military vest and bright blue shoes

finally got to wear my new blue beauties that I got from Elizabeth, shoe designer for L.A.M.B. and Charles Jourdan. as promised I paired them with something green. i just love this color combination green and blue. I'm also on the hunt for something burgundy and neon yellow. thats the new color combo...if you havent heard. lol.

the military trend is in full effect and i love it. especially since i am a die hard fan of the color green. i seriously went green crazy this past weekend picking up this top from Top Shop and this shirt and skirt from American Apparel. All of which are various shades of green. not to mention this military top i rocked a few post ago. my whole wardrobe will slowly turn green. anywho so i've been getting my outfits together for New York Fashion Week. Yes...i know its 2.5 months away but i can't help myself. i am in love with fashion and this blog and im not ashamed! but i just realized that the 5 outfits i put together all have green lol. i will be the green bean during fashion week. haha.

my downtown look

I'll admit it...I have "looks". I have my sophisticated look, my earthy look, my fun business look and my downtown look. Hell i have way more than that but for times sake...we'll keep it short.

this is more of a downtown look for me. when i think downtown Manhattan I think

trendy, fun and sexy.

i put this look together with those thoughts in mind and topped it off with a hat just because....

Top: Zara get a similar one HERE | Shorts: Forever 21 | Shoes: Sole Society

Bag: Remi and Emmy c/o Rebecca Minkoff | Hat: Randm Soho Vendor get similar HERE

I love being downtown..it's a whole different world from being in Harlem. But sometimes its just nice to be home. It's quieter and the rent is so much more affordable. Hey I'm only a 30 minute train ride from downtown and it gives me just enough time to read my fashion magazines.

Plus is I lived downtown near all the awesome shopping...I'd be perpetually broke.

Check out some of my favorite shorts here and here.

what does your downtown look look like?
