the fashionista under my roof....

Meet Betty RAI (my daughter)....

Don't let those innocent looks fool you! She's sharing and caring, but she has a sass out of this world....the smartest lil thing I have ever met. 

She's 3 and love fashion, having fun, and talking back!

And I was fortunate enough to get an interview out of her....

And helping mommy clean and cook! I love doing exciting stuff and silly stuff and crazy mouth stuff (she means silly faces)." LOL!

• Her fashion sense: Pretty much screams individuality! She loves mixing patterns, layering,  and mommy high heels.

• Bethany who are your fashion icons? "Mommy,  Brooklyn and Trinity (best friends) and Niki (mommy best friend) and Daddy, but he's not a girl" 

Bethany FAVORITE phases:

"Y'all look fannnnccyyy!"

EffortLESS Wednesday!!!!

Hi Ladies!!!!

Here's this Wednesday EffortLESS selection:

This week effortless outfit is pretty simple and just right for the welcoming of Summer.....It was a beautiful day and lately I haven't been getting out for lunch. But I was surprised to have a lunch date today. So I was able to get out of the cold air-conditioned building and greet the sun. I was so excited to find that a mall near my job has these cool Karaoke booths (pictured below EffortLESS post)....I LOVE Karaoke!!!! OMGosh, I am getting that tingling feeling just talking about it. I know what I may be spending my lunch time doing from now on...LOLOL!!!!!

Does anyone else hate it when at the end of the day their bottoms feel a bit baggy....when they seem to fit the way you liked in the morning? It is as if I lost leg weight through-out the day. hmm. Why can't it be that easy around my mid-section?!

What I am Wearing....

~ Button down shirt

~ White shorts (had these babies for a long long time)

~ Denim hooded jacket (gifted to me by bestie, Niki)

~Matisse sandals (My fave cousin works for Matisse shoes!!!! I so love it! I am sure these shoes sell retail for...well i dunno but I only paid a whopping $10....yep that's right TEN BUCKS....so when I have the urge to splurge and I am on a budget...meaning I have lil to no dough for shopping I shop for Matisse shoes)

~ Dream Catcher Earrings....purchased Downtown LA $1 

~ New York charm bracelet....purchased in NY

~ Denim/Pink Suede 2-sided bracelet...purchased in HS from Nordstrom

~ Live in Love Leather Band bracelet....FREE from Lucky Brand w/purchases a long time ago

Hey yall!

This past weekend I happened to stumble upon this fabulous blog. http://jessieadore.com/blog/. The creator is Jessie, she has beauty, brains, big hair and this amazing style that I am so in love with already. I couldn't pull myself away from my laptop for about 2 hours on Saturday surfing her site. I haven't looked through all of her looks as of yet. But she has some great inspirational flicks for us, check it out! I am totally inspired AGAIN. Where has Fashion blogging been all my life? There really are some creative fashionistas out there. Kudos to you all! Keep up the amazing work of art.

Here is my absolute favorite look of Jessie's!

What do you guys think?

I can not wait to put together my version of this Jessie inspired creation.

I think she is just gorgeous and that outfit......DOPE! She reminds me of Raven Simone.

SRC: queenunique

So go ahead and open up another tab.....head on over there! Check out those witty titles, her awesome style and she even has a great sense of interior design.

ALSO......check out the posting "Sometimes, my brain escapes me"

I am not a fan of sweat pants at all. But I took one look at the pictures and was stunned. Jessie had me wanting to go out to Wal-Mart and grab me a pair. LOL

Have FUN!

Ahh! Great company, lots of laughs, and such a awesome bday gathering

Now after all that I am totally relaxed!!! Just what I needed.....loved ones. And they were so freaking hilarious! We spent hours after the club and about 4 hours today at my house clowning around....I laughed so hard I cried listening to the guys "bag" on each other.

Besides prayer, the remedy to feeling better about anything you may be going through......laughter and great people to be around!


As you all may have read Friday, I was ecstatic about hanging out with my best friend and the old gang for her birthday. We had an awesome time at the Saddle Ranch on Saturday.  And I wanted share a few photos of our eventful night.......

PHOTO OF THE MOMENT!

2 Drunken Hotties...lol 

This night was a blast!!! And I wore one of my designs! I don't have a clear full body shot of it but I think you can catch it on the bull riding picture. Speaking of the riding of THE BULL. I was completely nervous when I was pressured into getting on that mechanical beast. I was totally against it, but the odds were against ME.  I even covered my eyes when I walked through the gate to mount the bull. SO EMBARRASSING! However, I rode that baby and what do you know. I got on it a second time! ;-) Yayy!!!!

Lesson of the day: Get over your fears by facing them!!! LOL

Thanks for reading!!!!

~Luv Ronnie

The Face behind FASHION ~VJDesarden~

Mom who loves fashion. I started designing when I was a very young girl. I used to design clothes for my barbie dolls using decorative paper towels and sewing thread and socks! In high school I was enrolled in fashion design class. My friends and I were so into fashion. We would do things like change the color of our nail polish everyday to coordinate with our outfits & and take pics at the 1 hour photo shop like EVERY OTHER DAY. We would love to make clothes in sewing class and wear them to school as soon as the project was complete. A few years after high school, I decided to start my own clothing line under the name of KADO Klothing. Named after my son Kam’ren Dominick. I started with a logo design and created t-shirts that was given away as promotion. This never went anywhere because I didn't keep to it. To be successful at something we must eat, sleep and breath it....

I LOVE Fashion.....

and I don't care what anyone else is wearing, I am going to be me. I am going to start the trend. 

I am the Rebel of Life and Fashion! 

2 things I strongly believe.....fashion doesn't necessarily have to make sense

and

SHOES are investments too! ;-)

EffortLESS Wednesday!!!!

Hey!!!


Jump for joy! It's about that time!!!!

This outfit was one of my fave's! I might actually wear these pieces together again. For me, it complimented my body type. I have long legs, and in JHS and HS I hated them. Because I was super skinny and was called BONES! LOL. But today, I love them! I learned what you suppose to do with them, LMAO! *Get your mind out the gutter* I am talking about Fashion here. If you know me then you know that I am slender. I may be top heavy but not at all am I apple-bottomed. I wish I was! Well, there were these few months last year when I did gain some weight and I loved it! I had a lil booty....well so much for dreaming, I am back to my old self. LOL.

This outfit hides all my flaws and gives me a lil extra where needed!

FYI....I wasn't sure about wearing the belt, in certain seating positions it accentuated my belly rolls. That definitely wasn't the look I was going for. But once I got to work Kara gave me the green light. So I went with it.

EffortLESS Wednesday presents: Bling, Patent Leather, Vintage

For slender gyrls like myself, I suggest when going for a sexy/edgy kind of look like I was in these photos, go for the blazers that cut at the waistline (that is if a blazer is incorporated with your look) and for the gryls that don't really carry much rump weight, stretchy pants with back pockets always portray a lil more than what it really is. ;-)

The contour of the tuxedo shirt and by adding this belt gave me somewhat of a hourglass figure..."Who knew I ever had it in me?"

=)

The Accessories......

Ashy black ruffled blazer, tuxedo shirt, & indigo blue jeggings, wrap-around belt: vintage (from my moms closet), patent leather peep-toe booties: Aldo's, ring: compton boutique
