Hail Mary

i remember when Tupac was pronounced dead. I remember I cried like a baby. I also cried when Biggie and Aaliyah passed as well. My childhood plays out to Tupac's greatest hits. I remember watching the movie Juice and Poetic Justice and thinking my God...he is a fine fine man. So when I came across this top at Forever 21 I had to get it. Poetic Justice though...that was my MOVIE!

Top: Forever 21 | Skirt: H&M | Shoes: Sole Society | Sunnies: Spitfire

since the top is so hard (excuse the pun), I paired it with the frilliest thing I have which is this tulle skirt from H&M that I've had for a few years. You can see it worn similarly here. speaking of movies, I have been on a movie kick. Mostly because my beau hasn't seen any of my classic favorites. He's not American. Anywho over the past two weeks alone we've watch Brown Sugar, Coming to America and Boomerang an I'm happy he loved them all....especially Coming to America. Now I just have to tackle to Disney movie classics.

fairy tale

whenever i wear this skirt which isn't very often I always feel like Carrie Bradshaw in her tutu twirling around on the streets of New York. the last time i wore this skirt was when i went to the Style Fusion Runway Show by Styleta and won this amazing DKNY watch. I paired it with one of my favorite tops from Forever 21.

please excuse my shirt sticking hopelessly to me. when these photos were taken the humidity was beyond insane. i was SWELTERING. ugh...i don't like sweating. i feel like my SPF30 was just running down my face lol. i love this top so much...got it at Forever 21 for like $11 bucks fashion STEELE! see it worn differently HERE.
no matter how old you get...every woman should own a tutu inspired skirt. yeah i said it! its like a fairy tale only in real life. i also sense that men want to save you for some reason when wearing a tutu. lol. maybe thats just wishful thinking but i wore this to First Saturdays at the Brooklyn Museum and i did get tons of compliments so who knows!
