I wouldn't dare call Jay-Z a SassyThing, but we all know he's fly as f*ck!

This Rhapsody commercial is the dopest [period]

Kinda inspiring like his HP commercial. That shit was fly too.

Taraji bares all

2009-05-28T16:28:00.002-04:00

38 year old Oscar nominated actress Taraji Henson bares all for InStyle Magazine.
I'm glad Taraji is getting the shine that she is. She is a great actress, each role she takes on is absolutely believable.

I keep looking at this picture wondering if Taraji has had a tummy tuck. That's the type of tattoo I plan on getting to cover the scar from mine once I have the procedure done lol

No matter the weather my sassy eye is always on the hunt for some sexy footwear. A sassy girl's day definitely varies, so a ton of shoes is always justified in my book. You never know what the day will bring.

I never thought I had a "style" but judging from the similarities in these shoes, I guess I do. Peep toes all the way for the summer, and I'm a sucker for a heel although I've trading in my stilettos for flats more and more recently.

1. Sam Edelman Keaton Booties| Urban Outfitters| $99
2. Marc Jacobs Stars Open Toe Pump on Martini Heels| $530
3. Kentaro| Nine West| $79.99
4. Jeffrey Campbell Marley Platform | Urban Outfitters| $128
5. Sweet Life by Dolce Vita Lace Heel| Urban Outfitters| $128
7. Matt Bernson Equus| PiperLime| $160
8. Miss Marc Ballet Flats| $250
9. Mossimo Penina Gladiator Sandal| Target| $24.99
10. Marc Jacobs Stars Open Toe Pumps| $495
11. Twinkle| Bakers| $59.95

Yes, I know #6 is missing. They're Nike Dunks. They were on Urban Outfitters site but they're no longer there.

ummm can someone buy these glasses for me???

2009-05-19T12:51:00.016-04:00

with MAC's Style Warrior Collection.
This is definitely going to be one of those collections where I have to pick up at least one thing simply because of the packaging.

The colors are not as bright and funky as the packaging, but that's what makes this collection work for me. These shimmering and bronzing shades, some with a pop of color, are perfect for the upcoming summer months.

Here's what I'm checking for from this collection:

From left to right:
Eversun beauty blush ~ Neutral peach bronze with gold pearl
Smolder eye kohl ~ Intense black
Bronzescape solar bits ~ clean yellow brown with gold pearl
Impassioned solar bits ~ frosty cool taupe
Scatterrays solar bits ~ neutral peach bronze with gold pearl

The Solar Bits which I believe first debuted in the Neo Sci-Fi collection interested me then, but I wasn't sure how I would use them, or which to get. I won't let them get away this time though.

from left to right:
Vibrant Grape eye shadow ~ Bright magenta purple
Gold Rebel lipglass ~ Sheer copper bronze with pearl
Brave New Bronze lipstick ~ Creamy mid-tone pink nude

Here are some more items that I'm either on the fence about or intrigue me but I'm not sure how I would use them...I'll try them out when I hit the counter:

Bronzing Powder and Lustre Drops

Skin Sheen

182 Buffer Brush
I know I want this brush for sure. It just that sometimes MAC's prices....

This collection hits stores tomorrow..check it out and let me know what you get.
Or hit me on Twitter and let's discuss! :)

Some of that Honey love

2009-05-19T11:44:00.009-04:00

MAC is creating quite the buzz with their Naked Honey collection available at MAC stores and counters June 11th.
I've been known to go buck wild at the MAC store and suffer the consequences later, so now I head to the counter with what I want already in mind. Here's what I'm checking for from this collection:

from left to right:
Golden Nectar High-light powder ~ Creates soft highlights on cheek, brow, shoulders-anywhere on the body

Buckwheat Eye Shadow ~ Dark copper brown w/ multi-dimensional pearl
Pollinator eye shadow ~ mid-tone warm reddened peach w/ pearl

Buzz lipglass ~ Dark copper brown w/ multi-dimensional pearl
Queen Bee lipglass ~ mid-tone apricot w/ multi-dimensional pearl

The Naked Honey collection also features body products such as Naked Honey Skin Salve, Hand & Body cream, and Body Wash. They've also created 2 scents for the collection, Naked Honey and Africanimal (??) <-- whats up with the name? Naked Honey is described as: An aromatic journey that traces honey's fragrant heart back to summer's sweetest blooms. Energy starts to buzz, spirits soar, light floral and woodsy notes float toward and electric finale. Sweet and sexy all the way. Just like a sassy girl :) I'll definitely take a whiff when I get to the store. Don't forget to follow your girl Sass on Twitter!

I'mma Be...dancing my ass off

2009-05-18T15:17:00.009-04:00

Rap-Up.com has the new Black Eyed Peas buzz single Imma Be. Rap-up says this track won't be their 2nd single but it will definitely make you move. Fergie made me want to stab myself in the eardrum with the "3008, 2000 late" ish, but this song more than makes up for that and I'm not even a B.E.P. fan. Dare I say I like each of their flows on this??? And the beat(s) KNOCK!
Imma Be has many layers and builds to where the end sounds nothing like how it began. Click the pic below and listen for yourself.

One of my favorite songs on Keyshia Cole's latest, Trust featuring Monica. So glad to have Monica back on the music scene.

And speaking of Monica, did you peep her jeweled yellow jacket in the video? Rihanna had on the same jacket last night in NYC.

09 Costume Institute Gala at the Met

2009-05-05T10:09:00.019-04:00

The “Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion” Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City went down on Monday May 4th.

Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham both in Marc Jacobs, and Rihanna in Dolce & Gabanna all did IT for me. Vicky, her flawless face is enough, Kate was giving me Eartha Kitt (RIP), and Rih-Rih.... what more do I need to say?

And though it was a costume gala, Madonna, the material girl herself took it too far in my opinion, as did Leighton Meister (whom I love), both in Louis Vuitton.

As someone who watches The Devil Wears Prada every weekend (shh don't tell anybody), I know Anne Hathaway can do better. I thought her dress was too dark for her fair skin, and the hair, too big. But from far away it doesn't look too bad lol
I love Ashley Olsen's look, she rocked her own design, and the look definitely worked for her. Her sister Mary-Kate in Christian Lacroix, not so much. But I must keep in mind, it is a costume gala.

Blake Lively in Versace, I can't decide how I feel about this look. I love Blake, love the color of the dress and she looks fabulous, the cleavage was a bit much for me though. The girl gives great face and the color looked great on her.

Shoe Fly! Sandal Search

2009-05-04T13:55:00.008-04:00

So I fell in love with this sandal today...

the milan flat by zigi shoes

I think they would look absolutely smashing against my chocolate legs this summer.
But they are sold out in my size :( And because I'm completely OCD, I've gone on a manhunt for a simlar if not the same pair of sandals.

I found these, but they don't quite do it for me like the Zigis do. I like that the Zigis are darker. Plus they cost $129.95. 130 bucks for sandals you're not absolutely in love with is a bit much.

Steven Bianna by Steven bySteve Madden

Here is a more colorful version from Bakers. I think they're cute but I'm not really feeling the snake skin thong portion of the sandal. These are $59.95

Making the Marching Band

2009-04-17T12:59:00.003-04:00

My friend Tamar of MTV'S Buzzworthy blog and Fashion Binge posted the side by side of Mike from Day 26 wearing his black military jacket the day after Beyonce had worn hers. I don't know why this was so humorous to me, but it was. I tried desperately to get a pic of Mike to do the side by side, had him pose in front of my desk and everything (he was a good sport about it), pressed the button on my friend Travis' iphone, but I'd pressed the wrong button and never got my pic. It was devestating for a few minutes lol BUT Tamar to the rescue!! Check out the post on Buzzworthy here.

Clothes call! One time for the big girls!

2009-04-15T12:09:00.026-04:00

We love fashion here at sassythings but to be quite candid, shit don't always fit. Fashion is not always made for the luxe size (i can't bring myself to call myself plus size..i just can't.) frame, and as my grandmother would say "Just cause they made it in your size, don't mean you have to wear it!"
While all my friends can go and pick out cute lil cheap tops, dresses, and bottoms at Forever 21, you can always find me where the accessories are cause Forever 21 has NEVER made anything large enough to wrap around my bust or hips.
Well now, that's changed. Forever 21 is launching Faith 21 their luxe size division. And I have faith I may actually be able to pick up a few cute little low price pieces now. I'm kinda excited!

Faith 21 launches May 1st.

And since we're celebrating big love today lol check out these cute flicks i found on suicide blonde

Tear Sheets!: The Art of Seduction

2009-04-06T14:38:00.007-04:00

According to Glamour Magazine's May issue

Belle also has 6 ways to meet a man

The Single Girl has 3 ways to win/keep a man

We all know Steve Harvey says Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man and Whitney Casey has a Man Plan

So if you're looking for a spring fling or a summer love, there is a WEALTH of information floating around on how to snag a man. I read Steve Harvey's book for a book club, read Belle and Parlour religiously, so I've soaked up quite a bit. But aside from space, opportunity and availability, I think ladies should tap into their brains and instincts in order to snag and keep a man. People are so different and there are so many exceptions no 3, 6, or 9 things are going to work in particular. Don't get discouraged, make yourself available, but never desperate and never NEVER settle. Am I offering love advice?? Time to go.

Shoe fly!: Vivienne Westwood Melissa Shoes - Lady Dragon

2009-03-30T15:20:00.012-04:00

Came across these cuties in an advertisement in Nylon's March 09 issue. I love them! They remind me of the plastic shoes you used to wear to play dress up when you were just a wee sassything.
The shoes are Vivienne Westwood for Melissa. They're quite fun, can be dressed up or down, and are made of PVC.
I wonder if that will make your feet hot or sweat in the summer.
Hmmm. Maybe I'll cop a pair and let you guys know. The peach and custard (yellow) are my personal faves.

Talk to me, what's your verdict on these?

Tattoo artist Bang Bang is appropriately nicknamed as he got to to ink Rihanna again, this time with guns.

The pic is where Bang Bang originally wanted to ink Rihanna but they settled for her ribcage instead as to not get Cover Girl fired up.

“I really wanted to put it here… She loved ‘em.. But, cover girl wouldn’t have liked it much… and they pay the bills!”

Summer is quickly approaching, so I'm sure Ri Ri will have her guns on display soon enough. All pun intended. :)

The video for Friend Lover is below. Let me know what you think.

Personally, their style, personality and energy do it for me. But that's just one sassy girls opinion.

...well not here, here, but Marketing/PR Maven Tracy Nguyen, a good friend of Kelis', gives us the inside scoop on what the pop star has been up to since we haven't seen her in a while.

Nas let us know last month that his wife Kelis is expecting their first child, a boy, later this year and according to Tracy, Kelis graduated from culinary school last year and is now officially a chef. She also plans to open up a restaurant soon.

And as for Kelis' own bun in the oven, Tracy had this to say,

"She looks more gorgeous than ever with an UNBELIEVABLE glow, is in AMAZING shape (only signs of pregnancy is in her tummy) and she is so excited about the baby."

And because you can always count on Kelis for something Young, Fresh n' New, check her new do.

2009-03-11T15:54:00.013-04:00

My sassy eye first spied the Christian Louboutin Carnaval peep-toe pump during Grammy week on siren Keyshia Cole.
A week later, a sultry Jennifer Lopez rocked them on a romantic Valentine's Day date. This week, while watching former child of destiny, Letoya Luckett's video for the Ne-Yo penned Not Anymore, the shoes captured my attention yet again. Lets take a gander, shall we?

This hot "red bottom" is made of silk and crepe satin for the feathers found in the heel cap. The heel is about 4 inches and will only set you back a measly $1665. :)

Brooke Crittendon and Amber Rose have more in common than relationships with Kanye. Both ladies share a penchant for short mesh black party dresses with barely there coverings for their lady parts.

While neither dress tickles my fancy, I personally prefer Brooke's look this time around.
But Ye sure knows how to pick 'em, Amber is a hot one too!

Cover Girl: Michelle Obama

2009-03-06T16:49:00.006-05:00

For the first time ever, someone other than Oprah Winfrey graces the cover of O Magazine since its inception 9 years ago. First lady, Michelle Obama shares cover glory with Lady O for the April issue of the magazine looking absolutely fabulous I might add. The issue hits newsstands March 17th.

The First Lady is also featured on the cover of this month's People Magazine, in a pink lace, sleeveless "kimono" dress from Tracy Reece's spring collection.

Love her!

First Lady Michelle Obama graces Vogue

2009-02-11T09:51:00.009-05:00

Not a fashion model but a role model, First Lady Michelle Obama is rocking the cover of Vogue magazine!
She isn't the first First Lady to do so (Vogue has photographed every First Lady since Lou Hoover and Hillary Clinton was the 1st to make the cover) but I'm sure she's the hottest.

According to AP:

She did choose outfits for the Vogue photos by labels she has worn before: Wu, who made her inaugural gown; Narcisco Rodriguez, the designer of that Election Night dress; and J. Crew, which she and her children have famously worn.
Most cover models have their clothes chosen for them by Vogue, or at least editors work as advisers. Not this time.

Designer/stylist Brea 'B Star' Stinson has always been a bit of a sassy thing. With an innate flair and style all her own, its only natural Brea has been called on to dress most of your favorite celebs.

"It's a labor of Love", says Brea regarding her job as a celebrity fashion stylist. Voted class trendsetter in her senior year of high school, Detroit native Brea Stinson has continued to fashionably influence the masses. Her styling credits include artists like Jay-Z, Usher, Keri Hilson, Christina Milian, sexy sirens Electrik Red and even Match Box 20's front man, Rob Thomas (the girl is versatile!). Brea is also currently working on developing the brand of super talented Raheem DeVaughn and planning the highly anticipated return of R&B crooner D'Angelo. Creating her niche among the most stylish stars by designing one of a kind garments and accessories.

Armed with a BA in Marketing from Clark Atlanta University, between designing and styling jobs Brea also manages to do freelance marketing campaigns for record labels and the music projects that inspire her. As of 2008, she has also added graphic designer to her creative skill set. Her plate is surely full but her own clothing line BStar slated for Fall 09 debut fuels it all.

BStar's women’s collection consists of swanky limited edition pieces like embellished jackets, oversized hoodies (as seen in Chrisette Michelle’s 'Be Ok' video, and Keri Hilson's Fader Magazine cover) and designer tops. And with a rapidly growing fan base, Brea has given her fashionable followers a tasted to whet their appetites. She's released limited edition Freelance Star and Barack O.mama tees which can be purchased from the BS tar boutique on smashingdarling.com.

Over the years, Brea’s name has become synonymous with her company BStar and her tag line has proven true indeed: To look like a star....is to Bstar!

With her hand on the pulse of fashion, we are certain to see more of this style star.

Sass is still waiting on BStar's plus size division, BPlanet lol . Holla at your girl Breezy! lmao

I am a self professed make-up FIEND! This blog was not supposed to be launched until the top of 09 but I just could not resist. If MAC's upcoming Hello Kitty collection is not a Sassy Thing, I don't know what it is.
I'll definitely have to put a few pennies aside for this one because MAC is not going easy on a girls pockets this time around. But I have til February to save, so I'm on it!
