i shall remain colorful

yellows and pinks and even light blues aren't naturally considered Fall or Winter Colors

but I'm definitely gonna keep it colorful for Fall.

My new favorite color is Yellow.

Very surprising because I still am and always will be a die hard Green fan.

This Alice + Olivia dress is a new piece in my wardrobe.



Outfit

Dress: Alice + Olivia via Nordstrom's Rack

Shoes: Pelle Moda via Loehmanns

Purse: London Fog via Loehmanns

Hat: Random vendor Soho

I love the shape of this dress very reminiscent of the baby doll dress like the one I wore here and here.

The weather is so fickle right now in NYC. One day I need a cardigan, the next I wear leggings and burn up and the next its so humid my hair immediately turns into an afro after being outside for 3 seconds and my eyelashes are sweating.

Fall if you're gonna be here...please stop pump faking me.

I did however get to bust out my new Pelle booties!

Zara: Dressing Room Addition

So I went to Bergdorfs on 5th Ave looking for my dream shoe that I worked a million extra hours to buy...and guess what..they had the shoe..BUT NOT IN MY SIZE..Grrrrr.

Feeling defeated and cursing my big ass feet I made my way down 5th Ave..determined to buy something to ease my pain.

Hello Zara...

I didn't get either. I loved the gold one but it flaked all over everthing and I had gold dust on everything including my hair. It was fun though. Check out my other dressing room experience at Top Shop.

Feeling a little better I decided to hop in a cab and make my way from 5th Ave to Macy's and took a little video. Along the way you'll see the Barami store and Bryant Park where I took some street style photos in a previous post HERE.

size: Extra BIG!
Now I'm off to the Rebecca Minkoff Girls Night Out Event. Will post soon.

I had the most intense Eargasm...

Ok so I have my shoegasm moments...you know when you round a corner and see a shoe and your mouth starts to water and your feet quiver. LOL. But recently I had an eargasm and it was awesome. My lobes literally rubbed themselves! Ok enough puns. I've been walking past this African shop on 125th Street for the past year and never gone in but for some reason a few days ago I did and to my surprise...a whole wall about 50 feet of nothing but African handmade earrings!!!!

 

I got 4 pair of awesome earrings for $20 can we say in unison fashion STEELE!!!!!!

I love the bold colors, the natural materials and that they are all so unique. I really have a thing for wire hoop earrings with stones if you haven't noticed lol. See more of my interesting and fun earrings HERE!!!!!

This shop is located on 125th St closer to Lenox Avenue. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of it but its very noticeable. If you are in the area please check it out! Also the owners are very sweet and nice. What do you fashionistas think of these earrings?? I think they'd be perfect for Spring!
