Baroque Me!

Two must-haves this season are Baroque prints and nude strappy sandals to compliment your spring/summer dresses.

In true Steve Madden style my nude shoes are a very good look-a-like for the Schutz spiked sandal heel which was priced at about $300. Steve Madden offers them for only a third of that price.

You can tone this look down some more by wearing silver or nude flats  or even adding gold accents instead of silver ones.

Two more weeks till it's officially spring! :D


HAPPY MONDAY!

Have an amazing week


Yours Truly,

Silver and Stripes

I chose to wear a skirt today (just for le shoot) as a kind of Spring preview. I changed in to black jeans after, with the same shoes and jewelry. This outfit could also be pair with flats for a more casual look. This Spring look out for black and white outfit combinations, black and white stripes (sometimes paired with a pop of color) as well as geometric looks and patterns. I don't know about you but I'm looking forward to some warmth and an opportunity to wear fewer layers. The weather in Boston has been pretty "ugh" lately. As you can tell from the gloominess of le photos, it was pretty "ugh" today and I think I might have rained/snowed a bit (after le shoot).


These last few weeks have been a whirlwind. School has kept me busy and away from le blog and it looks like that might not change. I definitely will not be posting weekly, perhaps every two or three weeks depending on my work load - I will not disappear, I promise :) I will also try to put up "Trends on a Budget" post soon as well as some of my favorite runway shows from the S/S 13 and F/W13 Fashion Weeks (Milan, Paris, London, etc). I am planning a Spring-esque post for next week though :) So keep an eye out!

Goodnight my lovelies.

HAPPY MONDAY!

White on Labor Day

I AM BACK IN BEAN TOWN Y'ALL! (I had to bring some of the south up north with me lol)

It's been a VERY busy three days here. Today, was crazy busy. I had to register for classes, a meeting with my advisor, the shoot, lunch with mes amies, not to mention moving and unpacking plus I lost my phone for like an hour (yea...it made my life lifeless for a moment). Anyway, it's not yet the day after labor day so I guess it's ok to wear white, right?

Anyhu, THAT JACKET made me so happy for like an hour lol. I sound like a shopaholic.....ok maybe I am one  -_- lol. As i said before, leather is completely in this pre-fall/fall and the fact that it's denim AND leather just made it perfect for the summer-fall transition. You can just plop it on any of your summer dresses in preparation for Fall.


Happy Day-After-Labor-Day!! :)

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 :)
