I Wanna Shop: Fall Editon

Boots: Forever 21 | Tulle Skirt: Similar | Sneakers: Nike | Bralet: New Look | Lip Color:NYX Soft Matte Lip | Perfume: Pacifica Perfume

Am I the only one that creates a full shopping wishlist in my head. I know there has to be someone else out there who does this.  Either way I've been holding on to my above wish list (in my head) for quite a while now.  I've always viewed the fall as a season of transition and these items are all perfect for this transitional time of the year.

Do you have a fall shopping wishlist?

Brooklyn Love

Brooklyn love was spread all around this weekend.  Friend and Harlemite, Chyann wandered over to the land of BK this weekend to join me in making my rounds to a natural hair expo and a mini flea market adventure.  We made stops to Williamsburg, Fort Greene and Bed-Stuy where we shopped and played  cool along side the hipsters.  While I was a bum for the day, Chyann rocked an edgy and layered look that was both comfortable and trendy.  I myself was a fan of her bright coral lipstick, which by the way is from Sephora's Collection of Rouge Cream Lipsticks.  What did you loves get into this weekend?

Winter Days

Howdy Folks!  Long time no speak.  I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm.  The winter in New York has been something fierce with it's non stop frigid temperatures.  With weather like this layering is the key to staying warm and kinda cute all at the same time.  Are you beauties layering up your outfits this winter?

Weekend Adventures

Don't you just love the air of the weekend?  It always seems to be so much more clearer and the sun seems to shine just a lil bit brighter .  Or could it be that my excitement of having two free days to roam about with no care in the world has allowed my imagination to run wild.  Whatever the case I got into a few things this weekend.  It consisted of pastel blocking, a trip to china town, a date with indian food and perusing the Met.  Click inside to see how it all went down.  

Thrifted Inspiration

Hola ladies and gents.  It's been quite some time since I posted an outfit post.  I'd love to say that my hiatus stems from  me being super busy and yadda yadda.  That would make little ol me seem so important.  Truth is I have been so lazy these days.  I blame it on these winter months leaving me on most nights crawled up on my couch channel surfing. (Sigh) well enough about that.  On to business.

As some of you may know I am always excited to share my thrifted finds and this time is no different.  I recently scored this pleated skirt and light blue shirt on one of my thrifting escapades.  Both pieces came in  are you ready....under ten dollars. Go me (doing cabbage patch).  Yes thrifted goal mines always calls for a little celebration and an old school dance or two. LOL  So what have you guys thrifted lately?

I'm Lovin My: Colored Denim

 Prior to snatching up my cobalt blue jeans from target I had been lusting for a pair of colored denim  for an eternity.  After witnessing this trend make its way on my fellow bloggers pages  and New Yorkers taking the trend to the streets, I thought it couldn't hurt to join in on the colored frenzy.  Luckily for me I had been gifted a Target gift card for Christmas and Target had a pair colored denim that fit me perfect.  Peek inside to see the outfits that I put together so far.  Also see some other colored denim picks.

And the skirt wins

Some of you may remember my sequins.com post I did earlier this month.  I asked for your help in putting together my Christmas outfit. I was going to choose between my Forever 21 sequin skirt or my Loehmans sequin shirt.   After all of the responses I would then choose the item with the most votes.  Well guys we have a winner.  It's the skirt.

My apologies for not having a better pic with shoes included.  I was working with a house full of people with full bellies and taking pics was the last thing on anyones list of things to do.  I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas.

Yippeee.

Help me get dressed

I need your help ladies and gents.  Which sequins item should I wear to a Christmas dinner?  Is it the sequin skirt or the sequin shirt.

Green Monster

You guys might recognize this green monster colored blazer from my Thrifterholic post I did a while back.   Since then I've rocked this colored goodness about two times.  On the third go round I decided to pair it with my striped shirt and lace up boots.

Hat Party

It's a hat party fierce beauties and your all invited.  With the weather bringing in a cold front (check me out, sounding like a weather girl and all) I thought I'd share some of my top picks of head gear that'll  keep you warm and stylish all at once.   It's a party with Fedora's, Furs and Print.  Go inside to check out  the picks inside.

Weekend at Grandma's

It was a pretty relaxing Saturday for me.  I decided to take a trip  on over to the Bronx and pay a visit to Grandma Lila.  I chatted it up with her and got in her way once or twice as she prepared sweet potato pie.  I instantly morphed into a little girl as I anxiously waited for the pie to be done.  Asking every twenty seconds, "is it done yet".  And let me tell you when it was done you better believe I tore my slice up. Ok maybe the three slices but hey judge don't me, it was good.  After devouring my slices I decided to take a few pics of my outfit.  The weather has taken a bit of a turn in NYC and we are officially in coat weather.  I decided to layer my furry vest with my faux leather jacket to keep warm and to my surprise it did.

Game Time

Last Saturday I stood on the sidelines in Brooklyn and witnessed a sports massacre committed by the boys in red, white and black, better known as the Boys & Girls High School Football team.  Both squads, varsity and junior varsity, dealt huge butt whippings on Midwood - the opposing team-  like they were put on this earth to do just that.  Sorry Midwood (Kanye shrug).  I cheered on not only as an alumni but a very much proud sis.  Donning number fifty Isaac, my baby brother,  had quite a game. In his second year on the team he is showing great dedication and sportsmanship.  I couldn't be more proud.  Congratulations Boys High!

For the big day, masculine inspired was the name of the game.  However, I added my wedges and Grandma Lila's hand me down bag to make sure some feminine touches poked through.

Closet Shopping

I'm sure i'm not alone when it comes to my views on closet shopping.  It's  almost always an act that is brought on as a last resort.  Well at least for me it is.  More recently I challenged myself to dig deeper into my closet and go searching for unworn items.  A minute or two into the short search I found these faux leather pants and this thrifted tuxedo blazer with the tags still attached.  Ladies and Gents we have an outfit.
