Now I've always been a very well rounded girl when it came to fashion. I like my shoe game to be tight and my clothes to offer edgy, subtle sophisticated, realness. Does that make sense? LOL! So I'm no stranger to a good pair of sneaks (jordans, creative recs, nikes, the list goes on and on).

Well Ms Teyana Taylor a very well known sneaker head has turned the sneaker world upside down with her additions to the well known and diverse culture. Teyana Taylor teamed up with Adidas Originals and was asked to create a pair of sneakers that reflected Harlem. And boy oh boy did Teyana deliver!!!! She came up with the concept of Harlem GLC (Good Luck Charm) a line of sneaks that are not only original but still on trend with the colors and prints that a high fashion designer would love to use. Check out the first pair she released earlier this year in February:







The sneakers are BAD! Teyana and her team are GENIUSES! I dig the creative way to utilized the back of shoe with the black bands. But the only drawback I have is that they are $140 a pop! Thats a lot of dough for some sneaks. I understand they were custom designs, by a celebrity, and are a part of the Adidas originals. And I know what y'all are saying: Tiffany you just confessed to owning several pair of high end sneakers yourself. Before y'all beat me up let me explain. Every pair of Jordans, Dunks, Bigs, Creative Recs or what have you that I own were bought for me. I have never spent a dime of my own money over $100 for a pair of sneakers. So I am not, nor have I have claimed to be a true sneakerhead I just appreciate the culture, thats all.

Teyana Taylor I'm sorry to say I don't follow you on Instagram or Twitter and I had idea about shoes but I gotta say these are awesome. Big UPS to you girl. You mad style and you got some big props from me!!!!


RATING TIME!!!!!


OVERALL: 10 OUT OF 10 - Great concept, great design. Its got the vibe that every sneakerhead secretly and publicly wants: Originality with a hit of celebrity luxury.
COST: 6 OUT OF 10 - Only because its not an affordable price but given the high end value of the shoe is actually affordable for people who have $140 to spend on some sneaks. Me...sigh, I'll just admire from a distance!
SHOE DESIGN: 10 OUT OF 10 - She kept the true nature of a sneaker. But jazzed it up with beautiful bronze colored snakeskin metallic leather that was brought out by black accents. Along with the faux studded tongue and very creative black band heel.

Calvin Klein's Spring 2014 collection is ready to see! All in all I can say is this it's certainly avant garde but not in a good way. It doesn't look like something people would wear on a normal basis or something that could be worn in New York or LA high society. It just looks like he threw the pieces together but I guess that's their version of fashion. In his artistic vision. I see several pieces that I really like and one or two that has potential to be something better with a little change in how it clings to the body or how it hangs. To dive deeper into an explanation of the collection some of the pieces looked unfinished (which I suppose is what the look was going for) and poorly put together. See for yourself:

Dunk your hands in a bowl of ice-cold water. “The cold water freeze-dries polish, sealing and hardening it quickly. Allow nails to air-dry for two minutes, then submerge in ice-cold water for three minutes, which is enough time for the polish to harden completely.

In Makeup you advance by doing. There is no shortcut you just have to get up and do it! I have gotten better in my makeup application. My only problem area is my eyebrows but I am working on it ;). Anywho here are some photos of my makeup progression. And some Videos!

In the first half of my makeup applications I was only using one color and not doing any blending or crease cutting. It looked good enough, gave me a small pop of color. In the second of half of my makeup applications you'll be able to see how I began to use certain techniques in my makeup: crease cutting, playing with dark and light colors, giving my eyes shape and dimension.














These are just the different ways I have done my makeup. I've been able to evolve in makeup because I kept at it. Makeup is an enhancement tool. You can do so many creative things with makeup and its simple small techniques that can help you to achieve everything from smokey eyes to simple everyday looks. Just try it out. I can give out a list of YouTubers that will help you to mold your technique. Just let me know if you would like the list in the comment box below!
