Hail Mary

i remember when Tupac was pronounced dead. I remember I cried like a baby. I also cried when Biggie and Aaliyah passed as well. My childhood plays out to Tupac's greatest hits. I remember watching the movie Juice and Poetic Justice and thinking my God...he is a fine fine man. So when I came across this top at Forever 21 I had to get it. Poetic Justice though...that was my MOVIE!

Top: Forever 21 | Skirt: H&M | Shoes: Sole Society | Sunnies: Spitfire

GET THE LOOK

 

since the top is so hard (excuse the pun), I paired it with the frilliest thing I have which is this tulle skirt from H&M that I've had for a few years. You can see it worn similarly here. speaking of movies, I have been on a movie kick. Mostly because my beau hasn't seen any of my classic favorites. He's not American. Anywho over the past two weeks alone we've watch Brown Sugar, Coming to America and Boomerang an I'm happy he loved them all....especially Coming to America. Now I just have to tackle to Disney movie classics.

On the 3

so on my way to Licoln Center yesterday me and my photog made it to the station just in time to see the train close its doors and roll away. Mind you the clock said the train wasn't supposed to leave for another 2 minutes. Thus we had a whole 13 minutes to burn until the next train. Yes..I whole heartedly hate the MTA mostly on weekends when service slows down instead of speeding up! The weekend is when people go out and need to be places on time...like the 5th ave Zara and Lincoln Center! lol. But I digress. So we had forever wait and an empty train cart so we did an impromptu outfit shoot! This is what I wore Day 3 of New York Fashion Week. Stay tuned for that post later today.

 

 

 

 

 

Sweater: Top Shop | Skirt: H&M | Coat: Zara | Bag: Marc Jacobs | Boots: Vera Wang | Belt: Thrifted

 

 im not gonna front, when I first saw this sweater (last year in like October) I got it soley to wear to Fall New York Fashion Week. I knew exactly how I wanted to wear it too...lol. I know I am seriously type A and a little fashion week crazy. It worked out perfectly too because with the snow as a backdrop at Licoln Center I felt like I was light and airy too. It's been so much fun covering the shows and meeting new people. It's always kinda like a reunion of sorts. I will never get tired of it. Although my right pinky toe was done with fashion week 2 days ago.
