Hey Nubians,

Always remember you can draw inspiration from anywhere! In this outfit of that day look, you'll see little hints of Egypt and the fierce Cleopatra.

Siempre recuerde que puede inspirarse en cualquier lugar! En este conjunto, verá un poco de inspiración de Egipto y de la feroz Cleopatra.
En este pequeño vestido negro Mira, los triángulos de oro en mi cinturón de Zara me recuerdan antiguos patrones egipcios. El pieza del pelo gla.MAR.ous me recuerda algo que puede haber usado Cleopatra ella misma, real y hermoso.

 Hello Nubians,

Who doesn't love their neutrals?! I love wearing neutral colors because I like how they look against my complexion... they give me a glowing look.

Hello Nubians,

Last week I took a trip to New Jersey to get my hair done at my new favorite salon The Pewter Club Barber Spa. I love the 1920's atmosphere in Salon and my stylist Tina is ah-MAZ-ing.

I met up with my friend and gla.MAR.ous designer Mary and she had a beautiful headband waiting for me. To my surprise I learned she called it "Nubia" which left me pretty excited and humbled. I really do love the egyptian vibe of the headband and I'm always down to wear a daring head piece. Things that decorate your hair make life a little more exciting... at least I think so :).


La semana pasada hice un viaje a Nueva Jersey para areglarme el pelo en mi nuevo salón favorito The Pewter Club Barber Spa . Me encanta el ambiente de 1920 en Salon y mi estilista Tina es maravillosa!

Me reuní con mi amiga y diseñadora de gla.MAR.ous Mary. Ella tenía una hermosa sorpresa para mi, me enteré que ella llamó una de sus cintas de pelo "Nubia". Me dejó bastante emocionada y honrada. Realmente me encanta el ambiente egipcio de la banda para la cabeza y me encanta ponerme piezas atrevidas en el pelo.




I got the flats above on black friday from Express. I am extremely picky about purchasing flats for some reason but fell in love with these. They were 50% off that day so I only had to pay 20 bucks! what a steal.

Compre estos zapatos bajitos en la vente de viernes negro en 50% de descuento. Me enamore de ellos y solo me salieron a 20 dólares! ¡qué chévere.




The view of the Manhattan skyline by the water in Jersey NEVER get old. It makes me feel as if I could stay there day dreaming forever. So much to do yet so little time... I wish my body didn't require so much sleep!

La vista del horizonte de Manhattan por el agua en Jersey nunca envejecen. Me hace sentir como si yo podía estar mirandolo el dia entero soñando siempre. Hay tanto que hacer y tan poco tiempo ... Me gustaría que mi cuerpo no requirió tanto sueño!


Happy Holidays everyone!

Hello Nubians,

I wanted to share the most recent gla.MAR.ous headband collection with you. Below are a few photos from the photoshoot I helped style and assisted with.

gla.MAR.ous headbands have a patented design that won't let you get a headache! YES, it's true. They're adjustable in the back similar to a bra strap. Most of the headbands also have a zipper that will allow you to wear the headband in at least 7 different ways! Fun stuff kiddies.

The inspiration behind the latest photo-shoot was the good ol 1950's pinup style for the most part. To purchase any of these headbands or check out some from prior collections visit shopglamarous.com

These headbands are also ideal for those insanely humid summer days when you have no idea what to do with your hair. Just put your hair up in a cute bun or pony tail and the headband is the ultimate accessory. 

Hello my dear Nubians!

Today is Christmas Eve and I couldn't help but thinking about what's next, NEW YEARS!! So much excitement. I was thinking about what I'm going to wear to welcome the New Year and how I'll be styling my hair and doing my makeup It has to look flawless so I don't look majorly drunk. I still have no idea what I'm wearing but when it comes to hair and makeup I came to these conclusions.

Hair and Makeup: Kick it up a Notch! Do something a little bit out of the usual. Welcoming change is good! I would suggest a unique up-do, crazy/insane curls, or jet straight hair.

Makeup: Go loud and sparkly but don't look like a clown. I usually have a "Bold lips, light eyes" policy or "Bold eyes, neutral lips" BUT you can mix them up a bit An example of something a bit fun and New Years worthy is the look below.


The hair is a bit playful, you may even say Chun Li inspired but you can totally dress is up if you wear the right accessories or dress. I'm wearing it with a lovely tear drop gla.MAR.ous headband to glam it up and Sorelli earrings.



When it comes to makeup, I decided RED LIPS. I am obsessed with red lips! When it comes to holidays or special occasions I'm usually sporting them. The color I'm wearing here is by Revlon.


For the eyes, I would usually not do much but since it's for New Years Eve we must glam it up! I did a double cat eye which gives off an egyptian beauty vibe and I used my Lisi Cosmetics silver sparkle eye liner to fill in the gap.

Besides that I did basic stuff: Bronzer, filled in brows a bit etc.


I hope this post helped out a bit and inspired you to play around with your looks. If you have any specific questions about products I used, drop a comment below.


Toodles,

Hello Nubians,

Though my prom days are far behind me, I thought it was important to talk about a prom dress. Last week I was invited to the Prom Girls "Twitter and Tiaras" event at Dylan's Candy Bar. It was like candy and glitter exploded in a room, a rad time indeed.  

When I was in high school I almost didn't go to prom at all. I was the rebel child, I'm sure many of you can relate. I had a very fuck this! I don't care attitude about the whole extravaganza. But I did go. I just didn't really care how I looked so much. I picked up a little black strapless dress with a little lace and called it a day... It was a very Audrey Hepburn moment... black dress, pearls, white gloves, POW I'm done. Though I don't regret my look THAT much (I did say it was Audrey Hepburn inspired, Duh!) Sometimes I wish I would have chose a more extravagant sparkly, glittery, all up in your face dress like the pretty ones below.
 

Anyway, lets talk about this kick-ass event. There was a DIY station hosted by the ever so talented Grace Atwood and a bunch of bloggers were making hair combs and headbands. All easy and fun pieces you can rock to an event like prom.




That's all I have to say about this for now folks. Perhaps I shall return with some fun prom ideas for my younger readers. Till now, you can check out some pretty dresses over here.

Hello Nubians,

I know I've been pretty much MIA on the blog lately but I had to take a break. Between my crazy work schedules and this horrible NYC weather with Sandy and Nor'easter I have just been terribly uninspired. On that note, I'm not one to come and make a million filler post on my site. I am trying to gather all my positive energy into doing the things I love again so bare with me! it happens to all of us.

On a separate note, TA DA! I dyed my hair again. From a crazy strong/bold red to this dark purple. I would say this color is a mix between purple and brown. It was terribly difficult to take the red out and the color stained my hair, my hair dresser put this color on to cover up what was left of the red. I wasn't too crazy about it at first, but the color has grown on me.

Well that's all for now. Be back soon with some content I've been holding back.

Oh, and if you're wondering, my headband is gla.MAR.ous.
