I will not scuff my shoes. I will not scuff my shoes. Nobody likes scuffed kicks, especially your new Back to School kicks! It’s been some years since us ladies here at M.I.S.S. have done some B2S shopping but we certainly understand the importance of looking sharp on your first day back! Keeping the kit tight goes from head to toe and everything in between . . . umhmmm, nails did!  With this mani we put all your B2S supplies at your finger tips . . . yes, pun totally intended. “With an apple for my teacher ’cause I knew I’d get a kiss…”

*Song Lyrics from The Pharcyde “Passin Me By”

NEWS FLASH! The International Council of Style and Trend Forecasting (ICSTF) has just released a MAJOR trend for A/W 2008. The Council has reported that this Fall (and EVERY Fall Season for infinity and beyond), Animal prints will play a major influence. Eeeeeeeee!!!!!! We are shocked and so excited that we finally have a Fall season in which we can rock our animal prints without being laughed at for thinking so far out of the box. THANK-YOU!

Yes, this is a bit of a mockery. We get a good laugh at how every Fall season, animal print is treated like it’s the next big thing. Really, when isn’t it hot? Who doesn’t love some animal print all year around? Shooooooot. We here at M.I.S.S. love us some animal print, we even like to rock them all at once sometimes, hell, why not? A little or a lot what’s not to love. . . those critters in the jungle were on to something long before the concept of fashion existed. Just know that you really can’t go wrong with a little “animal” in your wardrobe (snake, leopard, zebra . . . ). Now, how you rock it is another story and includes a consulting fee, that can be discussed if needed . . . get at us.

Summer, Summer, Summertiiiiiiiiiime! Introducing M.I.S.S. July, the Upper Playground Adidas Superstar BBQ. Part of the 35th Anniversary Expression Series, what doesn’t say Summer more than a BBQ! So you know we had to hook up some finger lick’n nails…all the necessities for your ‘Q: Hot Dogs, Chips ‘n Dip (please believe those are real chips and French onion dip, we certainly don’t play, especially when it comes to nails…and food!), Drank, Hamburger on a Sesame seed bun, and some watermelon! Just thinking of summer and bbq’s brings to mind a certain back ‘n the day song…and so we leave you with this…

Yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
Cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
The temperatures about 88
Hop in the water plug just for old times sake
Break to ya crib change your clothes once more
Cause you’re invited to a barbecue that’s starting at 4
Sitting with your friends cause y’all reminisces
About the days growing up and the first person you kiss
And as I think back makes me wonder how
The smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia*

*All song Lyrics from “Summertime” by Will Smith…Duh!

Last week in Vegas I got to catch up with some lovely ladies who had their nails did. Here’s a glimpse of my favorites. Sorry some of them are blurry - everything was happening so fast and I didn’t have time to change lenses!
