HAPPY VIOLET




THIS SILK DRESS WAS BURIED IN A PILE AT THE THRIFT STORE. I ALMOST RIPPED IT TRYING TO DIG IT OUT. NEXT WEEK MY POSTS SHOULD REFLECT THE COOLER WEATHER IN NEW YORK. MANY OF YOU HAVE COMMENTED ON MY HAIR. IT'S ACTUALLY A WIG! SYNTHETIC, TOO! AND THE LIPSTICK IS A LIP PENCIL FROM NICKA K COSMETICS NEW YORK CALLED HAPPY VIOLET. AS I PUT TOGETHER MY FALL WARDROBE, I REALIZE THAT ALL MY SHOES ARE ANKLE BOOTS. I NEED A PAIR OF TALL, PREFERABLY THIGH HIGH BOOTS AND THOSE CUTE MENS STYLE OXFORDS THAT HAVE BEEN POPPING UP EVERYWHERE. HAVE A BLESSED WEEK EVERYONE!

LAST DAYS OF SUMMER




I HAVE BEEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THESE LAST FEW DAYS OF SUMMER TO WEAR ALL MY FAVORITE SKIRTS AND DRESSES. IN THIS CASE A SKIRT WORN AS A DRESS. IT'S SILK AND FROM JONES NEW YORK. I ALWAYS GRAVITATE TOWARDS SILK PRINTS BECAUSE THE COLORS ARE USUALLY MORE INTENSE. I BELTED IT WITH A GRAPHIC PRINT BELT FROM THE THRIFT STORE. UNFORTUNATELY, THESE ZARA SANDALS ARE QUITE PAINFUL. I CAN ONLY WEAR THEM WHEN I CAN HOP IN A CAB. ON ANOTHER NOTE I AM THINKING OF GOING TO FASHION WEEK FOR SOME PEOPLE WATCHING BEFORE IT'S OVER. HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A WONDERFUL WEEK.

NO WHITE AFTER LABOR DAY




ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE FROM TIME.COM "WHY WE CAN'T WEAR WHITE AFTER LABOR DAY", "THE ORIGIN OF THE NO-WHITE-AFTER-LABOR DAY RULE MAY BE SYMBOLIC. IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY, WHITE WAS THE UNIFORM OF CHOICE FOR AMERICANS WELL-TO-DO ENOUGH TO DECAMP FROM THEIR CITY DIGS TO WARMER CLIMES FOR MONTHS AT A TIME: LIGHT SUMMER CLOTHING PROVIDED A PLEASING CONTRAST TO DRABBER URBAN LIFE". BY LABOR DAY (THE END OF SUMMER) DARKER FALL CLOTHING WOULD REPLACE THE LIGHTER SUMMER CLOTHES. "BY THE 1950'S...THE CUSTOM HAD CALCIFIED INTO A HARD-AND-FAST RULE". HOWEVER, THE FASHION ELITE, SUCH AS MADAME CHANEL HERSELF, RESISTED THIS COCKAMAMIE RULE BY MAKING " WHITE A YEAR-ROUND STAPLE". I DON'T BELIEVE IN FOLLOWING ANY RULES WHEN IT COMES TO FASHION. WEAR WHATEVER MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF. ENJOY THE WEEKEND!

LILAC HUE





SO ZARA IS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE. THANKS. I WILL GO BROKE IN NO TIME. I GOT THESE SHOES DURING THE SUMMER ZARA SALE FOR $30. THEN I PROCEEDED TO 3 OTHER ZARA STORES IN SEARCH OF MORE SHOE BARGAINS, BUT THEY NEVER HAD MY SIZE. I AM WEARING A TEE SHIRT DRESS, ZARA SHOES AND A VINTAGE CHANEL BAG.

BOKEH



I GOT A NEW LENSE! YAY! IT WAS TO CREATE BACKGROUND BLUR (BOKEH). UNFORTUNATELY, THAT ONLY OCCURS ON CLOSER SHOTS. NAY! AND MY INTERNET SERVICE IS ERRATICALLY SPOTTY AND FRUSTRATING. OH WELL. ANYWAY, I GOT THIS H&M DRESS FROM A THRIFT STORE FOR $5! WE SHOT THESE PHOTOS LATE NIGHT IN FRONT OF A WALL THAT APPEARED TO HAVE A BUILT IN PHOTOSHOP EFFECT. I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A WONDERFUL LABOR DAY! ALSO, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SWEET COMMENTS. THEY REALLY DO MEAN A LOT!
