THE REVAMP!

2015/01/img_7496.pngHey Loves! Hope all is well, I truly apologize for my lack in posting. But, I promise it’s for good reason. For weeks now I have been working literally day and night on (nonstop) ideas for the revamp of Certified Validation, which is now known as “The Valid”.

When I first began blogging back in March of 2014 I had no idea that in amongst me doing so I would be exposed to soooo much; within myself and my future in becoming a better blogger.

I’m now at a place where I want more from myself, for my vision and followers. I’m excited to be on this new journey which is (lowkey driving me a little crazy, lol). I plan to bring forth something pretty awesome for you guys and hopefully the revamp will exceed the expectations of us both. Be on the lookout!

In the meantime I sadly won’t be posting as much but, i’ll still be on here supporting my favorite bloggers.

You can connect with me on Twitter @NeverBothered_

Also, Thank you guys for the constant support and also the check ups (I’m okay!) 🙂

Ttyl ❤

THE ARMY CAMPAIGN

Here’s a exclusive look into Olivier Rousteing’s Spring ’15 campaign.

We’ve come to discover that it takes a ARMY but not just any army; a Balmain Army!

For Spring ’15, the Balmain creative genius drafted models Adriana Lima, Joan Smalls, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Isabeli Fontana, and Crista Cober. Rousteing’s vision was to delineate “real” life situations that we unfortunately have witnessed before like a stunned car crash or a fight at a metro station.

“They’re all strong. They are powerful, I wanted to show their power, because obviously they are really sexy and we all know them for their sexiness and the glamour.”Rousteing tells Style.com

SANTA BABY!

*Singing* IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR…*Singing*

To go along with my previous post #GIFTGUIDE and because I’m all in the “Christmas Spirit” and all, I figured it’ll be fun to create some fun looks that are totally appropriate for the holiday season.

For Christmas Day I always try to keep in mind that I want to look fashionable and most importantly comfortable.

The holidays are a time that we all know to spend and enjoy time with our families, friends/co-workers, exchange gifts and EAT!

These looks that I have created are (in my opinion) fun, flirty, sexy and
most importantly chic.

And, with some extra added accessories (clutch, fur jacket, cape, jewelry, etc) to bring it all together and WALLAH! You’ll be all set!

What do you guys think? Hope you enjoy!

Christmas Looks!

#GIFTGUIDE

#MerryChristmas (1)

Hey loves! Christmas is literally around the corner and if you are like me (a last minute shopper) then this post is specifically for you!

I figured I create a #GiftGuide of items that not only I love but others would enjoy too!

This year I’m thinking of doing a gift bag thing, instead of just one gift! Just a bag full of goodies! And, of course these items are for us ladies!

1. Magazine Subscription
Every girl enjoys reading their favorite fashion magazine that will keep them up on the latest. And, what better way then to subscribe to any magazine of your choice. Vogue specifically is only $6
2. Glam Glow Super Mud (Sephora)
This product is amazing and simply the best gift ever! This mud mask is a treatment to target, prevent and heal problem skin.
3. Beyonce 7/11 Sweater
Everyone loves Yonce! Get the “All I really want is you” sweater that Beyonce rocks in her 7/11 video.
4. Sonia Kashuk® Holiday Brush Set
This over the top glamorous brush set makes the perfect gift for any fashionista.
5. Sex in the City DVD Set
I mean no one compares to Carrie,Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. They were everything and still are so this gift is perfect.
7. Gold Gilded Portable Charger
And for a little gadget fun! This Gold all series iphone charger is bomb and stylish.

DENIM x ALEXANDER WANG “TOO SEXY”?

Alexander Wang reveals his latest enterprise, Denim x Alexander Wang.

The designer expresses how he wears jeans everyday and how the three styles are inspired by the “genuine, men’s article”.

The jeans are labeled as Wang 001, Wang 002, and Wang 003 which range from slim leg with minimal stretch to a relaxed cut more “boy” fitting that’s due to a tapered ankle.

German fashion model, Anna Ewers is the face of whats been described as the “provocative”,”too sexy”, controversial ad.

KEEP WARM & LOOK CHIC

Hey loves! So……I have to admit I’ve been lacking a bit of inspiration lately alongside with being busy from school and life. But, I found a little over this 4 day weekend (because of Thanksgiving) to create a set on sweater dresses!

Sweater dresses to me are the most easiest chicest way to not only stay warm during this winter but, to also look sexy, fly and very appropriate for pretty much any setting.

You can look fashionable while keeping warm in a cute, stylish sweater dress! And, you can simply add to your look while keeping warm in mind with a coat,jacket or even a cape that can easily pull the look together. You can totally let your shoe choice be based on how you feel that day. The choice to spice your look UP or down is totally up to you!
