...Thinking Outside The Box*

Fall is in the air -- and now I'm thinking about protective styling for the winter.
So it's official.  The 90's are making a come back.... I'm thinking box braids this year.

Numerous celebs have been seen spotted rockin' the style this year....

Jada Pickett Smith rocks box braids pretty often...
We're starting to see them more often, especially with Willow's rise to fame for "whipping her hair!"

Brandy brought the style back this year... Braids were all she wore when she made her first debut, and inspired me to wear the style.  I wanted to be just like her!


Solange Knowles -- LOVING the waist length braids she wore earlier this year, but I know it would take FOREVER to get them done...


So, what do you all think? Are you thinking of protective styling for the winter months?
The next BIG task would be to find someone who braids in the "frozen tundra..."

...i kissed a horse*

A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence. 
 ~Pam Brown

So I was invited last week -- by the most amazing group of photographers to go shoot at a Peruvian horse farm.  You KNOW I had to jump at the opportunity -- even though I had to work...
I had a GREAT time -- and I think we captured some AMAZING images! I hope to shoot with them again!
Here are a few of my favorites...

In today's show (my newscast) -- we got to meet some of the record breakers who will be in the Guinness World Record book 2012.

This takes so much dedication -- thank you Aevin, for being such an amazing source of inspiration!

...Crazy for Missoni*

~ Angela Missoni

Can we say black Friday in September???
By time I got off work -- Target's website had crashed and EVERY piece I had my eye on is SOLD OUT!?!
I was even a little curious and went to e-bay were I saw people were selling the pieces for CRAZY prices! People like that SUCK!  Oh well, I guess I'll have to try the stores....
In the mean time here's some of my favs...

~ Iman

So... I walk into work today -- and everyone's like *hey superstar...* and *the model just arrived...*
Confused as what -- one of the web producer informed me that a copy of the new issue of YOU Magazine was at the assignment desk.
I started paging through the issue and not only did I get my picture on the front cover... they also gave me a two page spread! I am soo flattered...
Now -- it's time to find copy's to send to all the love ones ;)
