The Gucci Spring Summer 2010 Collection is the true definition of ready-to-wear luxury Italian wear of fashion. Designer Frida Giannini has teamed up with Gucci to serve today’s young, hip audience. The collection defines simplicity – featuring bright whites and splashes of ethnic bold colors that transcend for the everyday women. Accents of silver ‘technohorsebit’ motifs, metal embroidery, cut-out overlapping necklines and leather details create a very more sophisticated chic look.

Blog Review: Go Go Answer Get @Wale
I never did understand why "we adore those who ignore us and ignore who adores us". It's a silly cat and mouse game that we love to play. No one likes to feel vulnerable but that's the only way that we can achieve #thatthing. The feeling of not knowing- wrecking your brain trying to figure out if their thinking about you as much as your thinking about them. "Many of us can attest to…constant checking of the cell phone you left by a window in order to get perfect service in case they call." Like myself I'm guilty of "forcing yourself to go out with your friends just to stop thinking about them- which usually doesn't work because you're still checking your damn phone!"
When did love become so easy to achieve but mutually hard to maintain? Did the high school chasing games follow us into our adult years? These questions do lead someone to believe- "Good girls go for bad guys."
I don't know why so many good girls fall for bad guys- I myself was at that stage in my life, once upon a time. The bad guys had the big fast cars, own place, and a personality that could captivate the room. On the other hand, the good guys were the ones into the books, didn't go out much, introvert personality and seemed to know nothing about having fun.
Lord knows I've dated all types of men; good, bad and then some. According to the Wale I am not single, "I don't believe there is such a thing as being single. Like single, single. There is always someone your mind or heart is with, whether it be an ex or a friend who doesn't know it yet. There is always somebody else. "This is very well true and I can't disagree.
But when it's all said in the name of #thatthing good guys and good girls do finish last. Your love for someone can be right but the timing could be all wrong. When people get over the taboo of love, remove the blinders and are both willing to become vulnerable then #thatthing is attainable. As Wale stated, "just remember, getting completely wrapped up in one person when they have several options, is to play Russian roulette with your heart and mind."

Beyonce Sets New Standards at the 2010 Grammys
___________________________________________________________ Beyonce was one of my favorite Best Dressed at the 2010 Grammy Awards held at the Staples Center on Sunday (January 31) in Los Angeles. A woman not afraid to show off her curves with this Stephane Rolland form-fitting textured detailed gown. She had 10 nominations including "Record of the Year" and "Album of the Year". Beyonce took home six awards for songs like "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" for Song of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Halo" and Best Contemporary R&B Album for "I Am…Sasha Fierce". Even though she did not win Album of the Year, which was won by her opponent Taylor Swift- Beyonce made history with taking home the most Grammys ever as a female performer in a single night. That's what I call a Phenomenal Women.
Where Do I Go From Here?
Not too long ago, I had my life planned out to a CAPITAL T. I was working for a MBE company- getting my marketing and public relations experience early prior to graduating into the real world. After graduation, I planned on continuing to work at that current employer while prepping myself for graduate school. Then, within two years- "LA Here I Come" to attend University of Southern California's Graduate Program for Communication Management. As one can already tell, I can go on and on about my life's plan- BUT….
On December 30th, 2009 my plans were derailed; I got a call from my supervisor that my boss wants to meet with everyone individually. As the night had passed; my anxiety and constant phones calls from my girl friend /co-workers; the night had turned into day quickly. The next day, time couldn't go by any slower for my 3pm appointment with my boss. Walking into the office, up the stairwell seemed longer than ever. I was greeted by my two supervisors to have a seat in the conference room which looked like a long night of shuffled papers and files all over the table. My boss- starts off with light conversation asking me if I've talked to the girls (my co-workers) and so on. Then, he goes into the BIG spill "Janelle, I'm going to have to let you go." All, I could do was smile because I honestly can't say that I was surprised, I had known that the company had faced many financial and business hardships over the past year. Walking out of the office, there were no hard feelings just thoughts of confusion. "Where do I go from here?"
I had spent 48 hours of deep thoughts and questions seeking answers from God. To make matters worse, I still hadn't heard from any of my co-workers turned girlfriends- everyone was speechless, numb, not knowing what to say to one another in each other's time of need. Some may not understand but out of all the years of my employment history this was the first time I had been unemployed by matters I could not control. I've been working, since I can remember and anyone who knows me knows that I am a work-alcoholic. The feeling of earning and having your own is priceless to me. My mother has always told me – whatever you want, you have to work for it.
So, where am I now? I'm still unemployed and like many other still job searching. This road has been very tough for me because for once in my life I am letting God take full control- where I'll end up next I do not know. I take this as a blessing- how I lost job right at the end of the year and starting off 2010 onto something new … a new attitude and a new leap of faith. Fortunately, I was able to work out something with my employer to just work as a Freelance Marketing Consultant and continue to my internship with the company for my last semester of undergrad. I'm taking each day as it goes, focusing on the bigger picture which is me. I'm doing things that I enjoy (i.e. like starting this blog- which I've put off for so many years).
