Good Morning!!

So from the pictures that I saw on MSN of the Indie SPIRIT Awards Anjolina Jolie is definitely preggers. Wow, they weren't kidding about expanding the brood like the Beverly hills clan but cool since hey, not many people do that anymore ESPECIALLY celebrities.

I'm up..yay!! Have some posters to make about Benin, a country in West Africa, I'm pretty excited since I have a dope concept! aahh, and I'm just sitting and "assisting" in INFT (comp basics) class.

Anyway I'm in a big cocktail ring, skinny black jeans, oversized t-shirt, and blazer kind of mood!
Now if I only had all of that within my closet though my closet is cramped for space and starting pile a little bit over on my roommate's side but you never feel like you have enough clothes. How weird!

Just wanted to post since I'm waiting for this class to end and for FOOD!

Stylistically yours,

Bonichiqua

Hello LATE New Year!

Hello, Happy LATE New Year!

Wow, I haven't posted in a long time but I am back to STAY!!
I've had so many discoveries in fashion and the internet that I am itching to share with you. So, I'm jamming to Chris Brown's song "With You" which is too cute, and one of those ear itching songs that you love for a while and ditch after your sick of it. While taking a Dr. Phil personality test on Facebook (this should be interesting--Britney incident anyone?) since people been annoying me with those app requests for this thing.

First off--The Internet is a MASSIVE Fashion treasure trove! It is more than MSN, Facebook, Yahoo, MySpace and doggone whatever people waste their times on these days! It's so weird that we have such huge access to information but many people stay confined to their little internet space.

So I'm about to enlighten some of yall with some of my new fav finds on the net

1. For all you fashion & beauty lovers and women period you should join TEAMSUGAR.COM!! It's a great community filled with the things that matter the most to you! You can join different groups and ask for help to find a certain outfit for a cheaper price, or something you like! There are so many like-minded ones over in the bustling team sugar land with advice, blogs, pictures, the latest news etc.. Join and add me as friend :-)

-second of all--> Alicia Keys is killin' it with her new album (this isn't my next point by the way lol) I love her single "Like You'll Never See Me Again". My BFF&FF and I Belt it out in the car like we're in the middle of losing a boyfriend and we are as single as can be (LOL)!

2. TheYBF.com-- CRACKS ME UP!! My roommate sometimes must wonder what the mess is wrong with me laughing at the comp screen at 2 am in the morning. This site covers mostly black celebrities and news that you don't typically here in the mainstream press. It's quite interesting and straightforward--quite refreshing I must say.

3. DailyCandy.com--For interesting fashion, food and fun finds in Chicago, Atlanta, DC, NY, LA and other big metropolises. You can subscribe to daily emails that give you delightfully unique finds in your area.

4. Lovelymagazine.com-2007 Fabbie nominated blog that is an online fashion magazine! Now fashionistas I know some of you might be like-mweh... But it truely is a hot mag full of surprises! Just hop on over, it's just a click a way!

5. My last link for this post is Supercook.com which lets you fill in an ingredient and finds recipes accordingly. The site has a clean layout and is very easy to navigate! Go WEB 2.0! (this will be another post).

Now unto the clothes

*Hold on--Alicia's album itself is HOT! Jammin' music to write to and the song "Go Ahead" yup say that girl!! Go to free.napster.com to give it a complete listen.

Cheeky Chique

So my obsession with Asian style continues...I've been scouting far and wide for quality fashion for low prices and my search led me to Asian designers in particular Korean designers. The clothes in US dollars aren't cheap but in comparison to designer fashion and quality they are.
Well I love love the website www.yesstyle.com. I love the whole baggy movement with lace peekabo and boots that's so dominant in their trends. They have some refreshing twists on trend staples!

here's some pieces:



But I don't feel like going through the whole hassle of ordering and waiting for it to get here and all that! So, I was inspired by all the layering I saw and made an cheekily chic dress for some chump change! I like making outfits and not just giving you some random top I found here and there! Hope you like!! Feel free to leave feedback!



www.Forever 21.com $9.50

www.OldNavy.com $19.75

www.OldNavy.com $39.50

For some added pizazz add a dash of accessories:
