Summer Tunes pt. 2

In the previous post, I created outfits for my top played songs. Of course, I'm not done with exposing your favorites. Below are more outfits and songs. Like any you see? Enjoy your summer!

"Talk That Talk (ft. Jay-Z)" by Rihanna

I'm loving Rihanna's new album. Hip hop is most definitely one of my fave genres! In this outfit, I have a crop tank with printed, jeans and a denim vest. As for the accessories, I stuck with black and silver pieces to accent the studs on the tank.

"Rumor Has It" by Adele

Ever heard of your boyfriend trying to get back with you? Yeah, it happens, but sometimes we're already moving on to someone new. In Adele's song, "Rumor Has It", she's going through that same problem. Adele's album 21 won the Grammy Award for being Album of the Year, not to mention the Brit Award for being the British Album of the Year. And with her album, dolls, anyone can regain their confidence!

Anyways, in this outfit, I combined a black, body-con dress with black pumps, a spiral ring, and black teardrop earrings for a cute, dashing look that shows 'em your over him!

"Beez In the Trap (ft. 2 Chainz)" by Nicki Minaj

Listening to Nicki Minaj's new song gave me so many ideas about this outfit. As we know, she's the type of girl that expresses herself through crazy colors, outrageous hairstyles, and confident-boosting tracks! Like Lady G, she's never under-dressed. Of course, I don't advise on wearing big, poufy mini-dresses to the mall (though I applaud you if you did!) but this outfit will be just as fab and Nicki-worthy!

Here in this set is a beaded, crop top with tie-dyed skinnies, a printed Calvin Klein wallet, a leather cuff from Ann Taylor, and color-block heels. Also included are splattered hoop earrings, and you can mix in match with ombre sunglasses (the It trend for the summer: Ombre!) or paint-splattered Wayfarer sunglasses.

"Brokenhearted" by Karmin

Karmin is the pop-duo from 2010. Their hit song, "Brokenhearted," is what many know them as. My cousin introduced me to them, saying that they rap a little, but where still great. My brother, of course, wasn't interested, but I've seen many ads in magazines about them, so I downloaded some tracks.
Of course, they grabbed my interested, and they're a top song on my list. The couple, Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan, are engaged. Amy's look is very chic with pop colors and prints. She also embraces the menswear idea into her looks and the pouf! In this outfit, I combined a polka-dot blazer with a white, sleeveless button-down. Included are grass green pants and red, polka-dot heart earrings. Also, to complete the look, I added tan heels (sorry, no bow tie. Couldn't find one, so I'm doing a fashion how-to soon!)

"Starships" by Nicki Minaj

Starships were meant to fly, and so is this song! My sister is actually a huge Nicki Minaj fan, so when she showed me the video (and she sorta forced me too hahaha), I really liked the song and vivid colors, so I downloaded the song. I'm hoping to get the Deluxe album that comes with a free T-shirt someday; however, back to this outfit. In the video at the end, Nicki is partying at a party, so I decided to make a party outfit for the beach. We have a light green top with fuchsia leggings, and fuchsia pumps. Also included are a bangle set, spiked hoop earrings, and a Rosetta belt. And let's not forget those paint-splattered shades!

Here's part 2! Part three coming soon! Lata dolls!

Summer Tunes pt. 1

Hey dolls! So throughout the course of the new year, artists are bringing out new tunes and singles to promote their albums and images. I for one love music with a passion! Coming from a background where many members of my family sung, dance, or play instruments (any violinists out there?!) and having a father that would make beats and music since I was a baby, music simply runs through my body!

I like all types of musical genres because of the beats and sometimes the lyrics. I especially love singing along (but you won't see me on American Idol!) Not to mention my iPod is filled with over four hundred songs from back in the day to now! My favorite artists have been my idols for years!

This summer, we're hearing new artists coming out with hit singles like Kat Graham and One Direction (the British band). So to dedicate this post to new songs, I've created fashion inspired outfits to my top, played songs!

Heart Killer by Kat Graham

Kat Graham's new song talks about a bad boyfriend that doesn't treat his love right. In Kat's album cover, she sports out an animal-print jacket paired with leather shorts and a bandeau Get this same look and vibe with a animal print tank, like cheetah, paired with cut-off shorts. Next sport out a blazer like Kat's. To complete the look I have multiple bangles, studded pumps, and heart stud earrings to make you look bad-azz!

Boyfriend by Justin Bieber

I'm not really a fan of Justin Bieber. I could never really like his voice. But when I heard this song playing on the radio, I immediately fell in love with the lyrics, the beat, and well, his voice! Imagine being serenaded by this song?! Watching the video, I got the vibe of a hip hop, street dancer wearing distressed denim, vests, and boots. Here I combined a pyramid-studded vest and spandex bandeau with distressed jeans and cobalt, leather boots by none other than Betsey Johnson. To complete the look, I added a spiked cuff, a layered, chain necklace, and a heart medallion. Now you're ready to roll with Justin and his crew!

Who's That Boy (ft. Dev) by Demi Lovato

Photo Credit; Dress; Vest; Shoes; Necklace; Earrings; Pearl Ring; Rhinestone Ring; Bow Ring

I downloaded Demi Lovato's new album, "Unbroken," and automatically I fell in love. I like how she switched from pop to R&B, showing off her more grown-up/confident side. I had always been a Demi supporter since "Camp Rock!" In her song, Who's That Boy, she has this more sexy, Bebe vibe. Here I took a bodycon tube dress, paired it with a faux fur vest and glitter, peep-toe pumps. As for the jewelry, I like multiple rings, and the statement necklace is chic. Perfect for a party where you spotted a cute boy!

All Night Long (ft. Missy Elliot and Timbaland) by Demi Lovato

Alright, now that you've got that boy's number, you can call him up and...TALK! Stop bein' nasty!
Have a midnight chat with him in a cute nightdress that you lounge around in. Keep your legs and toes warm with nylon leggings and fuzzy slippers. And keep your hair out of the way with a cute, braided headband. Nothing like getting comfortable and talking (I'm watchin' you, now!)

Climax by Usher

Photo Credit; Blouse; Skirt; Bandeau; Fedora; Cuff; Necklace; Flats

I have to say, Climax is a really moving song...including the music video. Usher claims that the song is not about sex, so I interrupted it as split decisions. So in this ensemble, we have a high low, sheer blouse paired with a maxi skirt with a slit. Next I added the white bandeau to match the white fedora (hey, I like mixing and matching!) Added are flats for a soft, melodramatic vibe, a cross pendant, and a shattered cuff. Very daring in my taste, plus I just couldn't make up my mind!

Comment with your thoughts and song suggestions below. Part 2 and 3 coming soon! Love ya dolls!

My Apollogies and Updates

I must apologize for my absence. With the last few days of school and prom, May was nawt the month! But It's summer vacation, and I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend. Well here are some updates for the blog:

1. I'm going to post more on the IKWTWT page
2. I have to share the photos of the prom dress I made and my friend's!
3. I'm thinking about another 80's inspired post. My last one received so many hits, I would be a fool not to post a new edition
4. I haven't told you what's hot and what's not! No cool!
5. I'm creating a new Twitter and getting rid of the Facebook Page...the twitter account got hacked, I think.
6. Anything else you like to see? Email me!
7. I think the blog needs a new background (I've been drawing more)

Well, that's it for now, but I'll talk to ya'll lata! Peace!
