restless confessions

it's approximately 1:50am and i've yet to put a dent in all the writing i have to do for school. just a few more days until i'm free for the summer.

so i'm sitting here just starring into space, vibing to good music, and i have this weird, but good feeling going on inside of me. i can't explain it but i like it and it grows better and better with each passing day. as of lately, i've been smiling a lot. everything's good. not letting anything stress me [besides my cognitive psychology class but thats another story]. no complaints whatsoever. the weather has been beautiful. the summer is fast approaching. i've managed to surround myself with amazing people. i love my family. my life is great.

just missing one thing, but i know that that void will be filled soonerthanlater...

random thoughts in 5...4...3...2...1,

1. i can't stop smiling :)

2. nothings better than good chocolate and cold water as a late night snack.

3. india arie and john legend are coming to charlottesville.

4. current songs on repeat: and i: jill scott, anytime, anyplace: janet jackson, all for love: bilal

5. still writing about African feminism

6. i love simplicity. soft kisses. spontaneity. creativity. demeanor. summer nights. thought provoking conversation. late night pillow talk sessions. music that makes me feel. individuals. silence at the right moments. falling asleep with socks on and waking up barefooted. cool breezes. making others happy. pride. spiritual beings.

7. i really wish girls [especially college women] would stop wearing big neon colored plastic jewelry now.

8. i wish luther vandross was still alive today. along with w.e.b. dubois.

9. i wish i owned that pastel graphic print knit skirt by topshop that i saw in vogue's march [?] issue

10. happy birthday chris.

Matthew Williamson for H&M

back in November, Vogue magazine reported that Matthew Williamson would be collaborating with H&M to create a summer 2009 collection.

"It is an incredible opportunity to be working with H&M, creating a 'Matthew Williamson for H&M' capsule collection. I love the fact that H&M has created a new phenomenon in fashion through the pioneering concept of collaborating with high-end designers to create one-off limited edition capsule collections. I am thrilled that my creations for H&M will be accessible to and hopefully enjoyed by so many people around the world," says Williamson

well... guess what? it's here. check out the colorful, bold, whimsical collection here [http://www.hm.com/nl#/mw/].

super nanny needed

White Plains, New York (The Weekly Vice) -- Madlyn Primoff, a 45-year-old Scarsdale woman was arrested Sunday after she became angry with her two daughters, kicked them out of the car and then drove off.

According to police, Primoff kicked her 10 and 12-year-old daughters out of the car in downtown White Plains, before driving off.

Primoff's 10-year-old daughter told investigators she had been arguing with her sister when her mother stopped the car at and told them to get out. The 12-year-old chased after her mother's car and was reportedly allowed back in, however the younger girl was left alone.

A passerby who saw the girl crying bought her ice cream and contacted White Plains police. Officers searched the area but were unable to find the girl's mother.

Primoff later contacted Scarsdale police and reported the girl missing. The girl was identified when Scarsdale authorities called White Plains police about the missing girl. Primoff was arrested when she came to the station to pick her daughter up.

Primoff, who is a partner in a Manhattan based law firm, pleaded "Not guilty" Monday to a charge of child endangerment. A temporary order of protection was ordered, barring her from having contact with either of her daughters.

chronic:

1) very high-quality weed, generally with red hairs on it.
2) pertaining to a long-lasting medical condition.

p.s. let's not get it twisted, i do NOT smoke.

the take over

this is why my blog is dedicated to beyonce....
Since Beyonce’s going to London November 2nd to perform at O2, 100 British chicks decided to celebrate by dressing up like Bey and performing the entire “Single Ladies" video in the middle of London spontaneously.


p.s. solange is still my favorite

thegood/thebad/theugly

favlist:
my outfit last night: simple, yet so cute. if you read my article in thecmag.com, you would know that all things "tribal" are in style this season... so last night i decided to showcase this trend. as i was going through my closet, i noticed a little black and white, tribal print tunic top that i never wear [that cost me a pretty penny] and i wanted to wear it but it was sheer and i had nothing to put under it [ so i thought]... so i gave up on that shirt as an option and went for the basic [an all black, double u-neck, body hugging american apparel dress] but then i thought to myself, "i have a similar h&m dress just like this that i wore like 4 weeks ago so i can't wear this". i got frustrated because it was getting late and i had nothing to wear. then something clicked, and i decided to put the sheer shirt over-top of the black dress and lets just say, the end result was fabulous. i was proud of myself because i always buy stuff that i NEVER wear but last night, my get-up was on point and i wore 2 items that i usually over-look.
my bed: LAWD! i love to sleep. i'm like a hibernating maniac [matter of fact, i'm going to take a nap after i finish posting] but anyways, i'm just taking advantage on the next few [emphasis on FEW] days that i will actually be able to get adequate sleep. finals are fast approaching and that means non-stop all-nighters for me. please pray for me.
Quest: i was put on and now, i'm never jumping off. absolutely love every single word that comes out of his mouth. distant travels into soul theory: go download it ASAP.
my hair: normally i put that chi to use and straighten my hair but i've decided to do something a little different and wear my hair curly the last few days... my hair is uber-thick and sometimes uncontrollable but i like wearing curls, especially since i can wake up, pull a few hair pins out, and have a super cute style that all the little [chicks] on grounds want to try to imitate now. i seent ya'll wannabes this weekend [bahahahaha] anyways... give up, you can not do it like me.
easter basket leftovers: yum!


leastfavs:
spring fling: this weekend was a complete disappointment. wth??? since when is spring fling weekend worse than a normal weekend here at uva? this weekend just validated why i go home, to richmond, EVERY single weekend. smh, definitely passing up on it next year. i've lost all hope for my university. my hoos just can't get it together to save their lives. highlights of my spring fling weekend [um.... let me see.... uhhhh... im still thinking, get back to me and hopefully i'll have something].
no richmond. its killing me. i just want to go HOME but i'm stuck here.
jamie foxx's little discussion on how he dislikes miley cyrus/hannah montana. shame on jamie. correct me if i'm wrong, but hes a grown ass man and the way he "dawgged" her was far from necessary.
angela davis: came to speak at my school about the "need" to abolish the prison system... i disagreed with all that she said. that is all.
pollen: the shit seems to be deadly. my allergies are KILLING me... eyes all puffy and swollen, nose runny, throat all itchy. but i guess its worth it because i love the warm weather and pretty flowers.

hair

50's retro glam look for the weekend. just experimenting....

got my Marilyn Monroe on real quick.

new posts coming soon.

auf wiedersehen

"Project Runway is returning to television this summer — and it will air on Lifetime."

wtf? what happened to project runway being on bravo??? i am 100% against lifetime because they always depict women being abused by men [and never once have i seen a women depicted in an empowering light on this channel] but i might have to break my anti-Lifetime streak just to watch Project Runway

"the upcoming season of Project Runway relocated from New York to Los Angeles, though it will continue to be hosted by Heidi Klum and judged by Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. Tim Gunn will also mentor the designers. As usual, the finale was shot during New York Fashion Week-- this year on Feb. 20."

word of the week:

echo chamber: a person who totally, obsequiously agrees with everything another person says.

example: “During the meeting my boss Jeremy calls on Jason, who’s a well-known management echo chamber to ask if Jason thinks the Company’s new and much stricter internet policy is a fair one. The rest of us spend the remainder of the meeting retching at the resultant tsunami of blatant ass-smooching.”

not a fan of the above described.

she still got it

i had started to believe that Naomi was only good for bitching around her assistants but apparently she's still got it.
Naomi posses for May's cover of Giant magazine and she looks young, fabulous, and fresh..
