smfh.

i've been slacking with LIFE lately.

i need a fucking WAKE-UP call..

no internet at bay state.

fuck am i paying 16 gees to live on campus then?
oh that's right, to have no internet connection.
they must think i'm rich like most of these kids out here.
& i have no cell phone.
it's crazy how much it sets me apart from everyone else.
i'ma start chilling on the corner of newbury w.a cup asking for change.

if you have time, read this "essay".

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light & shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (& theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery –celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “its not where you take things from –it’s where you take them to.”

Word. And I stole THAT.

..p.s. SHEESH.

Maestro Knows - Episode 10 (Va$htie Kola) from Maestro Knows on Vimeo.

i'm so thankful to have started X SQUARED on newbury street at the time that i did! just in time to cop these sexy 2's. they never make anything special for the ladies now a days (jordans wise, most would agree).. Vashtie Kola, thank you! you are one of the dopest women known to mankind. everyone who knows me, knows that i do not rock jordans anymore. except for these sexy 1's that i wear once a in a blue. i didn't ever plan on buying jordans again, i don't care much for kicks anymore. you kind find me rocking vans or a few H&M skippies; that's really it. but working at a sneaker store is making me feel a certain way about kicks again. & it shouldn't, lol.

 fun fact #1: i got my 1st pair of jays when i was 16, the Cardinal 7's.

fun fact #2: i own a couple 5's, one 7, a couple 8's, a couple 1's, and one pair of dub zeros.

(i clearly didn't care to collect them much.)

P.S. i need you in my life, Vashite Kola ♥

good looks to chloe & marquis,

peep their dope ass blogs please (:

...idk. what do you think?

Simple 2 page essay I wrote for my Fashion Merch. class. We had to pick a trend for this fall & talk abt it..

Fall Trends 2010:
Menswear Bottoms

Some of the most comfortable materials and fabrics in the world are worn by the lucky men placed on this planet. It is the woman who truly knows what the saying “beauty is pain” means, fore we have endured this pain for centuries! Little does man know, being pretty and feminine come with more work than meets the eye. Fortunately for females, fall 2010 reintroduces women to one of the most genius fashions ever invented: menswear bottoms.

Who knew there was a way for women to look sexy and sophisticated in menswear bottoms? They are great for a long day at work, a night on the town with some friends, or even a nice dinner with your special someone. They also come in dress shorts that can be worn with leggings, as Tommy Hilfiger beautifully paired the two for his fall collection. Many times, you can find these trousers worn with a button up shirt, a crewneck sweater, or even a nice blazer to match. Essentially, it can be paired with just about any top. A nice stiletto, pump, or platform can be worn to elongate the legs, making the woman look very tall and slim.

Menswear bottoms can be a very nice transition from skirts or dresses. The autumn is when the weather changes from warm to chilly, leaving us women to freeze with our bare legs exposed! With pants like these, we don’t have to worry about being caught in the cold. They are also a good way to hide our favorite socks with silly designs on them that others may find a little embarrassing!

In the September issue of Vogue for this fall, one of the fashion editors Sally Singer did a short piece about Ralph Lauren’s “flat front trouser and cut to fit a woman” (Singer, 488). She described her experience with Ralph Lauren and his team creating the perfect suit for her, which cost roughly $5, 800. Singer also tried to convince the readers of how great of an investment it would be since the look is so classic and can be brought back at any given time period. Although Ralph Lauren is a trusted and prestigious brand, someone like me would never be able to afford such a high priced suit. Fortunately for the women with lower class statuses, there are stores like Express, New York & Company, and Ann Taylor who will satisfy our needs and make us feel like a million dollars anyway!


Menswear bottoms are very practical to the modern woman of 2010. For example, waking up in the morning and getting ready for the day can get so tedious when finding an outfit is the main focus of your “to do” list before work. With menswear bottoms, it requires less thinking since it can be worn with almost anything. This way, with showering, making breakfast, preparing for work, and actually getting to work, picking out clothes is the least of your worries.

I feel as though this fall trend will last longer than just this season, and probably up until the end of winter. Menswear bottoms have been around for so long, and although they go out of trend, they do not go out of style since it is such a reoccurring trend. As learned in class, clothes can make a woman feel and look like something they aspire to be. Through menswear bottoms, they can make her feel like she works in a big law firm alongside the biggest lawyers in the field, even if she doesn’t. They can motivate a woman to want to become more than what she is. In my case, menswear bottoms remind me of my sister and how she’s come such a long way since my parents moved to America. She makes a statement in her trousers with all her responsibilities of being a wife, having a family, and maintaining a job. Clothes should inspire a woman. In my opinion, this fall trend will be a great success!

random entry.

when somebody asks me to tell them about myself, i go blank.
it's weird to just talk about me, unless i'm writing an essay for school.
ask specific questions and you'll find out everything you wanna know about me.
i'd say peep my blog, but i don't update frequently enough.

(place broken heart here)

Kanye ft. Pusha T "Runaway" - Live VMA performance.

2010 MTV Video Music Awards - More VMA Video

♥

if anyone cared to watch the VMA's this year..

it shouldn't have been me!
but the fashion was great..
not much a fan of katy perry, but she did her thing.
trey songz and drake looked delectable.
rihanna looked...... *no words*.
ke$ha looked like trash (funny, she was actually wearing it too).
you already know GAGA made a statement with every outfit.
and god bless travis mcCoy & pharrell williams' sexyness.

it hurts my heart to say that drake's performance didn't impress me.
but KANYE ended the VMA's with a bang,
& made me wish i only watched for his performance ♥

i'll be posting his performance once i find decent footage.

or this one? sheesh.

i'm seriously thinking about being rih-rih
 for halloween this yr O:)

UM,

I JUST WANNA KNOW WHY THIS VIDEO HASN'T GOTTEN MUCH PLAY....



a random entry, on a random note pad i found.

8/29/10

10:40 pm

it's been awhile since i've put a pen to some paper. i saved this very note pad from being thrown out today at work. there was nothing wrong with it, i didn't quite understand why someone would think to throw away something so useful. when i asked why it was in the trash, my supervisor said, "no one needed it." ..i felt like saying, "you didn't need those shoes you bought yesterday either, but you're still wearing them" ....... the fuck?

"night beautiful queen momilo"

& just like that, he put her to sleep...

lol* ♥

this rapper named, Blu.

props, KIT.
this one's for you..

i'm sure the VMA's will disappoint me, but..

i'll be watching for Drake and a select few ♥

2010 MTV Video Music Awards

Gaga for Vanity Fair.

have you gotten your September VF copy yet?
i think that grey/silver looks wonderful on her..
the prettiest i've seen Lady G!

 

dorightandkilleverything.

i loved drake more after seeing this video.
ugh, wait til you see him lick his lips :x sorry lol.

 

Drake "Miss Me"

- shoutouts to Marquis, my dude always got the goodies! ♥

a conclusion.

i've come to the conclusion that..
i'm going to start making our visits a lot shorter.

that way,
things won't get so dry during the week between us.

tasha bleu, i love you!

from our "Love Lockdown" shoot.

a quote.

"Everything in life is temporary, because everything changes.
That's why it takes great courage to love,
knowing it might end anytime but having the faith it will last forever."



a friend of mine (@iRiptheRunway),
posted this on her fb today.
it's so sad, yet true..
fingers crossed!

"the ultimate hip hop couple", so we've been titled.

whenever i get the chance, you can find me rocking by his side at a show..

whether it be his own show, or a show that he's attending as a "fan for the night".

i don't claim to be at all learned when it comes to hip hop.

but i have a love for it, one that grows every time i learn of someone new.

of course my musical taste still differs from his..

naturally, since he's an artist & channels his emotions thru it.

but all i know is we both love music. & hip hop.

have you seen us at a show yet? it's a sight to see!

sometimes we forget that we're even standing next to eachother.

last night we got the pleasure of seeing Curtains in action.

oh & this MC Theo Martins that opened up for him too!

those two were the best acts of the entire night..

idk man, i could feel their music hit me. especially Curtains.

maybe kus we were front row, & in between both speakers?

i still can't say he's my favorite tho..

until this this day, K.I.T. remains my favorite artist.

no, i'm not saying this because he's my bf.

i'm saying this 'cause i actually know the dude.. inside & out.

when i hear him rap, i know it's true. it's real.

knowing an artist changes everything.

this is the only thing he has on Drake.

yea, i said DRAKE!

idc if you're judging me right now..

go right ahead! i'm still me, & you're still reading my blog!

but what's better than being your boyfriend's biggest fan?

...why, being his girlfirend of course ♥

also, please check out:

i wanted to write an entry today..

but my mind seems to be blank : /
ughhhhhh.

hungry. can you fill my appetite?

i'm going to treat the world as if it were an apple,
and take the hugest bite out of it possible.
don't be upset if you go missing off the left
or right hemisphere of the earth.
that means, i've already devoured you.
& don't you dare think i'm not coming back for more..

xoxo,
CAKES.

since my last blog entry,

i've done exactly what i said i was going to do:
LIVE MY LIFE!
& boy oh boy, has that decision been great :)
things are starting to look up for me.
aside from being in debt about $800
(security/dorm deposit for school, $500
& my t mobile phone bill of $300+),
being happy lately has been pretty damn priceless!
of course i'm still stressed in some form,
but there's always that "necessary" stress we all need in life.
otherwise, what would things be like if everything were so easy?
i probably would have committed suicide early, *gasp!

^ in this pic, enjoying the night with my girls Pearl & Betty ♥

duhhhh, debbie!

i've realized that there's nothing i can do but live MY life.
so that's exactly what's going to happen! join me if it suits you.
& if it doesn't suit you? find someone's life who will.

"in for the kill" by la roux ♥

We can fight our desires
But when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Whether we like it or not
They say we can love who we trust
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions
And what are feelings without emotions?

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand

I hang my hopes out on the line
Will they be ready for you in time?
If you leave them out too long
They'll be withered by the sun
Full stops and exclamation marks
My words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions?
Can this bridge cross the ocean?

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand

Let's go to war
To make peace
Let's be cold
To create heat
I hope in darkness
We can see
And you're not blinded by the light from me

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand

my playlist lately:

drake's comback season.
cole's the warm up.
mickey factz' the leak vol. 1 & 2.
west's 808s & heartbreak.
& la roux (la roux).

that is all for now.

think before you speak..

kus a lot of people don't.
i mean, i guess i don't have anything here in RI either.
ouch!


freak it.

K.I.T.
