she got a mean SHOE GAME!

Lately I've been finding shoes for less that looks like expensive shoes. So I have to post the buget version, especially since this is the Christmas season. I like these booties because they look like the Alexander McQueen booties. I think I found them on Aldo shoes website. Enjoy!

she got a mean SHOE GAME!

I was browsing Aldo Shoes and came across these beautiful shoes. They remind me of the Christian Loubou's I've seen recently on a few celebs. These shoes retail for about 110$ and would look perfect with a pencil skirt, ruffled white shirt & a blazer!

she got a mean SHOE GAME!

Growing up I was never 'that' girly girl but as I get older, thats exactly what Im turning into. Of course I prefer the jeans and sneaker look anyday but I like having the option of skinny jeans and a nice shoe. These grey Steven Madden shoes caught my eye because I could easily dress them up or down!

she got a mean SHOE GAME!

So I was browsing gossip websites as well as shoe websites and came across a shoe that could pass for the other. I found a look a like shoe (By accident) on Bakers shoe website. I just found a similar pair on Baby Phat's wesbite. Im not exactly sure where Christina (Milian) Nash got hers from but they look the same to me. Enjoy!

A Random Tuesday....

Hey people, To say that this has been a wild ride so far is an understatement. I've been going back and forth through the motions of what to do, and where to go and etc. I've happy that I made the leap to even come out here and give it a shot. I sooo want to live in Santa Monica and that may not be possible RIGHT NOW but Im def working on making that happen. People I really wish you all could be here to see the same things Im seeing and to experience this as I experience it. Hopefully you'll be here soon. -Jonez

Split

FYI: Event took place Nov. 14!!
Right now I'm in the midst of an art gallery/exhibit. Coming here I didnt know what to expect, would it be a crowd of snobbish people holding wine glasses with their noses stuck up in the air or would it be a room full of hipsters with dreads and beer? I was actual a lil terrified when I walked thru the doors. Instantly I felt ok. The music wasn't too house but a few lines of Tweet shone thru. My first glance led me to five photos of a beautiful geometrical house but it was more than a house, it was serene. I'm now calm. Im greeted by Greg but I dont return his smile.I'm very annoyed with him but I wont ruin his night. He worked super hard for this and I have to let him enjoy it, but tomorrow is a totally different story.

The crowd is now growing, more conversation and more drinking. A painting has caught my eye and can't t move to another. The patterns transport me to somewhere, where I dont know but far from the bullsh!t of here. Takes me to a place all alone. I've finally moved on but to a place I know Esse would love. There's a tee shirt but it's disected into more than a shirt. Im feeling like even I could be a designer. Despite a disaster of taking buses and getting lost this was an event I was happy to have been at. Not a true lover of art but tonight an innocent crush was established, I look forward to exploring what else Split and Causecast has to offer.

Where'd you cop them?

For some reason I really like this colorway of Supra's, It kinda reminds me of wheat timberlands. I could see a guy pairing them with a dark denim and a white shirt. I think I likey. (laughing) Cop them here (http://www.karmaloop.com/products.aspx?ProductID=43442&VendorCode=SUP)

Fresh...Dope..Live...

First heard this song on the 2009 VMAs, and couldnt get it out of my head. Listen carefully!

Tristan

Goodbye New York!

So this is it! This the moment that I've been waiting for, the moment of truth. The moment where Tiffany/Tristan becomes that person that she has always wanted to be. The tough chick! The one who will get on this plane and come out on the other end, stronger and more confident than before. This is MY moment of Truth. After I land, I'll post something. (Well I'll try) -Tristan Jonez

The Three Musketeers! (Sp?)

I couldn't have asked for a better set of musketeers, even If I knew what I was supposed to ask for. Im so grateful and appreciative of Joanna and Amilcar that words couldn't explain the love that I have in my heart for them. Joanna gave me that extra push when I was allowing myself to be 'normal' and 'regular'. Lord knows she eventually got on my last damn nerves BUT its because of her, Im boarding a plane to Los Angeles today! Amilcar had the hardest part, he had to be my counselor for any days that I was doubting my ability to be great... which was everyday!!! Im surprised that he didnt curse me out and tell me to stfu in the process! I think If I had, had his job I would've quit a long time ago.
So Amilcar & Joanna, Thank you for every encouraging word and action you've EVER done for me. My appreciation goes far deeper than any words I could ever possibly write. I sincerely thank you from the bottom and the top of my heart for befriending a crazy wildchild like me!

MOB Contest

This is a piece I wrote for "Married to the Mob" and Karmaloop.com's contest. I thought I'd share it with you.

Im the most official blogger because I keep it all the way real. I dont blog about things I know nothing about. I try to make sure I write about topics that my readers can relate to. No Im not a fashionista but yet I fake it until I make it. I just recently added the section, Where'd you cop them? (A collection of fly kicks for girls and guys), She got a mean shoe game ( Shoes that are sometimes affordable but most time shoes that will make even a man take notice). I've also added the section, Can I have some ... SEX? Which helps to answer people's questions about just that. A lot of times, theres no one to really answer those type of questions and my responses are to help in any way I can. Im VERY experienced when it comes to sex, and Im not afraid to share my vast knowledge with the world. I understand that putting so much of myself out there can have its negative consequences but the positive outweighs the bad.
Im also the most official blogger because Im not going to stop doing my thing because so called friends dont like what Im doing. Its crazy how you can start off being friends with someone, thinking they support your dream only to find out, behind your back they hope and pray you fall on your face. I cant tell you how many friends I've recently lost because Im so determined to move to Los Angeles and make my dream of becoming a writer come true. I refuse to stop living my life because a mofo has a problem with it. As I write this, I have two so called friends that I actually work with, whom I have to see each and everyday at work, who are publically trying my patience. Instead of me just popping off, Im continuing to be who I am. Eff who has a problem with it. .... Got a little off topic (Laughin)! At the end of the day, Im doing what I love to do, which is write. I welcome the benefits as well as the set backs. So in the words of Married to the Mob, "Do I look like I give a fuck?"

Thank you for taking the time to read my submission. Tristan Jonez aka Tiffany C

she got a mean SHOE GAME!

I believe these are the first pair of flats I've featured on her but look at them, they are FIRE! I think Im really into the ruffled girly look and the shade of blue is gorgeous. They also come in Black and Vanilla. Cop them (http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3023831?Category=&Search=True&SearchType=guidednav&keyword=sandals+in+Women%27s+Shoes+%3e+Blue&origin=searchresults)

Being Me

Sometimes I hate the fact that I put other peoples feeling before my own. I'm always trying to improve life for others. I always want to do all that I can for someone out of the kindness of my own heart. I'm never looking for more in return than a thank you. Even if I don't get that I'm still willing to continue to do what I have to for that person. As everyone knows by now I'm leaving soon. I'm doing something for someone but kinda at the sacrifice of time. I'm racing against a clock! I now have three days to pack, make sure storage is ok, say goodbyes and etc. If I don't stay on schedule even an hour it throws everything off. Remember I'm still getting to work everyday on time. I can't afford to be late!! I just spoke to my dad and he kinda upset me. He just basically said I need to put myself first. AND when I'm gone people are either going to do for themselves or find another sucker. I hate when my dad is right!

The Manicure

>

I think Purple & Yellow is the BEST combination to put on your nails.I even tried to do a lil design! Enjoy.

5 Days and Counting

As the days dwindle down to November 9, I start to think about the small things that's going to matter so much. I'm always thinking about the pizza that I used to eat in Dyckman, or the hot chocolate I'd be dying for on the lower east side when the temperature was really cold. Ive been thinking about my bff Jeff and now we wouldn't be in the same city together. Yes thats the same Jeff who baby mother HATES me! There were many times when we would sneak and see each other, what can I say he's my BEST friend or at least he was. I know Los Angeles is the land of the beautiful, but my only concern is who in the hell is going to give me my wash and sets?!? As nervous as I am, Im moreso excited. Something in me is telling me everything is going to be ok.

Where'd you cop them?

What a POP of color! I love the purple against the very bright teal. Im not sure if these come in women sizes but I hope so. Even though we are going into the winter, these can still be worn! Just think of how you will stand out while walking through the snow... Loves it!

She got a mean SHOE GAME! (Emergency Edition)

I JUST HAD to post these shoes immediately! I nearly choked while drinking my lemonade Snapple! Im trying to figure out what to say about these shoes but nothing I could say would do them any justice. Cop them (http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/zed-sandal-dk-brown.html)And of course they are made by L.A.M.B.

The Manicure (Halloween Edition)

In honor of Holloween I did a blend of tangerine, emerald and black. I call it, Spooky aka Halloween 2009, Enjoy!

she got a mean SHOE GAME!

I like the overall design of the shoe as well as the color, they also come in a deep brown. These are a 5 inch stiletto stacked heel but if you can walk in them, Im NOT mad at you. They are a tad bit expensive (224$) but if you can afford to part with your money, these are the shoes to purchase. Cop them (http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/ziska-heel-natural.html)

Hidden Gem (Bars)

I've been fortunate enough to have good friends who like to hang out and try different spots around New York City. I've put together a short list of my favorite places from this summer.

*Whiskey Traders
The drinks are strong and very tasty for 3$. My friends and I always go for the cosmos, appletini's or watermelontini's. Sometimes I even venture and get raspberry mojitos. Usually during the week its pretty dead but Saturday's are very entertaining because the crowd is mixed & there's a DJ.

*Continential
There special is 10$ for any five shots. And you can use any type of liquors. Im not sure about any drink specials they might have but with 2$ shots does it really matter?

*Cooper 35
This is an Asian pub with the dinner menu never costing more than 12$, and the teriyaki salmon is to die for. But I dont just go there for food, the drinks are 4$ and they have quite a variety of STRONG blends including blue hawaiians and long island iced teas.

*Maracas
If your in the mood for mexican food & cheap booze, then maracas is the place you want to be. Everyday there's a different drink special but Mondays, IMO, are the best. Its 3.50$ margaritas in glasses big enough to share, and in more flavors than one. Thursday are also a hit with 4$ frozen cosmos (My fav) and they are so good!

Fresh..Dope...Live...

I've been a big supporter of Trey Songz since he first came on the scene. This song speaks to me on so many levels, I quietly wished VA could mimick the words to this song. Trey songz's most current album is out now!!

Hey, oh,
High heels on,
Hair did,
Can’t no other woman rock a dress like this,
Body bangs,
Doing her thing,
She the only reason for the song I sing,
And I wish I could be there,
When she get ready for,
Dancing in the mirror and talking on the phone,
Telling all her home girls,
What she putting on,
They already know she putting on,

Coz when she hit the club,
Heads turn around,
She living it up,
Drink up in the club,
I’m in love from afar,
Baby girl I wanna be where you are,
Where you are,
Baby girl I wanna be where you are,
Where you are,
Girl I wanna be where you are,

Should I make a move,
Or should I fall back,
Let you do what you do,
See in you in the song,
I ain’t trying kill the groove,
Know you turning down all them other dudes,
But I,
Ain’t nothing like them, oh no,
Can’t fight the feeling,
Girl I wanna know about you, yeah,
Baby don’t you get me wrong, no,
But I’ve been watching you so long,

Coz when she hit the club,
Heads turn around,
She living it up,
Drink up in the club,
I’m in love from afar,
Baby girl I wanna be where you are,
Where you are,
Baby girl I wanna be where you are,
Where you are,
Girl I wanna be where you are,

Are you here from one of dreams,
Cause I don’t want to ruin this fantasy,
To take the chance,
And you don’t wanna be mine,
But you gotta be in my heart,
Girl I’m coming over to you,
I’ll put my pride to the side,
But I wanna leave with all your love,

I just wanna be here,
Where you are,
Baby girl I wanna be where you are,
Where you are,
Please don’t deny me,
Baby girl I wanna be where you are,
Where you are,
Baby girl I wanna be where you are,
Where you are,
Girl I wanna be where you are,
Where you are,
Baby girl I wanna be where you are,

Coz when she hit the club,
Heads turn around,
She living it up,
Drink up in the club,
I’m in love from afar,
Baby girl I wanna be where you are,
Where you are,
Baby girl I wanna be where you are,
Where you are,
Girl I wanna be where you are,

I’ll go where you go,
I want to be where you are,
Wherever you go,
Girl I’ll go there,
I’ll prepare,
I’ll go,
Baby I’ll go,
That’s all I think of.

Trist got the HEART of a lion!

Since I've made the decision to follow my dream and go to LA, I've had to justify to a lot people as to why Im doing this. Whatever the reason, it doesnt change the fact that Im still going. Im NOT asking for your support, I believe in myself ENOUGH to know that Im going to be successful at Whatever I put my mind to. You already know I dont believe in 'haters', just people without imaginations, which infact is very sad. Im not going to let anyone deter me from the goals & dreams I have. I've been listening to this song constantely for the past few weeks because it 100% describes how I feel. I've decided not to post the music but I want you to READ the lyrics carefully.

[Verse 1]
Please save a kid that needs some help
And I can't begin to think of anything that could help
But the weed is guaranteed indeed just what I need
How I feel upon a time so recent in time make me sad
When I recollect,
How it use to be like David and Goliath kinda like me and the devil
Tryna rip out my soul tryna catch a nigga on sleep no no
You can try again and I'll be ready
Won't let you kill me in my dream like Freddy Krueger
Nooo I'm not no loser I'll see you in hell

[Chorus]
At the end of the day my momma told me
Don't let no one break me, let no one break me
At end of the day, day, nobody, nobody,
Ever could stop me ever could stop me
At the end of the day, day you can't regret it
If you were trying if you were trying
At the end of the day, day I'm walking with a heart of a lion yea

[Verse 2]
Please save a kid that needs some help
And I can't see ahead of me so I move in stealth
Hide and seek within a dream
I seem to glide above my horror though
I feel I'll never be complete inside the dark I borrow
To proceed and remain intact my mental is so unstable
And they talk and judge a man they have no clue of what im capable
Till I show a side of me no one had thought could be within
I told ya no I'm not no loser I'll see you in hell

[Chorus]
At the end of the day my momma told me
Don't let no one break me, let no one break me
At end of the day, day, nobody, nobody,
Ever could stop me ever could stop me
At the end of the day, day you can't regret it
If you were trying if you were trying
At the end of the day, day I'm walking with a heart of a lion yea

No, no, no, no, no, no, noooo
(the heart of a lion, the heart of a lion)
Yeah no Yeah (x4)

[Verse 3]
I'm just a kid who needs no help
I've achieved a bigger thing no cash or check could be more blessed
And if you would've seen the things I've seen up in my stumble?
You'd be shook stay awake no need to run your fate will follow you
You should know not for the faint at heart this world understands no coward
It's a goal a simple code I stay on the grind to the 25th hour
And I know the fight in me is somewhere hiding deep within
I told you no I'll never let you drag me down to hell no

[Chorus]
At the end of the day my momma told me
Don't let no one break me, let no one break me
At end of the day, day, nobody, nobody,
Ever could stop me ever could stop me
At the end of the day, day you can't regret it
If you were trying if you were trying
At the end of the day, day I'm walking with a heart of a lion yea

No, no, no, no, no, no, noooo Yeah no Yeah (x4)

The Manicure

Over the weekend I found some time to give myself a nail make over. I found some polishes I thought I'd lost so new ideas came to me, I call this one July Fifth. I also gave my niece a simple colorway which I call Royalty, since I used purple & Gold. Enjoy!

The Manicure

I see the designs I want to do in my head and then I put them on nails. Remind you I have NEVER been good in art but I somehow make it work. I did my niece's (ESSE) nails yesterday and they came out excellent!!! This design is called Strawberry & Leopard
