Gangsta Grills

Renown fashion plate Rihanna, is trendsetting again with her new gold grill. She’s the latest star choosing to sport mouth bling. Luckily, this mouth jewelry is not permanent.

Grills can be bad for your health.

The ADA has warned that grills can cause irritation or allergic reactions. Bacteria can also accumulate under a grill worn over a long period of time. Additionally, gum disease and cavities can be a result of wearing of a grill.

Is this a style that you can imagine pining over?

Rihanna is known for daring style choices but do you think this is a style blunder for the young pop star?

Ready for Work!

That’s really how I can describe my mindset this morning. I have a long day ahead of me. I put on this ladylike dress because I knew that I would be comfortable and  that I would feel good in it. Now I’m ready to attack the day.

I bought these earrings (which I love and only cost $10) at an event that I attended Friday night. I also won a necklace from the same designer. I will wear the necklace later this week and post information on the designer too. The jewelry line is relatively inexpensive but is stylish and can be worn with just about anything. I recently tried to make button jewelry and haven’t been able to execute it in a satisfactory way but after buying these earrings and examining them, I’ve come up with a few ideas. I foresee a future DIY project coming up.

Casual Friday

 

This morning it was particularly hard for me to drag myself out of bed. After I realized that it is Friday I was more than happy to get out of bed. There is something about Fridays that are energizing.  Maybe it because of countless possibilities of things to do over the next two days or maybe it’s because I usually wear comfy clothing to work aka jeans. Today I’m wearing my American Eagle jeans and Imaginary Voyage top I picked up from Marshalls. Both aren’t too formfitting which makes it hard to feel insecure about your physique. I do love the way the jeans fit my hips and how the legs are long and flare out as they graze the floor. I’m also wearing turquoise colored jewelry that my sister bought me when she was vacationing in the Dominican Republic. It’s the Larimar stone which is the national stone of The Dominican Republic. They can only be found there. It might be hard to see them. I’ll try to get better shots of them up here later. 

 I hope that everyone have a safe and wonderful weekend! If you are in an area that may be affected by Hurricane Irene be sure to pick up a few basic necessities from your local store.
