Dress: www.pinkclubwear.com | Clutch: Ross | Watch: Michael Kors | Heels: Rainbow

All I have to say is this color is EVERYTHING! Between the beautiful royal blue hue, off-shoulder detail and sexy fit this dress from Pink Clubwear is definitely a show stopper.

I kept my heels simple and added some contrast with a neon and leopard printed clutch. This look is perfect for a date night, girls night out or even a nice event.

Much love,

There is nothing like a good multipurpose dress. This sleek and classy bodycon is exactly that. It pictures grey. However, this dress has an awesome reflective shimmer that makes it perfect for a night out or to add a little edge to your typical day look.

 

Add a nicely structured jacket for a polished flair or wear it solo to showcase your amazing curves in this hip-hugging number. See the details of this dress in action, in my upcoming Pink Clubwear lookbook on YouTube!

The Way to a Man’s Heart

Hey Sweeties! So as we all know Valentine’s Day is approaching… and the pressure is on! What to wear, what to do, and for some of us… who to date? ;-)

Personally, there’s nothing I like less than the hassle of going OUT to eat on V-Day. Whether it’s trying to book a decent reservation, getting a reservation and still waiting up to an hour to be seated, or just dealing with the bustle of a busy restaurant during what should be one of your most intimate and romantic nights of the year…. It all irritates me to my soul!

So how do I deal with it all? I don’t! And I’m going to show you how NOT to do it either.  Today we are going to make a 5 Star meal right in the comfort of your own home.

One of my favorite “special occasion meals” is Stuffed Lobster tails. I can always find tails for no more than $7-9 each, so it’s budget friendly... it always makes whoever is eating it feel like a King… AND it is surprisingly easy to make! See below:

 

Stuffed Lobster Tails:

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 15-20 minutes

Ready in: 25-30 minutes

Ingredients (2 servings)

 

• 2 lobster tails,(to be split along the center top)
• 2 teaspoons butter, melted
• ¼ cup of Italian breadcrumbs (or 15 buttery round crackers (i.e. Ritz),     crushed)
• ¼ cup of onions diced
• 1/2 cup jumbo lump crabmeat
• 1/4 cup butter2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)(or your favorite seasoning salt will work as well)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, or to taste

 

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

• Take a very sharp knife and CAREFULLY insert the knife upright into the top if the lobster shell and pull downwards and back down the length of the lobster to split the tail open

• Pull the edges of the split lobster shells apart and gently lift the tail meat to rest above the shells. They should look like this.

• Place the prepared lobster tails on a baking sheet or in an aluminum pan.

• Take 1/4 cup of clarified butter and place in a sauce pan and sauté the garlic and onions until the onions are transparent. Lightly mix the crabmeat, parsley, seafood seasoning, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper thoroughly combined and cook on low heat for about 3 minutes. (If I’m feeling generous, I’ll throw in a few shrimp cut in half to the stuffing… but that is completely optional) Then mix in the breadcrumbs (or crackers) until a stuffing is formed.

• Brush each portion of tail meat with 1 teaspoon melted butter.

• Spoon half the stuffing onto each lobster tail; press lightly to slightly shape the stuffing so it doesn't fall off.

•  Lightly sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
  
• Bake the lobster tails in the preheated oven until the meat is opaque and the stuffing is golden brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes.

And your tails are done!  You can pair them with a nice juicy steak and have surf and turf, or let them stand alone with some roasted potatoes and asparagus. No matter what you decide dinner will be fabulous and you will re-affirm just WHY you were a great pick for a Valentine.  ;-) Besides, they say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!

You’ll see a couple of my pairings below.

 

Enjoy!! Happy Sweetheart’s Day Sweeties!!

Valentine's Lookbook | Hot Date

Dress: Rebdolls | Heels: Rainbow | Clutch: Fashion to Figure

Hey boo’s! So, this is the 3^rd and final look from my Valentine’sLookbook. The other two looks were on the dressier side, so I wanted to do a more fun look that still exudes much sexiness. This is one of those looks that you rock when you want to channel your inner naughtiness ;), show a little skin but still be tasteful. I decided to pair this beautiful draped dress, by Rebdolls, with low nude heels. I didn’t want a short dress and super tall heels unless I was trying to be super naughty lol. 

 

I finished off the look with my printed clutch from Fashion to Figure and simple gold accessories as usual.  I loved the way this look came together and I loved that I didn’t feel really restricted in this piece. It was very flattering, in the tummy area, to say the least. Cute + Comfortable? Can’t beat that with a stick! LOL I hope you enjoyed this Lookbook and be expecting many more to come! If you haven't seen it yet, I posted it below ;) Don't forget to subscribe for more videos!

Single on V-Day.

Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Be Happy that you're single!

With Valentine’s Day being right around the corner some of you singles out there might feel a little anxiety about not having that special somebody to spend it with. When it comes to relationships these days, is love really hard to find or are we looking in the wrong places with distorted expectations? Who knows! I do not consider myself to be an expert on “How to Find Love” but if you are in a loving relationship with someone where the feelings are mutual then hold on tight with all your might.

 We all want to be loved by someone who adores us and although our current situation may seem a little bleak, why not work at changing your perspective?  Look on the bright side of things.  There are a lot of perks to being single. Here are MY top 10:

= You don’t have to worry about being cheated on.

= You don’t have to guess how someone feels about you.

= You can save your money.

= You don’t have to dread the healing process of having a broken heart.

= You can be yourself without excuses or reasoning.

= You can dress how you feel without trying to impress anybody.

= You don’t have to worry if their family or friends like you.

= You don’t have to deal with your significant other “Exes” or “Baby Mama Drama”.

= You don’t have to worry about your needs being met because you can meet your own needs.

= You don’t have to worry about a curfew when you hang out with friends because you’re single!

If you need someone to love, love yourself first. Although this is cliché, it’s the best advice one can give because obviously people are still depressed over being alone. You are the best candidate for being responsible for your own happiness. Don’t be so quick to think just because you’re single now that you are destined to be alone forever. You have the power to create the life you want and you must always remember that life doesn’t just happen to us, it responds to what we think and say. If you want love, search for it.

 

Be open to unlimited possibilities and believe that your significant other is out there just as anxious as you are hoping to be found. Make sure you are a happy, healthy and whole individual because when you do find love and I hope that you do, make sure you are ready for it. There is nothing more frustrating than continuing to make mistakes that bring you more heartaches then happiness. There is one thing in finding love, but another in maintaining a good relationship from an emotionally healthy state of being.

Valentine's Lookbook | Cocktails

Dress: Z By Zevarra | Clutch: Thrifted | Heels: Fashion Trend

Hey Boo’s! I hope you already found what you will be rocking on VDay, but if not I still have some inspiration for you! If you haven’t checked out my Valentine’s Lookbook just yet, here is the 2^nd look from the video titled “Cocktails”. When I was put this look together I had a young woman in mind that preferred going out for drinks over a dinner date, or maybe even for my single ladies that would be going out on Vday. 

I decided to wear the Holiday Black Label Dress by designer Z by Zevarra. I absolutely loveee her pieces and this one I HAD to get. The lace detailing, the structure, the fit, made purchasing this piece a no brainer. I paired the dress with my favorite red envelope clutch, red chained heels and red lips to give the look some Valentine’s Day flair. I hope you enjoyed this look and if you haven’t visited my Youtube channel yet, check me out! www.youtube.com/lacenleopard

V-Day On A Budget: Panties & Bras

So we all want to look nice and feel sexy on Valentine’s day, well any day for that matter, but especially on Valentine’s day. But, sometimes we don’t have to the money to go out and get a full lingerie set or buy expensive lace numbers, etc. If you are on a budget, but still want to spice it up, check out Rainbow! I just happen to be going there to look for a quick top, since it’s around the corner from my house, and tripped up on this uber cute laced-detailed panty and bra set for $9.99! I was like what?! For BOTH?? So, I snatched it up with the quickness! So, how did I like it? See below for my pro’s and con’s.

Pros

= Of course, it’s super affordable

= They come in very cute designs with great attention to detail
= The underwear is breathable
= Nice last minute go-to
= Sexy and flirty
= Adds a little spice to your norm

 

Cons

= They seem to run a little small. Or maybe it’s my butt? lol. IDK? But, I bought a 3x and though I could fit it, a little more wiggle room was left to be desired. So, size up if possible.

= The quality is good, but don’t expect this to last you for years or anything.
= Not all areas have Rainbow or Citi Trends as it’s called some states. Check out their site, to see if they have a location near you.
= You can’t order their panties and bras online, unfortunately.

Overall, if you have one in your area, I would definitely recommend their panties and bras for a special night with your honey or if you just want to add variety to your already sexy collection ;)

Much love,

Valentine's Lookbook | Dinner

Top: Thrifted | Skirt: Dia & Co | Heels: Rainbow | Clutch: Fashion to Figure | Fur Collar & Shades: Ebay

Hey Boo's! So I am SUPER excited to announce my 2^nd Lookbook is now live on Youtube!! This is a Valentines lookbook, to give you some ideas on this special day of loveee ;) This is my first look of three. Which, I think would be perfect for an upscale dinner date. For this look I decided to pair a soft shimmer red top with a fitted black velvet midi skirt. The velvet is so soft to the touch and I feel it just gives this look romance and sexiness. I completed the look with black strapped pumps, a tribal inspired clutch - for the perfect amount of print and a fur collar - for a little extra glam.

 I love the way this look came together and the way the colors complimented each other. Check out my Youtube Channel to see what other looks I came up with. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to subscribe for more videos!
