show stopping shoes

my gianvito rossi fury sandals were absolute showstoppers at NYFW! im so thankful for the amazing sale at Century 21 when i got them. people are always asking how i find such great deals and its because i love a good deal and the hunt of finding a bargain. you have to really be able to sift through things and have the patience for it. especially when thrift and vintage shopping. i also do comparison shopping and take advantage of membership cards like those at Loehmanns, my favorite store for designer deals. H&M also emails 20% off coupons every now and again. if you want a good deal...be an INSIDER!

Top & Sunglasses: via Loehmanns | Skirt: American Apparel | Bracelet: H&M

Shoes: Gianvito Rossi via Century 21

 GET THE LOOK

these are indeed my favorite pair of sunglasses for Fall. i love the rich bold color.

it just brings everything together and makes it pop! i will also be wearing these shoes for as long as i possibly can before there is snow on the ground. i am actually welcoming the cooler weather. summer was kinda brutal. so back to finding great deals....my favorite department stores for designer duds are Loehmanns, Century 21 and Nordstroms rack. They are my BIG 3 boyfriends when i need a certain something special or just want to treat myself. i never and i mean never pay full price for designer pieces. why should i when awesome places like Loehmanns practically give the stuff away!

gold and black

a few weeks ago i thrifted this top from Salvation Army.

it came in a two piece set with top and skirt so i decided to break it up so that it fit better into my wardrobe. i paired the sky blue top with one of my new favorite skirts from American Apparel.

this skirt is from the new Afrika line and I am digging it!

i love the contrast between the top and the skirt as well.

Top: Thrifted from Salvation Army |   Skirt: American Apparel Afrika Line

Shoes: Zara Basic Sandal | Gold Clutch: Zara | Sunnies: Spitfire

the print on this skirt is sick and i love that it's on gold lame as well which subsequently goes perfectly with my new Zara Gold Lame clutch. I picked this baby up while in Barcelona for about $30! I will be pairing it with tons of evening wear...like this green sequin dress.

if you want to know the number one showstoppers to get you noticed...

unique shoes and weird sunglasses.

the combination is golden.

American Apparel Afrika

so American Apparel is doing the damn thing right now. they are totally satisfying my urge for African Inspired Prints and bright pops of color.

i loved these skirts so much...I bought 3 and am on the hunt for more.

These skirts are still in test mode so they aren't even online yet!

you just have to peruse every single American Apparel to find them..and not all of them carry these  Afrika printed skirts.

I found these at American Apparel in Harlem and the flagship in Soho.

hurry and get them before they are gone. at $38 a pop...its a definite fashion STEELE!

Ahhhhhhh. im just so happy right now. now i can get my Solange Knowles vibe going.

she is fast becoming my fashion icon next to Tracee Ellis Ross. How weird is it that I have a photo of them both together from a previous fashion week! I am falling in love with Kenzo thanks to Solange. Now if only i could afford it but for now this will do!
