The GIOGO Girls=Get IN!!

a the great — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:06:09 +0000

I first got put on to the GIOGO girls this past Friday on Miss Omni Media’s Women Making history segment. The fashion forward duo Tiana Brown and Julianne Waters give their in’s and out’s on the latest trends. One of my favorite videos from them is the Nail Show edition(so Obvi lol). Here’s their take on the in’s and out’s of nail art……

Now I have to disagree with the long square nails. Even though the trend right now is the oval/ “stiletto” nail , every once in a awhile I like to go back into my square roots and get long and hood with it. I will agree with the tacky pink/white french manicure. That look screams Cinemax soft core porn. To Get in with the GIOGO girls, hit up their Tumblr www.giogo.tv and their youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/GiogoShow

What I want: Isabel Murant sneakers

Lord knows I love kicks! I have from Nike to Adidas and from Vans to Keep sneakers. I have more kicks than I do heels (which is something I need to work on lol) But every now an than I have a love for the luxury sneaker. These Isabel Murant Sneakers are the perfect way to mix high fashion and causal without being tacky.

Unfourntely these babies are $680 which is out my price range but Ash Shoes has a similar version called the Bowie which are cool too and are priced at 225.00 and are sold on Karmaloop……

I’ve been tatted!

a the great — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 16:48:04 +0000

For those if you who have followed me on twitter, you’ve probably seen it already but last week with my good friends Chandra, Dan Dan and I all got tatted! Chandra put me on to this free event sponsored by Sailor Jerry Rum who were giving out free tattoos to the first 101st people to commemorate Sailor Jerry’s 101 b-day. You got to choose up to 18 different Sailor Jerry designs and you also got a free drink after you got your tat. This event was held in NYC, Chicago and New Orleans. Being that I haven’t gotten a tat in 5yrs and it was both Chandra and Dan Dan’s first tat, this was a perfect opportunity to get one and to bond with the homies! Check it……

Even though it hurt a little, It felt good getting tatted! Can’t wait for more ink!

a the great — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 03:40:28 +0000

Chicago based Artist Dzine has comprised an awesome 192 page book on the history of nail art and some of their own artwork. This book will feature artists photographs of nail artists, nail art(of course) nail salons and its clientele. This book will also feature famous contributors such as Fab 5 Freddy, Jamel Shabazz and many others. Being a nail art enthusiast, I must have this book!! Nailed is available at The Standard until Feb 1st. There will also be a Nailed exhibit at The Standard Hotel and Spa in Miami that will feature a nail salon installation. Too bad I’m not in Miami! To my fellow nail art enthusiasts, make sure you get yourself a copy. It will change your life!
