On Replay - My Top 3

Photo Courtesy: http://thisbeatgoes.com

I am absolutely a music head! I LOVE music!!! It is the soundtrack to my life.  Luckily for me, my daughter, Cierra Brianna, aka "Ce Ce Momma" or "Princess Cierra," is probably more of a music buff than I'll ever be.  It's perfect because we share our musical loves and discoveries all the time, which is our little unique bonding thing.   Ya mean??!  And now that I think of it, my BFF, Shan, and I also have a musical thing going on!  Anyways, I tend to be a little obsessive (Aries trait) with songs and certain artists (aka Rick Ross, Kanye West and allllll dem) and replay the same songs over and over and over again when I'm loving it.  Here are my current top 3 songs, w/accompanying YouTube links and lyrics, I play (I can't sing but guess what, I don't care one bit.  Aries trait. I will squeal  sanggggg you right under the table without any guilt or shame) on repeat!! Let me know what you honeeyz and guys are listening to lately!! What's on your iPod, in your CD changer, etc..?? What artists are you digging on lately?  How do you feel about my top 3?? Did you fall in love or what!??

#1 Bruno Mars- It Will Rain

Ok so this song is totally blowing my mind right now!! I listened to it on repeat ALL day today. No exaggerating.  Not only can dude blow and got a cute little look going on (the dimples and the hair are adorable), but the lyrics to this song are crazy.  And it definitely does not hurt that the song is from the Twilight: Breaking Dawn soundtrack... OMG Like DUHHH!  Anywho,when I fall in love (LOLOL at the thought. Darn I'm mean and difficult at times), this is the kinda love I need to have!  Please watch the video (I included the official video and a video of him singing live and sounding better than the recording version...talent), listen to the song, and  check out the lyrics in the intro verse!! OMG! Powerful. That's that real for real all the way live kinda love! Right tho!

"If you ever leave me baby, leave some morphine at my door cause it would take a lot of medication to realize what we used to have, we don't have it anymore. 

There's no religion that could save me, no matter how long my knees are on the floor, ohhhhh.... 

So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm making to keep you by my side and keep you by my side and keep you from walking out the door.
Cause there'll be no sunlight if I lose you baby; There'll be no clear skies If I lose you baby; Just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same if you walk away. Everyday it will rain, rain, rainnnnn..."

Styling: On the CrazySexyCool Tip!

CrazySexyCool-ing!!

Not only is CrazySexyCool one of my absolute favorite albums of all time (Ummm who can get enough of "Red Light Special," "Creep" or "Diggin' on You"???) but it's sort of one of my reoccurring dress styles too.  I can go from real extra and over the top which often includes fur, pony hair, animal prints, designer everything, loud colors, multiple textures in one single piece, mixed patterns, unusual cuts and all the drama I can find.  Then in the blink of an eye, I'm sophisticated chic with clean, straight lines; black, grey, navy and muted tones and traditional, basic pieces.  And then there's the CrazySexyCool, which is really kinda my personal substitute for what some people call casual or thrown together looks.  I can't do complete casual (I already told you before that my feet are allergic to flats, that no one should own sweats of any kind for any reason, parenting is not an excuse for lack of style or effort and so forth) but the fact of the matter is that I have a busy life, I do a lot of traveling up and down the road, and I have two demanding children who are involved in a number of activities that require more running around so I can't be over the top crazy ALL the time.  Very unfortunate, yes I know.  So in order to marry those two worlds (an inability to do boring casual and a necessity to be comfortable and flexible at times) I often defer to a casual chic type styles.  This generally consists of blazers with skinny jeans, cargo pants with sweaters, over the knee boots,  leggings and oversized tops with a belt, wedges, booties, and the likes.  Relaxed and easy but pulled together and stylish.

Here is what I wore this past Friday hanging out with my kiddies, going to the movie theaters, running the streets in preparation for Christmas... kinda CrazySexyCool! What are you honeeyz go to favorites for relaxed, chic, casual-like, CrazySexyCool gear?? Please share!! I have:
