the darker the lipstick...

im still feeling my way through this dark lipstick phase of mine. once when i wore black nail polish a guy i was dating told me it weirded him out, like im a witch or something. i promptly told him that its a good thing he didn't have to wear it! i love black nail polish and im loving this very dark purple lipstick. it almost looks black. the darker the lipstick....the better. atleast for now. dont get it twisted i still love my very bright red lipstain but this is a close second for the Fall/Winter season.

here returns the pencil skirt. i swear i wear this skirt like twice a week. the perfect mixture of sophistication yet sexxxxxxy *in my beyonce voice*.
i actually wore this outfit on a night out with the girls in Harlem. We went to Red Rooster and then to Cove and then to Social Corner. It was fun but all the same i'd rather be home sometimes snuggled on my leather couch and watching Brown Sugar...my favorite movie. in fact...thats what im doing at this very moment while simultaneously drafting this blog post. i've also quickly burned through the 6 seasons of SATC followed by both movies. i have cabin fever bad.
everyone affected by the hurricane...you are on my mind.
and im doing well so thanks for all the love on twitter, instagram and all.
 
what do you like to do in your down time?

black is the new black

a few months ago i entered a contest at Joe Fresh and although I didn't win I was a finalist and won a $100 giftcard to shop my heart out. Joe Fresh is all about colorful basics.
i walked away with this black dress that i thought would be the perfect staple for my Fall wardrobe as well as a skirt and a sweater. can't believe sweater season is upon us...well actually its HERE but when i took these photos last weekend it was gorgeous.

Dress: Joe Fresh | Shoes: Steve Madden Hilight Sneakers | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C. Mini

this look is super chill and basic. i paired my Joe Fresh dress with my super comfy sneakers and Karen Walker sunnies! I actually have a pair of Karen Walker sunnies on sale at Shop Fashion Steele NYC so make sure to check it out! i have quite literally worn this dress once a week i love it so much. comfortable heavy fabric dresses like this one and
 fashionable yet comfortable shoes make me a happy girl. better show these gams off while i can because i have a feeling its going to be a harsh cold winter O_o

white leather skirt

there is one thing i've always always always wanted in my wardrobe that i never ever quite found...until now. that is a white leather pencil skirt. i didn't think they existed except on very expensive websites for over $500.
but one weekend not far ago while perusing the racks at Brooklyn Flea Market...
there it was.
it was perfect...supple leather, no stains, perfect length, split in the back with side panels
with a snake print feel.
and the kicker....she had pockets!

Top: H&M | Skirt: Vintage | Booties: Zara | Sunnies: Spitfire | Lip: Revlon Black Cherry
GET THE LOOK

i am so inlove with this skirt. i have so many ways to wear it brewing in my head.
for this outfit i went simple, clean and classic.
kinda with an Alexander Wang spin.
i paired the skirt with a long see through (in the light) black top from H&M and red Zara booties.
i really love the outcome...understated. and whats even more awesome is this skirt clocked in at exactly $50. it thats not a fashion STEELE i dont know what the hell is!
