HOLIDAY PARTY

DURING THE WEEKEND I ATTENDED A HOLIDAY PARTY WITH AN 80'S THEME. SO I THREW ON A LEATHER JACKET (BACKWARDS) A BELT, CUFFS, THIGH HIGHS AND PINK LIPSTICK. WELCOME (BACK) TO THE EIGHTIES!

A SHIRT A SKIRT AND BOOTS

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A LOVELY THANKSGIVING! REMEMBER TO GIVE THANKS EVERY DAY, NOT JUST ON TURKEY DAY. HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND, EVERYONE!

NO LABELS

QUICK OUTFIT POST! I LOVE THIS SKIRT BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE IT'S FROM AND IT HAS NO TAG. OH, WELL. HAVE A LOVELY WEEK, EVERYONE!

THRIFTING 101

WHEN YOU SHOP AT A THRIFT STORE ALWAYS LOOK FOR HIGH QUALITY TEXTILE (CLOTH, FABRIC). LEATHER IS ALWAYS A GOOD CHOICE BECAUSE IT CAN BE EASILY MANIPULATED. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WEAR IT, TURN IT INTO A CLUTCH.

THE BEER PROJECT

SO THE BEER PROJECT DID NOT COMPLETELY REMOVE THE RELAXER FROM MY HAIR. YOU HAVE TO APPLY THE BEER MORE THAN ONCE. BUT GUESS WHAT? IT MAKES YOUR HAIR SUPER SOFT AND MANAGEABLE. IF YOU ARE TRANSITIONING TO NATURAL HAIR, THIS IS QUITE MAGICAL AND IDEAL. IT MAKES IT EASIER TO COMB THROUGH THE NATURAL ROOTS OF YOUR HAIR WITHOUT BREAKING THE FRAGILE RELAXED PART. ONE DAY I WILL SHARE WHAT I HAVE LEARNED THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR AND FROM ALL THE WONDERFUL NATURAL HAIR BLOGS. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

BEFORE THE SUN SET

I WORE THIS OUT LAST NIGHT. WE SHOT A FEW PICS BEFORE THE SUN SET BECAUSE I STILL NEED TO FIGURE OUT NIGHT SHOTS WITH THE NEW LENS. ANYWAY, I JUST SOAKED MY HAIR IN BEER! WHY, YOU ASK? WELL, I AM TRYING TO GO BACK TO NATURAL (HENCE THE WIG) AND MY MOM TOLD ME THAT BEER REMOVES THE RELAXER OUT OF YOUR HAIR! THE ROOTS ARE COMPLETELY NATURAL, BUT THE REST IS STILL STRAIGHT. YOU HAVE TO APPLY THE BEER BEFORE YOU WASH IT. I USED HEINEKEN AND THE JANE CARTER SOLUTION PRODUCTS TO SHAMPOO AND CONDITION. I AM WEARING A DIY DECONSTRUCTED SHEER PLEATED DRESS, REBECCA TAYLOR BOOTS, NINE WEST LEATHER JACKET AND A VINTAGE CHANEL BAG. WILL REPORT BACK NEXT WEEK ABOUT BEER IN HAIR! ENJOY THE WEEKEND, EVERYONE!

PEPLUM

EVERYTHING I HAVE ON IS FROM A THRIFT STORE, EXCEPT THE SHOES. IS IT BECOMING OBVIOUS THAT I LOVE TO THRIFT? THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN A DAY AFTER THE FREAK SNOW STORM THAT HIT NEW YORK LAST WEEK. EVER SINCE, IT HAS BEEN UNUSUALLY WARM. NO COMPLAINTS HERE. IF ONLY IT COULD LAST. ENJOY THE REST OF THE WEEK, EVERYONE!

THE DARK KNIGHT

THE EASIEST THING TO WEAR IS ALL BLACK. IT IS MY GO TO UNIFORM. SINCE STARTING THIS BLOG, I HAVE PUSHED MYSELF TO WEAR MORE COLOR. HOWEVER, I STILL FALL BACK TO BLACK WHEN GETTING DRESSED. THE KEY IS TO MIX TEXTURES AND FABRICS. LEATHER SLEEVES WERE A UBIQUITOUS PART OF THE FALL RUNWAY SO I DIY'ED MYSELF A PAIR. ACTUALLY, I WAS TOO LAZY TO ATTACH THE SLEEVES, SO I JUST THREW THE LONG VEST ON TOP OF A FAUX LEATHER JACKET. GOD FIRST AND STAY BLESSED, EVERYONE!

KNITTED

IT BECOMES A PROBLEM FOR ME WHEN THE TEMPERATURE TAKES A NOSEDIVE. SUDDENLY, THE CUTTING UP OF ALL MY PANTS (JEANS AND OTHERWISE) DURING THE SUMMER LEAVES NOT MANY OPTIONS IN MY WARDROBE. LUCKILY, KNITS IN DRESS AND SWEATER FORMS ARE MY GO TO. THIS LITTLE NUMBER IS FROM THE THRIFT STORE. THE BAG IS SONIA RYKIEL AND THE STUDDED ANKLE BOOTS ARE FROM A RANDOM SHOE STORE IN BROOKLYN. ENJOY THE REST OF THE WEEK, EVERYONE!

BAD BLOGGER

I THINK I AM BACK FOR GOOD. PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THE LACK OF POSTS. I APPRECIATE ALL THE LOVELY COMMENTS AND I WILL MAKE UP FOR THE MISSING MONTH BY POSTING ALL WEEK. THIS OUTFIT IS A ROBE WORN BACKWARDS AS A DRESS. I THINK THIS WOULD QUALIFY AS AN ANKARA PRINT. I AM NOT SURE. OF COURSE, IT'S THRIFTTED. I BELTED IT WITH A VINTAGE BELT AND ADDED MY NEW FAVORITE REBECCA TAYLOR SUEDE THIGH HIGH BOOTS. I AM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK! GOD BLESS!
