Swirly Twirly

I know it’s not summertime in most parts of the world, but here in Florida it feels like summertime! I found this photo on my computer recently and decided to post it for all you people experiencing the warmth of global warming 

Yellow laced dress: American Apparel Outlet $30
Black slip: Urban Outfitters $10 (sale rack people!)
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell: $200
Black bowtie: Vintage store $5
Nerd glasses: Street vendor NYC $5
Black skinny belt: Forever 21: $4? I forget lol

TOTAL: $254

I wish I received more photos of this outfit during the photoshoot but at least this one is a candid cute one!

There’s a fun memory associated with this dress! My friend had told me about this AA outlet and how they didn’t have dressing rooms, that you had to change in the middle (or corner, like I did ha) of the store! I had to go check this out haha and very true it was. Luckily my best friend was with me so he covered me up some in the corner 

The more I see monotone outfits, the more I love them. Especially since grey is my favorite color. I love the collar with this pockets, simple, casual and effective. The rolled up pants and exposed socks are a nice ending touch to the look. Euro men know what’s up!

Get Grungyyyy

90′s grunge is coming back!

I was inspired while I was in Europe a few weeks ago. I swear the people there are stuck in the 90′s!! The fashion, the piercings, the music! It’s kinda funny but I liked it. The only thing that could’ve been changed was the love of Adidas. I’m just not a fan but hey whatever tickles your fancy!

You know what’s weird? Plaid.
Plaid works on  E V E R Y person and style. It’s so versatile, I love it. Every person should have a plaid shirt in their closet, male or female.

Clearwater Beach Uncorked: Food & Wine Festival with Monzzz! 
A little late in posting since it was on Oct. 17, 2012! 
It was so much fun! And who can pass up free food and wine?! (My friend worked for the event and we snagged some free tix, beats paying $85/ticket! ha)

Annnyway, I wasn't 100% sure on how to dress for the occasion considering it was being held under a tent in the sand/on the beach aaaand how classy/upscale or downscale it was going to be. So, I wore an outfit that I felt was bisexual haha or rather could go either way :P

The first photo lacks the blazer and has a different necklace than the one I actually wore---my mom gave me the one I wore (gold chain links) for my birthday and I thought to wear it after I already took the first photo.

So0ooo...for the outfit breakdown:

Blazer: H&M $40
Top: Nordstrom Rack $15
Bottoms: Nordstrom Rack $27
Shoes: Fleamarket $5
Watch: Macy's (Style & Co.) $30
Bracelets: Aldo $12
Necklace (1st photo): H&M $7
Necklace (worn--gold chain links): Gift from my Mamaaa but she got it at the jewelry stand @ the Seminole Hard Rock Casino--$130 

Total: Between $136 - $259, depending on which necklace :P

Sequentially Laid Back

Top: TJ Maxx $20
Bottoms: Charlotte Russe (I forget $ because they olddd!)
Glasses: Some stand on St. Marks in East Village, NYC $7
Necklace: An oldie goodie
Watch: Some stand in Chinatown, NYC $5
Boots: Rainbow $30

Total: Around $80 ish :P


This is a simple, casual outfit but what I love most about it is the mixture of textures (top & bottoms). Doing so always makes for a more interesting canvas. I'm also kind of obsessed with textures XD from food to clothes!

Another obsession of mine is the need to match my jewelry--here it's got a theme of all black and silver, which I think complements well with the color palette of the outfit.  
It's all in the details people! ;)

Rawr

Aww look! They franzzz! :P

First things first--I LOVE THESE PANTS...and I especially love how I found a ring friend to match the print haha :P

This outfit was helped put together during a photo shoot I had with Darryl Richardson (www.drichphotography.com)--I thought it was an unusually surprising yet refreshing combination. I rarely wear white or any close variation to it and I feel like that's a factor as to why I thought that,..since when the pants were purchased, automatic thought that came to mind was something like "oo0oo I'll wear my sheer black tank with the long coat tail" ...which would still look good but! no more rambles---point is: it's nice break out from what you're used to! Tip that could be applied to many aspects of life ;)
