"I smoke I drink I do my thing

I'm livin' in my own world

and if they hate I let them

Who gives a f**k?

Anyone who know about what I do

I'm livin' in my own world

I chill back and I spit thee some love,yeah".......

 

These were Kid Cudi's words on the chorus of 'I do my thing' featuring Snoop dogg. Hit or not, Kid has my heart right from his 'Man on the moon' album to this new album 'Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager' which I am loving so much at the moment...practically spent my whole night listening to the album with a few friends and they must agree with me that Kid Cudi did aiight.

My favorite songs on the album are: Marijuana, Mojo so dope, I do my thing & Mr. Rager

Here's a link to download the album for free: http://str8ghtkrack.com/kid-cudi-man-on-the-moon-ii-the-legend-of-mr-rager-2010-retail/

 

 

In Expectation.....

As Nicki Minaj's 'Pink Friday' album is set to be in stores November 22 which is in two days..I'm feeling all 'pinky' already so I decided to put up pictures of pink things I love and find beautiful:

These pink louboutins are an eye catcher.saw a girl rocking it yesterday and couldnt stop thinking of how fabulous it looks...I love it!

I would normally prefer a fushia stylish jacket in pink rayon but this simple blazer just caught my eyes...I can't help but imagine how good it would look with a pair of jeans and white/black blouse...classic!

I have got mad love for charms so I guess it was easy for this beautiful 'Alice in wonderland' charm bracelet to attract me..It is so girly and very vintage.Its a piece I would love to wear on a very happy day.

Spotted this coach bag in a store last week and I thought it should be part f my list..Its classy and stylish..well the charms attached to my blackerry is also coach so I probably have love for anything 'coach' 

Finally on my list is this key ring mercedes benz pink charm..I love it because it is simple,pink and made for mercedes

Frivolous or not

Was having a chit-chat with a friend of mine concerning new technology and stuffs then he goes on and calls blackberry frivolous. I paused for a minute there cos to me blackberry is a necessity but as he explains further I realise he dosen't mean completely useless but somthing you could actually use.something you have been willing to buy but you have to put on backlog because you have more practical things on your list. that is his take on blackberry though...its just something cool on his list but not a necessity.I feel differently..to me blackberry is not a little frivolous something that would make me smile.its my escape from boredom and also a path in which I find solace..lol
I remember when I got my first blackberry,It was christmas 2009 and I was so excited I was finally getting something I trully wanted though alot of my friends didn't have one but I was happy still..lol..
as time went by I appreciated my blackberry more..I found twitter..a place where I could put up all my silly thoughts and getaway with it. I have had so many bbm moments and met crazy ass people,all thanks to my blackberry.
My friend dosen't understand my obsession with my blackberry but all the same I explained to him that to me there is nothing frivolous about the blackberry....frivolous items could be that MAC tourqiouse blue nail varnish I have always wanted or those badass bing earphones so I could listen to loud music throughout my day,leaving the world behind.
as far as I am concerned my blackberry is not a frivolous something.on the contrary its my perfect companion, it makes me happy when people of the world choose to piss me off...and I am happy I have one..frivolous or not

Nolly-magic

I'm blogging and watching africamagic at the same time.there's this movie showing with Jim Iyke and Rita Dominic as led characters.didn't start from the beginning but so far the lead characters are doing well but omo check out the other characters....you go fear mediocre actings finally making the movie look mediocre! well what can i say...some nollywood movies dont even measure up.its either bad production or terrible acting.i dont want to go into details of this movie I'm seeing cos its kinda pathetic..Idon't know if its by force to act o.
well..I decided to google best nigerian movies to figure out movies that have made their mark over the years and this is what I found to be the best of Nollywood so far:
 

1.			Beyond Belief
2.			Osuofia in London
3.			Glamour Girls
4.			Behind Closed Doors
5.			Bus Driver
6.			Back to Life
7.			Break Up
8.			Blood Diamonds
9.			Boiling Point
10.			30 Days
11.			Baby Girl
12.			Buried Alive

well...I dont know how true this is but i can spot classics like Osuofia in london and Behind closed doors I remember had RMD, Stella Damasus and Desmond Elliot as its led characters and I remember it being a very good movie so its possible this list is correct.
Anyways it dosen't matter if this list is correct or not,all I know is Nollywood can do better and as the years go by I see improvements in production and even better acting. Infact movies like Figurine and Ije are movies making waves both nationally and internationally...which is really good. I'm not a huge fan of Nigerian movies but I am positive that in a couple of years there would be a couple of them I might die for...

I Love Chunky!

hmmm wat can I say? today was one of those days I just want to stay in bed and do nothing.well i almost succeeded..lol. I practically spent my whole day calling up artists,publicists etc and also compiling freestyles from different artists which I did in the comfort of my room anyways. while I was at it, I came across some statement neckpieces by Giia on Esty n I fell in love immediately. They are an unusual piece and I could imagine wearing one on a beautiful dress (wishful thinking).I have a thing for statement jewelleries especially neckpieces because they are beautiful and brings out the elegance in every outfit. There is nothing better than up a plain sweater,a blouse and a dress than big,bold statement neckpieces. They are very trendy and could also cost a fortune but you can always get a look for less.

I love this piece because it is very elegant and can give your dress that stunning look on the red carpet or even a dinner party.
I particularly love charm neckpieces because they are vintage and they give that simple blouses and plain sweaters an edgier look....here are pieces i love

Statement jewelleries are a must have in every woman's collection because they are tres chic. Chunky neckpieces like these brings out bold and sassy in every woman. It adds a fabulous finish to every look.They are real eyecatchers.

LBD gone african

In 1926 Coco Chanel introduced the LBD as a classic piece of fashion. Since then it has never changed, it has remained perfectly simple yet a sexy object. Through the years, it has undergone hemlines, shoulder, strap and fabric variation but has still remained a timeless piece.

Being able to work a LBD comes with a lot of boldness and confidence as black is a colour of elegance and sophistication.

LBD combines with African prints is extra fabulous. It is stunning, glamorous and elegant all together. It can be dressed up and down perfectly for every occasion

This colourful piece of Ankara made bracelet by Ituen basi can be worn with a little black dress for a casual occasion.

This Ankara neckpiece also by Ituen basi can also be worn on a little black dress with pumps for a red carpet occasion

This beautiful purse made out of African prints can also work the LBD for a classy African look.

A colourful scarf can also help add colour to this ageless piece. The LBD is worth spending as much money on.

First step is to find identify your body type to know what looks good on you then find the perfect LBD and make it your own.....define your style.

Black gives perfection to every body type and is stunning anyway the wearer chooses to rock it!
