Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas !!!

Besos my Beauties

Nicki Minaj, Jay Z, Tyra Banks...Sagittarius I loveeeee all y'all .....

The season for Sagittarius is here and that means Happy Birthday to me!!!

 It also means finding the perfect outfit and to my pleasant surprise fellow Sagittarian Nicki Minaj adorned the exact pants I wore for my birthday dinner.  The pants pictured below were perfect for a fall approaching winter night found during the November and December months.  I paired them with a see through buttoned up gold trimmed black shirt. I loved the outcome and my black booties and black and gold bag topped of  the perfect birthday outfit.

MY NICKI MINAJ PEDICURE

Decisions, decisions...

As the summer winds down its a good time to rock all your favorite pastels nail polishes.

I adore the color pink and next in line would be green so you can imagine my struggle between Pink Friday and Did it on em. These pretty pastel shades are a beautiful baby pink and baby green made by OPI alongside Nicki Minaj.

Summer time is here and I feel these colors capture the feel of my all time favorite season.

Still not sure what color to choose I love them both but as you all know I can be very loyal to pink.

OPI has so much selection just take a look at all the colors I had to browse through. I'm a girl that loves options so this made my day.

Stay tuned my beauties and I will keep you posted on my final decision

August is here and although it can be the hottest time of year it's also a sad reminder that summer is coming to an end. However, I can always count on fashion and beauty to brighten my day. There is nothing better than pink to do just that.

Take a look at these hot shades of pink I chose to rock this summer...

OOTD PURPLE AND YELLOW!!!

Keep cool this summer....

With temperatures at 90 degrees but with a feeling of 120... We are tempted to wear nothing but a bikini out on the street.

Don't worry there's way to stay cool and look chic.

I paired a cute yellow sheer ruffle button up and complimentary purple bandage skirt. The wedges dressed my outfit up but not too much making it a perfect outfit for just about any occasion.

I couldn't begin to imagine how bulky and uncomfortable a tote or speedy bag would feel so this Fendi handbag was just what I needed to complete my look.

Enjoy my beauties!!!

Flawless wedding makeup!!!

Every girl dreams of her wedding day and how perfect everything will be and it should! This makeup is beautiful golden and shimmery. The shades and tones compliment her eye and hair color so that she has a polished and natural look for her big day...

Be pretty in pink this summer!

It's all about pastels and light iridescent shades for your nails this summer. The trend of neon pink and orange nails is currently over so please don't do it!!! Aim for pretty pinks, pastels purples, nudes and lightly flushed oranges.

I am in love with this pink from my favorite nail salon!!! Take look and get an idea of an absolute perfect pink for this summer that can be easily worn straight into early fall...

MY OOTD FOR THE BEAUTY SHOW

All black everything with a pop of white.

This outfit was cute and comfortable which is a girls dream come true.

The International Beauty Show

Take a look at what the beauty show has to offer. Whether you want to brush up on your haircutting skills or watch a weave application, the beauty show has it all.

Don't miss out today is the last day the show will be in NY.

Enjoy my beauties!!!

The IBS show was an unforgettable event !!!

The international beauty show is running from April 22-24 in New York and is a great place for the professional and novice alike.

The show was filled with demonstrations on models and passersby, also just about every celebrity hair stylist and makeup artist was in the building.

It's an amazing way to spend the day and save on your favorite hair products and equipment.

Ask your hairstylist if you and a couple of friends can join him/her , it will be a day you won't forget.

Celebrity photographer Keston Duke and myself

4x Emmy award winning make-up artist for The View and Co-creator of KD Kuffs, Karen Dupiche  and I.

My mentor and dear friend hair consultant and celebrity hair stylist , Richard L. Greene and me.

Rihanna Is Just Beautiful in Harper's Bazaar!

Hey my beauties, you know I love all things Rihanna and this is hot off the press, Rihanna's unreleased cover shoot look for Harpers Bazaar magazine.

This hair trend is here to stay!!! Just do it right.

A sleek high bun is sexy and looks effortless that's why celebrities and fashionistas alike have been rocking this style since the start of this year. If done right it makes your eyes and skin pop and hoops or studs can be worn depending on the outfit.

This style is straight from the red carpet it was featured in Alice+Olivia's Spring 2012 collection and it's one of Kim K's favorite styles.


She wears it here with natural makeup and dramatic eyelashes and it looks just perfect.


Now, Ciara once again disappoints me and I can't imagine she hired someone to execute this hairstyle. She does not even get an E for effort. This look is meant to appear as natural and sleek as possible so attaching wrong colored weave and worn crooked at that is not gonna cut it.


If you want this look but your hair isn't long enough check out your local beauty supply store they have faux buns you can pin to your ponytail and it guarantees a classic neat look.

Try it and enjoy my beauties!!!

Pretty in Blue

I adore this look because I can wear it anywhere at anytime!

Seductive blues and sparkly nudes make this eye pop day or night.

I used contrast, atlantic blue, vex and rice paper eyeshadow from MAC

I used spiked eyebrow pencil from MAC and zoom lash mascara from MAC as well

Enjoy my beauties !!!

Let's get crackin'!!!

They finally blessed New York and gave us a Joe's crab shack! No more crossing the bridge to New Jersey to get some of this delicious goodness.

The food is always fresh and satisfying and since seafood is one of my favorite things to eat I was in love.

The atmosphere was great due to the happy staff and inviting host and don't forget the dancing and singing they all do on any given song; this place rocks!!!

I ordered The KJ steampot which consist of...

Snow Crab, seared scallops and mussels in a light Kendall Jackson wine sauce with hints of garlic, pepper and notes of citrus.

And let me tell you it was magically delicious served with sweet corn on the cob and red potatoes I devoured every last bit.

The drinks are served in glass jars that are yours to keep and the drinks are far from weak. The price may run you a little more than Red Lobster but it is totally worth it.

So get dressed grab a friend or two and get crackin' you will not regret it.
