all get wasted...

hey lovers!!
ok, so my husband & i ((& a few friends)) decided to hit Atlantic City for a night of fun.  we were celebrating out 2 year wedding anniversary & we had a semi-decent night ((a whole other story LOL)). Either way we decided to hit up Harrah's Pool, a night club. 

this is what it looks like from the outside of course-from the view of our hotel room ((from another time I went)). 

 i didn't take as many pics of myself as i had desired, but what the hell, the few that i have works well. my ensemble is a total compilation of items new & old. 

 the dress is from H&M

the vest is from Express

the gloves are from Aldo shoes

the purse is from the limited

the shoes are from Forever 21

sooo...i really && truly only have one solo shot & here it is!!  i do want to apologize for the limitations & it was my intention to get a few good shots buuuut a few good shots had my focus elsewhere LOL

i  also decided to include some pics of my accessories & my make-up...

below are MAC's 'Vegas Volt" lipstick

MAC's "Expensive Pink" eye shadow

MAC's "Blacktrack" the fluid line

MAC's studio fix fluid  ((all thanx to Bev's creative eye))

Maybelline's "Blackest Black" Great Lash mascara

not shown--i also used Rimmel London's "Fix & Perfect" foundation primer && MAC's "Lip Glass".

i also decided to include some pics of the night club...the only advice I have if you decide to go here is to NOT where shoes that can be ruined by water.   there is a huge pool & there's water all over the ground surrounding it--which cannot be avoided.   my friend wore taupe suede pumps & they are RUINED!!

bad weather cute outfit...

greetings to you all...if I even have any friends/fans/followers yet! I could be talking to myself for all i know. LOL. yet, i do know that building a fan base takes time & i PROMISE that my team & i will continue to make posts in hopes that you beautiful guys & gals are listening, reading, & enjoying!!

 well, I am posting a few pics from yesterday..which was a terrible day to wear what i chose to.  i checked the weather ((as I always do)) but my iPhone's weather source spoon fed me BS on a platter.  as soon as i headed down the parkway, the clouds started to roll in & the raindrops started.  this intro was required because i decided to find a nice shelter to take my pics...which ended up being my laundry room in the basement.   so, i must apologize for the unglamorous scenery in advance ((my husband said it looks like i took my pics in the hood..whatever that means)).  needless to say i became quite conscious of my background & contemplated recreating the look in a place more scenic. then i just figured...what the hell!  if the environment throws you off so you cannot get the full effect, then once again i apologize & will do much better next time.  so without further delay...

the blazer which is 3/4 sleeve was purchased at H&M ((one of my favorite stores))

 the jean dress was also purchased at H&M from last spring

the stockings were from Express

the purse is vintage ((Good Will))

 
& the boot are faux suede which i purchased a few years back from 1 of those stores that sell shoes from lines such as wanted...what am i getting at?  i have no clue who made them!

here are a few more pics of me in my laundry room...

 

& finally!! a view from behind ((a back shot...LOL)) 

 

this look is totally simple to recreate & make your own IF you like & if you don't please don't hesitate to let me know why you're hatin' on me! LOL.  but, seriously, send me some suggestions: how would you have made it different?  better?  email me your recreations if you would like & i could post them on here as well..yeah I'm gonna let you all get your shine on if you'd like.  the email once again is CERTIFIEDkei@gmail.com
peace && Blessing--Kei <3

welcome....

INTRODUCING the newest, illest, freshest fashion blog that has been birthed for no other reason than to rock your computer box ((blackberries & iPhones included))! seriously...i would like to utilize this 1st entry as an in-depth intro. 

my name is Kei..that's me!!

& as we grow you will indeed learn more about me ((as well as the rest of us)).  there's just no possible way to EXPLAIN us in a single post. I can give you a little insight by naming a few of my fashion goddesses --> Rihanna, Gwen Stefani ((yes! i am indeed a Harajuku lover)), & Katy Perry. I do want to stress that I have no limitations on my style...my attire varies with my mood & the weather because i wear my heart on my sleeve--literally! i am definitely a student of street fashion & have no problem with gawking at a bad miss with admiration for her wardrobe. BUT enough about me! I have 2 more partners who will also be posting to this blog frequently, sometimes indirectly. 

next is my "boss" & best friend Kris..yup that's him

 he currently freelances as a photographer/stylist.  he is also the former BCBG specialist at Macy*s & is now an intern at Alice & Olivia in NYC.  his ultimate goal is to be the owner of a model agency.  BTW...when i said he was my boss, i failed to mention that i work as his assistant, so everything he did/does you can add to my resume as well LOL. 
he is also works solo on his new blog --> KRISLLOYD-fashionistimeless.blogspot.com

however, unlike myself, Kris is into the high fashion scene.  don't get me wrong..he loves his H&M!! his wardrobe still seems to be overflowing with the designer wear that most of us can only dream about. HE IS A SERIOUS SHOP-A-HOLIC!!

peep his shoe collection everyone..this is not a stock room!!

see what i mean when i say most can only dream about?  LOL

next is Bev & she is a GENIOUS!  check her & her skills out..

bella Bev is our make-up artist & hair stylist... don't think i can stress enough how incredibly amazing she is at what she does.  don't believe me??  take a look...

at this point you may be asking why this isn't called Kris, Kei, & Bev; understandable.  Kris & i have great history & the name was created before we met this beauty.  Kris & Bev were actually coworkers at Macy*s where she did her thing at Lancome.  she is very much an equal partner, contributor, as well as a bonded friend ((you hear me Bev--you're stuck!!))

yet, we alll come from different backgrounds and i think this makes us extremely unique...what we have is a collection that represents so many.   we truly represent, & will illustrate to you all, a melting pot of all your favorite fashion magazines.  we do it all...or at least we try damn hard to!! 

we do photo shoots.. 

fashion shows...

we DJ...

we style...

we're fans...

but most importantly we are great friends.  our family doesn't end here, we have so many contributors. We're lovers of life who just want to share our passions with you.  together we have a lot to offer!! 

so fellow bloggers follow & support us & we'll do the same..lets NETWORK!!  readers please follow us as well!  we encourage you all to challenge us, question us, critique us, offer advice & make comments.  TELL US WHAT YOU WANT...trust we have a person who can help.

before i go --> my twitter kissOFdepth & check me out at www.chictopia.com where my user name is the same ((I am also new to this site)). Kris' twitter --> Krislloyd_84 & his blog once again is krislloyd-fashionistimeless.blogspot.com
