Current Fab Fixations

Update

Hi guys! I've been gone for a while and haven't updated you guys on much. It's the end of the semester and school is...school. Lol. The semester started off terribly for me. I'm also in a transitional period in my life right now. Making decisions and kind of trying to see where the wind blows me, if that makes any sense. At any rate, as you can see, I've re-designed my blog. I think it now reflects me and my growth and taste now. The header's fashion illustration was designed by the amazing Hayden Williams, he was kind enough to let me use it. Follow him and his work here on Twitter! 

I've also been experimenting with recording YouTube videos. *sigh* Lol. It's not for everyone, I'm afraid. I think I'm going to stick to expressing myself to you guys through my written posts.

Anyway, this post is about a few of my current lusts and such fashion and beauty-wise. I had interview with a company called Aritzia last week and I have a good feeling about it. They carry such great stuff, like this T.Baton Ryan coat. The tailoring is impeccable and it's a piece that I think I'd wear until I simply couldn't any more! Made of Italian wool and cashmere, this minimalist, menswear inspired silhouette is totally on trend and will serve any girl tried and true through the cold months.

I want a cape so badly, I can't wait til I find one I fall in love with (and can afford). The M Missoni tiger-print caught my eye at first glance. Who knows, maybe someone will gift it to me (Yeah, right)

I've been loving Nicholas Kirkwood's shoe designs for about a year now. He is still my absolute FAVORITE shoe designer. These black, leather fringed wedge boots are so rad. They're delicious and so fucking cool. I could go on forever about how much I am in love with them.

Tom Ford's beauty product line just debuted not too long ago and I'd love to give some of his lipstick a try. I've recently become a bit make up crazed, so this is nothing surprising. (Right now my favorite products are Nightmoth lip liner and Ruby Woo lipstick from MAC. They're a little less pricey than the Tom Ford products :).

Check out the rest of the items I'm lusting for down below and tell me what you think of these picks! Love them? Hate them? Know of anything you think is better? Comment and let me know. AND if you have any posts with your own sartorial desires, link me and share :) Take care, guys.

Tom For is a Monster

Hello dolls and Happy New Year! So I had kind of a plan of what I would blog on today. However, my plan is delayed & I think I will make it some sort of series and even a video to go along because it's very important to me. So stay tuned. Any who, I was on Fashion Gone Rogue today and I spotted this Tom Ford campaign.

This was the first photo and it immediately caught my eye.

SHE is rocking that red lip! (I am of the opinion that everyone doesn't look good in red lipstick).

But she looks amazing. And even with the sleepy look in her eye she is giving me FACE!

I adore a man in a bow tie so this screamed at me.

It waas short, but sweet. I loved it. What did you guys think?

Video of the Day: Monster-Kanye West, Rick Ross, Jay-Z & Nicki Minaj

This video is mad controversial. To me, it was disturbing. Nicki had the least disturbing scene so if you watch, do so with caution. Usually you all just comment on the fashion part of my posts. Hardly ever the video which I take the time out to add to every post now (sad face). But I really want you guys' reaction to this. So do me a solid and actually READ this little bit that I'm typing. I do the same for each and everyone of you. It discredits my writing (which is phenomenal), my content (which I work very hard to find to keep you guys happy), and it's just nice to actually read what someone has to say and not just look at the pretty pictures. I take the time out to write because I think you deserve to hear what I have to say. So with that said, enjoy!

Love, Ayanna <3

Ford is Fashion

Tom Ford's collection in Vogue U.S. December issue.

Everything looks so rich and elegant. J'adore.

I'm swooning for the hair as well. Glam squad!

Love!

SN:

I bought the November issue of US Vogue and I was pleasantly surprised.

It was full of good editorials and campaigns. I also enjoyed Andre Leon Talley's report on up and coming designer LaQuan Smith and Marc Jacobs. J'adore Andre :)

I just realized how hot Bradley Cooper is so enjoy with me.

The Hangover is one of my favorite movies. You can't say you don't love that movie.

Video of the Day: Aaliyah-Are You That Somebody? (R.I.P. The Angel)

I loved Aaliyah's style. I remember being in elementary school wearing the baggy jeans, crop tops and sunglasses. :)
