An Angel Has Her Wings

There is so much I could say about Ruth Saint Fleur (or Ruthie as I like to call her). I honestly do not know where to being. I met her so long ago and we quickly became friends. In and around New York club scene party hopping. I remember we would get dressed at my house and she would show me awesome ways to put together my old outfits with a new flair. That girl has always had an eye for fashion and has been formatting forever. I do not know where she got it from perhaps it was indeed a blessing from God but she can turn scape into the hottest thing popping. We would go from club to club just dancing to the music. It was always about the music. People would always compliment her on what she was wearing and she never mind telling them that she made it and how she made it. He love and passion for things artistic was so beautiful. I remember when we lived together. It really seemed like just yesterday. She lived with me three separate times all for long periods. I never mind. I truly enjoyed her company. She was my voice of reason at times and it only took her one sentence to relay logic with my ability to fully understand the message. I never knew about thrifting before Ruthie came along. We would go on daylong journeys spending hours in the theft store looking for awesome buys. She always knew my personality so if she saw something extraordinarily me she would indeed grab it. Ruthie inspired my vintage style that I still occasionally embrace it. She knew I love old black and white movies and would helped put together a wardrobe that inspired old Hollywood glamour. That girl never questioned me! She would just come along only crazy adventures through New York City. I guess I entertained her a bit with my quirkiness and she never judged me. However, she did indeed have a vision. She was destined to be the top fashion designer of the universe. She would meticulously show for materials and she began putting together a collection I do not know how to quite spell it but it was "Jevons Elise". She never let anything get in her way and always stayed positive In addition, through the years she acquired a rather swanky vintage collection. Which she sold on various sites. This past January she asked me to help edit her blog and to help brand it. Humanity is beautiful is just not a blog it is a cause. Ruthie saw beauty in everything. I will try my best to keep her to make her dreams come true. Sleep well my Fashion Princess

PARDON THE INTERRUPTION

i will be back shortly. just making some exciting changes to the blog.

CAMO

a neutral mix of prints. what does that mean? who knows. that was the best way i could describe this. happy weekend!

TRENCH

i have been wearing this trench with everything. do you have a piece you love to wear?

HORSES

i think the horse was trying to eat and i got too close. they were shooting a movie and i absolutely had to take a picture. he was not too pleased...

FALL

i am getting ready for fall by wearing more color. do you like it?

STRIPES

stripes are in. i think. i always get confused when magazines deem something in or out. as far as i am concerned it's in if you choose to wear it. right?

PLAID

a crop top AND a flash of thigh. oh, my. an attempt at sexiness without vulgarity. did it work?

SHOEMINT

these are my new shoes from shoemint. you will be seeing them a lot. a lot.

HATS

i love hats. i once left one in the backseat of someone's car. i still remember it. that was more than 10 years ago. that's how much i love hats.

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

there is palpable excitement at the gates of lincoln center because the fashion interpreters are out in full force. the simplicity of a skirt or a dress is rendered magical in the hands of the wearer. symmetry and proportion create languid lines in almost every outfit. complimentary accessories punctuate for maximum effect. welcome to new york city.

SUMMERTIME SADNESS

the vivid colors and mixed prints will soon be put away. the paradigm will shift and the all black uniforms will come out. such is the new york city fashion scene. well maybe not a paradigm shift, but you know what i mean. the thing is black is functional during the cooler months. it's easy to throw on a black coat with everything. this year things might be different. here's to hoping.

TWO STYLES TWO

two very different styles that i find quite appealing.

CAMERA SHY

i have never experienced fashion week. shocking, right? this year i plan to partake in the festivities. i don't have any invites, but i hear there is a gathering of fashionistas outside of lincoln center waiting to be photographed. i will be there in full fashiontastic regalia photographing and hopefully photographed. will you be there?

TWO STYLES

i love the overtly masculine and the extremely feminine.

RED JACKET

i love red. what are your favorite colors? i also love blue, green, purple and lilac.

THE KARATE KID

wax on. wax off. i love that movie! i am on my way to soho to do a little shopping. the sales are calling me! happy weekend, lovelies!

CROP TOPS

crop tops are here to stay(i think)

CANADIAN TUXEDO

i am slightly obsessed with denim on denim. seriously. i picture it with everything. jeans, shorts, skirts, pumps. i get excited just imagining how i will layer the combination in the fall. have a lovely week, lovelies!

POP PRINT

there are things you see in a store that grab your attention. this top was one of those things.
