believe

there is something about a cutoff tee that just says it all.

this is my new favorite understated top from Forever 21. It was

a real fashion STEELE at $11.

Since buying it I've worn it atleast 3 times including for this video interview for Wiseling Mag.

it goes with everything...cutoff shorts, a midi skirt and even rolled up boyfriend jeans.

sometimes you have to believe...not just in whatever religion or thought process you connect with but also in yourself.

I know that if I dont believe in myself no one else will.

I find that anytime I do what I really love...doors just continuously open.

I encourage all of you to follow your dreams, follow your heart and believe in yourself.

Now..I'm off my soap box and back to the fashion...these Spitfire sunnies added the perfect touch to this ensemble. I love how a pair of glasses can make you look different.

even...dare i say..smarter. lol. these sunnies have a clip on aspect too that I can turn them into sunglasses. Pretty cool huh.

suede shorts and a zipper top ...GENIUS!

I'd been wondering what to pair these suede Top Shop shorts with and when I got this amazing zippered top from the lovely ladies at P. Luca 4 Barami an instant outfit was born.

Outfit
Top: P. Luca 4 Barami Gifted
Shorts: Top Shop fashion steele at $30 get a similar pair here
Bag: Vintage thrifted from Brooklyn Flea Market
Necklace: Mango see it worn differently here
Ring: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Steven Madden Mercy

I got these shorts during that awesome summer sale at Top Shop a few months ago. Check out some of my fav other shorts here and here. I finally got my massive eyebrows waxed as well. It's amazing how much shaped brows can change your face!
This top is awesome because depending on how sexy or conservative I want to be I can zip it down the shoulders more or right up to my neck lol.

notice my lovely haircut that I got at Arrojo Salon is starting to grow out. I'm wondering if I should let it grow all the way out or recut it.
what do you all think?

Oh..and shout out to all the new readers. I appreciate all the comments and that you take time to read my blog!

Oh yes...I felt Fall in the air yesterday. I actually do like summer but I'm so done with sweating my hair into an afro. I like a little chill. I think 72 degrees is the peerrrrrrfect weather. Plus everyday that passes gets me closer to Fashion Week. Thus the happy dance in the last photo with the tune "Bam Bam Bambadum"

 (New York, New York in my head)

ha.

P.S.

I have the SICKEST giveaway coming up for fashion week or when I hit 500 followers which ever comes first!

the silver lining

it all started Friday afternoon. I took my small rolling suitcase to work that morning expecting to be hopping a 6:30pm flight to my home state of North Carolina for my brothers wedding on Saturday.

Well at precisely 1pm I get a call saying my flight is canceled O_o

I literally BURST into tears.

I scrambled to LGA airport in hopes of getting booked on something else.

LUCK!

Delta had a flight leaving later that night...

I wait...flight delayed, I wait...flight delayed I wait until midnight...Flight Canceled.

Again...I BURST into tears.

Delta replies they cant get me a refund and the earliest flight out Saturday would be at 7pm

Brothers Wedding: 6:30 pm

I break down into sobs...curse at some delta employees and make my way to American Airlines Terminal.

There I was confronted with several disgruntled employees who replied that they were closed and not taking anymore customers...basically a royal screw you I'm outta here.

After explaining my situation they get me a flight out at 2:30pm Saturday that would arrive at 4:30pm

Just in time for me to drive the hour and a half to my brothers wedding and make it right on time.



Outfit

Dress: BCBGeneration via Loehmanns see it worn here

Shoes: Steven Madden Mercyy

Bag: Vintage Thrifted

Well I made it to my brothers wedding and this is what I wore. I actually planned to wear this to a wedding last month but went with something else instead. Seeing my brother get hitched was definitely the silver lining during this whole ordeal. The exact same thing happened on the way back. Flight was supposed to leave at 3:45pm Sunday evening. I actually arrived/landed at Midnight today. O_o and didnt get home until 2am today.

IN TOTAL...i've spent most of the weekend at airports.

FML.

But I did get my Facebook Fanpage back so LIKE me please and thank you.
