It's Spring?

I was having a bad hair day and didn't know what to do with it so I did everything with it. Plus, it was soooo windy ugh. Is this even Spring? geez!

 My pseudo spring break look. I'm acting like I'm going somewhere warm - my final destination this year is Minnesota...yup....Minnesota. I'm not complaining though because I get to see my ADORABLE nephew and my sister :D. The Bahamas can wait till another time.

Bright colors, geometric print and Black&white are trending this spring. OH and how could I forget strappy sandals

Anyhu, HAPPY HAPPY Spring Break to my fellow MIT-ers and to anyone who happens to have their spring break as late us ours.


HAPPY MONDAY

Yours Truly,

PS: I'm planning something big for one of my next posts so keep an eye out.

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,

Nemo Found Us

In regards to the title of this post....I just had to. I really, honestly couldn't help it. I've been itching to use that since before the storm actually hit us. As a matter of fact, Nemo motivated me to do a post.

Cream (Off-White) vs Red

Contender #1

Contender #2

As I was going through my pictures, I realized 99% of them were side poses. I guess i got a little carried away trying to show off le boots...oops! 

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

As some of you probably realized I haven't put up anything for well over a month - probably two months. I apologize for le absence and a simple explanation for this extra long hiatus is.......I am the laziest person in the whole wide world. I honestly spent most of my winter break catching up all my TV shows, sleeping, eating, and going to Tango class (which happens to be my new favorite thing). I was such a lazy bum. I spent most of my days in my pajamas with either a jar of Nutella or a box of Ferroro Rocher at my side. Anyway, school started last week and that got me out of that schlump. Well, then Nemo hit and provided that extra motivation/inspiration I needed to put up a new post.

Nemo was really mad that we lost him because he came and dumped over two feet of snow on Boston. It was pretty great because we got a snow day and since it was only the first week of school I didn't had anything to do except watch Spartacus all day (WATCH THAT SHOW!!). Personally, I'm not a big fan of snow or anything cold so when it was all over and the entire campus (even the President of the school) went to the snow ball fight (which apparently was epic) I stayed indoors watching Spartacus and reading short stories from the "Dubliners" by James Joyce. 

Wow! I just read what I wrote....I really have no life. *SOBS*

On that note, I must return to my books but before I go, I will leave you with my favorite Tango video. Did I mention I'M IN LOVE WITH THE DANCE!! The best three hours of my week are when I'm in Tango class.

Have an amazing week!

Happy Valentines day (in advance)!! <3<3<3<3<3

Yours Truly,

Marcie

Trend on a Budget: KA-POW!

The Markus Lupfer and Phillip Lim sweaters have been named by many bloggers the IT sweater of the season so I did a little research yesterday when I had time and tried my hardest to find a similar ones on a budget but i did....sort of lol.

In the first picture, my fashion idol -Chiara Ferragni -wears a Mark Lupfer sequined Ka-Pow sweater to NY fashion week and in the third picture we have a Phillip Lim 3.1 Ka-Pow sweater in white (in navy as well). Both these sweaters cost about $400 each but in the middle we have a Nasty Gal long sleeved pow crop top for $58. I also found this ($39)

#2 NastyGal crop top $58: http://www.nastygal.com/whats%2Dnew/pow%2Dcrop%2Dtop

#3 Phillip Lim 3.1 Sweater $425: http://www.shopbop.com/pow-pullover-31-phillip-lim/vp/v=1/845524441944803.htm

#4 Zazzle Sweatshirt $39.95: http://www.zazzle.com/ka_pow_hoodie-235545359590745101

When I have time I will try to find cheaper versions of the Givenchy Rottweiler and Shark sweaters

Have a good day :)

Animalistic

During my study break I was deleting some old stuff off my laptop when I realized I had these and never posted them. These were taken about a month ago when the sun was setting. You get a pretty good view of the Turf and a few dorms.

 The view from Cambridge into Boston

As I've said before, I love animal print but NOW I'm seriously obsessing over Givenchy's graphic print t-shirts and sweaters. My favorite one so far is the Shark tee. I mean it is FIERCE in every sense of the word.

Side note: Why do hurricanes follow me around? I leave Louisiana after a hurricane only to come back to Boston to meet one. On a somewhat brighter note, class got cancelled today and I caught up on all the work I ignored over the weekend so...yay? lol

Have an amazing week!

PS: Sorry for my absence, it's been a hectic few weeks 

Leather Fringe, Emerald and Gloom

I think from this post and from a lot of my previous ones you can make certain assumptions about me: I like leather and I like those shoes. If you did make those assumptions, you are completely correct lol.

I have a really bad caffeine buzz right now so my thoughts are everywhere lol. I think I have had maybe 4 large cups within the last 3-4 hours....yea....I'm an caffeine-aholic :/ So everything makes sense, I;m going to number my thoughts for the day lol. Here goes:

1. I don't know whether it's because the weather is changing or if I'm just changing but my wardrobe seems to be gravitating towards the dark side. I took a step back this morning and realized I have so much black, dark red, leather...dude.....what's going on? lol.

2.Zara had that EXACT same skirt in the spring for almost $100 and guess what? Now Forever 21 has them for $30. If you are feeling it I say go get them like NOW because there was only one left in my size and that was last week. Speaking of which, I havent done a trend on a budget post in a while. My apologies; it seemed to have slipped my mind but no worries I should have a couple up this month.

3. This is my crazy hair when I haven't straightened it. One of the many times you will see it in this state this semester. So please dont judge me *in Chris Brown voice* lol

4. A friend of mine is in a iHeartRihanna contest on twitter so PLEASE RETWEET HERE so he can meet her <3 Thank youuuu! :) I hope it's not too late 

5. I keep forgetting to put this here. I have a Facebook Page now for DRS so if you want to keep up with my posts LIKE IT please  and tell your friends about it :) Click HERE. 

6. I should be a having a give-away soon *YAY* and this week you will be meeting my lovely photographer and makeup artist from New Orleans

7. Lastly, a little word about the Summer-to-Fall transition. Since the weather is still manageable, use this time to update your fall/winter wardrobe and deal with the occasional chill with an oversized sweater over any summer outfit. A nice leather jacket and tights should help you into fall.

Now back to le books, I have a 20-page lab report due tomorrow, topped off with an exam, oh and did i mention I have a presentation (which I'm not prepared for) on Tuesday and another exam on Thursday and problem sets due....FUN! -_____-  If anyone wants to skype....i should be up till 5am...or so? lol

Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers

HAPPY MONDAY!
HAPPY OCTOBER!
September, it was real!

That Pop of Color

 Two somewhat different outfits, two somewhat different pops of color. I couldn't decide which way I wanted to go with this look - the neons shoes or the red lips? All i knew was that i didnt want to do both at the same time....just too much pop, no? So here's a sampling of both, you can decide which one you like best.

 REMIX! lol......The Red Lips :)

 HI :)

How could I go an entire TWO weeks in fall without incorporating leather in my look. :)

Today I had an AMAZING shoot with Ramzi. It was sooooo COLD but it was all worth it :) I can't wait to show you all some of the pictures. Also, this week I will be putting up a post with special guest features from New Orleans so get excited :)

Now back to work :)
