Ladies, how do we feel about flatforms?

I've tried to bring myself to buying my first pair of flatforms and I just couldn't do it. I think I hate them more than I love them or, I just haven't found a pair that I absolutely love! Let me know what you guys think about this style of shoe.

You Can Get It by Yung Dez 108

Get the Look

Every week or so I'm going to take the look of one celebrity and make it my own. Showing you ladies that you don't have to spend a lot to look like a celeb. Here I am doing a very simple look of Amber Rose. All the items I'm wearing in this outfit are affordable & I'm sure you guys can find similar items if not the same.

To get the "Amber Rose" look I wore:
A black turban that I made from a scarf
Vintage inspired earrings (XXI)
Chunky statement piece necklace (H&M)
Random bracelets (XXI)
Basic tank (H&M)
Oversized clutch (H&M)
Cut off shorts (Thrifted)
Suspender tights (HOH)
Brown platform wedges (Steve Madden)

If you have a certain person who's look you would like for me to cover; leave a comment or tweet me on twitter @_BrassCupcake.

Self confidence

Self confidence doesn't always mean being confident in your looks, it also means having confidence in what you do. Believing in yourself. No man or woman can get to far in life without believing in themselves. With self confidence comes success, & the company of successful people.


“One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation.”

“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”

The Corleone

How sexy is this shoe?!! You never know what to expect from Jeffrey Campbell.

The perfect items and colors for color blocking this spring

This spring is all about bright neon colors and also pretty pastels. I know not everyone is comfortable with color blocking with all bright colors so try pairing some of your bright colors with a nude/neutral piece. Nude can tone down any bright color. Or if your wardrobe is bright wear nude accessories. Nude shoes and a nude bag would look great with your bright colors this spring.
