Black, Gold and a Splash of Color

"Esi wait I want to see them first, I'm so excited"

I really did not think I would be THAT excited to get back to this. It's been about FIVE months since I posted something and I wasn't really bothered by that. I think I needed the break to focus on work and school.

I can't promise I will be completely commit to this but I will definitely be on this a little more :)

HINT: I have been wearing a lot of men's clothes and I can't wait to share :)

For all of you Stuart Weitzman lovers, these Aldo boots look exactly like the Stuart Weitzman 5050 boot except more reasonably priced! Go get them quick they are going pretty fast.

Adios!...For now




Yours Truly,

Resolutions

Well, hello there lovelies! I know, I know, It's been a long time but school has honestly been kicking my butt. I have been busier that ever with life and....EVERYTHING. I promise I will be back with full force next semester but for now this is my last post of year. 

As the year draws slowly to an end, I am re-evaluating my life, my priorities, my friends, the decisions I've and the person I have become. I have realized that it is okay to change but the question I ask myself is, am I a better person now than I was last year? have I grown? Honestly, I don't know but I do know that I have more time to become the woman I want to be and I am not there yet. So my journey continues and until I reach my peak I will work harder than ever. 

I have had an amazing year and I am hoping next year is even better. I am letting go of everything(and everyone) that has hurt me and embracing all the AMAZING memories I have made. I have learned that you can't be good at everything, you can't be loved and understood by everyone, and you need to accept those that actually DO care for, love, understand and accept you, flaws and all. Most importantly live life for yourself and not for anyone else. Life is way too short to be living out some else's dreams; it is way too short to be living life to please any one but yourself.

Strive to make our world better, strive to BE better, strive to LIVE your dreams. There is no easy way out. Some of you think we are still young but the truth is we start building our values right here, right now. What do you stand for?

To all of you, 

Happy Finals

Happy Holidays

Have a  HAPPY HAPPY and BLESSED New Year

and please please stay safe where ever you are.

Yours Forever,

Marcie

The Meadow Dress

 I'm going to be short today since I have a pile of work to do. Oh, the life of college student!

I saw this dress at H&M and my jaw dropped. There were only three of these on the rack and I swear my heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, there was one dress left in MY SIZE! I was so happy that night, I decided to walk all the back to campus lol. This form-fitting midi, has this amazing graphic print at the bottom of the sleeves and the dress itself -perfect for a night out with le girls or on date and even for a formal. I guess the print is a meadow or swamp or creek or.....i don't know, it's just pretty and I love it.


OK! HAPPY MONDAY!


Yours Truly,

Leather for Fall

WE ARE NUMBE ONE!!! :O :D

I changed into flats as sort of a back-to-school / walking-around-campus look :)

Today it was announced that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is THE BEST university in the WORLD! I am so very proud to attend an institute of such caliber. YAY! :) Go MIT!

ANYWAY, because I was oh so happy I decided to post something today. As some of you can tell, Leather is one of those things I LOVE. I really can't count the number of leather  or leather -looking items in my closet. When I saw those pant and THOSE SHOES (Gold and Studded perfection with a lady-like twist) and I was like, "MINE!" lol. Plus, it's actually getting pretty chilly here :/ so it's about time we all start preparing for next season.

I still have one more post from New Orleans which will go up end of the week AND I plan on introducing you all you Janine Joffe and Maria Barreda (my wonderful photographer and Makeup Artist in New Orleans) next week so keep an eye out lovelies :)

Happy studying everyone!

Off to office hours :)

Everything is from Zara. the necklace is from Aldo

The SnoWizard

This outfit is one of favorites so far perhaps because the shoot went really well. I decided to pair my high-waisted american apparel shorts with a white peplum top I found on Asos for this EXTREMELY hot, humid Sunday afternoon. I wore this top with a burgundy leather pencil skirt for an networking event I attended last month. Honestly, its too hot here in the daytime for me to comfortably take pictures  in that skirt (it's leather, leather + heat = bad) however, i will dig up a few ugly iPhone pictures i took with a picture of that skirt for another post. BTW, BURGUNDY  and LEATHER ARE COMPLETELY ON TREND FOR THIS FALL (so start updating those wardrobes....or not lol. Maria Barreda competely outdid herself with the makeup. She went all our for me this time and so did Janine with the pictures. (Thank you guys :)  )

AND of course, I have to mention this location. SnoWizard has THE best snowballs I have tasted....or maybe it was because I was hungry/thirsty.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have two more stressful weeks here in New Orleans. I am literally THE last intern left here and I have so much to finish before my final presentation. Wish me luck, keep me in your prayers!


TGIF!! TOMORROW IS MY DAY OFFF! YESSSSS!!

Minty Fresh

Is it just me or did summer go by really fast. I feel like it was just yesterday I was packing for my trip to New Orleans. I must say it's been an interesting little adventure I have had here :) Good times, good memories, good friends...what more could I ask for? :)

These pictures were taken in the Marigny. It is such an interesting part of town. Each house in this neighborhood has its own personality; its own vibe and feel. There are pink houses, blue houses, green, yellow, and multicolored ones. Some parts reminded me a lot  of Ghana, others reminded me of an old, western town while some parts had this old European feel. Very Eclectic to say the least. I really really like it here! I wouldn't mind moving down here after graduation

I decided to pair my mint pants with a silver top and of course my silver and mint shoes. I felt like matching that day lol.

Well...I have to be up at 4am tomorrow morning so I'm heading to bed. I had an awesome shoot with Janine Joffe today so I should have another post up this week. Maria also did an awesome job with the makeup, I cant wait to put those pictures up :)

HAPPY MONDAY :)
