I was born with DIAMONDS in my eyes. As a little girl, every summer I was shipped off to Alabama to spend the summer with my grandmother. You would not catch me outside playing in red clay dirt. Instead, you would find me in my grandmother’s boudoir piling on all the costume jewelry my arms and neck would fit. After being weigh down with precious stones and metals lol, I would lay across my grandmothers' huge bed smiling while staring at the ceiling daydreaming. Those were the good ole days. Fast forward to ADULTHOOD! My love for diamonds and the size of my paycheck are in negotiations right now. Being that I am “FINANCIALLY CHALLENGED” I have upgraded from costume jewelry to FAUX DIAMONDS. With years of fashion experience, marketing and plain common sense, I have mastered the art of LUXURY DIAMOND REPLICAS.

I must admit that I do not follow sports like the most women. I know just enough to get me by. Go ahead, ask me? What sport does he play? How handsome is he? and How much is his contract? All the rest is irrelevant. LOL But seriously, all jokes aside Denver Nugget Small Forward LEBRON KING JAMES is only twenty-five years old and is one of the most sought after basket ball players in the NBA. I recently saw a Nike billboard that read "we are all witnesses" with King James arms stretched out. My interpretation....the world is my oyster, watch me as I discover it.
LeBron KING James
What I am about to say may sounds strange to a few of my friends reading this. Ok, here I go. My name is KAHLUA and I'M LUX-O-HOLIC. You see, I have this weird beauty obsession with LeBron King James High School Sweetheart, SAVANNAH BRINSON. She is so beautiful. Her skin is smooth and flawless. Savannah is not an NBA girlfriend you see in all the gossip magazines. She is a very sweet, private person. But BABY! when girlfriend hits the Red Carpet, she is FIERCE! With her beau in hand, Savannah's makeup styles is always clean, feminine and pretty. I know this is suppose to be all about Savannah, but we CAN NOT overlook how HANDSOME her man is. Look, hands down, LeBron fashion style is SO SEXY! (clearing my throat) LeBron sense of style is great! LOL

Ok, so now that we have the basics out the way. Let us turn our focus to theQUEEN, Savannah Brinson.Savannah 24, and Lebron James are High School Sweethearts. They have two children together, LeBron James Jr. and Bryce Maximus James. The couple have been under media scrutiny to explain their UNMARRIED STATUS. Neither seemed to be bothered by media catchphrases such as NBA WIFEY, LEBRONS' BABY MAMA. "I'm the mother of his children, I'm not a Baby Mama. There's alot more to than that."
Savannah's recent photoshoot and interview with
Harper's Bazaar Magazinegave me a little insight on her highly publicised relationship with LeBron, aggressive Miami Groupies and her sense of style. Coming from a small town in Akron, Ohio, Savannah Brinson has vacationed in Miami but never thought it would one day be
"HOME COURT". Moving to Miami, she says "It will definitely be an adjustment. Whatever LeBron felt was comfortable, I'm with him. I just love him so much. We're soul mates." I hope Savannah does not let the pressure of all this NBA HYPE ruin their relationship. Women are going to be all over him. However, she proudly defends her partnership by say "I'm not worried. We're good. Our relationship is good."Savannah goes on to say that it's their HONESTY with each other that has keep the relationship intact.
LeBron, who says he's the type of person that always needs a sidekick describes Savannah as "A person you can rely on no matter the circumstances. And she's that. She's got my back and I love her for that." I could be reading way too much into this, but why do you have to be referred to as aSIDEKICK?What ever works for them. Savannah's mother who was on the sideline ear hustling during the interview made a comment, "Don't you think he knows the difference between RUTHLESSNESS AND LOVE? If LeBron was going to do something Shady, he can do that around the corner. He doesn't have to go to Miami.". Mama what planet are you from? We see break ups like these all the time in HOLLYWOOD.
Why?
Becausemen are getting CONFUSED with the difference betweenRUTHLESSNESS AND LOVE .
OMG! I am so excited to be following Savannah's makeup style.I think she is going to be a TREND SETTER. Maybe not among the BOUGIE NBA WIVES but definitely with us "common folks". I wonder if she has a TWITTER account? Savannah, if you so happen to come across this blog I want to let you know that you have got a FAN BASE brewing.
The few people that have gotten a chance to speak candidly with Savannah Brinson has said that she is a sweet, private person. The soft spoken small town native girl from Akron, Ohio is slowly adjusting to life in South Beach, Miami. She is not your typical NBA Housewife. Savannah helps run The LeBron James Family Foundation, Co-Designer in her own children's furniture collection and Founder of the Girl's Empowerment Charity called Girl Listen.
Interview with Harper's Bazaar Magazine
SAVANNAH'S THOUGHTS ON MOVING TO MIAMI
“Personally, Miami was not my favorite place. Vacationing there is great: You go for three days and get some sun, and it’s time to go home,” she explains. But the weather helped win her over. “When they told me it doesn’t get any colder than 50 degrees, that sold me. We get below-zero weather in Cleveland. … I can’t wait to have a sunny Christmas,” she says. “It will definitely be an adjustment, but we’ll make it. We’re not complaining.”"Whatever LeBron felt was comfortable, I’m with him,” she continues. “I just love him so much. We’re soul mates.”
SAVANNAH'S TAKE ON FASHION
"Fashion is LeBron's thing".
“I’m five foot seven and I have a tall guy [James is six foot eight], so I like a good heel,” she says. “I don’t want to look like a shrimp standing next to him.”
