eyeInspire: Let God Breakthrough

"…the Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like the bursting out of great waters…" - 2 Samuel 5:20, AMP

God wants to give you a breakthrough—a sudden burst of His favor; an explosion of His goodness. He wants to release His power in such a way that it overwhelms you and drives out your enemies!

Maybe you’ve been praying about a relationship for years, and suddenly, things get into place. That’s a breakthrough. Or you were trying to get a certain job. They said there were no openings; but suddenly, they call you back and you get the job. That’s another breakthrough. Perhaps you’ve struggled with an addiction for a long time, but then something happens and it’s not a struggle anymore. Those are all breakthroughs.

No matter what you’ve been facing, no matter how impossible things look, know this: the God of the breakthrough wants to visit your house. Get ready! Look for His favor and goodness. Remember, God rewards the people who seek after Him. So keep expecting and keep believing, because the God of the breakthrough is ready to overwhelm you with His goodness!

Walking Retro

Finding the right pair of shoes can be one of the hardest things a woman has to do. We have to worry about the style, color, price, and not to mention that open/peep-toe (which means pedicure) and duhn-duhn-duhhhhh...that heel! But high heels aren't the only way you can look cute and have guys think you look sexy; why not go retro and try something with a low or no, heel? This is where Mod Cloth, one of my favorite "Retro Indie" clothing sites comes in handy. They have a bunch of stuff that is cool, retro and vintage. I love how high heels look and elongate, but if you can't walk in them, then it defeats the purpose. So here are some not too high heels that you may like that are affordable and will be sure to add some pzazz to your wardrobe. Happy shopping!

Fashion Is Art Wedge $163.99 - Though some refuse to believe it, we know it's true - fashion is a form of art. These wild wedges from Jeffrey Campbell are here to prove it! Slashed with a bold, black and white pattern evocative of popular 80's graffiti art, and bottomed by a wedge of imbricated silver discs whose shiny surface reflects the world around them, these impact-making leather peep toes are ready to turn your world into an aesthetic wonderland. Close their zipper around your inner ankle, and pair them with form-hugging leggings, a geometric print dress, and angular sunglasses for a look that's a pure masterpiece! And they go up to size 11 for the ladies that need it ;)

Easy Being Green $39.99 - Put some spring in your step with these fresh, vegan-friendly, fashionably heeled sandals! Featuring a flirty peep toe and sassy ankle buckle, these captivating, lime-colored shoes add instant moxie to all your spring ensembles. We suggest pairing them with high-waisted shorts and a short sleeve blouse for an outstanding outfit!

Glamorous Geology $69.99 - These heels look as though they were mined, cut, and buffed just for your feet! Precious turquoise-hued material arches sharply on either side of this shoe's vamp, while super shiny acanthite-colored material, with a cracked design resembling a mosaic, twists and bends from the heel cap to the toe. Lead grey laces fasten up the shoe, ensuring you'll be able to step securely in the wood-like stacked heel. Wear these with a silvery dress, rhinestone jewelry, and a rockin' headband for a look of elemental glamour.

Cuneiform Boot $127.99 - Lace up these striking booties by Industry, and take a walk through a lost civilization. The leather upper features faux snakeskin panels printed with onyx geometric shapes set against a sand backdrop, and might even inspire you to take up ancient Sumerian writing. A tiered ankle strap cascades toward the exposed heel, while thick laces lead down to the open toe. Wear these bold shoes with a black mini dress and sheer stockings, or khaki capris and an oversized tee. Read the archaic writing on the wall - these booties will never go out of 'stylus!'

What do you think about the these shoes?

eyeYeyeYeye: All My Single Babies

A video performance of the infamous Beyoncé track "Single Ladies" has been circuiting the Internet for the past couple of days. It's made its way onto news channels and has people talking! But what's the big fuss about? This isn't just your average "Single Ladies" performance, no, it's one by a group of 7-year-old girls and some provocative outfits and some dance moves that are a little too sexy for seven. There is so much that can be said on this topic, like are children growing up too fast, why did the parents approve this, is Beyoncé to blame, etc. but I'll let you view the video and leave your opinion in a comment. Happy watching!

To Parlé or Not To Parlé

It's a privilege, not a right, to be able to do what you love for a living. Some people are blessed with so much talent, yet confined by 4x4 cubicles or behind a register. When you have drive and dedication there is no telling what one can do. You never know, you may end up on a country wide tour. And that is exactly what poets Marcus Wright and Kesed have been doing over the past few years with the Parlé Poetry Tour.

I expected that their performance at the Fordham College at Lincoln Center (on Wednesday, April 21, 2010) would be a good one. I was excited to listen and watch these artist perform their work, and do what they love. And to no surprise, I was not disappointed. I enjoyed every moment of the show. Not only did the poets display their work, but they incorporated everyone in the show by talking and vibing with the audience. When the show was over, I had the pleasure of meeting the poets of Parlé. Here's what we talked about...

How did you get started with poetry?
Marcus Wright: People started to ask me about my feelings. I wanted to say things but I couldn't conventionally communicate.
Kesed: I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters so growing up I didn't get attention. I began writing and in fourth grade, my writing began to improve. I didn't start performing until I was 16.

What allows you to create?
Marcus Wright: I like to get away...create my own place, and think the way people don't want me to think.
Kesed: Life. Living freely. Not being prohibited. An artist is given the right to create their own reality.

If you could compare poetry to anything, what would it be?
Marcus Wright: Love. I try to put love in everything. Love hurts sometimes; it makes you happy, and sometimes it doesn't make sense.
Kesed: Life. That's what it is. Like a subway train with different people, poetry is a glimpse into someone's life.



If you weren't performing poetry, would you rap?
Marcus Wright: I don't like the term "rap". I would talk my life and perform short stories. Rappers are plastic.
Kesed: I would rap, but It would be uplifting. I'm not into selling candy cuz' that'll give you diabetes, but I'm not into selling broccoli either. Maybe broccoli with cheese. I don't want people to die from the stuff I'm giving them, so I want to provide a healthy medium.


Kesed, Eye see that you're pretty artistic, How has art inspired you?
Kesed: I'm attracted to eccentric things. Art continues to push different levels of consciousness. Art inspires evolution and evolution inspires art.


What are 6 things you LOVE?
Kesed:
- Love
- Women
- Baby sister
- Mother
-Family
- Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding

What are 2 Things you LIVE for?
Marcus Wright: The Advancement of African American people and making art known to the world.

What are 5 Things that INSPIRE you?
Kesed: Water because it can take any form, gentle or rough.
Kesed: Nature, in humans. I'm amazed by creativity and stupidity. Sometimes you have to do something stupid to get something creative.
Marcus: Everything I see, that's why I really feel [bad] for blind people.
Marcus: People who have thoughts and don't speak their mind.
Marcus: Parlé


So why should we Parlé with you?
Kessed: I cant answer that. It's like the matrix, you gotta see what it is and then you'll know, and make your decision... I mean I could tell you, but you couldn't believe me.
Marcus: It's an experience and sound that you've never heard and you can't find it anywhere.


I also had the chance to meet with Kevin, the man who began the Parlé Poetry movement. Not only does he work with the Poetry Tour, but he also publishes a print magazine. If you're ready to Parlé, here's how

HAUTE or Hate It: The Simmons Sisters

Here's Vanessa and Angela Simmons, along with a member of their Pastry shoe team. They're at the MAGIC fashion trade show in Las Vegas, NV. The show's pretty much the TOP industry trade show. All the top notch people in fashion go there to show their designs and share their ideas about where they think the fashion industry is headed. So, my question to you is do you think that their outfits work? Vanessa is rocking leggings, flats, a button up and a jean vest. It's pretty simple. And let's not forget to mention the Rihannaesque hairdo. Angela looks a little more edgy with the distressed jeans. I'm not too sure how I feel about the purple sneakers, though. What do you think??

The Groundwork

How does an architect work without a blueprint? He doesn't. Without the plan, the plan fails; and the same goes for any craftsman. To be successful, one must lay down the foundation, the basis, "The Groundwork". This Sunday, May 16th, RSNY Music Group artist G-Swagger is doing just that with the release of The Ground Work Volume 2. The mixtape release party is going down at:

1834 Bar & Burger
62 Pearl St.
Between Broadway St. & Williams St.

If you're in the NYC area on Sunday this will definitely be a great event to network and support RSNY. There is NO COVER, that means it is free...another reason for you to be there!

Jordans All Grown Up

The Jordan Brand is expanding into the casual market. The upcoming model, the Jordan Grown, features canvas and denim with a vulcanized midsole, and a mudguard similar to an AirMax90. The highlight, however, comes in the form of a never-before-seen Jordan elephant print tread on the gum sole. This shoe is set to drop in July.
