Preen Hound Power Dress $1,120- If I had one wish, I'd wear Houndstooth print EVERYDAY! This Preen dress can be dressed up or dressed down to keep it versatile for all seasons to come.
Christian Louboutin Miss 120 platform ankle boots $1,075 - Staple Item...if you can afford them...for me...the jury is still out on my wallet...but once the verdict is in...hopefully in my favor...these are a pair of booties that will stay around for a long,long, time!
DOMA Cropped washed-leather biker jacket $630 - This season is all about the jacket...preferably leather. The leather jacket has come a long way from Rocker Chic, now it's being paired with fun, flirty peices for a whole new look.
ADAM Cashmere-blend cutout dress $495- I am in love with this dress! Chic and Simple, and yet so daring at the neckline. Not everyone can pull this off but I'm sure my lady readers will do me proud! Fantastico!

::LDL Annoyance::Plaxico Edition::
Plaxico sentenced to TWO YEARS IN PRISON! Does this annoy anyone else?? Someone please agree with me...let's explore...
"Burress, a nine-year veteran with the Giants and Pittsburg Steelers, became a Super Bowl hero when he caught the winning touchdown pass in the last minute of the Giants' 17-14 upset win over the previously unbeaten New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.
Burress and former teammate Antonio Pierce were at the Latin Quarter nightclub in Manhattan in late November 2008 when a gun tucked into Burress' waistband slipped down his leg and fired, shooting him in the right thigh.
The bullet narrowly missed a nightclub security guard who was standing inches away, prosecutors said. It lodged in the floor and was recovered by a bartender.
The gun was not licensed in New York or in New Jersey, where Burress lived. His license to carry a concealed weapon in the state of Florida had expired in May 2008.
Prosecutors said Pierce drove Burress to a hospital, then took the gun to his own home in New Jersey. It was later delivered to Burress' home. Pierce, who also testified before the grand jury, was not charged." (c) Espn reporter Sal Paolantonio & AP
So...he shot himself...HIMSELF...
One more time...so did he shoot HIMSELF??
Ok...now...I'm all for the Law and all...and I understand the concealed weapon charge...but come on..when's the last time someone spent 2yrs in jail on a concealed weapon charge...I mean maybe 30days...but wait...now let's see what get's you 30 days in jail....
(and yes...I put his MUGSHOT because that's the way he deserves to be shown)
"Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth has begun serving a 30-day jail sentence Tuesday June 19th, for DRUNKEN accident that KILLED 59-year-old Mario Reyes. The 28-year-old NFL player could have faced as much as 15 years behind bars but received a relatively light sentence because he cooperated with authorities and Reyes's family decided not to pursue the matter thoroughly so they could get on with their lives. Stallworth reached a confidential financial settlement with Reyes's family." (c) sports.yahoo.com
If this isn't the biggest bunch of B.S. I don't know what is...First strike...you were drinking and driving...I don't care where you're from...how old you are...NOT COOL...Second strike...you killed a man...again....NEVER COOL....
So what does one gather from this story....FOOLISHNESS...maybe if Plaxico had reached a financial agreement with HIMSELF...then maybe he wouldn't have pressed charges against HIMSELF....
I dont know people...things like this really get under my skin...I'm not saying Plaxico did absolutely nothing wrong here but where is the true justice in giving this man 2yrs for something that the average joe can plea to a lesser charge for with a darn public defender...I'm boggled...and then his fellow NFL'r can leave the club SPLIT at 6am...hit a pedestrian..kill him..and go on vacation in jail for 30days...and then go shoot the breeze....Lord help us....
I hate to sound so judgemental against the judicial system and even Mr. Stallworth...but this just doesnt add up to me...if I left the club drunk and killed a man with my car...I'm darn sure that I wouldn't see the light of day..moreso because I can't hand his family probadly millions...and because to be honest....I would deserve every single day handed to me by a judge..(and you can bring this post to court God forbid this ever happens!)
All in all...I'm livid...
Plaxico....do ya bid...and come back a better man...and hopefully an even better athlete...you can still use this situation to show others that one small mistake isn't worth your career...and hopefully other athletes will learn from you and maybe that's the good in this...I hate that YOU have to be the example...but I guess it is what it is....
On another note: Random Stat: Vick's first game back on 8/29 he completed 4 passes for 19yards.... (subliminal)

When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality...
After reflecting on the days activities I realized how far we've truly come....this time last year we were anxiously awaiting the next coming months to determine whether or not MLK's dream would finally be realized....so the quote above came to mind because it is so very true...one mans dream is just a dream...but when we all dream together it's real... It took every single one of us to BELIEVE in the dream...and thank heavens we did!!
And on that note...
Enjoy the realization...and let Barack Obama live! It pains me to see such harsh criticism at such an early stage in his Presidency...it took a failed war + 9/11 before mainstream media even dared to slander Bush...and Barack kicks out a Healthcare proposal and the right wingers are ready to hang him....
But yet this is steal the dream...let them speak out against him, let them challenge him further...for it is they that have something to prove...because as they criticize and speak against him...they still have to say PRESIDENT Barack Obama...
And I'm sure they die a thousand deaths each time...
Nite folks!

::LDL Open Letter to Kanye..and that Girl::
So, there I was minding my own business...thinking that I was watching an awards show with a room full of civilized people.....WRONG! Now let me preface: Was I just as suprised as the next man when they called out Taylor Swifts name for Best Female Artist Vid???? YYYEESSSS!!! And I am not usually a Beyonce supporter(don't get me wrong..she is very talented, I'm just not a full blown fan)...but that Single Ladies Vid was the bizness...and she deserved every award of the night...but just like the rest of the world..we sat in our seats in shock..and went...o well...it's only the VMA's...............
Where was your conscious Kanye...better yet your PR rep???? Do you not understand that you are not the Judge and Jury of the entire world??? Are you not intelligent enough to realize that jumping on the stage and snatching the one moment a new artist has dreamed of for years right out of their hands is not the right thing to do???? Obviously not!! Maybe you left your dignity and COMMON SENSE in the Hennesy bottle that you and Amber Rattlesnake so proudly toted on the Red Carpet as if you two were posing at a hood club infront of an airbrushed Tupac...*smh*Kanye...you are not God...great lyricist, yes...great producer, yes....good person...NO! Part of me is hoping that in the next couple of months there will be a press release citing your bi-polar disorder because atleast then we would have something to blame. I mean we all felt what you were saying, but was that the time or place...NO. And frankly..you can pretty much kiss your Caucasian fan base goodbye because you picked the absolute wrong artist to diss. Taylor is a very talented young lady who has earned every right to be recognized for her talents, and maybe her video wasn't better than Beyonce's but who are we to take her shine. Besides, this wasn't a Grammy...you think Beyonce was trippin' over a moon-man...no diss to MTV but seriously?? A moon-man..she has tons...and probadly more to come.
Your are the epidemy of fame going wrong...God gives you a talent to shine a positive light...use your success for good..and not evil. You must love to be hated by mainstream media, but believe me, they won't be forgiving every single time, and they shouldn't be. No one should support foolishness, especially things done unto innocent bystanders.
I am usually a fan of Mz. Amber Rose...but last night....you get hit with a guilt by association! Hey if Tay pulled some foolishness you best believe the room would turn and look at me like " Why you bring this clown in here"...sooooo...um Amber...are you really just a trophy chick..which if so...hey..I aint mad..but if not...get ya man! Reel him in, and quick...word to the wise...your pretty, and you're sexy...but you're still Ye's girl...and when he brings his self down...you're going down too...not a good look for all...so again...get ya man...o and dont ever wear that jumpsuit again...I love fashion but somethings get left in the closet...it was a great piece to own...but to own to say you bought it...not to walk around in at the VMA's...plus...then it really looked stupid while being asked to leave...then it looks like a Fredericks of Hollywood Jumpsuit....
So all in all...Kanye...you FAILED!!! And I'm sorry..but hot record or not...you won't get a dime of my money until you get your act together, I can't condone ignorance...no way...no how!!!
On to Lil Mama....I really don't have much to say to you because I still don't really know what you actually do...or where you came from...I know something about lip gloss, ABDC, and then my mind goes blank...just as it did when you hopped on stage with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys...two greats in the industry...which should have been your first reason why NOT to get on stage. You need to learn your place, and learn respect. If you are an artist..which the Jury is still out....you should know that you all need to respect each others craft...and you through away that respect last night...so at this point..the door is open..(and welcomed by me!!) for Jay-Z to pretty much end your career....but honestly, I think you did it for yourself!!!
::Weekend Recap::
First I will begin by saying..."I TOLD YOU SO!!"....USC came in the Horseshoe and did exactly what they were destined to do...WIN..18-15...I celebrated wildly in my USC GEAR surrounded by nothing but Scarlet & Gray.....what a night!!!!!! Also we learned that Barkley suffered a bruised shoulder during the 3rd quarter...so get well...and um...play this week!!!
O' Serena....guess what we found out....YOU'RE HUMAN!!! I think I gained more respect for her in that moment of tantrum because who wouldn't lose their cool while getting b.s calls during a heated match!!! Come on mainstream media, cut her some slack...try mic'n some NFL players during the game and see what you come up with....hmmm....the same ish if not worse... Girl...we still love you, and I love you even more for releasing an apology to save face, that was the "hollywood" thing to do, but in real life...you were still just fine with me!!!
And then came NFL Sunday...a day of victories, losses, and numerous injuries! McNabb suffered a broken rib, which he is expected to play through...go figure...it's McNabb...he thinks he's a linebacker and not a QB..LOL... Then we have Urlacher out for the season...poor Bears. And on to the Bengals...my my my....only in the Nati will another team go 87yds for a TD with 20secs left on the clock...I was in shock...matter of fact...I'm still in shock...
Finally...the VMA'S...Lord help us all...moreso help Kanye, and Lil' Mama...but stay tuned for my open letter to them both...I have tons to say...tons!!
