Lowkey

It's certainly a lowkey Saturday for me friends. The kind that has faux furs, dark shades and kicks all mixed in.  Speaking of kicks I've had these high top sneakers for quite some time. Today was my first time sporting them after constant thoughts of giving these bad boys the boot.  The verdict after one wear?  I think I kind of like them.  So I guess that means they'll be sticking around a little longer (shrug). Have you ever had an item of clothing that was very close to getting the fashion boot?

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?

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.

Fashion's Night Out

The sidewalks of New York were all a buzz last night with the celebration of Fashion’s Night Out. The Fashion Week kickoff brought swarms of fashion enthusiasts out to play in the loads of festivities. I was one of the many who participated and my first stop was Macy’s Herald Square. I dropped in to see Designer, Rachel Roy and New York Knicks Forward, Amar’e Stoudemire (Yes he‘s fine). If you haven’t heard both Roy and Stoudemire joined forces to create a new collection of women’s casual wear for Rachel Roy‘s line. The collection is described as a "courtside apparel for the fashion-forward female”.





There were trendsetters in every nook and cranny but I only managed to get a quick shot of two very stylish ladies



 Only because my feet were killing me, my next and final stop was Lord & Taylor. As with Macy’s, Lord & Taylor had many celebrity and designer appearances.  Solange Knowles was among that list. Knowles put it down on the ones and twos as she brought the crowd to their knees with a bit of old school Prince and Whitney Houston. It was good times all around.

Where did you guys go for Fahion's Night Out?

Hangin' on the stoop

Last Thursday I took a stab at the colored jeans trend.  I threw on my pale pink jeans (hope you can make out the color) and paired it with this v-neck top and standout necklace.  What do you guys think?
