Its been a while!

Hey guys!  I know it's been a while since my last post.  I hope all of you are still with me!  I've been very busy with school and stuff.  It's the end of the semester and I've been stressed to the max.  Also, I haven't been wearing anything fashionable lately.  Due to being poor and a lack of inspiration.  I just started rehearsal for a new musical, " The Me Nobody Knows" at The Theater Company in Hoboken, NJ, which is so exciting.  I can't wait to share more about with you all.  The music is beautiful and the storyline about angst ridden teenagers in NYC in the 70's when drugs were taking over and we were involved in the Vietnam War is still reminiscent of what's still going on in today's America.  If any of you are in the Tri-State area you should try to come out and see it in June, you will love it.

Manik Magazine will be launching soon and as you all know I am a contributing writer to the online Plus Size publication and I will be tweeting about it's arrival very soon.  Please stay tuned and follow me on twitter @thickspot!  I will be doing a giveaway soon also that I'm sure you will all love.

As for this outfit, it was thrown together but came out really nice.  Got a few compliments on it so I wanted to share.  I was going crazy this day because I never got to the mall as planned (It was raining and stuff)  for this performance I had in school.  But I've had this sweater dress for a couple months I got for like $4.00 dollars at my favorite RED, WHITE, and BLUE in South Jersey so I threw it together with some tights from Ashley Stewart, and a Bolero my Mom got me from Ashley Stewart and WAH-LAH a start is born.  It came out better than expected.  And yes the weather is still terrible cool in Jersey City to wear things like this.  CRAZY ASS WEATHER as matter of a fact.

I hope where ever u are u are enjoying Spring and all it's beauty I am looking forward to finals being over.

Lately...& Good NEWS!!!

I use to try and do a post every month called "Lately" to show my followers what I've been up to lately, what I've been into, and what's going on in the world of pop-culture and fashion.  So I figured I try and start it up again for 2012.  Here it goes...

1)  Lately...I've been keeping up with my New Year's resolution of wearing more make-up. With my quest in trying to achieve a complete head to toe L00K!  I've been surprisingly successful!
 
For just $1.50 you can pick up this cream blush from Forever21 in different hues of pink!  I like the CORAL looking one!  And for the price of $1.50 I wasn't scared to try it out!  You can find it in their Love and Beauty section over at www.forever21.com!

2)  I've gotten casted in a play.  It's a African American play about 6 women and the hats they wear to church.  It's going up on it's feet at the end of February/early March and I'm already very proud of it.  Here's a pic of the book it was adapted from!

3)  These shoes I got a REALLY good deal on at Aereosoles in Manhattan.  Originally $79.99, but I scored them for $39.95!  Did I mention they're leopard?  I haven't styled them yet, but don't you fret, soon it will be done!

4)  I'm also really digging these NYC street vendors.  I've been buying lots of worth it buys from them Lately!  Like these geek glasses!  I didn't know how I felt about jumping on the band wagon with this trend; especially since I really do wear glasses!  But these were so Dope!  And if I could put my prescription in them I would.  And I think I might do something like that very soon!

5)  I am just addicted to my Ipod touch and Instagram!  I'm officially switching over to all apple products in 2012, which will probably help the blog run a bit smoother!  Anyways...check out the pics of me and my talented good friend Liam on one of our outings in NYC!  All through the eyes of instagram.

2 fly-Ass Nerds!!!

6)  I've been waiting to tell you guys some exciting news.  Now that it's official I am can announce that I am a contributing writer for online plus size magazine, MANIK MAG!  Stay tuned for the launch of the new voice of plus size fashion and all things pertaining to big/curvy women.  You won't be disappointed!  Here is a link to their blog in the meantime http://www.manikmag.com/blog/  while we eagerly await the magazine's launch!!!!!  :D  I am all smiles and soooooo excited! 

Stay tuned guys!  2012 is our year!

Thanks 4 reading!
