An fucking Dukes.

My Pockets Stuck on Overload; My Rain Never Evaporate.

I wore more make-up than I ever have before. Hope it's not noticeable...Is it?

By that, I mean foundation, concealer, bronzer, and blush, when all i normally wear is mascara and eyeliner. I'm wearing NYX's lipstick in "Iris", btw. My new favorite!

More after the jump, like always.

My shoe closet will look like this one day.

Christian Louboutin ‘Dorepi’ 120 Pony Shoes.

2010-07-27T18:40:00.000-07:00

There's just something about cheetah that has me so interested right now. This shoe is perfect.

Jewel Heritage ‘An Eye For An Eye’ Necklace.

Definately could add this to my collection! I want!

Ruthie Davis ‘Spike’ Autumn/Winter 2010 Shoes.

2010-07-27T18:10:00.000-07:00

Just what I need for winter! These and my Alexander Wang triple buckle booties will be the highlight pieces for my winter wardrobe!

This saddle clutch has an interesting concept. Edgy enough for me, but still not my perfect clutch!

Onesies.

2010-07-27T16:05:00.000-07:00

Got this one piece bathing suit forever ago, but never really had a chance to wear because I was waiting for some extravagant pool party to wear it to. Well, I missed my chance on Modi's "Gee Pee: Are You With Me?" cookout, and it didn't seem like anybody was having another one anytime soon. I got all impatient and decided to wear it out while at 6flags.

More under the jump.

Sundays' Best.

2010-07-25T08:11:00.000-07:00

Every Sunday morning, my parents and I go to the 7:30 mass at church, which really sucks because I always barely ever get enough sleep the night before. I felt like dressing up a little today, because I usually throw on some sweats or something.

Yesterday, I went with my boyfriend and a few other people to get their tattoos done.

I'm actually sort of really pressed that EYE drew his tattoo, and the fact that he actually went and got it on him. It's kind of like.... a piece of me will permanently be on him, you know? Even though the tattoo had nothing to do with me whatsoever, but it has a part of me attached to it, right? Well, nevermind, that's pretty irrelevant when I think about it, because just because a persons' tattoo artist drew their tatt for them, it doesn't mean the person is gonna be apart of them forever lol. -_____- Leave me alone! Let me be siced for a little minute! LOL! I just thought that idea was cute. Let me stop trying to take all the credit though, the tatt man siced the design of course.... but still.

I never thought about how serious a tattoo was. It was his first one ever, and he kept making a big deal about how this is the last time his body is bout to be bare and naked. Here it is for the last time *tear*

It's an actual heart, with his mom's name in it.

Crosses.

Can you guys spot what I'm loving MOST about this outfit?

The lace bra and jewelry of course! DUH!

WDDWT.

2010-07-23T14:58:00.000-07:00

What did Dukes wear today?

(this was actually Thursday, but you know...)

Took some quick bathroom mirror shots.

Wore my army jacket for the first time with the patches on it. It was hot as hell that day too, but my first class always has the AC blaaaaazing, so I always bring some sort of cover up...

And if I hadn't said anything about them prior, those are my new Chloe sunglasses....

Who designed this shoe? As "fierce" as it may look, I feel like it completely castrates a woman. The foot is one of the most important body parts, in which many women don't take care of properly. It's the body part that you rely on completely to stand, run, walk, dance, etc. All your weight is dependent on your feet alone. When you wear heels of such great height, then all your weight is then shifted to solely the ball of the foot. Imagine all 135 lbs (that's how much EYE weigh, replace your weight with mine) of your body weight, all depending of that little ball of your foot alone. No wonder we can't stand on high heels for long periods of time! It can't take it! Ladies who love "six inch walkers" (such as myself) know that it's literally impossible to run in shoes like this. I don't know how models can even do their runway walk....but we all know that models and dancers have the most ugly feet out of all. If the foot isn't in healthy condition now at a young age, it will cause serious issues in the future. Lmao #funfact: if humans had no big toe, we'd just be walking around in circles all day.

I'm not complaining about high shoes....lawd no! I'll love them forever! But not too long ago I came across a contest online called "The Bad Shoes Contest". It's only requirements were to send in a photo of your baddest shoes, and you win a free pair! Of course I submitted my photos, and completely forgot about it right after. About a month later I got an email saying I won! I was so surprised because I never win anything, and I forgot I ever even entered... So I won a book called "Bad Shoes and the Women Who Love Them" and I got to choose a pair of shoes from this Italian designer. Once I heard the title of the book, the wheels in my head started turning. I have a knack for guessing things, so I already knew this designer wasn't about to be no Alexander McQueen or nothing....and that the purpose of the book was to talk about how bad high heels are. NOT praise them. I was right. The title was clever, no? The double meaning behind the "Bad Shoes". But then I got to reading, and the author made many valid points, and brought up many facts that I never knew before. It basically scared the bejeezus out of me to not wear high heels for long periods of time anymore. I'd really like for all of you heel-lovers to go out and read/get this book as well. I'm not saying DON'T wear heels! Because I surely will be! I'm just saying be more cautious... I'll post a picture of the book soon. As for the shoes I won.... it was a designer that makes comfort shoes. I chose these cute little black ankle boots, that I surely will be wearing when winter comes back. I've been searching for a shoe that I would be comfortable in all day, not a high heel, but not FLAT because those aren't good for you either... and they hurt my legs and back after awhile. They contest trickbagged me, but the shoes were worth a little over $400, so it's straight, I guess?

-------edit.

This is the book..

"Bad Shoes & the Women Who Love Them (Seven Stories Press; Mother’s Day 2010) is both a celebration of the spunk and sex appeal that can dress up a woman’s feet, and a lighthearted wake-up call to women to make informed decisions when buying and wearing fashionable shoes. The book explores our desires to wear ‘bad shoes’, delves into the fascinating history and psychology of them, and gives us the information we need to buy pairs that are both cute and comfy. Illustrated throughout by Vanessa Davis”.

Something I love about a man in jewelry.

Leopard Guiseppe's.

2010-07-21T10:37:00.001-07:00

It's just something about the leopard print that has me....

This is the kind of shoe that makes my legs look amazing in. And my legs don't look amazing in everything, since my calves are huge.

Leopard Loubos.

2010-07-21T10:26:00.000-07:00

Last week I had the pleasure of bumping into the beloved cheetah print Louboutins that I have been FEENING over! The perfect touch...the perfect accent... the perfect cherry on top of a snazzy outfit.

Guess what? they were MY size too! A 37...a perfect little fit.

It was on sale for.............

about $400, in which I think is an amazing deal for Loubos. I deliberated and debated for forever, before a salesperson would start to think I was up to no good and was about to steal them, I had to set them down. First off, I don't wear sneakers anymore because I don't look right with them.... and $400 is still a lot.

I like these way better than the hi-top studded sneakers almost every male celebrity has been donning lately. I swear.... these are so sexy. I would get this for my boyfriend if they were in his size.

McQueen Never Fails.

2010-07-21T10:04:00.000-07:00

I know I said i wanted a large clutch, but how could you ever go wrong with this? It is beyond perfect. The signature skull will never fail, and this nude would go with everything.

"Gucci's creative director Frida Giannini too the intiative to bring back some of Gucci’s former styles coming from the 60s."

This is definately on point. I need this! It reminds me of my Gucci speedy bag I got in London, only because I've yet to see other people with white Gucci bags.... everyone has that same stupid ass brown all over print lol.

But i fuck with the brown so much harder than this green.

Wanna know a secret?

The original price of this bag was around $800...... there was a section in the Gucci store where select bags were 50% off....which knocked this down to around $400. And you could get an extra 30% off if you've never shopped at Gucci before....which knocked it down to $300... and then another 15% off for opening an account with them. Basically, we got this speedy for a mere $200! Crazy right? And I thought shopping in London was supposedto be expensive! No tax, nothing!

My boobs really aren't this big. If they were, I wouldn't always be complaining about how flatchested I am lol. I don't know why they look like this in the picture.

So, the beautiful Alex tweeted me to look at her new pictures on her tumblr, because she was sure I'd appreciate. She knows my gay tendencies so well. I LOVE these pictures! it's SO rare when a female can take nude pictures and make it artsy and classy. kudos! shit. if i tried to do something like that, i'd look like somebody's prostitute.

LMAO!

2010-07-15T17:07:00.000-07:00

I have a thing for denim shirts, if you haven't noticed by now if you've been followed my blog for sometime now... I usually stray away from anything else denim if I already have something denim on, but on him, this doesn't look half bad.
