Laced Up and Ready to Go

Good morning my love bunnies it's New Years Eve can you believe it 2014 is over, I'm going to go ahead and say this year has been a year of many firsts for me and I'm hoping that the New Year brings with it many of its own joys.

What I got for Christmas!!!!!

 Words cannot express how grateful I am for everyone in my life, and even though this post is beyond late I thought it would be good to share it with you guys. Christmas 2014 has come and gone but the memories are still very fresh in our hearts and minds, its only been 5 days lol.

A Big Thank YOU & Merry Christmas to Everyone!!!!

Hello everyone, I suppose it's Christmas and we're either with family, friends, or alone at home with ourselves which is not a bad thing. Being alone on Christmas is fine, I was alone for 10 years in a row and I loved every minute of it.

A Leg Up this Holiday Season

One of my favorite Maxi dresses of all time and I only wore once can you believe that and it rained and I had to wear flats because the event I went to was outdoors and it was wet muddy and gross.
I got this dress at Coochianna's in Kingston Jamaica but this style of dress is bigger than ever so you can find it anywhere.

Glitter and Glamour for the holidays

The holidays are here in full effect and this week I wanted to do a series of looks you could wear to a Christmas party or just out for a night on the town with your girls. What I love about this is how

When It's Cold Outside

Tis the season for Christmas parties and celebration and just because it happens to be freezing outside does not mean I can't look fancy right. I love this look and I am obsessed with this Faux Fur jacket I bought a couple months ago I wanted to keep the look simple and allow the jacket to be the main

Birthday Dinner with my Mister

I've always been blessed to have amazing Birthdays never been disappointed no matter what was going on my life, when my birthday rolled around things worked themselves out. Yesterday was no different I still have over 2000 Facebook messages to respond to from friends and strangers wishing me a happy birthday, I like to respond to every single one of them every year I dedicate a day for this and I'll get to it.

Some good ole fashion, Red Flannel on my Birthday!!

I took a walk on the river yesterday with my Baba Bear just taking the city in and freezing almost to death, as I absolutely always refuse to wear a bulky jacket all in the name of not ruining my outfit lol. I wore a flannel shirt and surprisingly they are really warm, I mean it won't help you if you wear it without a jacket but its a nice layering piece. 

Digging through my old photos again!!!

I've had the opportunity to work with some amazing Jamaican photographers in the past, I was riffing through some folders on my computer trying to clean up all the junk I had stored in here when I started finding tons of footage from old photoshoots. So for the next couple of months every now and again I will be posting a photoshoot TBT every now and again.

Meet James Black soon to be the next Big Jamaican Export

Owner and visionary of YC James Black .

Yes Jamaica is known for a lot of amazing things, the fastest man in the world, Bob Marley,  Reggae music, Dancehall with icons among icons, we're a small island that packs a lot of punch. It should come as no surprise to you that Fashion is one of those things, allow me to introduce you to James Black a woman I met a couple years ago and whose personal brand I have become obsessed with.

Getting ready for the holidays & my Drug store favorites

L'oreal True Match in the color Nutbrown

Hello my love bunnies its December 1st, the start of the advent calendar I love this time of year, this is my favorite time of year and on top of it my birthday is in just a couple days, *sigh* the stress of getting older in a very young world. Im learning to cope a lot better with my age these days though. I found a couple treasures that I bought just for the holidays and that I want to share with you.

Thanks Giving Shenanigans

Me taking the finished produced of my Berry Pie out of the oven.

Yesterday America celebrated Thanks Giving and I got into the spirit of things because I love Holidays, this wasn't my first Thanks Giving but it was my first time having Thanks Giving with my in-laws.

Look Effortless in a Sweater Dress

Why have I never worn a sweater dress before, where have they been all my life  need at least 10 more of these in my closet they are pure genius. I love the print on this dress because it reminds me of the 90's and the 90's was a good time,  any dress with floral or rosy print would usually be more of a Spring look however the grey and black color scheme makes this ideal for winter fashion mixes. Plus I don't follow rules I make my own I might wear this again a summer night to roam the city with my friends who knows how I'll feel in a few months lol.

Faux Fur is better in White

Its been too cold for words lately I got this Juicy Couture Faux Fur vest last year and I'm extremely obsessed with it, I have always loved the look of a fur vest I'm not sure why. They really help when you're trying to layer up and stay warm too I paired mine with a black sweater top I stole from my mom almost four years ago. I've worn it more than a thousand times and it has held up strong and no sign of fading even though black clothes are known for that.

Wearing my Favorite Jeans

On Wednesdays we wear PINK

I rarely ever wear pink but when I saw this pink dress on Everything Mahogany Online Store I thought this might be the day I wear pink. I had to have it and I love the fit because of the stretchy fabric I can wear it now and later when I pack on those few extra pounds after the holidays, which is bound to happen.

Green dresses, Patties and Road trips, sweet sweet Jamaica!

I Can't believe two weeks flew by just like that, my final week in Jamaica I spent it in my home town with my family. My trip was just too short I was having way too  much fun having been away from Jamaica for a year I was seeing Jamaica through a different pair of eyes, I was able to enjoy it stress free.

Hello Kitty Pumpkins and Roasted seeds | Happy Halloween

My Hello Kitty Pumpkin wasn't very scary but it was very Cute lol

I went to a Pumpkin patch my first ever about three weeks ago and just got around to carving the pumpkin this past weekend. I was deliberating between carving it and painting it but I figured, let me embrace the cultures of my new home I decided to carve my pumpkin if just this once.

Statement Jackets

Mondays are the start of the work  week, so I like to Jazz up my Monday morning with a bold statement piece, of course this outfit is not tied to Monday wear it any day of the week. 

My Current Face Routine

These goodies I picked up from Ulta is currently what Im using on my face.

So it is very important that I switch up my face routine because my skin gets used to products and then after a while the product doesn't work. So I went to Ulta to get this face mask I had seen on Pinterest, it was said that it is very effective and it only cost $5, so of course I was interested.

Kanye's Simple yet effective style

If there is one guy who can pull off shirt and jeans that guy is Kanye West, Kanye West has said things and done things that at some point of our lives 98% of us has disagreed with him and even questioned our sanity after we heard it. However we can't deny that he is a creative genius, an artist and his style is phenomenal. 

Keeping things Neutral

My obsession with Pumpkins are as real as it gets. Pumpkin pie anyone.

Sweatshirt Season, The Launch of L.Massive

Fall is here *Twirls*  even though I grew up in Jamaica and I'm used to having the beautiful sunshine all year round, I must say I am enjoying the change of seasons.  I'm enjoying the different fashions that come with the different seasons, it's making sense to me now, the different colors that go when.  The weather has been dropping and a small chill has been coming and going so I decided to re-launch my t shirt design line L.Massive short for #LAURENMASSIVE. 

White after Labour Day

Went on a early morning adventure this morning and did some site seeing/ Exploring, I love the days when we just get up and decide to do random stuff lol.

I went for a clean all white look with a black leather Jacket, black combat boots and my large Louis Vuitton hand bag.  You guys know how I love Black and White it's always in season for me. 

Shea Deep Conditioning Mask for Damaged Hair

Now I have been having ups and downs with my hair for the past 9 months. My hair has been growing thats for sure but I suffered from serious breaking and I'll admit I fell off of my hair care regime but not to the extent where my hair was breaking. The majority of the products I was using to care for my hair I can't get my hands on most of them.

Question and Answer Challenge. Part 1

Hello love bunnies so a lot of my youtube subscribers and a lot of my twitter followers asked me to do a question and answer video, and yes the questions came rolling in.

Realistic Girl Trends you should Try.

Fashion is definitely a fabulous thing and it can get very expensive if you allow yourself to fully indulge, so today I wanted to write a different kind of post and kind of stray away from closet expectations to something I think every girl, no matter your age should do.

Styling in these Joggers

As the weather drops and Summer waves us good bye, I've been warming up my wardrobe a little bit. I'm wearing men's joggers because I prefer how they look on me as oppose to women's one, I like my joggers to be a bit lose and the female ones I can never quite find the fit I want.

My Favorite Looks from Fashion Rocks

Ok this is one of my favorite events of all time the fusion of fashion and music is something I can really appreciate.  Fashion Rocks is a television special /live show celebrating the powerful fusion of fashion and music. The show was hosted by Ryan Seacrest at the Barclays center last night, there were live performances by some of musics powerful trendsetters. 

I picked out a few of my favorite looks from the red carpet to share with you guys.

Bring the 90's Back it was a good time

I've been a having a very busy weekend I took on the role of re organizing my entire closet and prep it for Fall. I took out a ton of stuff I wasn't wearing anymore and packed them in a white garbage bag for Good Will.

New York Fashion Week has begun, Next year I hope to be there and check it off on my bucket list. The fashion shows have started and that means the runway and street will be packed with fashionable everything!!!!!  and let me just say I love the looks that BCBG has been show casing.

My Favorite Beyonce Style Moments

Beyonce turns 33 today!! Aging is a very tricky thing for us women but with women like Beyonce, Jlo, Halle Berry and I could go on and on, they've made aging seem less scary to us ordinary women. I don't declare myself a Huge Beyonce fan, none the less I'm a fan and I've always admired her, even though I don't always agree with all of her style choices. I still love her I loved her when she was doing that whole too much bronzer make up look, to when she had those micro braids, to when she used to let her mom style her, Destiny's Child and the super big hair days, to today where she has completely discovered her style and owned it.

A little dinner & walking with friends

How I love little Towns, it's September I used to hate September but now I find myself looking forward to each new month as if it were a new opportunity because they are really.  I had dinner recently with some people that are very dear to me and then we did a little bit of walking around in the cutest town ever.  They had some of the cutest named stores and everyone just looked so happy.

Little is much, period!   Trendy is the last stage before tacky - Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel/FENDI)

In effort to be so "on point & trendy" a lot of folks have lost their individual sense of style and have become what I would call fashion-puppets.

A Very Important Meeting

Hello Love Bunnies so I had a very important meeting today and I wore my lucky skirt. It happens to be one of my favorite skirts ever and the last time I wore I had the most amazing day of my life, and so you already know today went off without a hitch. :)

A Little bit a Jazz, good for ya soul

Who Knew I liked Jazz music I went to Jazz in the Park and even though forgot to bring chairs there was few people including us, just lying on the grass. Man there is nothing like live Jazz music the saxophone solos will have you saying "Dam that's talent" Listening to 2014 Grammy Winner Gregory Porter LIVE oh gosh yes he deserved that grammy.

My Holy Grail Make-up Foundations

I am not a Foundation girl I've said this many times, I don't like the feel of all that makeup on my face. Honestly I believe that the reason why my skin is in such a good place is because I hardly ever wear foundation, I let my skin breath as much as possible. 

My Fantasy Tea Party and who Would I invite

I have always been fascinated with the idea of a grown up tea party, I love tea so of course the idea of fresh brewed tea and pastry appeals to me a lot!!! So who would top the list for my invites, well this is a fantasy so Im just gonna go ahead and invite whoever I want lol.
