Things I Like: Michael Kors

I have developed an affinity for anything Michael Kors. Like most women, I love fashion. I am an accessory queen. I love my watches and rings and bracelets. I only wear necklaces every now and then. I literally hoard handbags. I love them so much. Let's not even get started on me and my shoe obsession. In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, " a woman can never have too many shoes." I am not into name brands that much. I just like quality, well made, aesthetically pleasing pieces/clothes. That is always my guideline when shopping. I like what catches and holds my eye. Michael Kors does this. I always notice his ads in the magazines. I am always drawn to his lines in the stores. That registers with me.

There is just something about his designs that I dig. I love the fabrics he chooses. The man is a fashion genius in my book. He can do know wrong. I've picked a few of my favorite must have pieces by Kors. They are pictured throughout. They are my favorite pieces. The Rose Gold watch is one thing that I must have. They would all make great birthday and/or Christmas gifts for a December baby like myself. *hint, hint* Feel free to buy these for me :) These are just a few things I like.

Things I Like: Short Stories

Since the moment I finished "50 Shades of Grey," I've been wanting to read a good BDSM story. "50 Shades of Grey" was a huge disappointment to me in more ways than one. I begin to read "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" but I haven't really been reading it as I should. So, when I saw a retweet on Twitter about this story, I was intrigued. I found it on Feminista Jones' blog. I read it and became instantly intrigued after the first part. I read the following 3 parts. It is a very good series. I love it. I am not into the whole bdsm lifestyle in real life. It's very intriguing in print. This series is very well written. I love when an author can paint a picture with words. I saw this story in my head while reading it. I cannot wait to read more. You guys should def check it out. I've listed the 4 parts below. Read and enjoy!!!

Part 1 "Push The Button"

Part 2 "This Is How It Works"

Part 3 "Sapphire Part 1"

Part 4 "Mark of the Beast"

Things I Like: You Heard That New.com

The power of Twitter is awesome. It connects us to people all over the world. It is very easy to find like minded people through your tweets. I don't really remember how I call across this one guy. But, I am so glad I did. He goes by the name of LowKey. You can catch him on Twitter. Aside from being hella cool via his tweets, he is deep into music. And, we all know how much I LOVE my music. His website is YouHeardThatNew.com and he features new tracks way before you would catch them on the radio. Well, for those of you who listen to the radio. I do not. I like to cater to my own ear and popular/hot radio stations do not do it for me. The reason I love his site is because it's never full of mainstream hot tracks. It's always something or someone I haven't discovered yet. That is always a plus.

Also, the one other thing I really enjoy about the website is the tone. LowKey's personality comes through in his post. He has a series called "Dear Reader, Let's Talk" where he just talks about certain every day things. It's pretty dope that he breaks up the music by inserting his thoughts in. If you are always on the lookout for new music, You Heard That New is the website for you. I can honestly say that I visit it almost daily. Some of my favorite new tracks have been discovered here. As well as new and old artists. This website isn't about politics, its just about the music. It's great to find a spot that there is no one else pulling the strings. I truly feel that LowKey just posts what he feels is dope. I can totally get behind this. You guys should definitely check it out. Get Into It: You Heard That New.
