Just Peachy

I decided to be as bright as the Los Angeles sun, but switched it up and made it a little peachy! I know summer is coming up, so I wanted to get all of my long sleeve shirts and leather out of the way. My peach blouse with the leopard print (Forever21) couldn't have fit better with my leather panel shorts (Forever21). My inspiration came from all the floral and print design one pieces I've seen celebrities rock. I know many people think its too matchy when the accessories (Aldo: earrings & purse Forever21 Michael Kors) and shoes (Aldo) are close to the same color of your outfit, but I don't care! I do what I want lol! Hope you enjoy!

Lavender Flower Doll

This weekend I was feeling cute and wanted to look like one of the dolls I had as a child. When I picked this lavender mini (Misguided) I pictured all the beautiful flowers I’ve had a pleasure of viewing while in California. In New York you’re only really able to see a ton of trees and concrete, so when I saw the different colored plants and flowers I could do nothing but take them in. We tend to appreciate things we don’t often see. I accessorized with this thin hand piece (Aldo) and this adorable clutch (Aldo), because the colors matched. I am never the one to wear shades (Forever21), I like showing my whole face lol, but these sunglasses just fitted with the dress and reminded me of the 60’s. To really complete the doll look I wore a pair of white chunky boots (H&M). Being as cute as a button and as light as a flower!

Vintage finds

  

I am a lover of everything thrift no matter the price, however, the point of thrift or wearing someone else's clothes, is supposed to be inexpensive. I love to visit Goodwill, Buffalo Exchange, or any vintage boutique I find while walking around New York or LA. One of my most recent finds was this printed blazer from Goodwill. It was super cheap with an amazing design and the best part about going vintage is there is a very little chance of someone else having it too. I am also a lover of Levis, so when I found these high-waisted cutoff Levis from a thrift boutique in New York right off of 14th street, I had to get them. Now time for the accessories! I was able to stop into Aldo and find this amazing hand piece for under fifteen dollars. My bracelets and long necklace of course, are from my favorite store Forever21 and lastly the heels are from Bakers, which I bought about four years ago! I call anything 3-10 years baby vintage lol!

Snoop Dogg and My Boyfriend's Jeans

I wanted to try this whole west coast living thing and decided to get a Snoop Dogg tee (Forever21) and live it up like a thug. When putting together my outfit I didn't want to do anything sexy, I wanted to be a  real thug ya know. Maybe I saw a tough guy from Compton come out at  me in the mirror when putting on my loose fitted white boyfriend jeans (Zara). The tee combined with the jeans meant I was clearly on some light gang bang business.  Although I was wearing lipstick (MAC), nonetheless, it was dark and scary kinda like a 'G' out on the prowl! When I walked around the streets of LA I was giving mean mugs left and right, of course after I creeped some people out I apologized with a "I'm just getting into character." I figured I can tap into acting or something today, after all we are in Los Angeles, so it makes it ok.

Janet, Miss Jackson If You're NASTY!!!

Just want to wish Janet Jackson a very Happy Birthday. Janet Jackson is an icon and a leading creator of everything sexy! The 90’s was the time I discovered Miss Jackson and I followed her light melodic voice and sex appeal right into the 2000's. Janet being black, beautiful, and courageous makes all artists who have come after seem so regular. We pay homage to Janet. She did raunchy, dance, and fierce and made it look so effortless.
