" In Those Jeans "

Wassup, Wassup, WASSUP... ( in my Martin voice ) I know by now some of y'all must think I'm a hater (Ha,Ye Shrugs) I'm not. Ok I lied (lol) I do be hatin' a little on y'all fortunate blessed souls with them hips and booties to match. Don't get me wrong I love my petite frame but I grew up around Curvy woman  (I don't know why I didn't get those genetics *sigh* I think I hatched from a egg or I'm adopted and/or they found me but nobodies talkin' lol).  I find curvy frames so beautiful when it's kept an taking care of nice. That statement brings me to some of y'all that think that you do look good or as we now use the word for good, sexy, pretty ect. is BAD ( Stop it please. I beg you to know what you look like & not to allow thirst of men  that will say anything to get your attention or to get in them draws or your friends telling you your a " Bad Bitch" fool you into false beliefs. No you just look Bad using the original meaning in the dictionary.  Lmao

 Okay but now let's get down to business this weeks topic is about Jeans. I'm talking about different styles & cuts and who should and shouldn't wear them. A lot of us don't know how to pick out clothes for our body types to  accentuate our shape. All to often I see this with my heavier on the thick side ladies. I'm not tryin to single y'all out but it's true. All to often I see a big girl in some skinny jeans looking like if she took a deep breath it be over for them pants (lol). But then again I have seen this happen with men and these skinny jeans as well when they came into fashion. I'd see these thick or heavy set guys with skinny jeans on but they can't even come past his thighs cause they are so tight but they trying to front like " nah I just have them saggin' " chill bro you not foolin' no one the jig is up we know what's up your fat self ain't built for skinny jeans so fall back and leave those jeans to the skate board skinny dudes. Don't be discouraged tho I'm here to help ( rips shirt open and has a S on my chest lol) I have an alternative for you guys and girls, there are boot cut jeans and straight leg for  slim fitting to give that skinny jean look without them looking like your ankles and thighs are choking. For you ladies same thing or why not try to avoid jeans that are so tight they actually tend to make you look bigger then what you are. So a try a relaxer jean which is also known as a boyfriend jeans.

Relaxed Jean: This jean is the opposite of a fitted jean. Typically with high end jeans you will find this only in their Boyfriend cuts. This is where the look is to be relaxed or more slouchy, it should leave more room in the thigh and will not fit snugly to you.



Enough of picking at my thick heavy set men and women you know Chrissyy love y'all  (hug).

 For my fellow skinny petite frame ladies, we are already slim sometimes skinny jeans aren't always the answer they sometimes tend to make us look too thin. Try to find boyfriend cut jeans for you as well that relaxed fit sometimes is sexy wether you wear it with sneakers for that tomboy effect or put a cuff in them mid caf and wear a pair of heels. (this is a great tip for any shape woman wearing these jeans ). These jeans can be dressed up or down, but I know some stray away from them in thinking they will give off a mixed sexual preference but fashion has no sex just all in how you put your outfit together. If you are going to wear a loose fitted pant your top should be more fitted (not saying tight, just more fitted then your pant). Skinny jeans tho are just that made to give a slimming effect even can make a person the illusion of being taller then what they actually are. Skinny jeans are great for getting dressed up with, throw on a pair of heels with them and  you took your outfit up a notch or two.

Here are some other jean/denim  break downs:

Fitted Jean: This is the opposite of a relaxed jean. It is designed to fit snugly to your body. So even if the jean is a Boot leg it still may feel fitted to your shape. This is so it is more contoured to you, , a fit that looks and feels good and moves with you.

 Boot Cut Jeans: A traditional Boot cut jean typically has the 2nd most room in the leg area where it comes down from the hips, is a little slimmer through the thighs and has a slightly smaller opening then the Wide Leg. This cut is generally a good cut for someone who has thicker thighs and needs more room in the legs or for someone who doesn’t want the jean hugging their legs too tightly.

Skinny Jeans: This jean is fitted from hips to ankle and the leg opening will be tight to the ankle. This is a versatile jean that can be worn with any shoe in any season and still look good. A Straight Legged Jean can be a perfect substitute if more room in the leg is preferred.

Straight Legged Jeans: A Straight legged jean will have the same width at the knee area as at the leg opening, or hem area. This is good universal fit for a lot of people. There is a difference between a relaxed and a fitted straight. Some prefer the fitted straight to the ‘skinny’ because it doesn’t taper through the legs as much, staying looser through the knee and ankle, rather than staying tight all the way.

Stretch Denim: Stretch Denim is exactly what it sounds like: stretchy. It should retain its shape better and the elasticity will help the jean stay snug on you, instead of stretching out. This denim mixes quality textiles together and works the materials to have a nice soft fitting jean that makes you look and feel good. The better the materials the more the jean should feel soft and comfortable and stay fitting well through several wears.

Constructive Denim: Constructed Denim is the opposite of Stretch Denim. It should have less give and stretch and will feel heavier and thicker when you touch it. The constructive denim will still have a small amount of stretch to hold its shape throughout the day. This denim does not feel as soft but can still be a great jean and fit. This is a great jean for one who does not like the feel of stretch.

 Lastly my pet peeve are girls That wear low rise waisted jeans that shouldn't. If your tummy or upper body hangs over your jeans it's time to evaluate your life. The most that bothers me tho are the girls who wear them when they have a ass crack that sits high on their back so you see it peeking from the back of the jeans wether they have a belt on or not. This out right grosses me out (maybe its just me) but its freaks me out.

Like always tho I have a suggestion on how to fix and avoid this from happening. High waisted pants have came back into style and are very popular at the moment, they are amazing I feel on all body shapes from skin to thick. These high waist pants give that long look to your body plus can hold in whatever extra you have around the tummy. For extra help with that there are under garments made for that purpose. Your probably thinking of your mom or grandmas  girdles (lol)  but they aren't as ugly and unattractive as they use to be and they can hold in any extra you have around the waist to make it look more slim.Try spanx they make the body look more slim and fitted: www.spanx.com

Its my time to say bye and see you next week has come cause I do have other things to do,  It is Saturday people!  Don't get me wrong I love typing my thoughts to y'all but I gotta go do my hair I'm looking a hot mess at this very moment (lol).  But I hope y'all find this informative and please feel free to comment, with questions or even topic ideas you may have.

I appreciate all that take the time to read my blog post. Thanks Hope you have a great Saturday...

Chrissyy (xoxo but only thru text cause I don't know if any of y'all got anything;  cootie free zone lmao )

To wear heels or not to wear heels...that is the question !?!

Hey guys its that Saturday so you know what that means time for our fashion talk. I had a bit of a hard time deciding on what I wanted to talk about this week cause there's just so much in fashion to touch on, with tips and do's/don'ts.  Then I thought about My last blog post I spoke on sneakers last week so why not this week talk about dress shoes, ( Well mainly heels sorry guys this week I'm not addressing anything with you fashion wise, but maybe this will help you in the future with your lady ). Heels are just to me & to most men the sexiest thing a woman can wear ( well excluding under garments & being plain ol' naked lol ) they are that thing that turn an outfit from casual to sexy or dressy depending on the type of heel it is.  For example if a woman has on a tee shirt and jeans it's seen as everyday and casual ( laid back ) but if she throws on a pair of heels it can turn that out fit up a whole different level.

Some woman tho I've come to find out do not wear heels at all, they are to scared cause of fear of getting hurt and/or humiliated by tripping/falling. Some don't cause they think they can't learn to walk in them or feel are to heavy for them cause they maybe heavy set or on the thick side, then there is the thought that all heels hurt your feet. Then there's those as I've stated before Lost Fashion Souls that wear  heels that they know damn well they shouldn't be wearing, because they can't walk in them with out stumbling. ( I know, I know y'all probably like Chrissyy you ain't right, but y'all ain't right; fronting like y'all haven't seen it or don't do it yourselves or have friends that do it & you telling her " girl you working them shoes " knowing you lying lol ) Some heels ain't meant for everybody and there all kinds of heel size and style alternatives.

There are all kinda of heels from wedged, platform,  stilettos, kitten, cone, prism, spool ( I bet I named a few you haven't even heard of ha ) but each heel can have a different effect on an outfit. Like I said some men find heels to be the sexiest thing, so ladies,  why not have your man come home to you in nothing but the skin you were born in & a sexy pair of heels ( yeah, I'm a freak AND... Lol )

Wedged heels:

Wedge heels describe heels that run the length of the sole or bottom portion of the shoe in the shape of a wedge. This is different from other heels that only provide a heel that drops down from the heel of the foot and comes to a point. You commonly see wedge heels in summery shoes, with open toes, in slides, or in strappy sandals. Wedge heels are a popular fashion choice, never really going completely out of style. They often provide a bit more stability than the standard heel, because the wedge extends out from the entire sole of the shoe. Instead of having to balance on the point of small heel, the wedge allows you to firmly place your full heel on the ground. If you’re unused to heels, wedge heels can be a good place to start.

Platform heels:

High-heeled footwear (often abbreviated as high heels) is footwear that raises the heel of the wearer's foot higher than the toes. When both the heel and the toes are raised equal amounts, as in a platform shoe, it is usually not considered to be a high heel; tho there are also high-heeled platform shoes (example of this kind of shoe would be the popular shoes of Jeffery Campbell and Christian Louboutin). High heels tend to give the illusion of longer, more slender legs.  Shoes with platforms are definitely more comfortable, they make the arch of the shoe less severe and the platform also makes the heel seem not as high.











Stiletto heels:

They are long, thin and can have height from 2inches to 10 inches. They make the wearer’s legs look more toned, sculpted and makes them look taller.

Those are just a few examples and break down definitions of those most popular heels wore that we seen on a regular.   But here are picture examples of those you might not be to use to seeing:





Kitten Heel

 Cone Heel

 Spool Heel




If you are one of these woman out there that don't wear heels and want to learn start off small and work your way up. Even just  wear them around in the house for practice. If you happen to buy shoes that are leather and a bit tight put rubbing alcohol on a in them and walk around in them they will stretch and expand. There is also the good old trick of stuffing them with news paper, these are all tricks so you can avoid taking them to the shoe maker like I said I know times are hard these days with money.  Another way is but your a shoe a half size bigger and buy Gel inserts or cushions those are a good investment.

Oh and another tip for wearing heels – Look for booties, mary jane styles or anything that straps around your ankle.  The less your foot has to work at keeping the shoe on, the more comfortable it will be.

Sooo... Yeah guys that's my insight on heels and my friendly blogger info. Next time I'll go more in depth about what heels I like and think are stylish but this time was just some informative reading for y'all. Even some encouragement to those who don't wear heels to go head an try and a wake up call to those who think that they can wear these high ass heels ( pardon my language ) that they can't walk in at all to stop it or at least walk around at home to practice before stepping out to the club thinking you bad.

Till next time folks.

Much love <3  Chrissyy

You think you stylin' cause your wearin' J's...

Hey my social network freaks and geeks ( I'm waving at the screen lol ) I'm Chrissyy ( yes, with 2 Y's ). I'm new to this whole blogging scene soooo bare with me, but let me start by telling you a little about myself. I've always had a thing for fashion since I was a little girl ( which wasn't that long ago I'm only 24 ha).  Playing with Barbie I never was the one making her have kids or a family (nope) I always played with her making her a business  woman or a model cause I loved dressing her up. So that's how I saw myself in the future. My mom loved that about me ,  she feed my creativity taking me to go thrifting with her and showing me how to sew at a young age, putting me into modeling, ect. I'll never forget the first pair of jeans she showed me how to make into a skirt. I was so proud of it you know I had to wear it to middle school the next day (lol). Modern clothing I like but my heart beats more for vintage fashion pieces, I guess it comes from my love of classic movies and it just fit me best. But to not bore y'all with my child hood lets fast forward a bit to my reason I'm talking to guys on this very blog. This blog belongs to my very funny, opinionated, smart sisters in-law who asked Me if  I wanted to write my view on fashion so I jumped at the idea. It seemed only right, this new family we seem to be building are all complete fashion junkies in our own rights. Especial the men in our lives are major sneaker heads. My Fiance Kash (who raps by the way so check him out on sound cloud : http://soundcloud.com/da-real-kid-kash) brought back my love for sneakers that I had fell off of after high school. It's like our little love bound now which is great (enough of that mushy crap, but yeah go check his music out. Lol super fiancé promo going on lmao ).

Enough about my life thoo... My main topic for fashion this week is about dressing up your sneakers I figured its only right since this is a sneaker head family.

Ladies and gents sneakers are the fast way to making an outfit urban and fresh. Though it seems the whole world is pretty much on there sneak ish, not everyone wears it right. I know what some might be thinking, "that everyone has there own style"  but what I'm thinking is "not everyone style should happen" (lmao). Just because you wearing Jordan's or any sneaker doesn't mean your stylin', most people go super hard to match that they look so drab and boring, some just don't try to match at all it's like they got dressed in the dark or/and whatever cost them a lot of money they wear every name brand they have in their closet. Jordan's are the most popular urban sneaker that this happens with the most people go get the latest pair and make such a fly pair of kicks so corny with how they choose to dress and accessorize it. The first thing you see is the dudes polo down and then J's on their feet (Come on now that's to predictable an has been done way to much) let's try to which it up now. Here's a few quick Chrissyy fashion tips:

• Try to avoid matching with block solid colors. Try looking for a top with a print or logo that may have some of the colors in your kick if you wanna match somewhat. Look for the  least obvious color in the sneaker to match your outfit with so now that part of the sneaker pops and becomes more noticeable.

• Khaki colored pants are the best cause they make any outfit to me look stylish and cool (For you guys tho... as long as they aren't those over sized cargo pockets everywhere pants). Guys lets keep the pants slightly fitted and on our butts please, cause when they are to low it leaves all the fabric on the leg crushed up at the top of your sneaker making you look like little ghetto trolls. Cutting your pants on the side of the hems to make the pants fit over your sneaker is just ugly to me (I don't promote doing that either).

One of my  fashion favorites and tip is everyone should own at least 2 denim shirts a light and medium color in their wardrobe this goes for you ladies as well. It's a sure way to make your outfit look soho hipster fly:

• For the guys lets keep this shirt kinda fitted so you can wear closed and it looks classy and sexy or open with a cool tee or tank with it. Ladies fitted is always sexy but buying a few sizes bigger looks pretty dope to giving it that kinda tomboy "this could be my boyfriends shirt" feel... Having it a few sizes bigger gives it that room to tie it in front or to wear over shorts to look like a dress  or over leggings to cover your butt a bit there's just so many fashion possibilities).

Now ladies I wanna address the fact that most of yall that wear sneakers go that hard to show them off that y'all are matching everything down to the color of your belt and earrings. Even I've been seeing you adding colors to your weaves to match your kicks ( please STOP) that ish looks ratchet no where is it cute or should be happening at all. (If you feel offended by this you probably are one of these lost fashion souls and I'm glad I offended you cause you offend my eyes when I see that crap lol). Ladies let's keep the weaves simple and as close to NATURAL as possible. As for accessories there isn't a need to make your earring hoops match your outfit or your belt. My #1 fashion favorite accessory is bamboo yellow gold earrings.  Its even in hip hop music like LL cool J states in his song Around the way girl - " You got me shook up shook down shook out on your loving (On your loving) I want a girl with extensions in her hair, Bamboo earrings At least two pair. A Fendi bag and a bad attitude, That's all I need to get me  in a good mood. She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang. I love it when a woman ain't scared to do her thing, Standing at the bus stop sucking on a lollipop. Once she gets pumping its hard to make the hottie stop".  It just a number one fashion tip to look like a urban ( ghetto) cutie lol. Doesn't matter the size but as they say "the bigger the better" ha. But I know with the price of gold being through the roof and we are in a recession buying these gold hoops can be a tad difficult. So here's my fashion tip handed down to me: If you buy a fake pair, to avoid them changing color on you coat them with clear nail polish. (They will last you much longer).

Lastly is for the guys please, please, PLEASE... Stop it with the fake chains that is my number one pet peeve I can't deal. If you can't afford a real chain go get you a good wood chain it's cheaper and it's a dope alternative. Check out their site www.goodwoodnyc.com

 Soooo... Yeah guys thats my fashion thoughts, tips, ( rant lol ) it's just the beginning so stay tuned till next time and make sure you keep up with this blog.This family is doing big things and I love it... Sure you guys will too.

Catch y'all on the fashion flip side. Deuces ( Chris brown voice lol )
