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.

leather, pleats, chiffon & studs

the title says everything. take total opposites and throw them together to create a weird juxtaposition of outfit greatness. here is another awesometastic dress from Taylor Dresses that I picked up at Caravan Studio. I was immediately drawn in by the lace, leather and pleats. it's badass without being overly in yo face badass. which is why i love it. there is still something sweet about it...

it's the lace, even if it is black.

can we take a moment to admire the double skull head bracelet???? it is now my favorite peice of jewelry next to my skull ring and side cross necklace. the lovely Marti of Marti Company gave me this awesome bracelet while i viewed her collection at Caravan Studio. Marti makes not only amazing clothing like this fab sequin dress i tried on but stunning jewelry as well.

theres a whole lot going on with this outfit and thats just how i like it!
