contacts as a source of complimentary colors to match the rest of your outfit as you’re getting ready for a night out on the town. You can use colored contacts to simply enhance your already spectacular eye color. There is hence nothing dramatic or vain about the colored contact lens. It is simply another fashion trend you have yet to try out.

 Colored contact lenses come in two different types and are produced by famous lens brand as Acuvue. For change or enhancement of eye color tints are the ones you have probably heard about, the colored contact lens that replaces your eye color with a new one. An enhancement tint enhances your natural eye color and adds contrast and thicker color density

Blame the soothing cool air my AC is blowing or the fact that the majority of the fall collections are completely out, but I have been pouring over multiple stores and lines shoe category oogling boots in every height and heel. One pair that caught me by surprise were Coach's Winslow.

I'm not really a "biker chic" type of chica, but these boots are so hot to me! I think they would look great with a pair tights and billowy top, of course when it cools down more than a smidge! Still, I love these boots!

Actress Jurnee Smollett attended the premiere of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 wearing my personal go to sandal of the moment, Urban Outfitters Suede Fringe Sandal. I have them in all three colors, but I always gravitate to my black pair. I love them! You should get a pair!

I love me some tote bags and I swoon when they are different, but not wierd. Plus, ya'll know mama loves her some Marc Jacobs. So, I was actually feeling this tote, until I started emailing it to my fellow, close-knit MJMs (Marc Jacob Maniacs). I started recieving some mixed reviews from my MJMs that ranged from "Vinyl Tote? Um, No." to "Looks cheap". So, why not let you lovelies in on the latest MJM email/text messaging/IM question of the moment: Do you like this vinyl Marc by Marc Jacobs tote? or in Stained Couture terminolgy...Yay or Nay?

Those of your fab femmes who have been coming to my site for awhile should already know how much I love Converse Chuck Taylors in all heights (low, hi, xhi). I swear, my heart and enthusiasm goes sky high when I see a new color combo or print of Chucks that hadn't seen before. Those finds usually make my day! So, needless to say, I am more than slap knee happy that I can design my own pair of Chuck Taylors!

Over at Converse.com, you have to option of designing your own pair of Converse in an array of color combos and selected prints. You choose to color of everything from the each side, the tongue, the stripe in the back and all the way to the color of the sidewall. You can even personalize your pair by adding text to the back stripe! The list or colors and prints are not huge, but they are satisfying!

The graphic above shows the latest pair that I designed for me and my pups! I am so getting them!

Mui Mui is one of those labels that quietly seduced me into falling head over heels with them! However, there are times and pieces from them that have me baffled if I like it or not. Case in point, these suede platforms from Mui Mui's fall collection. For the past couple of seasons, Mui Mui has really been into detailed and sculpted heels and shoes, which I have actually found myself swooning over. However, my verdict is still out on these. How about you? Yay or Nay?

For the past month, my computer and my face have lit up thanks to the appearance of the the flourescent totes from Cole Haan's Genevieve Beach Collection.

Although summer is quick, but melting by, I can't help but to love this summery Cole Haan totes. That purple one is calling my name in too many languages and slangs for me to comprehend!

Giving back and/or to is one of the most fufilling things that you can do with your life in any way! I try to as much as possible, especially now a days when things can seem so gloom in various parts of the world, communities, and lives. So, I am always glad to see when other people and companies still are willing to do something to benefit others before themselves, even in today's drying economy. Plus, I am even more thrilled when one of my fav and fab businesses/companies do it. So, I am sure gald that I can talk about Be. True's "be" campaign!

'What does "be" stand for?  The word "be" is associated with the company name, Be.True.  Be.True believes in 'giving back' and helping different Charities and Non-Profit Organizations.  With the "be" Campaign they have made a Signature Recycled Tag Necklace with a Single Black Diamond and a Cuff Bracelet with the word "be" carved out. 

Using these two products, be. true plans to make a difference.  Every month be. true will choose a Charity or Non-Profit group to 'give back' to with the proceeds from each sale of the Necklace and Cuff Bracelet.  Be. True truly wants to make a difference and wishes to carry this Campaign forward indefinitely!  Every time you purchase a Signature "be" product, proceeds will be donated to that Charity or Non-Profit group in your name. 

Be True will change who they donate to monthly, so if you have any ideas or something that is close to your heart, feel free to email or call Be true (www.shopbetrue.com)!  With Be.True and their wonderful clients, we all will make a difference.

When I think of a classic clutch, I think of a plain, probably black, rectangular simple line clutch that goes with everything, because their is nothing to it's design. However, Juicy Couture has a something different in mind when it comes to a "classic clutch" and after looking at Juicy Couture's Classic Clutch, I like their vision of the classic clutch better!

 I just love the raspberry lambskin leather and heavy hardware, but the side handle just stole my heart and the key to my wallet! I already ordered it, chicas!

I just love being introduced to new lines, especially if those consist of pieces that fit into my style and Delirius definitely does!

I am just swooning over their feminine, sophisticated, and chic style! The materials and cuts look absolutely fabulous and luxurious, not mention look extremely flattering to most shapes! My favorite is the trapeze top in the far right top corner. Loving that top so hard right now!

Okay, enough already!!! I got more than a handful of emails asking me where to get a pair of two tone tights like Solange is wearing on the August cover of Rap-Up magazine.

Well, Ms.Knowles is wearing a pair of flourescent yellow/orange tights from American Apparel. They come in numerous color combos that range from black/cream to purple/forest and cost $16 each.

Luckily, I am through with having to worry about buying "back to school" crap, because I already have scored by diploma and degree, plus I don't have any kids! However, I do have a couple of lil' sis who are still getting their education. Today, one them turned 18 and she is just a few weeks away from going off to attend Southern Miss. University as a nursing major. So, I can't help but to think that the 'Back to School'collection by Juicy Couture would be great for her! Any fab school-attending-chica would love this collection of designer school essentials and supplies!

The 'Back to School' collection includes everything from backpacks, messengers, binder, notebooks/folders, and much more. Personally, I am really feeling that backpack in black! I wish I could pull that off as 26 year old!

Despite it being in the 90s outside, I can't help but to enjoy all the fall fashions trickling out! The AC blowing strong over my head could factor in why I am feeling in the mood for a cute little cardigan and this one by Marc by Marc Jacobs is all my little heart desires right now.

The look of two different cardigans in one fab product is just another reason why I just love that Marc Jacobs! I would go with almost anything and stays within the apparently preppy theme that is going to be the rave this fall. This cardigan is definitely the biz!

I have been a huge fan of the Cartier love bracelets since I first heard about the idea! Cartier's lovecharity bracelet brings together eight musicians including Ashanti, Common, Janet Jackson, Fergie and Eve as ambassadors with each representing a charity and corresponding bracelet for the initiative. 

The new Lovecharity bracelet features interlocking miniature Love bracelets in 18K white gold and 18K rose gold; both bracelets are graced with the word Love and set into a knotted silk cord available in various colors, with each cord designating support of a unique cause.

Along with being ambassadors for the cause, each artist has contributed a free download at Cartier's charity playlist, which also includes my current ringtone of Ashanti's The Way That I Love You!

In addition, $200 from the sale of each bracelet will go the charity of each artist's choice.

To find out more about the Cartier LOVE bracelets, other participating musicians, and free downloads, then please visit their website.

Leave it to the hotness that is Sneakertip to hook us up with a fresh tee that lets us rock those Balenciaga "lego" heels without having the dish out the hefty price tag or having to settle for those awful looking knockoffs that Steve Madden or Bakers!

Sneaktip's Step Your Game Up tee features an illustration of the shoe on a V-Neck tee. By the way, I am having a summer long, torrid affair with V-Neck tees! So, I am all about this tee!

I am sure I am not the only one to notice the recent surge in personalized jewelry. Celebs such as Keri Hilson, Dania Ramirez and Meagan Good, who has finally decided to give her personalized bamboo  earrings a much deserved vacay, are leading the way!

Personally, I would love to get a three finger ring with my first name on it! The only jewelry that I have are all those initial rings with the odd shaped thin heart(raise your hand if you know what I am talking about!) that I acquired throughout junior high and high school! I had one each for my first, middle, and last name! FYI, my initials are LSD! Its was very fun to rock my LSD initial rings during "Just Say No" week! *memories*

Anyway, if you are looking to for a fun trend to partake in this summer, get personalizing! Hmm, I wonder does JCP still offer personalized necklaces? Ha.

I hope everyone one had a fabulously extended holiday weekend. Mine was pretty touch and go, but none the less, much needed! There were a couple of "incidents", one big one in particular, that I wished didn't happen that caused me to become a big ball of anger. However, I was able to erase that anger and incident out of my head and life thanks to a superb luxurious bath that included me indulging in my new summer love...Melba's Paradise Potion's Sweet Body Smoothie in Fresh Vanilla Raspberry!

The Sweet Body Smoothie is loaded with some of the finest ingredients this gorgeous world has to offer that will leave your skin ridiculously smooth, soft, scented, and brighten. Its one hell of a exfoliant that you can use from head to toe. Yes, your beautiful face, too!

I use my Fresh Vanilla Raspberry every morning and follow it with my lotion du jour! The smell is subtle on your skin, but incredible and lasts quite a while! I think the next scent on my list is the appletini!

Seriously, your skin will thank you!

Fendi, damn it, stop trying to steal my heart with these Disco Evening "To You" bags!! I am so in love right now that I can't even see clearly. Hmm, that could be love or the extreme glare created by all the glitz of the bag. I want them both! The black could pass for a daytime clutch and the gold would be the star of nightlife fab! Damn it, I think I need them in my life!

From an editorial angle, these torn brazilian pants are f*ckin' fabulous! However, I would even have to admit that I would have to give someone the serious side eye treatment if I saw them in a realistic situation. However, the more I examine them, the more I think they would look alright on the right chick who can rock almost anything (hmm, Rihanna, anyone?)! Anyway, Yay or Nay?

Over the past couple of years, I have been having an intensely beautiful fashion love affair with 3.1 Phillip Lim's line and these envelope clutches make me flush with a passion that I am curious about considering that the taupe one reminds me of an embellished deposit bag I see people carrying into a bank. However, the marine blue one is all I plan to work for this week!
