What Cha Looking @

Embracing my new pale skin, very short hair and this LBD that shows a lot of back-age, YES! Since Fall practically smacked us all in the face and took away our summer with-in a change from August to September, there's a lot going on. Including: cutting my hair off, my skin loosing all its luxurious color (call me crayola white), NYFW, the change in apparel, and the LOVELY COOLER WEATHER. Which actually I LOVE, and I am so excited for this season so I really can't complain. I need to BOOST up my wardrobe and start shopping for Fall! WHOOHOO fun... so here and there I am finding some great new garments which of course I love to share. This new BCBG cut out sheer black dress is great for dressing up with heels and dressing down with boots or flats. Great new basic necessity to stick in my wardrobe for the new season approaching (or here). I decided to spice it up, I threw on my Sam Edelman Heels and kept it simple. MWUAHHAHHAHA ;-* 

How I Feel For No Reason ...

Y SO CEREAL? (serious)

You may be thinking, are those MC hammer pants? and the reason for me saying you may be thinking that is because I already had received comments of that sort and I seriously would love for not one more person to say this to me or else something terrible will occur... Im cereal about this. YES everyone, I stole them from MC Hammer himself... there harem pants geniuses. KIDDING KIDDING, don't take it to offense but I truly am loving this outfit. One day, after class I had all the time in the world so I figured I would use that time to do the one thing that I know how to do best. Spend money on much needed items. So, while strolling along 5th I decided to go into one of my favorite stores Zara and check out their knew merchandise. I don't know about anyone else, but I cant be shopping for sweaters, jackets, leather pants and boots while it is still 100 degrees outside, and that is what the store was stocked up on. I enjoyed looking at all the new items for this upcoming fall, but I was nowhere near trying them on and purchasing them just yet. This is when I came across some really dope, pleated, zippered harem pants and this great ballerina skull graphic tee. Perfect for transitioning from WAY TO HOT, to hot, to warm, to a little cooler, too still hot but comfortable enough to wear pants and a tee. LOVED this look together that I just had to buy them both. Considering I had about three other pairs of harem pants but in all different styles, I loved the light suede effect with the gold zipper down the side of your ankle on these exact pants. Now that you know the whole story, I paired the top and bottom with Sam Edelman sandals, Louis Vuitton clutch and some of my own personal gold jewels. Now... it was time for a lovely night in NYC.

Life Keeps Moving On

Hello all, what another marvelous week that flew by, right? And starting this week was another challenge. What better way to start a new week off by wearing something comfortable that corresponds with the relaxing weekend I just had. I am digging this new print button down shirt I recently bought from the GAP, and these new sandals designed by Sam Edelman. And let me tell you the story behind these shorts… long story short, their MK. But to continue the story and make it longer, I literally bought these about 3 or 4 years ago and I never really wore them until now. Weirdly enough, I have been doing that all summer, breaking out the oldies and pairing them up with my newies (NOT A WORD I KNOW). But all together, this is one cozy ensemble. Tagging along with the group is my Michael Kors rose gold watch, my 14k gold chain bracelet that I never ever ever ever ever ever take off, my rose gold hamsa necklace and my rose gold Dogeared elephant my madre had bought for me for a not so special occasion, but it was during a very sentimental time in my life and I love her for everything she has done for me. 

 LOVE YOU MOMMMMMM! 

A$AP

 While jamming out to my man - A$AP Rocky, 

this beauty evolved. 

Sorry for the very long delay of such marvelous clothing, this girl got busy, but I promise, this chick is back in action. While getting inspired by music is definitely something that occurs, I am really digging this denim look. I can say, I haven’t worked my high wasted (Levis), shredded, boy looking, non-ass flattering shorts in a while, despite the fact that they DO NOT, in any shape or form flatter my BE_HIND not one bit. This is when you find something to hide that unattractive part of an outfit… if there ever is one, and surly, this one has its faults. I dig the front of these shorts 100%, but once it comes to the tush, its not OK. In this case, I paired a very light washed long denim button down shirt (GAP) over a nice white long length tank (Zara).  Hence (LONG) and as a result, it hides the hideous backside without looking like raggedy ann! Badda Bing Badda Boom! Abracadabra! Alakazam… it works like magic. Along with the denim ensemble, I balanced my new (Sam Edelman) heels, along with a chunky necklace and bracelets that I had created. See what I did here peeps?

I just cant face the fact that were making the same face, at the same time (TV) - unknowingly 

Summering

Is this post a little to late in the season? 

IDK & IDC, it has to be done. 

We all know summer is all about bright colors, minimal clothing, and lots of accessories. Beginning with big floppy hats, sunnies, jewelry, totes, sandals, shiny things, playful things (sports), yadda yadda... they’re all key items in my summer wardrobe. (Except the playful things, that's where my brothers come into play) But, my main concern is my “KEY ITEMS” for an “everyday summer day”. This is where I tell you my exciting summer “must haves” with some great pictures and many reasonings to why I NEED these things!

OK, first things first, the bathing suit. I mean, what’s summer without one, two, five, eleven, twenty of them? My must have for bathing suits: Find one that flatters your body. No matter how cute it may look on the hanger, TRY IT ON, and if it pulls you here or makes you look like a muffin there- don't buy it. There are so many that you can find that flaunt your body no matter what type of body shape you have. I tend to love ones you can mix and match but also ones that are a solid set. From top left: Just Cavalli Top & Vix Orange Bottom, Mara Hoffman Bikini, Vix Fringed Top & Undrest Bottoms, We Are Handsome Bikini, Emamo Bottom & Zimmermann Top. 

Second: Sandals. During the years, these charming shoes do accumulate over time, which makes you forget what you do have, so you just buy more to replace the ones you forgot about. In that case, each year I love buying either a staple color such as a tan or black pair, just so I have a basic shoe that matches everything or a great trendy pair depending on how fricken cute they are and how much I am in need of them. For example, this past weekend I was at Bloomies and I just bought a new pair of sandals… ON SALE, who are both trendy and simple. It was a must have because they were mark down to basically nothing and I kind of already had in my mind that I was buying them. From top Left: Sam Edelman Heels, Stuart Wesitzman Sandals, Minimarket Wedges, See by Chloe Sandals, Sam Edelman Sandals, Minimarket Sandals, Stella McCartney Heels, Pour La Victoire Sandals

Third: Everyday Clothing. I mean… you have to get dressed everyday don't you? Yea you do, and for that I am talking about dresses, skirts, tees, tanks, shorts, rompers, etc etc etc. I mean, that's really to the point. You can throw on a simple dress or a pair of shorts/ skirt with a tank, tee, button down, once piece garment or everything. However you like wearing clothes is totally up to you. I have my ways and you have yours! But please remember: layer when the appropriate time is needed. From top Left: Rick Owens Cotton Tank, Clover Canyon Printed Shorts, DAY Birger et Mikkelsen Jumpsuit, Theory Striped Silk Shirt, Boy. by Band of Outsiders Striped Shorts, Lanvin T-Shirt, MICHAEL Michael Kors Maxi Skirt

Fourth: Accessories Muthhhaa Chukkka. I’m talking handbags, jewelry, hats and sunnies people!!! I mean, what else perfects the outfit. Big ass floppy hats (beach only), tons and tons of sunglasses (the more the merrier), neckwear, wrist wear and finger wear of all sorts of colors, bulky or non bulkiness. BAGS OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES! Big totes, small clutches, beach bags, no bags. As long as you have something to put something in (going back to my pouch in “Overalling”). You can never have too much… you eventually find something to match that other something with. Too many to put in order: Rebecca Minkoff Wallet, The Cambridge Satchel Company,KOTUR Clutch, Kate Spade New York Clutch , Marc By Marc Jacobs Tote, MICHAEL Micahel Kors Tote, MICHAEL Michael Kors Shoulder Bag, Burberry Checked Wristlet, Gucci Hat, Illesteva Purple Sunglasses, Alexander Wang Black Sunglasses, Dannijo Raffaela Necklace, Dannijo Galgano Necklace, Tory Burch

Last but not Least: Everything else you need, including skin products but mostly skin products. I know I cannot, in any way or form, live without my chap stick. No matter where I am, that stuff needs to be with me and if it isn’t, I go into panic mode. If da lips aint good, they aint poppi’n. But most importantly, to protect them from the sun. In that case… that's why they invented sun tan oil right, to ruin your body and keep the lips in tack? Kidding, for those who are pale use sunscreen. But anyway, I like to get some color but also not get skin cancer so my oil most definitely has at least some SPF in it. (4spf) Then of course I have my daily face/ body lotion/ wash, vitamin E, and all those other fancy shmancy things I need but don't remember I use everyday which became a daily ritual.
