MAC Archie's Girls Review!





















Hello lovely readers!

As I mentioned before, MAC Cosmetics released their Archie's Girls line last month, making my happy Archie-loving heart sing with joy! The collection went fast, with many of the products selling out within hours of the online release! I managed to grab myself a few of the goodies from the line.

The Archie's Girls collection pays homage to the lovely ladies Betty and Veronica from the classic Archie Comics series. Two very diffrent personalities, each character had their own range line of lipsticks, blushes, nail polishes, powders, and more. Betty is your bubbly and friendly girl next door, with her collection rconsisting of bubble gum pinks, peach, and humble corals. While Veronica is the more daring and sexier one of the two, with her collection made up of vampy reds, deep violets, and bold berries.

Both ladies are lovely, but having grown up on Archie Comics, I grew a never-ending love for Veronica. I felt I could relate to the racy brunnette alot more. And when MAC released the Veronica collection, I was so please with the results! When picking out my cosmetics, I found myself buying almost the whole Veronica line! While the Betty collection was just as amazing, I see alot of myself in the bold and beautiful Veronica!

DOPE▲OVERDOSE interviews SSS!





DOPEOVERDOSE.COM is a Street Life blog embracing the urban culture and style uprise throughout NYC and abroad. DOPE OD brings you the latest Street Wear fashions, music, technology and even beautiful ladies! Supporting both SSS and Street Wear line RIOTS & ROSES, DOPE OD got to know me in a recent interview. Troy Paraiso, D.O.D's editor in chief asked about my views on Valentine's Day, travel musts, and what's "So Sexy" about SSS!  

Troy Paraiso: Though you don't do much fashion modeling, you do support dope Streetwear brands like, Riots & Roses. What is it about Streetwear that attracts you?
SSS': Theres a lot of character behind Streetwear. Streetwear always has a story to tell along with a bond to the average joe, which happens to dress fresh to death. I love the passion most Streetwear designers pour into their work, while still honoring simplicity. Sometimes, you can even see the beautiful struggle behind a Streetwear brand. Starting from the bottom, and climbing to the top. A journey most of us can relate to.

Troy Paraiso: Tell me, what is it that makes Stephania Arenas, so sexy? Is it your smile, is it your eyes, or is it your seducing manner in your photos?
SSS': All of the above, lol! To be honest, Stephania Arenas isn't the sexy one, it's Stephie that's the one being SoSexy. StephieSoSexy loves to embrace her sexiest feature of all, her confidence. Confidence is the ultimate ingredient in sex appeal. SSS' also believes that self love is what truly brings all the boys to the yard, ;). There's no other belief that SSS' pushes harder.

New Layout: MonoWild v.11



Hello loves!

I've cooked up yet another look for my baby SSS blog! As the seasons change, so do my inspirations. I usually change my blog's look every 4 months or so. Inspired by the current atmosphere, I'll let my creativity manifest itself onto the look of my blog. The aesthetics of my site are VERY important to me, as I tend to be a perfectionist about it. I call my new look, MonoWild, a clean fusion of wild and monochrome.

Inspired by refreshing amplitude, I tried my best to maintain a convenient simplicity throughout my blog by  monochromatic and neutral tones, while keeping the interest with a touch of wild, tiger stripes. And last but not least, a hint of oxblood, a current obsession of mine.

The header image is a candid of me, photographed by my beau and edited by me. The entire layout, coding, photography (in blog posts) and graphics all throughout the site are all done by me. More info on the layout can be found to the right, on my "LAYOUT" sidebar.

Any inquiries, please feel free to contact me!

What do you guys think of my new look?

❤ SSS Valentine's Day Rescue! ❤




Luh-luh-LOVE is in the air! All over and everywhere! I am the ultimate sucker for all things LOVE. Nothing like lovers who indulge in each other's presence, essence, and embrace. Love will warm the coldest hearts, the lonliest souls, and can bring together masses of people. We have all experienced some sort of love, and most importantly fought to hold onto it. Wether the love survived or moved on, we can all relate to the beautiful life-zesting warmth that fills our hearts when in love. I am a true believer that there is no bigger power, nor bigger energy than LOVE, defeating even the darkest of forces. No place, no experience, no wealth, no THING can compare to the force and beauty of LOVE! And that there is such a beautiful and majestic existence...

Valentine's day celebrates love and lovers throughout the world! Everyday is a day for love, but Valentine's Day just makes the day a little bit sweeter. A day to embrace that special person that makes you feel like you're on top of the world. You don't need to spend mega bucks to honor your lover. Nor result to extravagance. You'd be surprised the impact thoughtfulness can have on your beau!. Mixed in with a little bit of effort and a dash of creativity, you got yourself the ultimate Valentine's Day gift!

SSS is here to help you put together the perfect gift for you beau! Affordable, thoughtful and bound to impress... Check out my Valentine's Day gift ideas!


MAC Presents "Archie's Girls"





If you've followed my blog long enough, or if you know me at all, you'll know about my obsession with Archie Comics. I nearly fell out of my seat when MAC Cosmetics announced their upcoming collaboration with Archie's Comics, releasing in 2013, a few months back.


Well, the day has arrived and the collection will be unleashed tomorrow January 30th, online! I am beyond excited for this collection! Having grown up reading Archie comics cover to cover, I've collected Archies throughout the years and have piled up quite a lot of Archie goodies! This collection will be a great addition to my Archie madness, although my wallet will have to forgive me!

Artist Sormeh Saei's "Double Take".






Art and music, two of life's beautiful delights. If you're not in love with one, you're in love with the other. And most of the time, in love with both. Artist Sormeh Saei brings these two pleasures together through her art work, creating a world where art embraces music, and music embraces art.


Sormeh Saei began the new year presenting her solo show, Double Take, exhibiting portraits of her most influential male musicians while growing up. Double Take features legends like Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Biggie, and more. Sormeh has had her worked admired by many of the artists she's starred in her paintings, as well as features in print, online and TV media. I've gotten to know Sormeh's artwork online, but seeing her work in person was an absolute pleasure! 


I had the chance to learned more about Sormeh's influences and interests after the show. Check out my interview with artist Sormeh Saei, as well as a few pieces from her exhibition Double Take!

SSS in Straight Stuntin Magazine!




Hey loves!
Your girl SSS has made an appearance in this month's issue of Straight Stuntin Magazine! HOT97 's DJ JUANYTO gave me an interview for the issue, touching upon what it is to be a Latina in NYC, an influencer, and the inspirations behind SSS Blog.


DJ: What made you get into blogging?

Writing in general has always played a big role throughout my life. I’d always keep various journals growing up, then once the internet took over my journals went from pen and paper to keyboard and screen. That’s when my blogging began. I first began blogging on a personal level, sort of like venting to cyberspace. Growing up, I kept my privacy to myself and began blogging about more general things in my life. Once I noticed my blogs effortlessly gather a large following, is when I took my blogging to another level... I began inspirational blogging. And here I am.



DJ: What influenced you into modeling?

Bills Bills Bills lol I began modeling when I started living on my own and paying rent, around age 20. Finances were tight. A friend of mine made extra cash by modeling and suggested I give it a shot. Once into it, my modeling was fluently successful. A year in, I was getting contacted by various publications and companies for work. All without an agent. I then took my modeling more serious when I saw it as a way to lure people into checking out my blog. Worked very well, actually.



DJ: Who would u like to work with in the near future? 

I would like to work with organizations that positively inspire upcoming female generations. Helping build confidence and self love into growing young ladies.

Hello my lovely readers!

It's time for some of Stephie's Selects! 
Last week's Stephie Selects starred my Andy Warhol Campbell Soup Series. As much as I love my Warhol soup cans, they are pretty hard to find... making it difficult for my readers to come across them.
