How to make thrifting work for You! – work flow edition

Hey HAWTies Hey,

You HAWTies know that I am all about thrifting & I  hear a lot of talk about ladies not going to the thrift store in fear of not finding anything in their size or find anything they want. Welp! It’s so not true….. There are plenty of lovely garments just wanting for a new lovely home to match up with other garments to make sweet stylish love!!

This week I have brought on a challenge to a few HAWTies to incorporate 1-2 THRIFTED items into their work attire this week. To show you HAWTies that there are many different styles you can achieve while being THRIFTED. You don’t always have to look “retro” or “preppy” you can pull off a “classy” or “classic” look! It’s all in how you style what’s currently in your closet with what you got from the thrift store. Sounds simple right? I feel like you HAWTies can achieve this…. So I plan to show you how to do so this week, with tips as we go!! I hope you HAWTies enjoy.

Stay tuned for the looks & don’t forget to follow us on Instagram, Tumblr & Facebook, we will stop there for now.

Tracee Ellis Ross for UPTOWN magazine

Hey HAWTies Hey,

Sorry for the lack of posts I’ve been a little under the weather. But Nappy Friday doesn’t stop…….. Everybody’s favorite ‘Girlfriend’ Tracee Ellis Ross proves she doesn’t take herself too serious as she poses for the March 2012 issue of UPTOWN Magazine. Inside, she dishes on experimenting with fashion, being shy until she let her hair go naturally and what she’s learned from her mom, Diana Ross.

DIY – Quick Halloween Costumes

Hey HAWTies Hey,

I’m hitting y’all with an OLD POST from last year, & NO I didn’t change the post & am just simply reporting for the sake of GOOD IDEAS! Halloween weekend is approaching soon & we all know some of you HAWTies…..well you know just read on!!!

HAPPY Friday HAWTies!!! Its Halloween weekend & this year I didn’t go hard with costume posts this year. Partially due to me not knowing what I want to be but I have both of them, yes both, picked out. LOL For this weekend I will be the Wicked Witch of the East, its a sexy lingerie witch outfit with a few pieces I added to it. Cant wait to show off the pics, but for work I have a very simple but funny costume. I cant speak on that one just yet cuz I don’t want anyone to bite I have to win the contest at work LOL. Very cheesy yes but I would like to win it. But I will Post Pics HAWTies so you can see what I came up with. But now I wanna help out my HAWTies that love to procrastinate…….

There is always time & items in your closet to put together a quick last-minute costume. Even a quick trip to the dollar store may assist in your efforts. But I have a few tips to get it crack’n for the Holiday Weekend, cuz its always fun to dress up!!!

Sexy Zombie- with all of the Zombie shows & movies out this wont be a wacky idea, specially if you stay in character. LOL! All you need are a few old items in your closet that you plan on throwing out or just not wearing. Try them on make sure you look cute & tear & rip up a shirt or pants leg. And next you need makeup  which you can hit up the dollar store for.

HAWT Clown- Who doesn’t have a pair of leggings & maybe even a leotard in their closet. LOL well If you don’t, don’t judge those of us who do. But this can double as a french clown, you would also need a few scarves to pin on the collar & maybe sleeves on your leotard, almost like a jester & of course you can find killer make up ideas online for clowns

Cousin It’s Wifey – Now if your like me then you have plenty of old wigs in my hair box. LOL So why not put it to use, now I would suggest to give it a quick rinse thru to make sure your not smelling ratchet hair all night, but put on your cutest freak um dress on & put the wig so it covers most of your face, throw on a pair of HAWT shades to give it a diva appeal!!

Convicted School Teacher – With teachers getting caught doing the do with their students why not make a joke of it, put on your cutest Conservative / sexy outfit with a pair of those nerd glasses that are in & grab those hand cuffs out the naughty box & put it on one wrist. LOL. You can have fun with the story of what you are & who you did…….

Nicki Minaj – Since she is full of character & colors it doesn’t take much, but a killer wig to pull off a Miss Minaj, grab some leggings & put on a colorful low cut shirt with your best push up & get a bag of balloons from the dollar store & blow them up & tape or glue or pin them to your shirt ( think of her pom pom shirt) & make sure you stuff that read & slap on some pink lips. Maybe even grab a MIC & randomly yell out lyrics of her. ALL YOU BITCHES IS MY SONS, & pull out a baby bib from the dollar store on them hoes… LOL

 I hope this helps out some or even spark up your own ideas. If you made your costume or yours is just to cute for words please send them over to FancyDeeva@gmail.com & I will add them to a future post!!! Happy Halloween HAWTies!!!!!!!!

TREND SPOTTING………………………….. Faux FUR!!!

HAWties I know most of us cant even stand to think the thought about rock’n a Real Fur! So thank the Fashion Gods for Faux Fur!!!!!!!! Those old school Faux Furs n your grandma’s closets are making a come back. Faux furs this winter will make you feel elegant and keep you warm on those nippy days. So if you don’t have one, making a trip down to your local thrift store could give you more options in style in varieties for a cheap cost! So you can rock this trend effortlessly this season with these helpful hints & pics. Please trust & believe that you will see a lot of this, well depending where you live! LOL but why not be a trendsetter in your area or school if no one else is… Check it out HAWTies.

  • Keep it simple & Tailored – look for jackets/coats that have darting (vertical seems that run length of the garment), which gives the coats a more tailored shape , YOU WANT A SHAPE!!
  • Remember that Fur adds bulk to your frame, AGAIN YOU WANT A SHAPE!!
  • If you got a bigger frame, your might want to option for a faux fur vest instead of that floor length faux minx.
  • If your top heavy, go for a mid-thigh or longer coat to avoid  adding bulk to an already  bulky area.

 

 

 


Minimal – Delicate pieces with light details; trimming or fur collars make for simple features that still make a statement.

 

Vest Style - Try pairing your vest with tighter, close-fitting shirts to balance its volume. As well loose, peasant-style tops can create a chill, bohemian look.

 

Accessorize – If you’re hesitant about leaping right into a fur vest or jacket try a dash of detail;  boots, hats, earmuffs, bolero … anything goes.

 

 

 

Faux Fur dont’s:

Overdue it – Covering yourself with head to fur just ain’t cool! Try to only invest in one piece and use it wisely. Disclaimer: my comment under the images was an exaggeration, don’t wear everything at the same time!

Nasty Patterns – Some patterns just aren’t for fur, In my opinion, leopard prints, zebra, or any shapes.

 

Shoddy Synthetic – Horrible texture and nappy looking furs are a NO, NO..pay attention to this!

I hope this helps you all out HAWTies, now please send over pics of your Fauz Fur outfits to Fancydeeva@gmail.com so I can post you lovies!!!!!!!!!

VMA’s Best Dressed 2011 Red Carpet

Hey HAWTies, Last nite was the VMA’s & even though I had to work OT this morning, I still stayed my tail up to watch the whole show. LOL. Yes I know & I know I’m not the only one guilty of this either HAWTies, LOL, so don’t judge me. Any who, you know the fashion & style at the awards was good, bad & ugly  LOL but let’s start with the GOOD first shall we HAWTies…………….

 

 

Beyonce arrives at the 2011 MTV Video Music

 

CONGRATS to Bey & Jay on the baby, were all praying for a healthy baby that looks mostly like its mom, but this dress is super cute on the mom to be. She has been hiding that tummy of hers quite well, but this dress was the perfect outfit to show off the love growing inside of her. I hope to see more HAWT maternity gear from Bey, school these basic preggers why don’t you……

 

I loved how she threw down the MIC to rub on her belly, did you hear that sound as she did. Them record sales going up on you BASICs lol, but it was cute how she was singing to her Man & he looked very excited

 

 

 

Brittany Spears looks great, I honestly haven’t seen her look this good in a minute, SERIOUSLY! I get tired of seeing her half ass naked. But last night that all black everything was working for her. I want those shoes!! O & that dance tribute was just as cute as the outfit. Those little girls was WERK’n it, but damn did her speech have to introduce BEY, THAT ISH WAS KINDA FOUL!!! Just say’n

 

 

Not sure on why Zoe was there other than the fact that she has the Kick ass movie coming out, but none the less she looked very beautiful & I’m a sucka for black n white, those shoes are screaming out to me.

 

 

Kells looked almost a little Ice Skater-ish LOL but its kinda HAWT, I really love the silhouette of the dress & the gold embellishing very HAWT for the singer that hit platinum status on Motivation.

 

 

OK HAWTies IDK who this chick is LOL her name is Victoria Justice, I mean I could Google her but guess what……………….don’t feel like it LOL. Kill Me, lol any who this dress is really cute to me. I may have opt’d for open toes but hey I’m a little different

 

 

Katie Holmes was released from the dungeon that is known as Tom Cruise for this show LOL, naw but I like the booties with the baby dollish dress. Its werk’n.

 

Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose photographed on the red carpet at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.

 

Amber may always be dubbed as the whore of the industry, but I actually like her & her style & her MAN lol, but her all white jumper is very low key, but its her man’s time to shine. But you still cant help but to stare at her beautiful self.

 

NOW TIME FOR THE BAD………….

 

Loves me some Katy Perry, & she would be the first white girl I kiss but this spin on a Chinese style type dress isn’t doing it for me at all. I normally love her outfits/costumes but this is just to much. From the colors to the the little shingle things hanging in the front & BACK of the dress, its just Micheal Jackson……BAD

 

Miley looks very grown, a little to grown. The print on this dress is giving an old fashion appeal. I like the cut & silhouette but its making me think of a glammed up golden girl for some strange reason. Not a good choice

 

 

Lil Mama photographed on the red carpet at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.

 

Little mama ain’t never really been the trend setter like she thinks she is in the fashion dept. but I’m sure you HAWTies are asking me thru the screen, WHY THE THE HELL AINT SHE ON THE UGLY LIST? LOL & for that HAWTies I have 2 words…………………….. the shoes! The shoes are pure HAWTness but with that dead ass bowl bob on her head & that grandma dress, now if she would have that dress hemmed a little higher & pushed those boobs closer together she may have gotten a little further. She better be happy that Joan Rivers doesn’t know who the hell she is LOL or else she would have PROBLEMS PROBLEMS ( in my best Martin voice)

 

 

This last pick I was on the fence with

 

Only cuz she is my crush, she made it on the BAD list but this was just way to damn muvh Nikki. I had so much to look at on this outfit I got a freaking headache & thought I was in a damn Dr. Suess book crossed with a Nightmare before Christmas movie. Shoot I wanted to take a damn E pill after seeing this just to come down from the ISH. We all get your a character & a little cartoonish, but we all also know your ass is bout 30, no way your younger than Bey, love the fuck outta you bitch but c’mon (dead face)

 

 

AND THE UGLY…..

 

 

 

 

Jessie J, sorry to hear that you broke your leg, but you could have thought of something way better than this get up. HATED IT!!!! was she going for the Jerrys kids on sparkle crack look. SMH at myself for these thoughts & her for actually wearing this outfit.

 

 

 

Deena Deena Deena, WTF. Seriously no one from the cast tired to stop this look, (dead face)! OKAy I cant recall ever seeing a rainbow red (black) carpet, loves the rainbow but normally you would smile or have skittles at the end of the rainbow but nope all we got was a little stack of stank shit that’s so small theres no way her legs should be open as she poses, but I love her on the show.

 

 

Adele is one of the most talented singers out, PERIOD, she goes HAM!!!!! If you haven’t heard her album then your sleeping, but on the real I’m not feeling this grandma as dress with the great grandma shoes.  Okay the shoes aren’t that bad but with this dress, I wanna take her to a Home an OLD one. Instead of looking classic like she was going for, she looks like that classic token old lady from any giving family TV show. I’m not buying this….

 

 

Selena Gomez LOL, I don’t think I liked her last red carpet look. She looks as if she is bout to bust out with her own vampire movie called, I bite a Bebier. LOL with the gold shoes. WTF was she thinking, this is freaking ugly LOL just for reals.

 

Kreayshawn photographed on the red carpet at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.

 

Lastly, Kreayshawn, I was pushing for you to win that Moon man. She is from the Bay, Oakland to be exact, same as myself. But I cannot codone this WACK ish right here. This is your first time at the VMA’s honey, & it maya be your last!! #justsaying that video of that wach freestyle isnt doin you any good & neither is this terrible Remy Ma weave & Mini Mouse….ummm dress thingie. Im going to just cut this short right now cuz I really dont like talking bout folks from my area, not for fear but outta respect. I know what your thinking HAWTies, does she know how much she looks like a basic Bitch from Oakland??? O, no ya’ll wasnt LOL damn did I type that out loud?

 

Well of course you HAWTies know I want yall to type to me to tell me what you thought of last nights fashion.
