DELAYED

I broke my camera and my life has been hectic. Beyond hectic. I was in school full time, working full time, doing an internship, and my family is going bonkers. Those are the reasons why I broke my promise that I would begin blogging again soon. But this time I'm not lying. I've been having way too much fun with life not to share. I'll begin with a few random updates just because I gotta start somewhere right? The quality of my pics is probably....not it definitely will be shit because I have to use the camera on my phone until I find another camera that I enjoy. I'd really enjoy a dope lil Nikon, but that would have to be something I save up for and buy as a Christmas gift to myself or something like that. Here are random things that have popped off over the last few months...


I've started wearing my hair out a lot more. I wear weave most of the time because my hair is SUPER difficult to deal with and I'm way too focused on my gear to care to fight with it on a daily basis. I think it was Fredric Fekkai that said "Hair is an accessory that you wear everyday" and I couldn't agree more. I just wish that I had the strength and know how to dedicate to managing mine. Braids, tracks, and wigs work just as well though. Ultimate accessories indeed. A lot of people think that I'm bald because of it, and I can't really blame them, but as my good friend Prils likes to say "They can kick rocks with no socks".



I scored this BEAUTIFUL Jessica McClintock dress for my lil sis to wear to prom for an astounding $60. From Saks. I promise I'm not lying. I'm good at what I do and I'm not too shy to admit it. With my knack for discovering sales and coupons and my persuasive powers combined...I'm telling ya'll I'm a professional deal finder. You better holla at me.

I then went into my closet and found this dress I'd bought from H&M for like 20 bucks last Black Friday (my favorite day of the year) and decided I wanted to join her. I knew I'd find a reason to wear this dress. I truly think it says "I'm going to prom, but I'm not overdoing it cuz it's not my prom". Never pass on something you fall in love with if it's a good deal guys. It will come in handy someday. Oh yea, so I wouldn't feel so bad about being at my third prom at 24 years old I recruited my girl Alisha to join me (that's her in the background, hey String Bean!). We're thinking about making prom crashing an annual event.

I don't know that I've ever shared my love of rings with you guys, but I have a love of rings. I won't leave home without them. I feel like your hands are so visible and you use them so much during the day... they should be interesting to look at if you can help it. But what I have might be a problem. I've literally been locking my door to run to the corner store real quick and realized I'm not wearing any rings...and yes I do run my little ass back inside to get one or a few. I feel so naked without them :(. Anywho, meet the Adderbite Snake Ring. It's by far my favorite ring that I've ever purchased. It doesn't go well with many things, but I love it so much that I wear it with almost everything. Isn't it FANTASTIC?! It's a half size too big and I had to pay double the price (had to go through a NY company to get one shipped over from London), but it was worth every damn penny.

Lastly, here's my baby TAJ all grown up. He's getting neutered in two days. I just hope that he's my same energetic, super happy son when he comes home. Oh yea, I have to drop him off at like 8 in the morning and go back to get him around 3pm. I can't stand the idea of leaving him with strangers. I cried about it, but what must be done must be done. I just hope that he doesn't hate mommy forever for putting him through this :(

Welp, that's it for now ladies and germs. I think my next post will be about the newest shoes I've bought. I almost always take pics of my new shoes so I'm sure I have a few that I can share. Talk to you lovely folks soon ;)

Foodies Rejoice!

You'd have to be living under a rock to not know what Boston Restaurant Week is. I know that I am one of those people that waits patiently for that time of year to roll around. Well guess what? The wait is over! I never knew that different areas did their own versions of Restaurant Week here and there. I am so glad that I discovered that they do. The Dorchester-Milton Restaurant Week is following in the footsteps of what many Boston restaurants did last year and having their specials available for 2 weeks. From January 17th until the 31st you can enjoy prix fixe menus for $30.10 at reataurants such as 224, Ledge, and two places that I've been interested in going to since they first opened, Ahsmont Grille and Tavolo. There's no time to keep reading this, you have reservations to make. Click the link below for more info

I didn't know this before, but I'm surely going to make note of it now. F21 is surprising me, yet again, with the addition of Daily 21 Specials. Apparently every single day they're going to offer 21 items for 20% off. And once again the things that they have available aren't trashy leftovers. They have some good stuff in there, as seen above. Well if you're into those sorts of things. Check out the goods here:

Grouping: The Super Sale

IDEELI- Elaine Turner SPENCER in Buff, sale price $155

HAUTELOOK- Luca Couture Long Sleeve Button Down Dress, sale price $12.75

RUE LA LA- William Rast "Jherri" Handsand Ultra Skinny Leg Jean, sale price $89

It's my fault that you're about to have to suffer. I got caught up and now I have so much on my plate...it's all clogging up my brain and my inbox, so I had to sacrifice. Hopefully I've learned my lesson and will never again have to do this, but I'm about to do the biggest grouping in BeanHead history. lol. All the private shops are going to be in here in one big post. Actually it's not going to be that big, but I'm about to bring you deals from Ideeli, Hautelook, Rue La La and Gilt all in one sitting. And these are just my favorite sites. I'm going to introduce you guys to a few others soon, but just bear with me and these four for now. I've made the names of the sites purple to make things a tad bit easier to navigate and understand. Ideeli is now having the L.A.M.B./Ellen Tracy/ Elaine Turner sale I was bragging about before. In addition they also have sales for Sweet Bella, Badgley Mischka, Karoo, and a denim sale with great brands like Antik and Taverniti thrown in the bunch. Hautelook is going ALL OUT with its Luca Couture Blowout sale. Everything is under $25! Hautelook always has a million sales going on at the same time and right now is no exception. Emerge, Methven, and Elave are available for skin, Gucci and Wittnauer accessories, Raw 7 for men, Appaman for kids, Carla Mancini for the home...and the list goes on. They're also having a DEPT blowout sale that has super cute stuff for a good price. Rue La La is holding up good competition wise with GF Ferre Women's AND Men's on sale as well as William Rast and Lela Rose among others. Rounding out the bunch is Gilt which shouldn't be taken as least just because it's last. Gilt Fuse (which is targeted toward a younger and therefore broker population) is housing Free People, Unknown Factory, Jessica Elliot, and Shumaq sales. The more grown up and oft times pricier Gilt has Ferragamo watches, Cynthia Vincent shoes, and Rag and Bone in their line up. None of the Gilt sites allow you to right click and save pics so no free advertisement for them. Their loss. To see all these sales (and so much more) follow the links to great savings. As usual...holler at me if you need an invite :)
