Hollywood Comes to St. Louis...my time with Vivica A. Fox

Actress, producer, director, hair line, skincare line and more! When I tell you she does it all...she really does! I got a chance to sit down with Vivica A. Fox today to chat about a new movie that she's staring in that will be filmed in St. Louis.   The Writer is St. Louis native Craig Thomas and the producer is L.B. Scott who's been in the film industry in NYC and California for over 30 years.  He also happens to be Vivica's acting coach.

While talking with Vivica, I asked her how she's had such a long and rich career and she explained to me the diversifying yourself is how you gain longevity in the Entertainment industry.   She says that's why she's been able to stay in the industry for over 20 years.  She also attributes her success to her faith in the Lord.  We actually had a mini praise break right in the middle of the interview.

As we talked about more, I got some insight on how she's been able to stay oh so fabulous.  Here were her tips:
*Workout
*Eat healthy
*Micro dermabrasion
*being happy


She also gave tips on being redcarpet ready
*Spanx "Girl spanx is your bestfriend" she told me lol
*Taking pictures with one step forward, lean on your back leg and angle your body a bit when taking a picture.  Also remeber to elongate yourself.


Vivica is so gracious and so nice and she also wanted to give a shout out to those that support her hair collection.  If you haven't seen it check out http://www.vivicafoxhair.com/.  Lastly she was checking out my shoes but I was obessing over her jimmy choo's.....Check out my recap pics below!

Jimmy Choo and Louis Vuitton ooooohhh laaa laaa!!!!

Spring into Fashion!

Check out my recent interview about STL Fashion WEEK.  Fshion week in St. Louis kicks off this month in St. Louis and this year's week incorporates fashion from the next budding Coco Channels and Girgio Armani's.  This is not your average kids fashion show.  Their theme this year is Steampunk!

Fur, Snake Skin, and a Little Black Dress

Fur is a great compliment to a little black dress around the holidays. I absolutely love the color of this vest! It's from forever 21, the black dress is by me (moda Christia), snake skin clutch and tights from target. I love this look its great for a night out on the town and the colored rights are a great way to spice up your look! ~Xo!

The Easiest Outfit EVER!

So, have you ever had a day where u just didn't know what to wear? Well that was me so I threw on the first thing I could find, paired it with some maH-Jor statement accessories,edgy sneakers and Voila (wah-lah), I discovered the easiest, chicest outfit EVER! I love the way denim on denim looks and they definitely don't have to match!I actually prefer that they don't.  This EASY outfit that I'm wearing is a light pair of jeans with a darker jean button down shirt (both thrifted).  My Necklace is from Intriguing designs (my mom's jewelry line) and My cross earring and gold wedge sneakers are  from Go Jane,  one of my  newest obsessions!!! Shout out to my baby Kenny DeShields for being my photog. Check his music out new album coming soon <3!

Gungor Swag (The music, The fashion, The movement)

Kenny and I had the pleasure of seeing one of our favorite bands of all time twice in one month.  This band is called Gungor.  They label their music as liturgical post rock, and even if you don't know what that means, it in no way hinders connecting to their music. What I find most amaze about them is that everything they do is very intentional and interesting.  It's very rare to find a band where the musicality and the lyrics can stand alone independent of one another but when combined create a most beautiful compliment. Not only is their music thought provoking, spiritual and quirky, but their style is on point as well and you can almost feel the music through their fits (outfits).  From the Cellist  to the bass player, the drummer, and Michael and Lisa, the leaders they are the complete package.

Drummer, Terence Garfield a.k.a.  our bro!! We love you!

Michael and Lisa Gungor, and their beautiful daughter and Terence Garfield. I am a huge fan of Lisa's laced dress and colored tights and the fellas look pretty dapper.  I'm totally feeling Michael's Top hat and Terrence's handkerchief, two great statement pieces.

Me and Kenny with Gungor

This song really means a lot to me and Kenny.  I'm sure you will dig it as well!

Another one that we love!!

My recent ootd's

So I haven't blogged much in the last month and I thought to my self, self that  has got to change!! lol.  So, just because I haven't blogged lately doesn't mean that I don't have any style obsessions. On the contrary, I'm obsessing over some major statements these days, so here's a look at my recent ootd's (Outfits of the day) YEAH!

The heels I recently got from Shi and I love love love them!!! Thanks again CoCo..for hooking me up!!

Check out how I did my nails in my previous post "Fresh for Less"

FRESH FOR LESS: Impress nails!!!! under $10.00

So for those of you who know me, you know that I don't like to fuss with my nails at all! I don't like sitting forever in a nail salon and I also don't like long nail. With all of this being said, i still really like for my nails to look nice. Especially when I go to different events.

I did a YouTube video a few months back about kiss nails and the stickers designs that you can put on your nails. I liked them, but I found that I still had to put nail glue underneath them if I wanted it them to last at least a week. I still like them, but My friend Michele Suazo hipped me to imPress Nails and I love them so much that I have been wearing them for the last couple of weeks!

You find them at Walgreens in a variety of colors and designs for under $10.00.  They are very easy to apply! Just make sure that you read the directions and use the alcohol patch to rub your nails before applying.  I made the mistake of not doing this the first time and the nails didn't stay as long.  I can say that these nails last at least a week! and if one falls off there are enough in the package to do two manicures.  So you can replace them.  I'm really loving these and people are always complementing me on them!... Shout out to my amiga Michele!!!

I just put these on today!!:)

I mixed a print with a solid color

Michele's new set of Impress Nails

These are Michele's nails from a few weeks ago!

Make sure to read the directions!!
