So, I received a coupon for a site called Le Tote and had no clue what the site was all about and decided to research. It's basically a site where you can rent clothing and accessories by paying a monthly subscription fee. If you do not like what you received, then you just send back what you do not want and purchase whatever item(s) you decide to keep. Am I the only person who isn't aware of this? Those who know me, know that I will research anything. So, what I've decided to do is list a couple of sites that are like Le Tote and give you a little bit of information about them. Would I personally subscribe? No. Reason is: I have time to shop mostly and if I don't, I will make time. These are basically for those people who do not have the time to shop, or who are a bit indecisive on what they want to wear to some future event, or basically just like the whole idea of renting clothes and sending them back. Whatever the case, hey if you like -- go for it! Get out there and experience all things rent-a-clothes and tell me about it! Here is a list below (click the names to see the sites): Le Tote It's a site where you can rent clothing and accessories by paying a monthly subscription fee.

As long as I can remember, hairstyle preservation has always been a problem in the black female household. Spending $50 (or more) at the hairdresser and then going to bed worrying about how your hair will look in the morning. Most times this wouldn't be an easy task. Asking a black woman to just go to sleep without wrapping her hair up or putting a bonnet on it will get you the nastiest glare... Searching for the right hairstyle preservation method is no easy task but we each manage to find one that works for us. Here are some links (below) to check out and post what method(s) you have tried and what works for you.
Sharmooz Satin-Lined Caps (Slap's) My Crowning Jewel
This Fall season in fashion seems to be all about the fringe whether it's on boots, handbags and clothing. Have fun with it. From what I remember last year the fringe was in. It seems this is a trend that isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Here are some looks to check out. (Click the picture in order to see where these styles are sold) I came across this little article in Harper's Bazaar about there being science studies done, that prove that there are 7 things that can boost the attractiveness of women with men. Of course it's always good reading about ways to make yourself look extra enticing. Well, at least this interests me. Not too sure that this is true all the way across the board considering there are plenty of married women who simply don't fit into some of these categories, but meh, tell me what you think.... 1. Heels According to this study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, not only was heel height found to be directly proportional to a woman's attractiveness to men, but men were increasingly likely to exhibit helpful behavior and to spontaneously approach a woman the higher her heels were. 2. The Little Black Dress Black has been determined by many sources to be the number-one color associated with characteristics such as sexiness, confidence, and intelligence. 3. Shoulder-Baring Styles Thought breasts and butts were the only features men cared about? Think again. Researchers at the University of New South Wales discovered that men were highly attracted to women's shoulders and arms. 4. Something Red The color of passion, love and romance is a favorite of men for women and of women for themselves. Surprise, surprise. The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology just made official what we already knew. 5. A Bodycon Silhouette While long limbs (as indicated above) are still high on the list of attractors, there's no denying the seductive appeal of a buxom hourglass figure. A paper published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior indicates that women with larger bust-to-waist and waist-to-hip ratios tend to catch men's eyes faster and keep their gaze longer than their longer, lankier girlfriends. If you have those Kim Kardashian curves, flaunt them. 6. Lipstick On a bad day, there's always lipstick. Nothing provides the instant pick-me-up quite like a swipe of your signature shade—and apparently others will respond to it, too. Researchers at a French university found that waitresses who wore red lipstick saw boosted tips from male customers. Similarly, a study conducted by Boston University women wearing a moderate application of makeup were perceived as more attractive, competent, and trustworthy. 7. Sunglasses While not technically supported by any official study (that we know of), every fashion girl knows the power of a good pair of shades for making her look put-together and hiding tired eyes. Not to mention adding a touch of mystery and intrigue that's guaranteed to turn heads.
