Candace Bushnell, the mastermind behind the Fantastic Four (A.K.A Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, & Miranda), is releasing “The Carrie Diaries” sometime this month. It’s a book that chronicles the life of Ms. Bradshaw as a teenager, before the designer shoes and the column. As a Sex & The City head, I’m going to be all over this when it comes out. Even though I’m pretty sure I won’t enjoy it as much as I do when I’m witnessing Carrie as an adult. Speaking of her adult life, I wonder if there is a mini Mr. Big in this.

Who else is buying? I know I’m not the only one.

The last FULL month of school is going to be dreadful. I got SO much stuff due, so much to study for, and yet, I’m on Tumblr. Sigh. Help.

So as the rumor circulates in the Twitter-Sphere (follow me? yes? maybe?) that Kanye has croaked, I’m finding myself a little more interested in the fact that this guy is actually publishing books. Honestly, what CAN’T this man do? Besides bite his tongue and contain his raging emotions? He brought you the “Air Yeezy” and now he’s giving you new additions to your book shelves. Excited? I am.

Thank You and You’re Welcome

Collaborating with J. Sakiya Sandifer, Kanye’s big break in the world of literature is a small 50-something page book, that allows you to get into the mind of the Mastermind himself. Learn how to think like Mr. West as you read pages of his thoughts and philosophies, which can all be known as “Kanye-isms”.  While some may be thinking this is just Ye’s EGO working in overdrive, it actually seems like an interesting read. I’ve always thought Kanye was a deep-thinker, and it definitely shows in this book, he’s got some great quotables. “Believe in your flyness, conquer your shyness,” being my favorite :)

Glow In The Dark

This published piece is a bit different from Kanye’s last. This book focuses solely on the great moments of his “Glow In The Dark Tour”; all captured on camera. Kanye’s passion for art has led me to believe that the photography in this book will be nothing less than amazing.

I’d definitely buy these. I wonder if his books are the greatest of all time? Little Kanye humor. Yes, this is the part where you laugh. Ha.

FYI, the “Thank You and You’re Welcome” pictures were found here and the “Glow In The Dark” pics came straight from the author himself!

Sorry girls, but the coats on this list are strictly for the guys. Even though I sit down when I tinkle (meaning this list isn’t for me either), I still couldn’t help but post this seeing as I am a big fan of Pea Coats. While I despise the cold weather, it’s always fun to break out my favorite sweaters and show off my Pea Coats. After checking out this list, it’s safe to say that you boys are lucky this fall. Complex definitely picked some great coats.

EDIT: Wow, forget to show you my favorites. FAIL. In my defense, it was 3 in the morning when I did this post lol.

The lovely people over at Teen Vogue put their fashionista heads together and created a handbook for those who need tips into breaking into the fashion world.  Included are interviews with a-list designers ranging from Marc Jacobs to Karl Lagerfeld (this guy is hands down the coolest old dude) and even photos you’d probably never see anywhere else. If you’re interested in owning your own copy, whip out your credit card or some spending money and get down to the nearest Borders or Barnes & Nobles and pick it up because it’s out today. Or if you’re a bit lazy like me, sign on to Amazon and purchase it. :)

Like I’ve said numerous times before, I’m not that big of a fashion head, but I love anything involving Teen Vogue. I’d love to one day be the newest Lauren Conrad (minus the life she lived outside of T.Vogue LOL) and try my hand at interning for them. Love the Teen Vogue folks! Not to mention, Amy Astley, the editor-in-chief, is an alum of my college. Amazing.

Thanks to Twitter, I now know what Lamborghini Warrior’s Chris Brown’s closet looks like. Not that I care or anything, but it’s amazing. It’s like his own personal mini-mall. The insane amount of NIKE’s, fitteds, tee’s, ..& that random ottoman, floored me. The word JEALOUSY has found a home on my face. Sigh. To be young and rich.

The caption on this picture, however, pissed me off. “Closet is A Mess.” Clearly I, and the rest of Twitter, have seen worse. Fishing for compliments, much? If he thinks this is a mess, I hope he isn’t expecting this kind of a mess when he’s picking up trash for community service. That may have been mean. But I’m just sayin’. And while we’re on the topic of closets and Charlie Brown, I’d love to take in the perfection that is Rihanna’s closet. I think I’d get dizzy.

Normally I’m not a fan of animal print, but for some reason I really like this look on Rihanna’s nails. Question! How does she wear her nails so long? I couldn’t do it! LOL. I am glad, however, that she’s taking a break from her trademark fire-engine red claw nails. Those give me the creeps.

GRAY NAILS! I LOVE IT. The shoes too. Again, I’m liking animal print when I usually don’t. I blame Ms. Fenty.

- How cute is this!?

Yep! I’m basically in love right now.

I always say that my dream job would be a mixture between a Magazine Columnist & Graphic Designer, but, I’d so add “Interior Decorator” to my resume. Wait, who am I kidding? That’s pushing it considering the fact that I’m not exactly what you would consider a people person. Unfortunately. Spicing up a home as a hobby sounds SO much better. Digressing! The fact remains, I live for stuff like this. I have lots of decor ideas, but since I’m a broke college student I can never seem to make them come to life. Bitch, BUMMER!

FYI, all these pictures were found on Sweet Home Style. Everything is nothing less than amazing on that site. When you’re done here, definitely go check that out! I wanted to post tons more, but I didn’t want to overload you guys with houses lol. That’s not to say I won’t be posting more homes in the future though. :)

SIDEBAR: DREAM HOMES! NEW BLOG SERIES! YES! Oh! Check the tags up top ^. UPGRADE! Everything’s categorized now. LOL.

I know. I know. In the last post I said I was considering Charlie Brown for the next edition of “Inked Up”, but then Cassie and her many tats came to mind and I simply pretended as if I had never even heard of that one kid from Virginia (see how easy it is to “forget”). Whoops. Anyhow, lets keep it moving…

Thanks to some of the Nerd/Asshole Hackers of the cyberworld we’ve all become well aware of Ms. Ventura’s love for body art. Yeah, you seen the pictures. But given the fact that I’m a Cassie supporter (& heterosexual for that matter lol), I’d much rather dedicate a whole blog to the body art she actually WANTS us to see. As in her tattoos. Which are very cool, might I add.

- This one was done in white ink. Love it. I’ve never seen that done before!

- Couldn’t really make out what that one said. Tried my best.

*some of these images were borrowed from justcassie! :) The rest were taken from the Google gods.

Just in case you missed it: INKED UP pt.1

So it was late & I was bored, right? Oddly, Twitter, my trusty iPod, and Photoshop continuously failed me. I sat and pondered about what I could do to cure my boredom and then after a few minutes of brainstorming the lightbulb EXPLODED on top of my head (I feel like I should PAUSE myself somewhere in that sentence)! I decided to log on to what I like to consider the Blueprint of my life (something like that) and read some of my older posts. The good, the bad, & the “Dude, delete this.” I’ve been doing this blogging thing since January and I have yet to just go back and reminisce. After skimming & reading through 21 pages worth of music, sarcasm, design updates, Youtube videos, fashion, Jay-Z, more sarcasm, Rihanna, numerous T.I. jail posts, & random confessions of my girl crush on Christina Milian, I picked a few of my favorites and thought it’d be cool to re-post a few of them. Trust me, it’s a thin list. I couldn’t add much.

*click the pictures/titles

• When I wrote this, I had seriously thought 2009 was going to be the year of horrible hair. Well, four months later, my opinion really hasn’t changed. I have yet to be thoroughly impressed by someone’s ‘do lol. Although, I will admit that everyone’s mane has grown on me! I’m even praising Cassie for creating one of the biggest hair trends this year. I must say this though, thank GODDDDD *BET Pastor Kerney Thomas voice* (please. click. his. name.) Christina darkened her hair, and thank ALL that is HOLY that the horror mullet evaporated from Ye’s head.

• The hoodie from heaven [insert the homie Kerney’s trademark line]! I’m still hoping that I run across something like this in the mall. I have an obsession for hearts.

• I think we’ve established that Rihanna is a favorite over here. Therefore, you should’ve known a Rihanna post was mandatory for this. Anyway, I LOVED writing this blog! I’ve been trying to do another edition of “Inked Up”, but I haven’t found anyone besides Rihanna with eye-catching tats. I considered the boyfriend from hell, Christopher (love ya CB!). But, these days his tats are starting to look like-you know what, they’re not even that bad, maybe I should re-consider doing the next one on Charlie Brown’s body ink. What do you think?

• Two words. Christian Louboutin. I think that about covers it.

• Well, Isn’t This Amazing. This poor guy is madly in love with Rihanna. Or, “Re-Anna” as he calls her. Sonic the Hamilton, who’s definitely not your average rapper, created a mixtape in Little Miss Forehead’s Sunshine’s honor, and to say I liked it would be an understatement. Sure, it’s a bit creepy that he created 12 songs with either a sample of her voice, song, lock of hair, or all of the above, but I refuse to tease him for it after he birthed what is seriously one of my favorite mixtapes this year.

And cut!

That’s all folks! Of course I wanted to add WAY more, but I figured the post was becoming too lengthy. I’ll definitely be doing another in the future though! :)

“Nails like whoa. Acrylic base, top all Gold.”

These outrageous looking hands belong to none other than the inspiration of my “PRO NAILS” blog series-Kid Sister. Because of that, this post has been dubbed “The Special Edition!” Anywho, I love this woman! Seeing as she’s known for decorating her nail beds to the max, what you see above is nothing but the norm for this chick. She’s doing THE MOST and I love it. However, you couldn’t pay me to wear my nails like this LOL. I’m actually pretty boring with my nails. Its either French tips or nothing. Although I am starting to warm up to solid colors. Believe it or not, I HATED everything about nail polish the majority of my first 18 years here on Earth. I was an odd child, don’t judge me. Besides, around my parts (HALT! PAUSE!), wearing inanimate objects on your nails is something like a felony. It’s what you call “hoodrat” behavior. Look it up if you’re unaware. So to avoid the “WTF!” stare of death from the public and my reflection in the mirror, I keep it simple. But I digress. In my eyes, Kid Sister can do NO wrong. She pulls off ALL those “to the extreme” styles on her nails & keeps her class. :)

*Special thanks to Kid Sis’s twitter page LOL.

• PRO-NAILS pt.1
• PRO-NAILS pt.2

I’m so jealous, right now! Rihanna is now a tattoo artist (not really lol). The man responsible for some of her body art and two other tattoo artists allowed Rihanna to ink them up the other night. She’s so lucky! I’d LOVE to give someone a tattoo. Rihanna get’s to do everything. Sheesh. Crazy, I read that one of the guys allowed her to tattoo her initial under an umbrella on him. So not only has she got some experience with inking someone up, but she also got to ink them up with HER initial. Lucky. Lucky. Lucky.

I’m also hearing that they’re trying to slap her with some fines too. Seeing as this is against the law or something. I guess. Whatever. I heard TMZ snitched LOL. This has Harvey “I’m a Lawyer!” Levin written all over it LOL. Who really cares, though? She’s in a room with professionals. Give her a break.

Nice! Check out the nails of actress turned singing sensation (lmao) Meagan Good PLUS little/older..whatever I forget.. sister La’Miya.

Love the black & white combination. I’ve tried the white before. People loved it. Eh me, on the other hand? Not so much.

Spotted At: CONCRETELOOP

SIDEBAR: Meagan’s sister La’Miya was in R&B group ISYSS. They were out around 02’-03’, however, I love them to this day. Their first and LAST cd “The Way We Do” is on my list favorites LOL. A few years ago, I was at Best Buy after school and I ran across their CD. These were the days when I still bought CD’s, mind you. Anyways, I gave their cd a quick look over and decided to buy it. Safe to say, I didn’t waste my money. It’s a good listen!

Is it me or is 2009 the year for new hair in Hollywood? After Rihanna cut her short bob even shorter and Kanye grew the beehive mullet on top of his head, there’s been an outbreak of outrageous celebrity hair makeovers; one of which has potential to be cool..and well..the others..has me thanking God my hair looks the total opposite. Take a look at some of the hair nightmares that have been occuring this year:

Cassie. I do LOVE Cassie…but this cut INSPIRED the title of this post lol. I, along with the rest of America, don’t know WTH she was thinking when she did this to her beautiful head of hair. Cassie first revealed her cut on her Twitter page saying she was trying to physically tell the world that she just didn’t give a fu&k. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an advocate for not giving a fu&k..but she could’ve just bought a keychain that represented that. Honestly.

Rihanna. Ms.Fenty was dubbed the number one trendsetter when she rebelled and chopped off major inches of her hair (numerous times) and dyed it black. This was considered a rebel move simply because in the entertainment industry it’s basically required that a female singer have long strawberry blonde hair. In other words, look like Beyonce. Luckily our girl Rihanna wasn’t for the conforming thing. Being the edgy chick she is, she made drastic changes to her hair that ultimately caused EVERYONE to chop chunks of their hair off and dye it black. However, this hairstyle she’s wearing these days has got me scratching my head in confusion. What is that exactly? Personally I was in love with the cut she had in the “before” pic..she OWNED that cut lol. I hope she goes back to it…but knowing Rihanna, who’s constantly changing her style, she’s probably considering that cut OLD news.

Christina Milian. Now this is the hairstyle I said had potential. NO, I’m not saying that because I have a Girl Crush on Christina lol..I’m being serious. This isn’t the first time that she has went blonde. However, this is the blondest she’s EVER been. When I first seen her dye-job I was taken aback. I almost got whiplash from the triple takes I was doing LOL. Milian going peroxide blonde caused so much controversy that her boyfriend “The Dream” (yeah ok..) had to step in and get on the heads of the people that talked about her. Yes, what The Dream did was kind-hearted, but it’s looking like Christina could careless if he had defended her or not though, the rude comments havent phased her. Her & her blonde hair have been going strong. She’s actually starting to really make it work. I’m almost for it.

I thought long and hard before I posted this. I didn’t want people to feel as if I were attacking these ladies. Truthfully I was just poking fun LOL. Besides..let’s be honest with ourselves here..they’ve all seen better hair days. In Cassie’s case, her whole right side has seen better days lol. I’ve even realized that this is the kind of post that would NEVER be approved by Mr. “WHY WON’T YOU LET THEM BE GREAT?!” AKA Kanye West LOL.

Speaking of Kanye…for funsies..lets rewind and take a look at his infamous hair mishap:

Hottness. LMAO.
