<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm taking my throwback to the cinema. I absolutely LOVE old movies and "It's Always Fair Weather" is one of my faves. This particular scene in the movie gives me such a warm, delighted feeling that I can't help but put quite the rather large smile on my face :D For real! I think I watch this at least once a day for a good pick me up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gene Kelly is boss on them skates! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd like to see BrakeSk8 try this!</div>

I don't know why this song has been running through my head, but it is quite hypnotizing. This Cher tune covered by Nancy Sinatra is the sole reason why threw a bag of popcorn in the mic, popped in my Killl Bill DVD and sat myself down to watch this Tarantino flick at 1am last night! For some reason I had me a hankering to watch me something gory.</div>

Don't let these over-exposed photos fool you. This, what appears to look white shirt dress that I got from Aritzia is actually in a minty green hue. I got the boy to peel away from his video game for a few moments to take these ;) </div>

Hi! This was a shoot I did back a few months ago and I wasn't gonna bother posting this because I'm not the biggest fan of this outfit. It was one of those times where I didn't look in the mirror and the boy just said I looked fine because he just wanted to finish taking pictures and get back to his game "Toya, you look good in anything you put on." he says. Meanwhile his eyes weren't even looking my way. But I figured it's been a minute since ya'll seen an outfit post and the boy was in no particular mood to take any pictures for me today so here it is!</div>

I think I need to start hittin' the actual "streets", as in sidewalk, for these on the street posts. But never the less here's another (I know 2 in a row, crazy!) I saw this girl out shopping with the boy. What caught my eye was them leopard creepers. Whoo! Now I dunno if creepers are really my thing, but they looks soooo cool on her with the way she styled them and all! She told me the website at where she bought them but I plum forgot!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks again Reesey!</div>

Hi there! I know what you're thinking, "sweet boots" Precisely what I thought when I saw this guy sittin' all GQ on a couch the other night out at the lounge. I love his hi-cut deck boots and grandpa style sweater with silver hardware. Or should I say Dad's sweater, this was his father's sweater from back in the 70's that he stole and kept for himself. Me and Tom (I can call him that cause we tight like that now!) had ourselves quite the lengthy conversation about his style and love for music. He actually plays guitar for a local band here in Winnipeg called <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hey-Pilgrim/106187669463316" target="_blank">Hey pilgrim</a>. He is officially my new favorite red head, which is ironically the title of one of their songs.</div>

Thanks Tom</div>

Hello my fellow readers! Welcome to my first DIY and hopefully not the last. Here's the story to what inspired me to make this wonderful floral halo. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So me, my girl Kimiya and my good girlfriend Sherri from <a href="http://sherriamour.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">sherriamour </a> went shopping and spotted so many fun floral headbands. But they were foolishly priced from $5-$10 bucks (A little too rich for my blood) So I decided to go out to my good ole dollarstore, purchase a few bunches of flowers and make my own halo! Everything, including the glue gun, cost me a whoppin' $13 bucks! It's so easy to make and you can make a ton!They also make great gifts. Here's how you can make your own...(My apologies, I think I mighta missed a step or two :/ )</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SUPPLIES: Twine, plastic flowers, elastic headbands, felt, scissors, cutters (all of which you can purchase from your local dollarstore) glue gun ($4 from walmart)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Cut the head of the flower from the stem. I used about 5-6 flowers per headband</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Take your felt and cut out 1" circles</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Using your twine measure the circumference of your head. Minus 4"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Cut out 4" of the elastic headband </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Cut out a small rectangle of felt and using your glue gun glue the twine, elastic and felt together</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. Now take the 1" circle you cut out earlier, your flower and glue gun and sandwich the twine in-between. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. And your done! You can fun with yours, add a ton of flowers, mix up the colors. Do whatever your heart desires! Happy DIYing!</div>

Ever since I got a camera I wanted a decent looking bag to carry it in and dis one's real nice ;) <a href="http://www.lovetheit.com/product_details.php?prodid=thebossi-gravel#thebossi-gravel_img" target="_blank">THEIT</a> bossi bag has got's the fixings for the average camera inside yet it looks like a purse on the outskirts. And no one would ever know! And it comes in a range of different colors. But this bag costs a penny! Ringing in at $159 (A little too rich for my blood) So when I came across this <a href="http://inhonorofdesign.blogspot.com/2012/02/i-heart-my-readers-giveaway-theit.html" target="_blank">giveaway</a> hosted by Anna from <a href="http://inhonorofdesign.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">IHOD</a> You best believe I hopped on the bandwagon and entered that contest! Go enter, it's easy!...Just don't win, I want it!</div>

I found this hilarious post about leggings/tights compared to pants on BuzzFeed. What do I think you ask? Well I say meh! Who am I to tell you what to wear? Wear whatever you want to wear however you wish to wear it. Except (and these are the only exceptions) if you're sporting a camel toe, or a mean VPL (visable panty line)<br />
<br />
What are your thoughts on leggings? Think we should you keep your bum covered?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of camel toes...Anyone remember this song?</div>

Hello everybody! Good times this weekend ya'll! My good friend Amber invited us to check out <a href="http://www.thenoblethiefs.com/home.html" target="_blank">The Noble Thiefs</a> in concert. They're my new favorite ;) Their music is a mix between 50's doo wop and ska, rock...best I can explain it lol. They put on such an energetic show that everybody was up dancing. Their stage voice is even enticing, kinda reminds me of the way Christina Aguilera or Beyonce would work up their audience. You know, that soulful, boisterous, sassy voice. "Everybody, say hellooo to Jonathan on the trombone!" ~ "This song...goes out to all the wonderful ladies in the audience tonight!"</div>

Ain't he cute?! Say hi to baby Anders! I notice whenever I go to parties I don't start taking pictures until the bitter end. Well at least it's something right? I went to my friend, Alexis, baby shower. It was such a cute shower, with great food and people. Seeing all the momma's and cute babies there makes me want to have a little caramel bundle of cuteness of my own!</div>

My bad! This was actually my weekend 2 weekends ago but imma still share it. With the boy outta town for the week I have been having me some quality time with my momma and sis. On Friday me and my baby sis got the munches and took a late night drive down to Carlos and Murphy's restaurant for a heaping plate of hot, cheesy, spicy nachos. Let me tell you! We did not walk away unsatisfied. Now I did capture this moment on film. But where are these pictures?! Lord only knows.</div>

On Saturday a few friends and I attended the last sandbox magazine party. There were so many intriguing faces in the crowd and they were dressed to impress! My outfit definitely did not bring it. But other then the way I was dressed the party turned out to be good times! The music was too good. It's quite refreshing to hear some fun, old school beats like <i>MJ,</i> C<i>ool and the gang, and Deee-Lite.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was also performances from this gal here <a href="http://flosoul.com/" target="_blank">Flo</a>, she performed a live show which was soo good. Check out that hair!</div>

I'm quite proud of myself for making this dessert that I just had to post it! Lately it seems as if I have been failing in my wifey duties so, I threw on my apron and got myself in the kitchen. I've been cooking dinner everyday, making the boy lunches and I even tried my hand at baking, FROM SCRATCH! I decided to make the boy his favorite pie in the world, Key lime pie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think he scarfed down that slice of pie in 3 bites. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So I think I have a thing for TWA's (Teeny weeny afro's) because here is another gal who I think looks striking with her natural tresses. I bumped in to Tolu this weekend at an event party rocking her new do. And to be honest I didn't even recognize her. I was coming down the stairs, and I spotted her walking towards me. My brain started thinking a million different things "Cooool! A natural! She's so pretty! Man this girl looks so good with that do! Toya stop it, you're staring. Hey wait... it's Tolu!"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I just had to share her and her hair with you guys. So here a little Q & A </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Q: Tell us your hair story; what led to your BC (Big chop)</span></b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">A:</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Around April of 2010 I was accepted to the study abroad program in France. On top of everything else that I had to put together for my year away, I was stressed about what I would do to my hair. Since my French was not on par with fluent, I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to find a hair dresser I liked, or that I wouldn’t be able to explain what kind of style I wanted (who knows how to say “chemical relaxer” or “texturizer” in French anyways?). So as I sat in the chair at Freshair Boutique – my go to salon in Peg Nasty – I looked at Praise, my stylist, and said – cut it off. It was as simple, or rather, as mindless as that.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A: </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt;">Before I had decided to cut my hair I had not relaxed it in over a year. So about 4 years now. Although, when I first cut it in 2011, I did texturize it. Does that count?</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">A: </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well like any good Nigerian mother, my mom looked me in the eye and exclaimed, “Oh my God…(dramatic pause, face aghast)…I am not pinching anything” referencing how she will never braid my hair again haha. Other than that, everyone loved it. I got a lot of, “it suits you” and, “you’ve grown into yourself”. I was surprised because history has taught me to hate my hair and that everyone else hates it, but that simply is not true. Sure there was the odd time I knew people were negatively judging, but overall, I think that a lot of Black women admire the daring to go natural and a lot of women in general admire a woman who has the courage to go short.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A: </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;">Do what makes you feel good. Going natural and short worked for me because I was tired of the 8 hour braiding sessions and the scalp burning relaxers. Since I have gone natural, my hair is stronger, and softer than it has ever been. Not to mention that it flat irons better than it did before. Go natural if you want to try something new and if you don’t like it, there is always a box of Dark & Lovely waiting at your local Walmart!</span></div>

Sigh...The 90's, early 2000's sure was a good time! Wasn't it? I had me quite the crush on these guys back in the day. Ain't it funny how we make fun of our parents for the music they listen to because it's so outdated? Well I have a feeling that our children are going to be making fun of us, because I don't know about you but Imma still be listening to these guys when I'm 60, 70, 80 years old.<br />

Hi there! I love shopping the boutiques at <a href="http://www.osbornevillage.com/" target="_blank">Osborne Village</a>. Although the prices are a little to rich for my blood I still love experience. While looking through <a href="http://hushclothing.ca/shout.html" target="_blank">Shout</a> I saw her <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, 'Trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 16px;">↓ </span>This is Cynthia rocking such a cool pair of vintage, red ronsir eyeglasses and her fathers button up. I know right?! I would never have guessed it, looks so nice on her. I think I'm gonna start dipping into the boys wardrobe ;) Thanks Cynthia!</div>
