Unexpected Things That Happened at VMA 2015

VMA just ended a couple hours ago and I'm still trying to digest everything as I write. First of all, there were a lot of drama going on. Even before the VMA official show, a feud was speculated between Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj through Twitter. Surprise #1: The duo ended the bad blood rumors with an opening performance for the show. They slayed in their flaming flapper-inspired attire. My thoughts: The twitter posts were probably a public stunt for their VMA. Nicki Minaj got on stage again to receive the Best Hip-Hop Video award for "Anaconda" and after her speech... She gave Miley a little shout-out. Or should I say...

Loafers: An Office Wardrobe Staple

Besides a pair of platform pumps, the only shoe you will ever need to complete your workwear wardrobe is a pair of loafers. I can go on bragging about why everyone need a pair of this effortless stylish pair of androgynous shoe but I'll keep it simple and list several reasons why this is a wardrobe must-have. They look good with black pants, slacks or leggings. They are made for Fall. Look at how comfy it looks accessorized with a chunky scarf. They're the only shoe that makes a trench coat and shorts pairing chic. Can be dressed up or down with any type of dress. Unlike flats, loafers looks handsome with socks on.

Oh Snap! Delena's Back?

Before Selena and Taylor, it was Delena. Demi + Selena. I never found out the reason why the grew apart. Maybe it was age or interest but I miss seeing the two of them together. I practically grew up with them through Barney and Friends and Disney channel. I was so happy when Selena twitted Demi a birthday message: And Demi responded back! #nomatterwhat #forever!!!! So, what do you think? It would be so amazing if they can have a PPP#2! This line from their duet "One and the Same" is exactly how I feel about their friendship:

6 Ways to Wear Birkenstock

Most professional workspace have a dress code you have to stick with. Black suit, slack and closed-toe shoes. I know it's boring but that's work life. Fridays are usually casual and you can dress down a bit while remaining the professional look. Now, unless you work in a startup or tech company you can come in PJs. Just kidding but you get the point. Casually chill but still classy chic. Style 1: Black Birkenstock + White Top + Black Pants Light on top and dark on the bottom. The blazer and leather tote adds a touch of professionalism. Style 2: Black Birkenstock + Light Blue Top + Black Pants There is something about an oversized mandarin collar shirt and black jeans combination that makes it work appropriate. The little golden accessories and satchel bag also played a big part in making it more polished. Style 3: White Birkenstock + White Top + White Bottom

Music in Color Challenge: Grey

I was actually tagged by @shannonl5 to participate in @virginvingler's music color theme change. After looking through my song list I notice a recurring "grey/sivler" theme. I'm not sure if some of it counts but here it is. Jessie J - Silver Lining I never doubt Jessie J's singing ability but the only song I ever really liked from her is Price Tag. That changed when I watched Silver Linings Playbook. Her vocal and the beat is what I expected from Jessie. A Fine Frenzy - Ashes and Wine I've been listening to her since college. There is so much emotion in her singing, especially when she hits the soft notes with a whispering voice. KT Tunstall - Suddenly I see

Two Smart Updos for Short Hair

I finally got a haircut over the weekend and now I'm over the moon to try hairstyles made for shorties! To be honest, I find short hair easier to style than long hair. I don't miss waiting for my long hair to dry! Also, the time spent curling my hair is twice as fast! Finally, the updos are just as beautiful as long hair. Take a look at below at two genius ways to give your short hair an updo (pics from Cosmopolitan). Braided Updo I've seen a similar upside-down braided bun for long hair. You can skip the bun and still achieve the upside down braided with a twist. Here's how: French braid your hair from back to front. Then section your hair, taking hair from the left side, braid it and wrap the loose ends in a pin curl. Take the loose hair from the right of your part and pin curl it. Twisted Updo
