Winter Florals

It's desolate outside. the trees are bare but underneath the surface everything's still alive...just waiting for Spring. I too am waiting for Spring. I don't know how many of these brick cold winter days I can take but until the Spring...I can at least wear some florals.

black skinny jeans

something about black skinny jeans just screams "Im A Rockstar!'' to me.

i've have the jeans for some and rarely wear them but today i was feeling like a badass and decided to take them out for a spin. i added my favorite cross print tee from Forever 21 and a top hat from top shop. once again super amped that its cool enough for hats...but me no likey sweaters.

i just went through my winter clothing and donated about 75% of my sweaters because they were so ravaged from the past 2 winters. i will definitely be going top shopping soon or i will freeze to death in winter. lol.

Top: Forever 21 | Jeans: Free People | Jacket: H&M | Booties: Zara | Hat: Top Shop

GET THE LOOK

all black with a pop of red in the booties! these are seriously my favorite boots and im so glad i stepped outside my comfort zone of hardly ever wearing red and buying these boots. i always get questions about this denim jacket. i got it like 3 years ago at H&M. I've had it so long but i've never ever washed it..lol. i find that the stains and the dirt really make it look broken in and vintage. it also fits me perfectly and i think washing it would destroy all the charm of it.

 

have you ever had something you didn't wash to preserve its essence?

there's no place like home

you all know the color red isn't really my kind of color. but every since getting and wearing

 this fabulous red dress by Synderela i have secretly been craving all things red. i think this is the start of a beautiful relationship between that naughty color and I. fast forward to two weeks ago, i'm perusing my local Zara when #KABOOM i see these fire red suede booties.

i couldn't contain my enthusiasm and straight out busted into the running man and probably scared off a few patrons. of course they didn't have my size (my gargantuan feet ruin my life) but luckily they did online. ahhh the mystical powers of the internet have once again come to the rescue.

Top: Zara | Shorts: Forever 21| Booties: Zara | Bag: M.A.C. Mini c/o Rebecca Minkoff

Sunnies: Ray Ban | Bracelet: c/o MARTI | Lipstick: Stila Fiery | Ring: H&M

these are like the modern day cool girl Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) booties right?!

but really there is no place like home and home to me is North Carolina as well as my current residence in Harlem. I will be needing a much needed rest and relaxation trip back to NC after the madness that is New York Fashion Week takes place. No matter how old i get my mom will still make me breakfast (cheese toast my fav) and want to take me shopping.
