Shoe of the Day: UNITED NUDE






 

Brown's Fashion

Maganda Mood Book

Inspired look of the day




You're an Instigator!!!

My absolute fav cosmetic line is Too Faced . I discovered this brand when I was shopping in Sephora and bought their Pink Leopard lip gloss. I fell in love instantly the moment they glistened off my lips and brought an aray of sunshine. And ALOT of people were complimenting it!!! When I ran out, I went back to get more and they ran out ;( I am currently using their Sun Bunny lip gloss, Damn I'm Hot Sparkler Gloss, Natural Eye Kit, and Shadow Insurance eye shadow primer. I love love love this brand and highly recommend it.  




Maganda Mood Book

So I decided to start adding my sense of style and ways to throw looks together on my blog. Many of these pieces will be high in price but they can surely be mimicked 4 a cheaper price!!! Here is my first look and I was inspired by the shoes!!! I wanted to make the shoes the focal point and show them off in a casual way.

Lanvin for H&M Hit Stores November 23

If your an H&M fan, then your going to want to hit their store on November 23 when Lanvin launches its highly anticipated collection exclusive to H&M. I am super excited to see what the collection looks like and I am pretty sure they will be gone QUICK!!! If your a huge fashion fan, this is 1 day you do not want to miss b/c Lanvin pieces at H&M prices??? How can you compete with that??? The collection is very Parisian if you absolutely adore Paris' style. The closest H&M that will par take in this event is in D.C. :(


Mainstream Artist of the Week: Big Sean


Christian Louboutin Men's Sneakers are FIYAH!!!!!

So I was googling trying to figure what shoes Swizz Beats threw into the crowd at the BET Hip Hop Awards...I believe they were Christian Louboutins...As I researched, I came across pairs and pairs and I'm thinking, "These are so hot!"...here a few pix I came across...here's even a pic with Swizz and Christian and Pharrell...












Now do not think these are cheap!!!  The ones I have seen so far went from about $1000-2500!!! That's a pretty penny. But the Men's line launched in 2009 and the shoes here are from collections in 2009 and 2010/2011. The Fall/Winter 2010/2011 collection features cheetah and zebra print, black and white stripes, and studs and spikes. I say they are the hottest men's sneakers this year!!!
