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.

My little Confetti Dress
I woke up this morning and knew it was going to be a hot one
mixed in with a little bit of carefreeness. Being able to wear a dress is
something I absolutely love, especially when it’s super light and breezy. I
chose this black and white confetti dress from Forever21 because it was so
light and I love how my back has a chance to entice all those walking behind me
lol! My cowgirl boots were inspired by
old episodes of the Hills, those girls
always sported boots with their dresses. My boots are from Zara winter last
season and lastly, my basket weaved bag is
also from Forever21.

Light Blue and Pink Leopard....
I've only been in Los Angeles for about four days now and the heat has really kicked in. I'm hailing all the way from the big apple and yes it's still cold out there! Today I went out briefly and realized that I am not prepared for this Cali heat! As I digress, lol! I found the thinnest, light blue polyester shirt from H&M for under twenty dollars. I love it because it's a crop top but covers my belly, I know that doesn't make sense but just let me slide! I paired my H&M top with a skirt from Forever21 that I actually found last summer. I'm going to call that vintage lol! The skirt was also under twenty bucks. I know I sound like such a cheap girl but I love to bargain shop. I decided to keep the bag and shoes the same color because old women say you're supposed to do that, and I also loved mixing all the blues. The light blue shirt combined with dark blue shoes, which are from ZARA last summer season, and bag Forever21 just seemed right!
