Play on Tulle

 Some time in the first week of October, Obinna, Faith and I some how ended up talking about photography and art. I am sure you all remember some of Obi's work (if you don't go back to my FIRST five posts or check out his facebook page HERE). After talking and bouncing ideas off each other we decided to do a creative shoot of our own. Faith helped out creatively, Obi took the pictures/directed and I styled the shoot.

 It was more for fun (and practice) than for anything but the pictures turned out amazing and we had fun in the process! we were going for something sophisticated yet minimalistic by sticking with solid colors, simple silhouettes and minimal makeup. I decided to use chiffon because it makes nice flowy gowns and tulle because its just fun to use. The black bustier was made out of tulle wrapped around me and then accessorized with a faux fur sash. These are only a few of my favorite ones and I might update this post once I get my hands on a couple of my favorites :). The rest of them should be up on Obi's facebook page and/or his Flickr some time soon. BIG BIG thumbs up to Obi. I adore the picture :) <3



As my horrible week draws to an end, I sit here on my bed with some comfort food (chinese and brownies) and an episode of Homeland. I just came out of an exam and you know that feeling you get when you know it didnt go too well....yea.....i've got that feeling :(

Before i try to sleep my sadness away, I just want to say there will be a post or two up soon. With Thanksgiving, school and a couple of other stuff, this month has been more than busy for me so I apologize for my absence.

The week is almost over!! TGIF :)

Goodnight :)

Sunday afternoon at the thrift store (STA)

I lover Faith's sense of style! Soon to be featured :)

Firstly, I would like to apologize for my absence. I know its been an entire week but things got crazy, not to mention the weather pulled a complete 180 on us :/ I'm back though and ready as ever! The break actually gave a chance to go shopping :) and I cant wait to show you all what I got!

Today some of my closest friends and I went out for brunch just to hang out and catch up and I decided to go in black, white and gold! I was exhausted from last night (as you can probably tell lol) but I love them and NEEDED to have some alone time with my babies :). Being the shopaholics we are, we found a thrift store and of course we went CRAZY! I must say I got some really interesting vintage pieces :) :D Also, Peplum is totally in this Spring and most stores have amazing peplum pieces out (Zara and H&M, for sure)  :)

Anyway, it's almost Monday! :/......HAPPY MONDAY!!!! :)

INSPIRATION: The Mob Wives

My very own secret (not any more) guilty pleasure -the mob wives. I first watched the show during winter break and since then I've been hooked. Who knew so much drama could be sooo addictive and funny and interesting....and funny! lol Those women scare me a little but then again I admire them. Behind all the drama and crime, they are strong women who know what they want and go for it without fear (of each other lol)

As I watched the opening I thought, "DAMN! These women have swag!." The fur coats, the heels, the hair, the colors (or lack thereof), the bling...everything about them in the opening! As fashion is an art, i took this as inspiration for one of my next looks. It may not be posted this week but next week it should be live! Here's what I've put together so far. What do you think?

Keep reading or you might miss out on the complete look! :)
