FASHION

Anyone that knows me, knows I LOVE fashion. If I could put it in a cup and drink it, I would. With that being said, do not be surprised if a majority of my posts wind up being fashion related. Im kind of obsessed with it and thats not going to change. Honestly, I chose LSU for college because they have a Fashion Merchandising program (Geaux TAM!).  I have learned so much over the years and I feel I know enough now to share with others & help the.....ummm, how can I put this nicely?......fashionably challenged. 

                                           

I will post photos of my wardrobe, magazine covers, advertisements, photo shoots, etc. I will even give away some advice on fashion trends & styling. I will also share my fave places to shop (online & brick and mortar). I dont have anybody funding my life so my fashion picks will be very affordable and I will share all the scoop on the amazing deals I find!

These are just a few of the stores & brands that I love. DVF (I die for her), BCBG (sexy, chic & affordable luxury), Betsey Johnson (the colors, the prints, the chaos...LOVE), Victoria's Secret (ok, Im beyond obsessed with this store. My old credit card statement for them will prove it.), TJ Maxx (dont sleep on this store! good designer merch on the low low!), Bakers (the shoes give me life), YOOX.com (designer deals), and Michael Kors (I love him & his sexy, classic brand).









Well, thats just a taste of my fashion tea! Come back for more!

Love,
Coco

Thank You For Your Opinion

Someone told me recently that they think my degree in Fashion Merchandising will be worthless once I graduate next month. They actually said the word WORTHLESS. Had that person told me that about a year ago, I would've started thinking "Is my degree worthless?" "Will I get a job?" "Did I waste my time/money?" However, I have been in such a good place recently that my response to that was "Thank you for your opinion." I did not let the negativity get to me. Instead, I put it in the same pile as the rest of the negative comments I've received in the last few years. If I listened to everyone that said something negative (i.e. "You're not going to go back to school" "Grad school is not an option for you", etc.) then I would be sitting at home, in my room, drowning in my sorrow like I was a few years ago when I was suffering with depression and an anxiety disorder. I was able to pull myself out of depression and funct

I cant LYE, I love my Natural Hair

Hello, my name is Courtney and I used to be addicted to Creamy Crack. It was an addiction that lasted for years. Finally, about a year ago, I decided to kick that bad habit. Cold turkey. It wasn't easy, but I made it. I can happily say that I am finally natural and loving it!  The process of going natural is difficult. Anyone that tells you it isn't, is lying through their kinky curly head! Resisting the urge to perm is hard. There were many days that I would look in the mirror and just stare at my hair in pure disgust. I had a real love/hate relationship with my hair for a few months. Luckily, I have a live-in beautician (hey Kel-Bel!) that assisted me through the tough times. She was like my transition sponsor! She went through the process so it made my transition not as horrible as Ive heard they can be.                                        Me and my Naturally Beautiful sister Kelly  After being anti-weave for years, I got my very first sew-in during my transition. I

Undergrad has come to an end...But its FOREVER LSU!

In June 2009, I made my triumphant return to college. After sitting out of school for nearly 4 years, I officially became an LSU Tiger. I walked on campus (got lost!) and felt proud to be there. I was so excited to begin my journey as a Fashion Merchandising major. I was ready to see what LSU had in store for me. Now, its May 11,2012 and I am officially done with my undergraduate degree. I took my very last final this week and I am now awaiting graduation (7 days!). Can you believe it? One week until graduation. Signing my Senior Checkout papers I still remember my very first class, Intro to Fashion Design. I learned about colors, sketching, and fashion figures. I even designed my first "line". I still have that project on the wall of my room.                                                                    My 1st Project During my time at LSU, I got to put my love of drawing and fashion to use, created business plans, designed bridal gowns, designed/set up a mer
