I HAD THE PLEASURE OF SPEAKING WITH D'SHONDRA RIDEOUT! A VERY TALENTED SONGSTRESS AND FELLOW MICHIGANDER THAT I FIRST NOTICED ON KIRK FRANKLIN'S "JESUS" OFF OF HIS CD THE FIGHT OF MY LIFE. HERE IS THE SONG BELOW:
SHE IS A VERY DRIVEN YOUNG LADY THAT IS CHASING AFTER HER DREAMS! I KNEW THAT MANY YOUNG LADIES (CHRISTIAN OR NOT) WOULD BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WITH HER! I INTERVIEWED HER THIS PAST WEEK. EVEN WITH HER SCHEDULE SHE WAS NICE ENOUGH TO INTERVIEW WITH ME AND I THANK HER! I JUST WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HER STYLE BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS LOOKS SO DARN CUTE AND I KNEW MANY OTHERS WOULD LOVE TO KNOW AS WELL!
1) I have seen you in person a couple of times, and you always look so nice! How would you explain your personal style?
-well thanks!! :-) I'm very old school.. I lived with my grandparents for a while so a bit of grandmoms style became my style. On an average day I like to wear jeans and a blazer with a very cute shoe(I LOVE SHOES!!!) overall my style would be comfortable/casual chic.
2) Being a fellow church girl, how do you express your style at church? What are some of your favorite things to wear?
-I love women's suits! I own so many lol I will usually wear a suit with sky high heels or a nice dress.
3) What are some of your favorite trends for the Fall/Winter?
- Fall is definitely my favorite season. I'm loving the faux furs and riding boots. I just like being able to actually 'dress'!
4) What are some of your favorite beauty products?
- M.A.C. Anything lol Since I travel so much and I have to wear makeup often a good face wash is VITAL!! My skin is weird(very oily and acne prone), so I use Neutrogena oil free acne stress control. The whole line works wonders for me.
5) What would you say to someone who is reaching for their dreams like you are reaching for yours?
- Just stay focused on God, stay in your Bible, and don't ever conform to this world. It WILL get hard to stay on track sometimes and it's easy to get discouraged but God is always there, and trust me... He has your back! Don't give up!!
6) Would you like to add anything else?
;-) not unless you want to ask more!
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AGAIN TO D'SHONDRA AND I PRAY THAT SHE CONTINUES TO REACH FOR HER DREAMS! CHECK HER OUT AThttp://www.twitter.com/DSHONDRA
Glitter and Sequin is not just for cute little kids and dancers anymore! Glitter is everywhere! I must admit, when I trend begins it spreads! And what I have been seeing a lot of are glitter shoes! I first saw these shoes at Baker. I wanted them so bad but I had to buy another pair of shoes for an event and I had to kiss those shoes goodbye! (womp womp!) Then I seen them at the Steve Madden store and almost passed out! They were a little bit cheaper but I could not afford them! (Darn!). So then I was walking in my local mall and saw them at one of my favorite stores Charolette Russe, and I was done! lol. I know I know, it did not need such a drawn out story but I had to tell you my love for these glitter shoes! When I started to see celebs wearing them then I knew that it was a trend! These shoes are a must have going into the fall to add with those staple pieces! And I most definately have to get a pair!
OK, I know I have been saying how much I am in love with a chic style with a flair of sophistication, and I am going to say it again..(laughing) I love to have that happy medium in my wardrobe, and another way I can think about adding a little chicness to your wardrobe is by textured or patterned tights. I hate going to church without stockings or tights on and I wear them year around to church. I am going to do a post later on about how to wear different types of stockings with different types of outfits but for now I want to talk about patterned tights.
The winter is nearing its end of the year and Spring is rising up (well not were I live.haha) But who wants to forget about tights? Not me! They are something that can be worn year around and spice up an old outfit in a matter of seconds. I went shopping with my friend Shon and she told me she had to buy some and she totally made me remember that they existed and now I can not stop thinking about them. They come in so many shapes, colors, and prints. But most of all they are affordable. You can almost get them anywhere where hosiery is sold. JC Penny has them for under $10.00! I know right. Here are a few that caught my eye on the sight.
They are wonderful,right? Your can wear them with a cute A line dress, pencil skirt, or whatever you so desire! I love them, they are affordable, and they are totally my style!
