Ladies, have you been turned down for sex? I mean, what able-bodied, testosterone filled, heterosexual male turns down an open and willing woman for sex? Well, apparently, many of them do... I just read a great article in the September issue of Details magazine entitled, "He's Just Not That Into It." According to the article, men are rejecting casual sex not because of their sexuality or some crazy reason, but they actually don't like the way that they feel afterwards. Additionally, after … [Read more...]

August 20, 2007 By 4 Comments
Ok, so I am still a little mixed about the high waisted look. I previously found Eve's look above a little too much for my taste. I have since found similar looks that have been much easier on my fashion palette. You have to understand, since I am a little hippy check, the high waisted look is murky territory for me. I could either look crazy fly or just plain crazy.....Elise NealThen I saw a few pics on the web. Elise Neal's mixture of colors and prints creates a stunning fun and youthful … [Read more...]

A reader and recent college grad sent me an email and asked what to wear to work on a budget. Miss DJ writes, Hi Celena, I love your site! I would love if you could help me out!

MAN DAY: Is your neck really that cold?

Fall is fast upon us, so I might as well (begrudgingly) start writing about fall fashion....but, truth be told, this can be worn year round.... On this MAN DAY, let's discuss the man scarf. Man scarves can add an air of elegance (think silk scarf draped with tuxedo/black tie evening attire); liven your casual look (think patterned wool scarf flung around your neck with tee shirt and denims); or just keep your neck warm. It is very utilitarian. I prefer to see the man-scarf with the Chelsea … [Read more...]

Jill Scott, "Hate on Me" This is DEFINITELY my new theme song.... I am a member of the little hippy chick club. Not too big, not too small--just in between. Before I became a bonified member of the the club, I can freely admit that I was indeed mesmerized by all of the thin runway models and their hanger/rack-like ability for clothes to hang on them perfectly (adults fall into peer pressure, too). But, when I tried to join the waif club, my husband said to me, "Um, baby, what happened … [Read more...]
