Why Did DHL Try To Play ME Last Weekend?!

It's been a while, but I'm back and I'm better!

A lot has happened since I've been away. I've been dealing with a couple of things this year but I decided to get back into my blogging flow.

Let me tell you guys how DHL tried to play me last weekend. A good friend of mine got married last weekend and decided that she wanted her wedding to be an all white affair. I originally ordered a dress from forever 21, but when it arrived I hated it.

That night I shopped around for a new dress and decided to order one from Misguided. I ordered the dress on Friday and paid for EXPRESS SHIPPING. The delivery was set for that Tuesday August 1st... I have yet to receive the dress.

I cannot begin to explain how furious I am with DHL. Would you believe that the delivery man had the nerve to say that he delivered the package? WHERE?!

#Stress

Though I couldn't wear the dress that I wanted - I searched the back of my closet and conveniently found an alternative. Please note I originally had no intention of wearing that dress, I actually meant to give it away a month ago.

Saturday:

The big day arrived, I reluctantly put on my white dress and arrived at the church ON TIME - which is a miracle for me because I'm always late. Of course, my car decided to act up at the last minute, so I hopped in that good Ol Uber and flew to the church. All in all, the ceremony was great!

I managed to snap a few pics at the end of the ceremony. Ladies and Gentlemen introducing:

Mrs. Bunting!!

Isn't she beautiful!

Check out a few pics below.

POSE FOR THE CAMERA NOW, FLICK FLICK!

Dress: One of the stores in Kings Plaza Mall
Clutch: Forever 21
Shoes: Lola Shoetique

Accompanied by my sexy co workers Nitza and Marly :)

The wedding was the highlight of my Saturday despite my dress drama. Once again, congratulations to Jaqueena on your wonderful wedding day!

Sunday:

My girls and I finally decided to see Girl's Trip. If you haven't seen that movie you need to go ... immediately! We planned on viewing a 2:30 PM screening, but because I was late we ended up catching the 3:30.

Being late had its perks - because I was late we were able to enjoy Happy Hour at a near by bar named GINGER'S.

For some reason, I don't have many pictures from our outing, but there's a wonderful little video below. Let's just say Sunday was a good day.

On that note, there are 42 days of Summer left...

Let the turn up begin!

Love,

Would you stay with a cheater?

You just found out that your partner has been cheating on you. What's your first move? Before you start chucking shit out of the window and setting things ablaze...what is cheating?

According to our good friends at Urban Dictionary, cheating can be described as:

Someone who is in a committed relationship and breaks the trust of his or her partner by getting physically or emotionally involved with another person. Common forms of cheating include kissing, feeling each other up, vaginal, anal, oral sex and any other contact that involves the lips, hands, and genitals.

The real question is, do you stay with a man or woman if they've cheated on you?

Humm??

Now you may or may not agree the above quote, and me but I believe there are two forms of cheating: Physical & emotional.

Physical cheating is self-explanatory. The person has been involved physically with someone else. The most common "excuse" with physical cheating is "It didn't mean anything" or "It was a mistake" - right, because falling into another woman's vagina is totally normal. C'mon. really?

Emotional cheating is an affair between two people that mimic the closeness and emotional intimacy of a relationship while never being physical.

This may sound crazy, but I think emotional cheating is 10 times worse than a physical act. Yes, it sucks that your partner may have had intercourse with someone else, but imagine if they were telling the person they're cheating with their deepest desires and secrets...shit that technically you're only supposed to know.

Common thoughts that arise with being cheated on are -

"I've already invested so much so I can't leave him/her."

People tend to blame themselves, or refuse to leave because they don't want to be a quitter. Which doesn't make sense to me because technically the person you're dating gave up on the relationship by stepping out on you in the first place...trifling.

Majority of the time cheaters cheat because they know they can.

If your partner knows that you know they're cheating on you and you're still sticking around why would they stop cheating? It's the best of both worlds! They can lay up with whomever and go home to you and your kids at the end of the day.

That's fair...right?

Ladies, if you take anything away from this post let it be this.

You teach a man how to treat you.

1. You do that by respecting yourself, and demanding that he does the same.

2. You don't put up with his shit because at the end of the day you know that you don't deserve it.

3. You don't refer to yourself as a "bad bitch" that nonsense has TO GO. There is no way in hell a respectable man is going to take you seriously if that is how you refer to yourself. Stop.

Being cheated on is a test of your self worth. If you decide to sit around and take it, try to clean up the cheating fiasco, doubt yourself and your worth..."did I do enough for him? I didn't cook enough. Did I take care of him properly? You'll drive yourself crazy. What should be saying is

"Was he doing enough? Is it worth all the pain and drama?"

Sweetie, cut your loses and show him what he's lost.

They never know what they have until it's gone. The moment you cut them loose they come crawling back with their tail in between their legs. Once they realize you're no longer interested in whatever sad excuse they have to offer, that's when the water works start. Well they can cry you a river because that ship sailed a long time ago. They weren't thinking about the consequences of their stupidity when they slept with their hoe... were they? NOPE.

Fellas, if you take anything away from this post let it be this.

You can't turn a THOT into a housewife. Thots will be thots!

1. Honestly, do you think a woman who posts videos like this wouldn't cheat on you?

2. Women who lack self-respect cannot be expected to remain faithful in a relationship.

3. When you date women who have nothing else to offer besides this, then you're to blame. You know better.

It's one thing to find out that you've been cheated on... but you when find out that other people knew before you, that's a problem. It's not just the hurt and pain of the cheating ...it's the public embarrassment that comes with it.

Everyone knows about your drama. That is the absolute worst.

So what's the verdict? Would you stay with your partner if they cheated on you?

Sound off in the comments.

If the shoe fits, buy it in every color!

Ladies, ladies, ladies!

Before we get started, let me just say, "Yes I'm a shoeaholic, No, I don't need help." Seriously..I have a problem. During the last unfortunate months of winter I began my annual pre spring tradition. Shoe stacking!! I search the web for cute shoes at a decent price. There are certain sites that I visit frequently such as Necessary Clothing & Go Jane but I wanted something new. Why? Because, one of my biggest pet peeves is seeing women in shoes that I own so I looked else where. On one fateful day I stumbled across a shoetique on Instagram... & let me tell you... that was a glorious day! Not only are their shoes super cute they're relatively inexpensive!

Pay a little visit to the Steve Madden website. I guarantee you will find a great looking pair of heels. Then you peep the price and you realize the shoes are cute ...but they're not THAT cute. Now, imagine if you could find a similar shoe for a fraction of the price... ugh sounds good to me! Now I know I said previously I hate seeing women with my shoes, but what woman doesn't? Luckily, today I'm in a sharing mood. Spring time is here and we can definitely all stunt together.

Great! Now lets talk about the shoes! Lolashoetique is a shoe retailer based in the United States. Unfortunately, they're located exclusively in California. Hopefully they branch out to New York SOON.. I swear my shoe life would be complete if they did... Lord knows. The good thing is they ship worldwide. I'm sure the shipping cost varies depending on which state/country you live in. But for us New York girls, it's a solid $8.00 & they use UPS. THANK GOD, because you know that the US Post Office does way too much and they're always losing something..always.

Tracking the order is super easy, plus you constantly get updates about the status of your package.

I must say Miss Lola's packing skills are pretty amazing. The shoes come enclosed in 4 layers of packaging. Here is what the package looks like when it arrives.

The best part about the initial package besides the shoes, are the pink shoe bags. Though, I am not a huge fan of pink I absolutely love these shoe bags. If you have a shoe closet and don't necessarily need the bags you could always use them for something else. They're way too cute to throw away.

Each package includes these cards. The thank you card is filled with return and exchange information. The other, contains their social media information. I love that shoe-a-holic card!

Underneath all the beautiful wrapping you will find what ever sexy ass shoe you ordered in a clear plastic bag.

BOOM! POW! WATCH OUT NOW! THERE THEY GO IN ALL THEIR NEON YELLOW GLORY!

These beauties are called "Kimmie" I believe they were $45.00. Unfortunately they are out of stock. If you're interested in them you will have to monitor the website and wait for them to be restocked. The shoes move pretty quickly so you'll have to STALK them down. They came in Neon Yellow, Neon Pink, Nude, and Black,

I have ordered about 7 pairs of shoes in counting! Yes, seven! You can check them out below along with the names and prices of each shoe. I will include a link if the shoe is still available.

Shoe sizes vary depending on the shoe. The general sizes are 5-11, and yes ladies they have half sizes. Depending the shoe you may be able to find for example a 9.5. However, every shoe on the site may not offer half sizes, that goes for size 11 as well. Not all shoes come in all sizes. As for the width, there are no specifications. However, before you purchase be sure to read the SIZE GUIDE which is located above the size chart. Some shoes are true to size others you may need to buy a half size up, you can find that information in the SIZE GUI|DE.

Happy Shopping!!

Striking Reveal - $39.00 Aren't these amazing?! The quality of the shoes is pretty good. I love the mesh front and the cute peep toe. Interestingly enough, the material is man made. They look great, but I wouldn't recommend wearing them for long periods of time. Peep toes can be killer... I'm sure I don't have to tell you guys that though. No pain no gain! These are definitely the straight from the car to the restaurant shoes lol, no extra walking!

PS. The dress is from JC Penny.

Making Moves - $31.99 Platforms at their finest. These shoes include cushioned insoles, a comfortable over the toes strap as well as an ankle strap. The heel is 5inches but they're surprisingly comfortable. Please excuse the toe marks! I wear these shoes all the time. At the moment Lola only has them in black, but when all of the colors are in stock you can chose from Black, Wine, Red and Hot Pink.

Neville - $34.99 Who doesn't love a floral shoe?! These are my absolute favorite, they are extremely comfortable and durable. These shoes can be worn for long periods of time without that annoying pinching toe feeling. For open toed shoes, you have to make sure you purchase a comfortable pair. I'm all about that bandaid toe life but obviously you can't do that with this type of shoe. If you're into floral shoes then I would definitely recommend a pair like Neville. Unfortunately, they are currently out of stock on the website. They've been up there for a while so I'm not sure if they will be restocked any time soon. Luckily, there are a bunch of different floral shoes on the site. One pair that is very similar to these is called Weekend Guide.

Jeans - Necessary Clothing

Shirt - Forever 21

Bangles - Forever 21

Chic Aesthetics - $39.99 I guess these are a hit or miss. Some people love them, some people hate them, I just happen to be obsessed with them. First and foremost, they're coral which is a huge spring trend, and they include those gold buckles! Who doesn't love gold?! This pair is no longer available, but they MIGHT come back in stock. Like I said earlier if you see a shoe in this post that you're interested in purchasing but it is no longer available, you must constantly monitor the site. They always add new shoes and there's always a sale happening. These shoes were available in coral, nude, and black.

Naya (Aqua) - $26.99 I know single sole shoes aren't for everyone and thats fine, but how could you say no to such an electric color...humm?? Initially I planned on only ordering this shoe in the mint color that you will see below, but a good friend of mine talked me into ordering both. Thanks Brianna! I absolutley love this shoe. It's chic simplicity will liven up any and every outfit! I can't wait to color block with these babies! The material is man made (that goes for all of their shoes) Naya isn't suede but it feels similar. They're only $26.99! They are currently in stock so move quickly! Naya comes in Black, Nude, Aqua, Bubble Gum, Yellow, Silver, and Champagne.

Naya (Mint) $26.99 - Sadly, this color is no longer available. As listed above you can find them in a variety of different colors. Love love love these shoes! The toe strap is comfortable and reliable. No toes slippage over here. These shoes can be styled with everything, formal wear, distressed jeans, etc. They include a cushioned insole, and an adjustable ankle strap. The heel is 4.5 inches & as far as I'm concerned they are true to size. Again, please excuse the toe marks!

Hands down Lola Shoetique is one of the best shoe websites I've ever ordered from. The quality of their shoes is pretty great for the price. I mean, what more could you possibly ask for? You get to walk around looking like a million bucks in $40 shoes. Uhh Hello! Wake up and smell the deal ladies! This Shoetique is growing in clientele, as it should. Due to their quick deliveries and easy exchange/return process their customers should have no reason to complain. I can honestly say I am a Lola Shoetique lover for LIFE.

I will update you guys with purchases as well as when some of the shoes in this post are back in stock, so be on the lookout!
