Diet Swaag & SAG Red Carpet Review !

Another Monday has come back around. Another annoying day at work, but I'm honestly getting use to it! As for my diet, I've been doing pretty good. Although I did have ice cream one day :/ , but it happens *shrugs*. I can honestly say that I can feel a difference though, which is what is important. I have one more week of the Special K Challenge and then just back to eating normal and healthy.

_____________________________________

Now, Who watched the SAG Red Carpet ? I watched for a few minutes, and then just caught up on it online today. I'm going to share a few photos of what people were wearing that night. All of which I think looked gorgeous for the most part.

Maria Menounos

She was wearing a very sexy Dolce & Gabbana dress. I think it fit her so perfectly , she looks amazing. I love this dress. I know she's very proud that she chose this dress.
The style, the fit, the color, the length, everything is great about it

Angelina Jolie

I adore Angelina Jolie and seeing her in this gown made me love her even more. She looks so sexy in it. No one can deny that. She's wearing a Jenny Packham gown , and a LV clutch. I'm in love with the top of her gown.

Ariel Winter ( from Modern Family)

She has got to be the cutest thing ever! She looks adorable in this dress. She's wearing a Collette Dinnigan dress and it looks like she belongs in it! Don't you agree? She looks like a little fairy tale princess. I love it!

Emily Blunt

Green is my favorite color and I love seeing green on someone who just looks so good in the color. When I saw her in this Oscar de la Renta dress, I was just stuck. She looks absolutely amazing. The green looks so good against her skin, and I love the style of the dress. This one who probably have to be my favorite!

Zoe Saldana

Last, but far from least, my girl Zoe. I love her, but I must say, I don't like this dress on her. She was wearing a Riccardo Tisci dress. I like the dress, just not on her. She should of made a better choice I feel like. It happens though. She didn't look awful, I just don't think this was a great choice for her.

What did you think about the SAG Red Carpet?

Sunday Swaag !

We made it to Sunday! Great to see another day, but I can honestly say I'm not looking forward to work in the morning. I can't wait until I find a new job. It's so hard to do that where I live though. Not many options, not many people hiring. I feel like I need to move for better opportunities.
*Sigh* I don't know, but anyways, I hope everyone's weekend was great. I know we all wish it could be atleast one day longer! Isn't it crazy how this month is about to over already! 2012 will be flying by.

Thank you all for leaving your lovely comments on my post and being great followers and readers!

Goodnight everyone.

Marc Jacobs Swaag


I know this look is probably familiar to most of us. As soon as I took a look through Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 Collection, I fell in love with this look. It's such a great look to play off and make your own. Sometimes runway clothes can be over the top and you think, 'that's a little too out there for me'. The fun part of runway fashion, to me at least, is just making everything your own; it's so much inspiration.

Tunic Swaag

Lovely readers,
Did I ever tell you how much I'm thankful for you all.
Your comments always make my day. :D Just so you all knoww, haha.

We're half way through this week, yayyy ! I NEED Friday. Another weekend of no work, I love it, but then, I could always use the money. Oh well though, what can you do. I hope every one's week has been great so far. If not, hang in there, it's almost over.

Kourtney Kardashian Swaag

Hey beautiful people,
Lets talk about Kourtney Kardashian. She is pretty annoying to me when I watch her on tv, but I must say I love her style. Her clothes are more on the vintage end a lot of the time and I love almost everything she wears.

Diet Swaag

Hey pretty people,
Today was really a Monday. Work was irritating, which isn't anything new, but today I was really just fed up. I'm on the search for a new job as of right NOW! haha. Anyways, as I said, I'm giving you an insight on my diet. I started doing the Special K Challenge to kick start my diet, but I haven't been doing it as I'm supposed to, but as of today, I'm going to follow it exactly for two weeks.

I wasn't able to eat breakfast because I was running late, but I had a cereal bar on break at 8am and my cereal around 12 when I got home & I wasn't too hungry for dinner so I just ate a pb&j sandwich. If you're not familiar with the Special K Challenge, this is what it is:
You eat two Special K meals and one regular meal. Two Special K snacks (between meals) & whatever other snacks you decide to eat, should be fruits and vegetables.

I did this challenge last year and it worked. I was so motivated. I don't know what's going on this time around, but I gotta get my ass working. I have 40lbs to lose. I want it to be off by my birthday in May, hopefully before. I need to start drinking my green smoothies again, to make sure I have some type of vegetables everyday! I need toset aside 30 minutes for exercise too and drink more water. Doing all of this with the Special K challenge helped me get my weight off quick and the plus side of my job, is I'm always moving so I haven't gained any weight back!

I hope to have a good update for you next Monday! : )

Also, I just want to think all of my followers and everyone who is a faithful reader and leaves comments. It means a lot. I love you all : )

SOTD & Review Swaag !

Hello everyone,
I have good news! I have my comp. back ! Yayy. It's been long enough am I right? It actually wasn't so bad not having it, but I hated the fact I couldn't blog!

Anyways, I have two outfit posts for you! I decided to put them both in one post b/c I wore the same jeans with both outfits & I have my hair up in both , which never happens. Those were the first times I've worn my hair pulled up in years.

Mens Casual Swaaag

Hello lovely reader,
I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything right? Well, no I haven't gotten my laptop back yet. I'm on my annoying desktop, but whatever serves the purpose I guess. Hopefully I'll get my computer back by Monday so that I can go back to posting just about everyday.

So, I created a polyvore for a casual men's outfit. I know it isn't something I've done which is why I decided to do it. I love when men dress nice! I can't stand a male going around looking a mess, not put together, whatever you want to call it. It makes such an impression when a man dresses really nice.

UPDATE & Short Review Swaag




Okay, so I took my computer to the place I got it from and they said I'll have it back within a week to a week and a half! :/ I'll try to post some short topics through that time from my phone. We'll see how it goes.

Now onto something other than my technology issues. Last week, the season premier of Jane By Design came on. Did you all watch it? I thought it was a pretty good show and I'll be watching it again. It looks like it's going to get a lot more exciting. Anything to do with fashion, I'm willing to give it a try.



What did you think about the show?

SAD NEWS !

Today might be the last day of me blogging for a little while! :(
All because of my stupid laptop screen ! I opened it this morning and my screen is completely white ! ahh , this sucks. I have my laptop hooked up to my desktop monitor which is the only way I'm writing this right now. I should still be able to reply to any comments left on my blog and anything sent to my email on my phone, but as far as new posts go, it might be a little while. I'm hoping they can fix it quickly because I need my laptop. I had posts ready and everything. I promise when I get it fixed though, I'll have things in store for you :)

Great way to start 2012 huh ? broken laptop screen. What can you do I guess.
Well I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. And hopefully we'll be back in touch sooner than later!
You can always shoot me an email though, don't forget  : )

Style Recognition Swaag - Ellen DeGeneres

Beautiful people,
How are you today? I actually had a good/easy day. I'm still sick, but it's like I'm getting use to it now. The only thing that I hate is when I go to sleep and then wake up because I feel horrible! This morning I woke up with my throat burning and ears ringing, all that could sh*t. I wore my hair up in a bun, which I haven't done in years and especially not after I cut my hair. It's finally grown back enough to where I can put it up in a bun, but I feel my head is too big for my head since I don't have short hair now. Everyone at work said they liked my hair pulled up in the bun, but I'm still not feeling it. This will be how I wear my hair until I wash it this weekend though because I'm in no mood to do anything to it.

Enough of running my mouth, onto my topic of discussion, Ellen DeGeneres! I think Ellen is the cutest and I love her style. It's so laid back and simple, but yet so neat, polished, and put together. Her vests and ties, her jeans, blazers, and just her seemingly great personality to go along with it all. She just has a glow to her at all times.

New Years Eve Swaag - First post of 2012 !

Hello beautiful readers,
Long time no blog post! I really have no excuse for not posting this before now except that I've been sleep and sick. Doesn't being sick just suck ? Yea , well hopefully this nasty cold will be over with sooner than later.

On to better things, I hope everyone had a great New Years! I'm sure everyone is happy to be entering a new year. I hope you all didn't party too hard, but I do hope you enjoyed the last hours of 2011. I had planned on going out, but then I changed my mind. So I was still put on a cute, but simple outfit that I can share with you guys. The main thing I wanted to share is my makeup though!
