Back to School Shopping

Soon many will be going back to school/ starting a new school. For many people that means back to school clothes shopping. Most Love this time of year, and a few weirdo’s (lol j/k) hate it. Just to make it easier i’ve compilled my own back to school shopping guide with a list of stores and a couple of key pieces

Citi Trends: Think Burlington, or Ross. Great fashion at great Prices

Ashley Stewart, Lane Bryant, Avenue, Torid, Asos

K&G is great for the more dressy pieces

Dots: this store always has hidden jewels and has the best return policy

Simply Fashions: Not my favorite store for bottoms but they do have some great pieces

  • A pair of colored Jeggings
  • A cute Statement Tee
  • A good Tennis Shoe
  • A denim Button up
  • Belts Belts Belts
  • A knee length pencil skirt
  • Good Shapewear
  • A pair of black trousers
  • A nice fall/winter coat
  • Statement jewelry
  • A Smile

Everyone can look like a million bucks no matter what the budget. One of my favorite things to do is to shop the salvatioin army. Vintage peices can always take an outfit from drab to fab. I could go on and on about what should be in your wardrobe and such but I think i’ll keep it short and sweet

Peace. Love, and Blessings to you all

XOXO June

Class of 2012

It’s that time of year again. Time to start really thinking about graduation, what to do after graduation (college, grad school, etc…), and how to turn your classroom experience into a job/career. Many high school seniors are thinking about what to major in when they get to college. One of the scariest and most costly thing people do (including myself) is go to college without a clue as to what you want to do with your life. I personally spent a lot of time in college not knowing what I wanted to do. I knew I liked fashion and entertainment, and music but for the most part I wasn’t aware that there were more than designers, models, and singers. I could go on and on but I wont. What I will do is give some advise. Take the time to really research the things you love to do and how you could possibly work to make one or more of those things a career. Also, God perfects those things that concern us (Loose translation of Psalms’ 138:8). Therefore if you really have a passion for something pray, and work hard at it. If it is in Gods will it will definitely happen.

 

Stay blessed and have a great day

C/O 2012 YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

A Fashioncap Of Last Nights Live Recording with Kierra Sheard and BRL

So if you were as unlucky as I was you weren’t able to go to chicago for Kierra Sheards live recording Featuring BRL. Lucky  for us social network sites like twitter are able to keep people with real time stats of whats going on.

So lets start with what she wore:

JESUS!!!! I need her jacket in my life ASAP. For the recording Kierra Wore all black consisting of black boots, black pants, a black shirt and A black jacket with Bold Shoulders and rhinetone Star detailing (I need this jacket in my life). Brl did black tops or jackets with shoulder embleshments. The men of Brl did all Black with Blue ties.

I must be honest. I was scared about what she was going to wear. While I love her music, Her fashion tends to be a miss a lot of times for me. This time i am Very pleased with what I saw. Very simple but very bold at the same time. I would have loved to see her with a statement necklace but either way I give the fashion fot the night an A. Seeing that I wasn’t able to attend the festivities. The fashion is the only thing I can really comment on. So, Did you go? if so how was it? will, you be buying the album? What was your favorite part of the recording?

P.S. Shout out to Kierra for getting up for class the very next day!!!!!!

Same blog, Different Format & Focus

So, Welcome to my Blog. This blog used to be called “Detroit Urban Beauty” but I decided that it needed a change. I wanted to do this from a perspective that you don’t see a lot of. Instead of being just from a Detroiters perspective, it now has a more christian focus. When Shopping I find myself looking for what I like along with what is respectable. Many people think that in order to be fashionable you have to be half naked. I partially blame the media for that. The purpose of this blog is now to educate, inform, and enlighten you on everything a “Christian Fashionista” wants or needs to know. So check out the different tabs at the top and…………………..

 

Have a Blessed Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fall is here….. Fashion!!!!!!!!

Fall has officially arrived. This is the season everyone has gotten settled back in school. You start Stocking up on Coco and Tea, And Fashion has a drastic change. More shades of orange and brown emerge. Instead of using bright pink or green nail polish you start pulling out those dark plum colors and muted shades. My favorite part of fall is being able to pull out those fabulous boots. I have booties, some that are calf length, knee high, thigh high, flats heels, I basically have just about every type of boot. I know a lot of matching is a fashion don’t, but I love when my fall jacket and my boots match. It’s just such a clean look. Here are a list of things I think you might like for fall

*Cow Neck Sweaters* These are one of those pieces I love because they are just so easy to wear. you don’t need a lot of accessories when you wear one of these. If you find one like the one shown you can pair it with a pair of tights and some cute boots and be on your way. Another way to wear this is of course with a suit. That way you are fashionable and professional looking at the same time. Another reason I like these is because I would always forget my scarves whenever I went somewhere so I would just rigg my collar to fit like a scarf.

*Jeggings* I love these for the simple fact that they fit absolutely perfectly. This is for us girls who have so much hips and booty that most pants don’t fit right. I would say that if you tend to be cold like myself, wear a pair of leggings underneath or even some long-johns(thermal pants). They come in a lot of different washes and can be found for as low as $10 at burlington coat factory or shoppers world.

*Boots* Oh how I love fall boots. All the different styles and shapes. The only thing is if you are short you have to be careful what length of boot you wear because some of them can make you look even shorter.Of course everyone has the basic brown and black colored boots, But I think every person should have a pair of grey, something with a print, and pewter colored boots.

*Jackets*

A jacket can sometimes complete a look. The jackets shown are some of my favorites for fall. They are simple and stylish. Unlike many of the ones that were on the market last year, more of these are coming with hoods which can look so cool with the right hairstyle!!!!

What are some of your favorite fall fashions and how are you transitioning your closet from summer to fall?

My journey into the world of makeup!!!!

So as I stated in previous post I am a freelance MUA (make up artist). I love crazy fun makeup looks. In my opinion the brighter the better. I have not been doing this for long which causes some people who have been in this industry a while say that I should get more experience before I start calling myself an MUA. What I have learned in the past  few months hopefully will take me a long way. some of the things I’ve learned from other MUA’s

  • You can find great makeup at all price ranges.
  • Just because someone has been in the field longer than you have, it doesn’t make their work any better than yours
  • Quality brushes are everything
  • Practice Makes perfect
  • Like anything else, this is a competitive field, make sure it’s what you really want
  • You are a Brand, Always display excellence!!!!
  • Treat every client like they paid a million bucks for your services, you never know what opportunities can come from it!!!!!!!

Makeup artistry is absolutely fun but it is work just like anything else.

My tips for getting started!!!

  • Dont try to buy everything at once
  • Shop for deals
  • Make sure you have business cards (for the NYX pro discount this is all you really need)
  • Find a MUA you really like and try to study their work and techniques
  • Suscribe to The Powder Group
  • Try to invest in a trip to Imats if you can
  • Be confident
  • This is so cliche but  ”Just Do IT”
  • Dont be afraid to make mistakes ( the more mistakes you make, the more you have to learn from)
  • Make friends with local photographers and models

Thats all I have for today! Im still learning things everyday and I always will be!!!!!!!!

I'm Back

I’m Doing it.

Finally Beginning to sew some pieces to show off. and with my sewing machine and not by hand like i usually do. i am about to finish a shirt i started a couple of days ago. “I work 5 days a week, so i can’t do what i want to do everyday”. I am also working on a sweater dress. (wish me luck).

My favorite piece of jewelry

the picture quality isn’t that great but when i tell you that i absolutely love this necklace. It’s a cool leopard print and it was only 10 dollars. CANNT WAIT TO WEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then there is my dream ring. Some trends you just cant help but love and for me this is one. I love multi finger rings but they are hard to find on a budget. I’m glad I only paid 11 dollars for this one because someone told me they paid $300 to get one made. that is bill money!!!!!!!!!!!! I WEAR THIS ONE EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
So it’s almost time for the semester to start and i am not worried because all my classes are online. on top of that these are y last 2 semesters as a business studentand i finally get to finish the last of my fashion courses ♥
thats all for now.
