This is the other side of the bracelet.

I couldn't upload more than one picture from my phone. =]

This is the free bracelet that I got with the purchase of Nick Minaj's CD. It arrived separately from the actual CD. As you can tell its black with pink lettering. It doesn't stretch much, just enough to get it over your wrist. Not very rubber bandy. Lol.

So.....I FINALLY got the much anticipated email....The one I thought would never come....Telling me I could purchase one urban decay naked palette. Needless to say....I sho nuff did...lol




There was no shipping and no tax! (Free shipping on $15+ purchase for limited time.) I purchased mine directly from the Urban Decay website. The only thing is that you HAVE to have gotten the email or you will be directed to the screen that says the palette is out of stock. Make sure to sign up to receive the in-stock notification if you want this palette!

More About The Palette:

THIS is how Urban Decay does neutral! Far from a group of boring beige shadows, this long, lean, seductive case is packed with TWELVE gorgeous neutrals. Shades range from delicate champagnes to dark, gritty gunmetal, and feature FIVE NEW shades with names like Darkhorse, Virgin and Buck. We've also included a range of textures: everything from glitter to shimmer to matte. Plus, you get an exclusive double-ended version of the award-winning 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero (black) and Whisky (a warm brown shade without sparkle) and a mini genie bottle of Eyeshadow Primer Potion. With all this at your fingertips…you'll hardly need clothes at all.



This set contains:


- 12 x 0.05 oz shadows: Virgin (nude satin), Sin (champagne shimmer), Naked (buff matte), Sidecar (beige sparkle), Buck (brown matte), Half Baked (bronze), Smog (golden brown shimmer), Darkhorse (bronze-plum shimmer), Toasted (taupe-bronze), Hustle (mocha shimmer), Creep (near-black metallic), Gunmetal (dark grey metallic)

- 2 x 0.02 oz Double-ended 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero (black) and Whisky (warm brown)

- 0.13 oz Travel Size Eyeshadow Primer Potion


All I can say is yay!!!

So.....I have wanted a pink friday shirt every since Nicki Minaj's CD dropped but being a plus size girl none of the shirts came in my size. I just happened to stop by Hot Topic and found a Nicki Minaj Tee. It's a slim fit tee (men shirt) but it is really cute! It was $22.00 but I got a discount because Im good like that. lol....

The picture doesn't do the shirt justice. It makes the shirt look large and just like a regular t-shirt. I got a 2X and because it is slim fit fits like a regular girls shirt would but longer! I'm not sure if stores carry the 3X but you can find it online for $24 if needed.

I plan on cutting it or something....maybe....Just wanted to share for the plus size Nicki fans!

"Today, I get to share with you the visual companion piece to my new single, 'Grenade.' The song is about loving someone so deeply, and the pain of knowing that the person you love does not feel the same. The actions in this video serve as a metaphor, and should not be taken literally. I am aware of the power of visual media, and I encourage everyone who watches this video to understand that it is an artistic interpretation of the song, and not something to imitate." -- Bruno Mars

I have been feeling this song for the last couple of days. Which happens to be ever since I discovered the song. I completely understand the lyrics and have felt the same way on numerous occasions.

Ok so I bit the bullet and bought the shoes I talked about in my previous post. I just couldn't help it!!!


I was having second thoughts on purchasing the shoe because of the heel height. They are 5 inch heels with a 1 inch platform. I normally don't do anything over 3.5 inches. I've messed up both of my ankles so they tend to be a bit weak when I stand in heels. These Torrid shoes were just too cute to pass up. Torrid at one point had flats in the exact same print but I did not get them when they were in stock. =[ Silly me.

Because I tend to buy black shoes or solid colored shoes, I just thought this would be a GREAT addition to my wardrobe. Plus I tend to gravitate towards black clothes too. This will definately spruce up the wardrobe! I purchased a size 10 (normal size). Hopefully the shoe fits. Torrid shoes usually run slightly larger and since this shoe is a wide I'm not sure what to expect. *fingers crossed*

So as stated the shoes were originally $39.00. Torrid had a 25% off sale that brought the shoes to $29.25. I used a $10 off coupon (btdm1210) plus my diva style discount of 5% (took off a whopping $0.96) my total for the shoes was $18.29! After the high as a kite $8.00 shipping and tax of $2.04, my total spent on the shoes was $28.33. I kind of wish I would have been able to go to the store and purchase them. That way I could have tried them on, and avoided paying the shipping. Unfortunately the store was closed when I made my purchase so I couldnt even call to see if they had my size and being since the closest store is 40 min away I wanted to MAKE SURE they had them before I took that drive. Plus torrid is having different sales and I did not want to take the chance of having to pay more for the shoes.

Well be sure to take a look at the website....Hopefully torrid will add more to the clearance section and have a 50% off next week so that I can stock up! =]


Now I have my eye on these shoes:

 The only thing stopping me is that the shoe is peep toe and it's cold where I live right now. I could of course save the shoe for summer/spring. But I want to first see how the wide width shoe fits before I go purchasing another. The Iron Fist shoe is an internet exclusive so I would have no choice but to order online. If the shoe fits....I will not only wear it (lol) I will order more!

Update: 12/07/10

I received the wild cat heels! I absolutely LOVE them. They are a slick type of material...meaning they are not suede or satin but it the material is "slick" to the touch. I also noticed that most of the shoes on torrids website state "wide width". I think this is because the shoes are made for a bigger foot. They still fit the same as any other 10 shoe I have ever worn from the store. The heel although skinnier than I am use to, still is sturdy. I don't feel as though I am going to break the heel or have that "bend" affect that you see with cheap heels. I will have to practice walking in the shoe as they are taller than I usually purchase. The bottom of the shoe is sorta "slippery" so you may have to get some grippers. =]

Overall a great addition to anyone's wardrobe. I would definately reccommend these, especially with a discount!

OK,...So I usually only buy from Torrid when they have a 50% off sale. I tried to wait to see what kind of black friday special they would have but the day before (Thanksgiving) I found out it would only be a few dollars off. Nothing special. Although a few dollars is better than no dollars but because I was stalking the site to make sure my sizes would not be taken before I could get them....I just decided to put myself out of my misery and just order some things.....I did make other purchase of which will be in my blogs to come but for now I ordered two dresses from Torrid.

Now because I have bought dresses from Torrid and I feel as though they run small, I decided to size up. In Torrid dresses I need at least a 20. To be a plus size store they really do have awful sizing. (I have to go up a size in anything that buttons up like blazers because the arms are narrow) Anyways....Here it goes
