Amerie - More Than Love ft. Fabolous

i heart amerie!

vintage floral bag

Way toooo efffffing cute!!! This is such an adorable bag! I hate carrying purses, but I'd throw stuff in here when necessary :) Gotta love Forever 21! hehehe. Not gonna lie, sometimes I do wish I still worked there just to check out all the new inventory they got EVERY SINGLE DAY. Goodness was that a nightmare! Has anyone checked out the new location in Madison? Beside the people who actually work there? It's probably nice because it's new. Not like the chaotic tornadoes we have here. It was a pain to work in though. That sounds like enough rambling for now :)

luv unlimited



A couple of years ago my little sister introduced me to a shop down the street from my mom's house that I was unaware of. I can honestly say, it wasn't BS when I walked in like most places she takes me to lol. I can honestly say that I will always shop at Luv Unlimited or just stop by anytime & every time I'm by my mom's house in Bay View. My boyfriend's also bought handful of amazing items. Their sunglasses collection is on point by the way :) I always get compliments! The last thing I bought there was a gorgeous yellow short sleeve blazer w/ puffed sleeves. Who doesn't love puffed sleeves!? HELLO!! Show me someone who doesn't love them & I'll show them my fists! Just joking! ;) But I digress, which I absolutely love to do.

Brief summary of Luv Unlimited that I found off their website. 
"Luv Unlimited has been in business since July, 2004. We are the exclusive home of Hex Designs - a line of one-of-a-kind creations by Becky Heck.
Luv Unlimited sells new, vintage & handmade clothing, accessories and jewelry for men and women. We also offer hand-dipped and imported incense, records and gifts.
We also offer new and vintage iron-ons which we professionally press on new American Apparel & Alternative Apparel shirts and sweatshirts."

OH YEAH! And they have a live DJ in the store, hoooowwww freaking awesome is that!? Don't tell me I didn't warn you about the pure greatness of this store!

Black Eyed Peas - Meet Me Halfway

malia designs



Last semester at school, I had a designer for Malia Designs come in and just explain how the company as a whole uses recyclable items to make amazing bags, and the profits go to I believe Thailand? That's probably wrong, but they do help out those in need. I'm absolutely in love with these recyclable rice bag totes. They aren't all that expensive either so that def makes me want to buy them :) You can purchase them online at www.maliadesigns.com and I also noticed that Whole Foods on Prospect was listed as a location where you can purchase these locally. I haven't had a chance to actually go there and look to see if they have them, but if you beat me to it, let me know :)

Do you have what it takes?


Last year while clicking random links on Facebook & what not, I came across shopflaire.com & it happened to be around the time when they started their First Milwaukee's Style Trial. Definitely an awesome opportunity to get into; however, their are qualifications. Those can be found at their website & I even have it to the exact date this was posted down below. There is talent in MKE & encourage those to take advantage & learn from this wonderful experience that FLAIRE has presented to us all!

relax & keep it simple

Simplicity is key!

come soon fall!


My top 3 faves for Fall 2010

1. Graffiti Pants - Though most of us can afford these dope graffiti print pants off the runway. We can def find similar looks all throughout the stores in MKE. You just have to look for the Deals & Steals. I'll try to get some looks close to these later today or later in the week.

2. Turtle Neck - I've never stopped wearing the turtle neck. I think it's an awesome piece to have, as well as a great layering piece. This isn't the lame turtle neck you used to wear on picture day back in elementary school anymore!

3. Cropped Top - Def looks awesome with a pair of high-waist pants or skirt. Also a good layering piece, with many options to dress up or down. Give it a funky look and mix patterns!

I was having trouble uploading Lady Gaga's - Alejandro, so I figured uploading this awesome picture would make it worth blogging about. Doesn't she look amazing!?

come stop by!

So I think tumblr may have been down the time I was trying to upload images, but blogspot.com might just work better than that did :) Again I digress. If you're in the Milwaukee area, please feel free to stop by this week, check out some awesome items at BOUTIQUE REVOLUTION (address shown above), and don't forget to say HI! to the fabulous owner Sheena!
