Game Changer

Changing the name of this blog to be consistent with my tumblr (marisatumbls.tumblr.com). I really wish I was blogger savvy...but its so difficult. Maybe I'll return come summer? Ehh we'll see till then, tumblaaa all daaaayyyy.

Spotlight

Tae Heckard, model/actress, I think she's absolutely gorgeous.

If you recognize her face that's probably because you've seen her featured on a few episodes of The Game and the movie ATL.

MUSIC. If you're interested in hearing Rihanna's new album, Talk that Talk, before it is released, it is available for streaming on Grooveshark.

90s Are All That

FASHION. My style is continuously evolving, but as of late I've been in this 90s grunge/Clueless mood. I finally ordered a pair of black Doc Martens, which are currently my favorite shoes (they go with everything). Referencing Rihanna's We Found Love video, 90s fashion all the way. I loved her denim outfit with the garter belt and I can't wait till its warm again so I can wear something similar. I'm obsessing over Creepers, my next online purchase.

UPDATE. I dyed my hair a few weeks ago, in the ombre style. Since I cut my hair into a bob I kind of have this Alexa Chung thing going on. Or at least, that's the most accurate description I can give. I'll be uploading pictures soon. I was thinking about getting senegalese twists for the winter, but I'm not sure how they will look with my newly dyed hair. And I'm back to being broke, thanks to a recent unfortunate event. Today I basically got a second job? Still somewhat in question because she needs to know my Black Friday availability. Fingers crossed Chick-fil-a won't need me or I'll be able to find someone to cover my shift.

My hurr colour y'all.

Hey Y'all

MINI- UPDATE: Hey guys its been forevaaaa. College stuff has taken over my life so I never have a chance to post. But I just finished watching Rihanna's new video We Found Love, and its amazing. Melina Matsoukas, who directed this video as well as Rude Boy and S&M, has done an outstanding job of capturing who Rihanna is as an artist and her cinematography keeps you engaged. Keep up the good work Riri, this vid has only heightened my obsession hahahah. 

I'm not completely sure if that's her speaking with an Irish accent at the beginning, but I heard it was so....yeah.

A few days ago the talented Amy Winehouse died. Her premature death caused her to join what is known as the 27 club, which is a group of musicians who passed at the age of 27. Although not completely unexpected it is terribly devastating. Winehouse became one of my favorite musicians after I heard her single Rehab and even though I was too young to fully appreciate her style, I have grown to love her music. She will be missed and never forgotten. RIP Amy. (Title of this post is one of my favorite Amy Winehouse songs)

Tumbl

I've had a tumblr for awhile and since I'm not blogger savvy I don't know how to post the link in my sidebar or whatever so I'm just going to post it here http://marisatumbls.tumblr.com/. My tumblr is mostly photos of things I like and find interesting with a few words here and there, please check it out and follow!

Collabo

LIFESTYLE. I've been obsessed with the Jeffrey Campbell Suebee's in nude patent (styled in the current trend of flatforms) for a minute and I can finally get them! First, they were sold out in my size on Solestruck when I orginally wanted to buy them for prom, but now they are available at Akira! I will be picking up my pair either tomorrow or Tuesday. Words can't describe how excited I am to have them in my possession eeeee.

Working at Chick-fil-a has been both a blessing and a curse. Blessing because I really like the people I work with and the check that comes every two weeks :), cleaning up after people is no fun at all. 

FASHION. As of late, more and more designer "collabs" have been happening...Zac Posen for Target, Lanvin for H&M and the most recent that will be hitting an H&M near you this fall Versace for H&M. When I first read about this I literally went bananas, especially since I didn't buy anything from the Lanvin collection (which I posted about a looong time ago). Donatella Versace has created classic vinatge-ish Versace pieces for the collection. There will be 40 pieces for women and 20 for men. So be sure to mark your calendars because November 17th will be here before you know it! Below are a few photos of what to expect.
