Summer Must Haves. . .

So since I havent done a fashion section in my blog, I decided to do a post about some of things that I think are a must have of the summer, some things I own myself & some that I dont. .here goes. . .

Maxi Dresses

I know they've been out for awhile, but I just bought my first maxi dress at the beginning of this summer and I love it. I feel that it can be worn for a dressy occasion with a necklace or braclet added, or maybe just to go to the mall in. I like mine because its comfortable and thats what I usually look for when I'm buying clothes. I think its great for the summer.



Printed Skirts. .

I think that cute printed skirts are perfect for this summer. I've been noticing people pairs these with a tank top or wife beater and I think its very cute. To the club or to the mall or movies, I think it is a great outfit.

Fab Sandals. .

I'm sure Im not the only that has noticed everyone wearing this shoes. I currently own two pairs, a black and brown pair[which is shown above] and i love them. I also think these can be worn with anything, whether is to dress up or dress down. So hopefully you have a pair of these somewhere in your closet! :)

Funky Shades. .




Personally, I've always loved a cute pair of shades and I own plently. I mean on those sunny days you have something to shield your eyes why not wear something cute, you know? Something new that I have noticed are the new printed sunglasses that have been in Forever 21 [shown above] and many other stores and I think they are def my next purchase.




Well hopefully you enjoyed my lil fashion segment, until next time. . .♥

I meannnn...really though?

Sooo I have decided to do a section where I point out current events on just someone that needs to be recognized at the time && that just made me be like i meannn really though? In other words im just looking at them like they crazy for those who dont understand lol.

OKK sooo for the moment its T-Pain.

I dont even care to go into his whole explanation over this ridiculousness. I swear, you give black folks a lil bit of money and they dont know how to act. Smh. I meann really though..?

New Flava in Ya Ear__[Electrik Red]

Just wanted to introduce yall to Def Jam`s new girl group [Electrik Red]. I know they're not new new artists because they've been out for a lil bit. You might have caught their video on BET, 'So Good' and album 'How to Be a Lady' [which was written by The Dream] was just recently released a few weeks back. I havent had a chance to buy it and add to my collection but I have checked out the edited version of the album on imeem.com. So I advise you all out there to do the same! Personally they remind me of lil mini Keri Hilsons lol I like the vibe of their music and I like that they arent like the rest of the girl groups that have came before them. I feel like they are taking risks with their music and that is what I really admire about them.

Even though I dont believe guy or girl groups these days will ever last past their second album, if they get that far, but I hope these young ladies do.

* Since I cant seem to post their So Good video from anyyy site[ ughhh ] or even embed a song from imeem which is really frustrationg i guess ill just leave yall to check out their music on your own Enjoy. . .♥

&& The Wait is Over.

So I wanted to wait a lil bit after every body hopped off Drake`s [insert bad word here] before I posted something about him. If you all know me, there is no secret that I love me some Drake and starting this blog I couldnt wait to do updates about him and put pictures up all that. lol. So after waiting around while all the hype settled down, I finally found the right time to do a blog on him.

I pretty much knew about Drake from back in middle school. If you watched Noggin you would know that Drake [gov't name :Aubrey Drake Graham] played Jimmy on Degrassi for like the first seasons or whateva. So like many others, when I heard him rap I was just like are you kidding me thats Jimmy from Degrassi. lol. So after being introduced to his music I fell in love. ♥

But ever since he released his mixtape, So Far Gone, my love for Mr. Drake Drizzy Rodgers has been slowly fading away. Everybody and they mama [literally] started to listen to Drake and it kind of turned me off and often ashamed to even put him on my status because most likely someone earlier that day had it as theirs. And fact that my litte cousins who are in the 8th grade know about him just disappoints me.

In my opinion I feel like he needs to hurry and get signed to a label [which he is in the process of doing so] and go ahead and release an actual album [which he is also in the process of doing which will be entitled, Thank Me Later], so he can make it offical. I would hate for him to get all this buzz and then be old news by the time his first cd comes out. Smh. But yet in still, I still have love for him. Im just ready to feel like I did the first time I heard him, ahhh memories lol. jk.

He recently had an article in Rolling Stone which I think is pretty damn big.Check it (click)

I could post more about this dude but I'll let you find out more about him on your own if you havent already

&& again I will leave you with one of my fav songs by him..

Jamie Foxx 'Blame It' SPOOF-(Barack Obama)

This is funny but the words are so true.

In the Spotlight ; Miss Ciara

I just thought I would take a moment to put the spotlight on Ciara. Because lately I really have not been feeling this chick. I bought her previous albums and enjoyed them but I didnt even bother to look up her recent album [which came in third after Hannah Montana] or go to the store and buy it for myself. Why? Because lately I've just been wanting to tell CC to give it uppp lol. First thing was 'Super C' ??

Well I think after Beyonce came out with her alter ego Sasha Fierce I think every other female artist followed suit. And mind you that Beyonce has been with this alter ego for quite some time. Just saying, gotta take up for my girl B. But idk it was just something about Ciara's 'Super C' that just made me wanna be like, are we in 2nd grade or something? Idk, call it hating but just my opinion.And I just feel like she's just doing a lil too much to stay in the game. Dont get me wrong, her new song with Justin Timberlake, I like it but I just felt like the video was too inappropriate. But thats just my opinion.

Alll im saying is that i dont think Miss Ciara will last that much longer. Its been real B but, time to pack up your things. Peace out!

A Kid Named Cudi.

So recently I've been listening to this guy right here. He goes by the named Kid Cudi and most of you probably know him by his song Day && Night. I really dont know that much about him but I really like the vibe of his music and I would suggest yall check him out.

[ here's a list of his mixtapes on http://www.datpiff.com/ ]

&& his video.

oh & he's not to bad to look at either lol. .

&& I will end it with one of my fav songs by him. .

Baby I been gone for a min but um. .

Yeah, I know it's been a min. but I'm trying to get back into blogging. And hopefully over the course of this summer I can get more followers! and viewers! lol. It was just difficult to really spend time on this during the semester but now I have a lil time on my hands to dedicate to my work :) But anywho stay tuned for more kids.

Bri.

I know you like to worry it'll be better if you don't cause . .

Happiness is not a constant. As much as you want to remind happy, there's always something that comes around and knocks you down -- & then you're no longer happy. Its like [l i f e] has to give you a slap in the face at times just to remind you that you dont live in a fairytale and that you are indeed apart of reality ; along with the rest of your peers.

I also find it hard to stay happy when your whole life is basically flashing right before your eyes. And while your digging in the couch and looking behind your bed for that pause button that you know has to be somewhere, that lil thing called 'your life' is going on about its way and occasionally tapping you on the shoulder to let you know that you need to keep up and pay attention. . Because before you know it ; those times when you should of paid attention and enjoyed it the most, will be long gone. Minus the replay button.

So as I begin to distance myself from everyone and everything around me, it hasnt made life pause for a second to enjoy the time i have left. Instead it makes me feel like a fool in the end when I realize how much time I've wasted saying how much I dont want to leave, when I could be spending that time studying for these upcoming exams. I just feel like while everyone else is ready to go home, I'm not. I think back on all the things I left undone and never had a chance to experience as a college freshman and I dont think that next year will be the same.

I thought that this first year would help me learn more about what I want to do with my life but I feel as if I'm still in the same spot. Taking pointless classes and just hoping to pass so I can move on to the next level of pointless classes and it just feels likes an endless cycle.

All I'm saying is, it too much to ask for just to be happy? Thats a simple question right? Or do I just need to realize that reality is what I'm stuck in and there no going back to the simpler times. I know I need some growing up to do to help me realize this. But until then, I'm just waiting on that answer. . .

&& I will see you soon. . . ♥

Get Obsessed . .

SO.. I went to see the new Beyonce & Idris Elba Movie andd I fell in love with my boo even more :) He is such a cutie but I was very disappointed in my girl B. It's just something about her acting skills that I'm really not feeling. So I suggest if you're going to go see the movie just for her, dont because you're gonna be in for a big surprise. I feel like they played the movie up to make like she was the lead in the movie and the best part and really the crazy girl did a better acting job then her. Yeah i said it. But other then that, I really enjoyed the movie. The 'obsessed' girl is really as crazy as she seems in the previews. So I would say go see the movie before the weekends over. . now back to my boo..mmm :)

♥

Kinda Late ; But oh well.

Shit goes hard.

Thinking of You. .Part 1;

Cool breeze of the summer nights.
Driving around; windows down; slow calming music playing on my stereo..
I like that. .
Just as much as I like you. . .

Keri Hilson--Next Big Thing? Heck Yes !

--I was first introduced to Keri Hilson awhile back when I noticed a new face in Timblind's video. I cant remember what it was called but I'm sure you know what I'm talking bout. Then she reappeared on 106 & Park as a 'New Joint' for her song "Energy". I liked her song and found it very catchy.And then after that I hated her with a passion when she appeared in my [ex] husband Chris Brown's video where she played his love interest in 'Superhuman' , which i aint gonna lie (now) is one of my favorite songs. She has also appeared in Usher's 'Love in This Club' video and Ne-Yo's 'Miss Independent' video as well.

Miss Hilson is a Georgia native and has written songs for artists such as Brittney Spears, Ciara, Usher, and Ludacris.She has recently released her LONG awaited solo album 'In a Perfect World' which sold 94k is the first week. Personally I think her ablum should have sold more than that. I currently have her ablum playing on imeem.com as I type this to you. && I must say this chick is next big thing.
I admire this girls swag so much its crazy. I just love her sence of style and her hair be on point you gotta give it to her on that lol. She just seems to me that she carries her own, and that she is going to make it to the top whether you with her or not.
I really think that she has the potential to hold the type of status that Beyonce has at the moment. Yes I said it. And B is my girl but i really believe that Keri Hilson could do it. All im saying is, watch out for this girl. She really is the next big thing. But I'm gonna post one of my many favorite songs from her current album and I advise you to check it out or go to the store and cop this. You really want be disappointed. . .

Slow Dance - Keri Hilson

Allow Me to [Reintroduce] Myself .

Before I get started and get into the whole blogging thing, I just thought I would introduce myself if you dont already know. . .

Jasmine Briana;; 18 years young. Student at UNC Charlotte. From a small town; which most have never heard of, Mocksville, NC, & which I refer as 'the Ville'. I major in Communications and hope to pursue Public Relations after graduating from college.

Now for a look on the inside.

Family is a major part in my life. I love my family to death and the people that I am the closest with are family members. You hurt my fam and its a rap. I've lost some people in my family that were very close to me and most likely you will never hear me talk about it; unless we're really close. My mother passed away when I was younger and my grandmother who basically became my mother passed away when I was 10. These woman inspire me to become a wonderful strong woman like they were; today.

Music is more important to me then anyone will ever now. It has gotten me through times when I thought their would be no way out. Its my escape.

Fashion. I think that I got my sense of fashion from my grandmother lol. You always can catch me in the mall and if I had the money I would want a Forever 21 to go in my house. Crazy I know. Like music, its also my escape.I dont know. It's just something about a new pair of shoes and a cute outfit. . it can work wonders for your self esteem i tell ya..

and last but not least GOD. I might not be the most spiritual person in the world, but I do believe that nothing is possible without HIM. One day I want to be more spiritual and read the bible more but when the time is right. . i just need to feel it first. .

Now that you've learned a few things about me ; I guess it's time to let you into the things that run through my mind ; it will be nothing like what you expected. . Enjoy.♥
