Unique Finds.!

Are you unique.?

If you're anything like me you probably strive to be unique. Now days every looks and dresses the same. So in order to be like the ordinary Jane Doe I do A LOT of online shopping. 

Lately I've been focusing on unique accessories because we all know an accessory can make or break an outfit. & it turns out that social networking sites, can be a great way to access unique finds. Take a look at a few of my finds on the internet...

First stop ... lets meet the owner of JaziThangs.!

My name is Jaz, I am the founder/owner of JaziThangs. I am 19 & a student of UNLV. JaziThangs started as a thought my junior year in high school, but it didn't become an actual brand or company until March 2011. The name JaziThangs comes from my name & the meaning of the word jazzy. I have a passion for accessories & was fed-up with getting pieces of out places like Forever21 & have 50 other people with the same pair on as myself. I hand-make every one of my pieces and try them out making sure they will not break in daily exercises. I do custom pieces as well using the contact box on my site. I make about 6 pieces of the same earring & once it hits 6 it's discontinued, unless it's just an all-time top-seller. I started with earrings and have recently added bracelets & rings, who knows what else JaziThangs might bring :D. Stay tuned & Always Keep it JAZI, Rock your style with CONFIDENCE!

...she has super cute pieces jewelry & i plan to place an order for a pair of her tuxedo earrings asap!

Amy Winehouse Found Dead.!

Singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her apartment in London on Saturday, the UK Press Association reported. She was 27.

...a lot of people can judge Amy Winehouse but she really had a problem... she had an addiction. That Rehab song was real life for her. Its sad that her life ended this way. Prayers for her family.

BOLD or Bad.!?

Recently as I did my weekly trend seeking, while browsing the internet, I ran across a new fad...what I like to call candy lips.!

  

Of course to some this may not be a new fad because back in the day you could catch artist like Lil Kim rocking a similar style heavy.   

 

Now you can catch certain entertainment divas like Tae Heckard , Keyshia Dior, Amber Rose & Rihanna 

rocking this stlye..

 

Keyshia Dior (pictured above in white lipstick) recently launched her own line of bold lip color. 

I visited her website Ka'oir. 

 I must say afterwards I was very tempted to place an order. Not only does she have so many shades to choose from, but they all have very fun names as well.! 

WANT THE LOOK?

But like many of you out there I was not sure what shade, if any, would look right with my skin tone. So to solve that problem I took to the web and stumbled across a website (which url i dont remember, sorry! ). It gave very good instructions on how at home beauty products could be made into lip color in order to test shades before you go out and buy them..... exciting right.!?

1. Gloss your lips with lip chap or very thin layer of lip gloss.

2. Find an eye shadow ( close to the lip shade you are dreaming of ). 

3. Take a small eye shadow brush ( or your finger ) and apply a generous amount of shadow to your lips. 

( Depending on what shade you are going for apply as much or as less that you would like. )

4.Take a lip gloss ( preferably the one with a brush ) and apply a thin layer of gloss on top of the eye shadow.

& now you have candy lips.!

(excuse my ratchetness it was an early morning project)

These are products of my result.! I have to say even having fair skin ( work with me now! ) it turned out fab.! I could see myself rocking candy lip colors, but just certain shades. Also depending where I'm wearing them to. You won't just catch me chilling on the couch watching tv with electric blue lips.! So.. I guess I'm off to buy my first official color lip stick... until next time luvs.!

Casey Anthony found Not Guilty.!?

"A Florida jury has acquitted Casey Anthony of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.

Anthony, 25, showed no reaction when the jury's verdict was read Tuesday after more than 10 hours of deliberations. But she began to cry shortly after and hugged her attorney. She could have received a death sentence if she had been convicted of first-degree murder." 

I, along with over half of America, was shocked to learn that Casey Anthony was found NOT GUILTY on 1st degree murder, manslaughter, & child abuse. I find this to be so unjust. I cannot fathom the fact that she has been found not guilty. Especially the reason being that they do not have enough evidence. Isn't the fact that she waited 31 days to even admit to anyone that her baby was missing enough evidence! Or should we take into consideration that also during those 31 days she partied hard, got tattoos, rented movies, etc. and lived her day to day life as if nothing was even wrong or out of the ordinary? That right there is enough evidence for me! Something is not right.

May God bless Caylee Anthony's soul.

Kelly Rowland Shows Up & Shows Out..!

My favorite moment from the BET awards is when Kelly Rowland took the stage.

 I had a feeling that she was going to show out, but not to that extent.!

Go Kelly.!
