Wrapped Proportions

Posted on May 23, 2012 by
Jacket from GoodWill, Rachel Pally dress (longer version here and cute style here), Charles David shoes, Vintage clutch, KW ‘Fame” Sunnies, Roberto Coin necklace, Nails: Milani Neon in Fresh Teal

Can you believe I haven’t gone thrift shopping in like weeks? It was brought to my attention, from myself actually, that I had been stepping foot into my local Good Will in the most excessive way, so I had to take a chill pill. I took a visit their this past weekend and found this bad azz double breasted jacket with faux leather lapels and snatched it up like it was no tomorrow. Here I am wearing it with my favorite wrap dress, but I am more excited to wear this jacket with skinnie jeans cause of the edginess it exudes. But did you already guess that it is now my new favorite jacket…hehe.

Happy Wednesday Lovelies!!!

Steal vs Splurge: The Ultimate Black Pump

Posted on May 21, 2012 by
I think there is a reason why Steve Madden named one of their newest styles “DeJaVu” and that’s because, well – you’ve seen it before. As I was in Nordstrom this weekend, I decided to mozy my way on over to the shoe section and instantly spotted 3 glorious pair of pumps which all resembled the Christian Louboutin infamous “Daffodile” shoes. I thoroughly examined them for you guys, just to see if they were serving the same hotness as the Louby’s. So for a 4th of the price, you can snag these babies and look amazing without breaking the bank. Niiceee.
Steve Madden “Dejavu” pumps $129.95

Friday Randoms & Discoveries

Posted on May 18, 2012 by

1. Nick Wooster has been the topic of the moment, especially more recently by my friend. I stumbled upon a tumblr account dedicated to the stylish and oh so effortless Nickelson “Nick” Wooster, former Men’s Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus. I discovered him first on citizen couture, his looks are endless and he also has a pretty impressive resume.
2. I usually prefer home cooked meals but when I’m on the go or want something quick to eat, I like to buy microwave dinners, preferably Marie Callendars and Lean Cuisine. As I was eating one of my delish Asian dishes courtesy of Marie, I noticed you can donate a small donation to Feeding America if you enter a code on the back of the box. I’ll make sure to buy more meals to help feed hunger. :)
3. I stumbled upon this Essie Apricot oil while searching for articles of clothing (not sure how that happened) but I think I may try this product, since my cuticles can get a bit ugly. I will keep you lovelies posted on the results.

4. As a blogger who is always looking to enhance and promote my business, I have seen and read that pinterest is a GREAT social network to get your business booming. I have been a member for a few months now, but you will definitely catch me pinning and repinning more. So I hope you guys are following me here!
5. And last but not least, I recently found out that I was nominated for Best Personal Style Blog at the Style Bloggers of Color Conference in Atlanta. I am super excited about it. I would LOVE you lovelies support and vote! Check it out here! Thank you!!!
Well I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! Happy Friday lovelies!!!

Purple Pleasures

Posted on May 17, 2012 by
American Apparel tee, J. Crew maxi skirt (similar style here), Sam Edelman sandals (other color here), Thifted Fedora Hat (salvation army), Zara mini shopper, Vintage scarf, Forever 21 bracelets, Vintage bracelet

Wore this jersey maxi skirt yesterday in the most happiest way. It feels like second skin; uber soft and comfy. I, of course, love the color dearly and for some reason have been all about purple lately. Some outfits give you that ultimate chill look and feeling and this little ensemble was definitely one of them.

Have a Great day Lovelies!!!

xoxo
