Do you have any websites for shoes for people who have big feet like size 11?

Zappos.com

Overstock.com

Amazon.com

They all sell shoes in larger sizes.  Not all shoes will be available in the size 11, but they have a nice amount of shoes in larger sizes.

XOXOXO

Anonymous asked:
what do you wear with white mid-calf doc martens?

I would pair them with a pair of black disco pants with a flowy crop top or you could also try high-waisted denim shorts with a white off shoulder top.  They’re pretty simple outfits because I think the shoes should be the center of attention.  For a more over-the-top look you could pair the boots with polka dot leggings, a white flowy tank and a black leather vest.  Good luck!

XOXOXO

What should I wear with baby blue leggings? Somebody got them for me and they're really expensive but I can't match it with anything...

Pastels are making a come back so youre in luck!! I say pair them with a slightly oversized button down shirt and a pair of what I call Barbie shoes lol here are a few examples… One, two, or three. Just mix in another pastel to keep it chic and fashion forward. Stay chic!!

-Tima

They are a great piece to use for color blocking.  Try adding a lilac top, mint green blazer, and nude heels.  You can also edge them up by trading in the blazer for a leather jacket & adding a chunky necklace and booties to the mix.  Take a picture & submit it so that we can see what you came up with!  Have fun!

XOXOXO

Neil, I've got a burning yearning to know just what exactly motivates you...!

A few things but I’m thinking your question relates to this blog.

Wished that when I went on a website that gives me “comprehensive coverage” of a Fashion Week that out of 151 models I’m seeing only 3 black ones (yes I counted).  

I’m not saying that black people should be everywhere but do not tell me that black girls are not beautiful, black girls do not want to model, you cannot find any or that your clothes will look more appealing on the other kind of girl ‘cause this is what you’re telling me with that kind of gross ratio.  I would write an essay on this but hey I won’t, so to put it into one sentence…

Until the world’s perception changes, I will be motivated.

What is your opinion on males who don't wear jeans, but wear cargo sweat pants and track pants? Thank you.

I like cargo pants especially when styled properly. You can try a button top shirt or a denim shirt with the cargos and a pair of J’s or rock the button down with a bow tie and boat shoes for a more Carlton Banks/grown man look lol. Stay chic!!

-Tima

I don’t see a problem with it.  I love cargoes, and sweats are like heaven on earth.  They can both be easily made into a cute outfit so do you boo.  I would pair sweats with a graphic tee, denim vest or jacket, and sneakers.  The cargo pants would look cute with a v-neck sweater and boots or loafers for a more mature look.  Have fun!

XOXOXO

-L. Danielle

Cargo pants = fine

Cargo sweat pants = fine if you’re training for the NY Marathon

Track pants = fine if you are exercising or on your way to or from.

For the men that go on the dates, prom and job interviews in the sweat pants and track pants, I encourage it.  This means one less sucker to worry about.

My 21st birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to wear. Me and my friends are going to do Karaoke so I need something thats fun. I'm short,curvy and I LOVE bold colors- Help! lol

Since you’re going to karaoke I would say do subtle sexy.  Maybe a dress like this with a pair of booties and textured tights if it’s a little too chilly to have bare legs.  You could also throw on a belt in a contrasting color.  You could also try these things called heel condoms at theheelcondoms.com.  They transform ordinary heels into something spectacular and unique.  Have fun!

XOXOXO

-L. Danielle

Happy 21st in advance lol I say do it up girl!! Be seen all up and through that karaoke bar so I say go with something like this with a pair of red pumps and big voluminous curls!! Have a great time! Stay chic!!

How do you do the PERFECT wing for eyeliner?

It takes loads of practice to get the perfect winged liner.  Check out beautycrush or juicytuesday’s video on winged eyeliner on Youtube.  Maybelline’s cream liner and the Sonia Kashuk eyeliner brush work great for winged liner.  Good luck!

XOXOXO

-L. Danielle

Winged liner takes such precision and the kind of brush your liquid liner comes with is important as well. I’d suggest Urban Decay’s Perversion. Stay chic!!

shaunswaggg asked:
What would you style burgundy jeans/leggings with?

Possibly a slightly metallic sweater or a hunter green blouse with a pair of peep toe booties. You can also try a leopard or snake skin printed top on its own or just put on a simple white tee with a faux leather jacket and a denim vest over the jacket. Stay chic!!

How do you motivate yourself everyday? What do you remind yourself as a black women everyday? What inspires you, and gives you confidence and pride. I would like to know so that I can start out my day with something different,like a new attitude. Sorry if I'm asking so much. It's out of curiosity.

My faith motivates me, the faith that I have in God and in myself allows me to not feel negatively. Everyday I try manifest the things I want and see for myself and I must say it works. Youre basically putting good energy into the universe so youre bound to get it back. Im inspired by love, food, fashion, by everything around me. I also made a dream board that I look everyday so it reminds me of what Im trying to accomplish as well as continuing to inspire me. I was taught about having confidence from a very young age so now its apart of who I am. I have an abundance of confidence because I believe in myself, I know my worth, I know who I am and I dont allow others to make me second guess that. Stay chic!!

-Tima

Love motivates me more than anything.  Love of self, God, family, friends, boyfriend, everything & knowing that I am loved unconditionally in return.  I think so many black women that I know overlook the love they receive if it isn’t from the person they want it to be from.  I learned at an early age that overlooking those that love you will make you bitter and undeserving of their love so I try to thank them in any and every way that I can because no one has to love me.  It motivates me, inspires me, engulfs me.  Love is my everything.

Thanks for making me think about that.  It’s not a question that I’ve been asked about a lot lately.

XOXOXO

-L. Danielle

The anon’s don’t care about what motivates me, just the women. Bleh.

borntopartee asked:
What to wear with a long-sleeved magenta button up? In terms of everything, head to toe; like jewelry and shoes. :)

Maybe you can do white skinnies, with a black blazer, and leopard flats or glittery pumps. You can also do a print on the bottom something like this or this with a black mary jane. As far as accessorizing I say keep it simple. A nice pair of stud earrings with a men’s inspired watch or an omega necklace with bangles. Stay chic!!

-Tima

I was thinking of a pair of “garter” tights under a pair of black or charcoal woold shorts, an animal print loafer, oversized gold studs, and a gold charm bracelet.  Maybe one with a lighter pink in it and girly charms.  Have fun!

XOXOXO

hello, would you prefer a rose gold watch by marc by marc jacobs or Michael kohrs?? trying to decide between the two!

I’d go with Marc Jacobs just because everyone is walking around with a MK watch these days. Stay chic!!

-Tima

I absolutely love the MK watch but it is a bit too popular for my liking so I would go with Marc Jacobs too.  Good luck!

XOXOXO

-L. Danielle

My glasses either need cleaning, my google isn’t working well or I’m drunk cause I can’t tell the difference between the two watches, flip a coin and choose.

limpyslife asked:
What colors shouldn't lighter skinned girls wear ? Btw love le blog !

That all depends on your skin ton and undertones.  I wouldn’t say there is a certain color that anyone shouldn’t wear but certain colors do look better with certain skin tones.  I would just say wear what ever color you like because color choice is all about personal preference.

XOXOXO

-L. Danielle

I agree. You have to find what colors work best for you which can you be fun because you get to play dress up!! Stay chic!!
