Night Out at Niemans

ChellBellz — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 01:35:08 +0000

My friend and I fellow Blogger Franky J went to the free shopping event at Niemans. I think I mentioned it before…well I’m sure I did.

When I first walked in I gravitated here of course.

Picture Heavy so Click for more pictures.

I had such a great time, we were greated at the door by CityShopGirl.com. We received our cocktail rings the allowed us to recieve a free blush from the Bobbie Brown Counter. I was worried since it was one color being given our to everybody, but they where smart enough to get shade that worked on everybody at least my skin tone

Cute Yummy Cookies!

There was a create your own cupcake Bar. The couple who run this bakery met on match.com, and opened up this bakery. They also have a book coming out about their story. I met the husband, he was so nice.

All the toppings!

This is my cupcake I choose Birthday Sprinkles, and if you can see the card thats the man responsible for the delicious cupcakes.

On the way up the escalators.

Another Picture of it…so pretty.

They also had a trends Report…Pictures are kinda crappy.

That’s All! What A great night!

Shining Light!

I recently had to clean up my grandmothers house she passed sometime ago, and the tenets basically trashed the place. I went in to clean up, and I found these two cool looking lamps. Well they where dirty, I scrubbed and cleaned them. Then my uncle broke one…i can’t blame him they where heavy, but I was still very upset because I told him to leave them alone.

Anyway, so look…they were pretty before, but I couldn’t take all the colors.

I wasn’t feeling this color at all!

Here is where i went buck Crazy with Candy Apple Red SprayPaint, my Digi Camera does the color no justice.

What do you think?

Currently Thinking…

ChellBellz — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:41:24 +0000

I got this idea from another blogger. I thought I would give it a shot.

Currently: Reading

I actually only read this when I’m on the bus from work and school…currently not holding my attention as much as before, but I do have a lot on my mind. I think I may have to start over.

Currently: Wish I was here… CARIBANA 2010.

Last year I went to caribana and played Mas…which is dressing up in pretty skimpy but traditional costumes and you are the entertainment for the carnival. I had such a blast, and it’s this weekend, but I couldn’t make it up there…This is the band i played with last year to give you an idea of what I had on.

Currently: obsessing about, my ASOS Nautical Tank

This is the shirt that I ordered from ASOS. It’s in the mail currently shipping from the UK. I want it here now! I ordered white though.

Currently: Thinking about remodeling.

I really want a new headboard and dresser for my room…my headboard is pretty much hanging by a thread…I want something that Low but not to a point where i can’t get up. Only thing everything else in my room is super tall…and i want some vintage stuff in there too…

Very Nice but it wouldn’t match with my room unless it was black.

Currently: Saving my Pennies for these boots.

Fall is coming and I’m probably a little too excited. I want these so bad.

Alexander McQueens (Tailored Punk Collection)

ChellBellz — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:28:42 +0000

May this talented man rest in piece. Here is a look at one of his last lines before taking his life.

In his last collection ever, Alexander McQueen leaves us on the highest of notes with his ’70s punk-and-English, gentleman-inspired collection. From Dr. Marten-esque shoes with metal-tipped toes to tailored trench-coats to leopard-print suspenders, McQueen blessed us with the signature wild elements he’s known for while still paying tribute to the British rock scene in a simplified, wearable way.

One Hour with Jason Wu

ChellBellz — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 15:40:01 +0000

Maybe you have never heard of him, but in the fashion world he is quickly becoming a household name…well he already is. Jason Wu designed the inauguration Gown that the First Lady Michelle Obama wore. The very pretty White one with White Florets. Found this Article with pictures on Elle Online.

Forty-eight hours before his fall 2010 show, the feeling in Jason Wu’s new West Side headquarters is that of calm chaos. The 27-year-old designer invited us into his 11th-floor showroom for a glimpse at the new collection, which for the first time includes sunglasses, scarves, and jewelry by Aurélie Bidermann. Fall 2010 is inspired by Irving Penn, “both his work and the way he dressed,” said Wu. The day look for fall (masculine, slouchy, and strong) mirrors the way Penn actually wore clothes. For evening, Wu took inspiration from the nuanced quality of Penn’s platinum prints, translating that visual effect into a feather dress with an overlay of tulle. “You have to look twice to figure out what’s going on with the fabric. I always think about what’s less obvious,” explains Wu. The designer, with stylist Tina Chai by his side, showed us a color-infused printed top and skirt look from the new collection. After quickly changing out the chunky leaf necklace for a more abstract style, the longtime collaborators exclaimed, in unison, “I love it.”

CHRISTIAN DIOR- Spring Haute Couture 2010

ChellBellz — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:16:08 +0000

I love it…I really love the Victorian/ Equestrian styled pieces. The nets over the hats have always been a staple of femininity in my eyes. I think it’s so sexy. The gowns…I don’t know what to say I really love the Princess Feel. I don’t see anybody rocking this on the red carpet though. Joan Rivers would probably have a field day. You get to a point where you start to see some inpiration of the 50′s and they look like June Cleaver Couture, but they are all still hot.

Fulani, Whats that?

ChellBellz — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:45:12 +0000

I have always taken pride in being that person who knows more then they probably should because I’m always curious to learn about everything. I’m always watching the history channel, biography, national geographic or something.

During the holidays I had all my dinners at my god-parents house. One hour or two around them, and you began to fill silly, ignorant and unworthy of their conversation. Not because they do it on purpose, but because they are very intellectual, and by nature… They have no issue if you are clueless, but at the same time, its no fun having a one sided conversation and just nodding your head. So whenever they mentioned something or someone, I would immediately buy a book, or get on google.

During dinner for New Years/Slash my god brothers birthday I wore a cool pair of earrings I purchased at Sheckys Girls Night out. I has no idea that they actually meant. So my god-mother she looks over at me and says. “You got your Fulani’s you look so beautiful in them” My response…while looking around to see what she meant. I see her eye balling my earrings. “oh yeah…they took forever you put in” End of conversation.

What the hell was a Fulani? I had no idea… So I did my research.

The Fulani Tribe is known as the nomadic peoples who have been influential in regional politics, economics, and histories throughout western Africa for over a thousand years. Thousands! A Muslim tribe they are responsible for bringing Islam and spreading it throughout most of West Africa. They are 6 million plus strong to this day. They are one of the oldest tribes in Africa.

While I was unable to find any information to see if maybe the earrings have a significant meaning, or perhaps they are a right of passage. I did notice that are way huge, when worn buy those of the Fulani Tribes. Our version is small. They Flatten out brass plates and twist them in these beautiful earrings. The actual post is a bit large, and probably can’t fit every bodies ears.

The Hunger Site Sells them for 19.95 and with each purchase they will donate 50 Cups of food to those in need.

African Imports has Silver Fulanis for 31.00

If you live near any ethnic markets you may be able to find them. I’m sure a simple google search will lead you in the right direction.
