I know it's been a long time coming. Sorry peeps. Check out part II of my in-depth interview with Basketball Wives' Evelyn Lozada:
Let's talk style. You are definitely on my watch for style- the clothes, the bags, and especially the shoes. Are you one who mixes it up, high and low brand or are you strictly a designers kind of gal? Who would you regard as some of your favorite designers?
Contrary to popular belief, I definitely mix it up. Some of my favorite designers are Diane Von Furstenberg, Nanette Lepore, Alexander Wang, Wayne Lee for clothes. I will throw on a Forever 21 top with some Louboutins (my kind of chick). It's all about how you accessorize. As far as shoes, I can't live without my Louboutins [laughs]- Francesco Sacco, Georgina Goodman, YSL are a few of my favorites.
Can we expect an “Evelyn Lozada” Fashion line in the future?
That is definitely something that I would love to dabble into eventually.
Your shoe store offers some of the most beautiful and different shoes. Would you ever consider opening another shoe store catering to the average woman (not so expensive)?
I would definitely consider opening up a mid-range shoe store for women. Maybe that will be my next venture. Right now, my business partner [Rebecca Brothers] and I are working ardently to take Dulce to the next level.

Fan questions
If today Antoine would change (no more cheating, no more gambling) would you consider going back with him and continue what you guys started? You had 10 years invested or do you think it’s a done deal?
My relationship with him is a done deal, but my family and I will always have love for him.
Do you see yourself as a stronger woman now that you are doing your own thing without Antoine's help?
My mom raised us to be strong women. I've always considered myself to be strong; even before Antoine.
Any regrets about anything that you have gone through?
I don't live with regrets. I'm a true believer that everything happens for a reason.
After the break up, when did you first get over the withdrawals from being with someone for so long or are you still going through it? If so, how hard has it been to go through it in the public eye?
It was very difficult going through a break-up while I was filming Basketball Wives- hence the tears on every other episode [laughs]. I'm now over it and I've moved on.
What advice would you give to women who are in conflicted relationships and don't know how to get out?
When you are in a relationship, you shouldn't feel conflicted. If you are, that's a sign that you need to move on. Putting God first and prayer is what got me through my situation.
Are you actively dating now or are you taking a break?
I don't know about actively [laughs], but definitely open to dating [laughs].
Season 2 of Basketball Wives begin filming this month. The new season will air on VH1 in the fall. If you need a refresher, you can check out Part I of our interview right here.
