Not really sure why, but I want this. Maybe it’s because it’s made by Rebecca Minkoff. That’s more than likely the reason why, right?! She makes me want to buy

A Keurig Coffee Machine is What I Need
I need a new coffee maker. Seriously. Black & Decker just isn’t cutting it for me anymore.
Know what Rena wants? A Keurig!
It quite possibly may be time for me to use my words and bat some eyelashes! Well, that is, if I did that sort of girly maneuver, which I don’t! I would never!
What if, for all intensive purposes, there is someone out there (I won’t mention any names) that this technique could persuade them to purchase a Keurig for me, them or perhaps us? Could this person be reading this post? Is it making him or her think about the deliciousness of dark roast coffee or a mug of hot cocoa filled with marshmallows? Just curious. Maybe you want some iced tea…who knows?! It has lots of benefits for many people lol all I want to do is be a good friend…you know me!
This is starting to sound (read) like an advertisement…..totally didn’t intend for that to happen! Someone should write the Keurig company and tell them I’m selling the shhhh out of their coffee machine thingy! They should just send me one….let me test it or umm I don’t know, have it forever!
Tis not a lot to wish for.

Tassel
Tassel me, baby!
They’re in, they’re hot, they’re everywhere and I’m down for the cause! Tassels are literally popping up on EVERYTHING!
(BEE TEE DUB/BTW….. I did sing/rap that, out loud, in the bed, in front of the laptop with my cat laying next to me.) That is more than likely a sign I’m sleep deprived but that’s neither here nor there!
Moving right along…..
Let’s see some tassels!!
Smartphone tassel charm….you are currently in my shopping cart! For $28 by Cara Accessories, there’s nothing more chic and affordable! It seriously looks like it costs over 100 bucks, easily!

Did someone say booty? I.am.in.absolute.love.with.these.booties. Ahhh Cole Haan why must you do these things to me?! I’m not ready to spend $400 on shoes this year so I showed these to my mom…the conversation went like this: Ooooh those are cute! I like them, they’re only $400!! Oh really mother? So you’re saying I can have them? No, I’m saying they’re cute.

ALL of the Coach fall line needs to be in my closet! Everything has a tassel and everything is gorgeous! When I first saw the soon-to-be fall line via my favorite site in the whole wide world… (PurseBlog) I was not so amazed but NOW…I want it all! Literally, the entire site could be posted right here but I’ll just post a few faves…check out the rest at Coach.com
Bobbles! These Michael Kors Earrings….perfect for day or night wear! Personally, if I wore these, it would be the only piece of jewelry I’d wear from the neck up….just so they pop!
Tassel Drop $125
The look of perfection! Fall season…let’s go! I’d pair these with denim shorts since it’s not quite cool enough for long jeans just yet.
$158
Here’s a peasant flowy top $146 by Karen Kane. I’ve never worn this designer before so I’m not too sure how it would fit. It’s also fun finding new designers for curvy girls! Gives us more options and plenty of things to look forward to in the future.
Oh, hello there Jeffrey Campbell! How cute are these?! The “Gabi” flat with tassels on the back….I’m sold!
$124 at Nordstrom
If seeing all those swinging tassels didn’t make you want something with a tassel…I’m so beyond sorry. You’re going to have to get use to something hanging on you…it’s provocative. Well, that’s all folks!! Not that it was only a little bit! It was tons of tassels for your tempted eyes! Say that tongue twister five times fast! Happy shopping!

Say Yes to McQueen: Alexander McQueen
McYES to McQueen!!
Chances are, if you know me, you know how much I love Alexander McQueen! I adore how Sarah Burton has taken the line and made it more than my dreams can handle! Today my dreams were even more blasted by a tweet sent out earlier…

I need THIS in my life!

Or…..maybe you can get it for me? š
Me, Myself, and the Ikea Catalog
Guess what came in the mail last week……
No, seriously….guess!
Don’t give up!
You can do it!
Ok, here’s a hint…it starts with “IKEA” and ends in “Catalog”!
Hmm….that was maybe more than a hint lol!
Anywho…
I’m happy because I need more stuff in my apartment. Well, not really but I DO need more things to keep the stuff I already have organized.
Hypothetically speaking, if you were out of closet space, drawer space and underneath stuff space because you shopped too much….what could you buy to remedy this situation?! Uh, I mean, hypothetical situation.
I’m gonna look at every page in this book thingy til I find a solution to
said hypothetical situation. Think I’ll have some luck in the “closet organization” section.

None other than the beautiful Janelle Monae!! Can it get any better?! I don’t think so! I love that Cover Girl chose someone who steps outside of the fashion box to represent their company!
Check out more of Janelle Monae via the Cover Girl Pinterest account.
Loves it!
Leap of Faith
Just want to start off by saying….. THANK YOU!
I never really thought I’d be back blogging again especially having a fashion blog with a dot com address!! Friends and family were all pushing for me to do it and after many nights of contemplation I took the leap of faith and just did it. So happy that I did!
It’s only been 14 days since the site has been live but it feels like a lifetime with all the support you guys have given me. I’m sure there’ll be extraordinary days of bliss, a couple plateaus and maybe even some down days (hopefully not lol) but that’s all a part of starting something new. Just gotta keep pushing and stay positive.
So, to continue on this positive path, I decided to take another leap of faith and make a Twitter account for Curves and Coffee!!!! Amazing, right?! Mostly out of respect for my friends on my personal account, I don’t want to fill timelines ALL DAY with links to my blog posts….maybe just once a day for you guys!
To all my friends, family and the wonderful strangers that make me smile behind this keyboard everyday…. THANK YOU!
Now go to Twitter and follow Curves and Coffee.…enough of the mushy stuff you little sap trees!!!
Kisses & Love
