Scuse Me, What's Yo Name? Jigga Who?

I'm not hating this outfit one bit. Let me holla! Scuse me, what's yo name? Ok, let's really focus on the best part of the post. This outfit was inspired by the handsome camouflage sweatshirt. I've been in love with this pattern for awhile now and it's not going away so I keep making stuff with it so bare with me. I love giving the grey dress pants a more laid back look with sneakers, knit cap, and of course a sweatshirt. I updated the comfy sweatshirt look with leather shoulder detail and metal studs. Then keeping to the dress pants with a button down collar shirt underneath. Dressed up but not fussy. OUTFIT: knit cap; urban outfitters, button down shirt; nordsrtoms rack, dress pants; h&m, shoes; nike.

Black on black on black and a Little bit of this

When you can't hide under a sheer top or a cold shoulder, you can hide in your pockets. Your hands and little things like lip gloss, ID, or credit cards are well hidden in this tiny little skirt. And a skirt of this volume you might even be able to throw in a cell phone! Sometimes you just don't want to lug around a purse.

Glitz and Glamour

Remember the black sweatshirt with the small glitzy contrast pocket from the Bull's outfit? Of course you do! It was only my last post. When I saw this fabric I knew I had to do something big with it. The print is amazing. New Year's Eve was just around the corner so I had to do something for that. Yes it was a few weeks ago, so here is what I wore out. A high slit evening dress which you can wear as a halter style, off the shoulder, or single strap. Ooh la la. Oh, and see my NYE nails! Incredibly jeweled! Pointed shoulder bolero jacket; Papaya, platform heels; Bakers. Photos by Katie Ralston and Arturo Pulido.

Bulls fan, No Lie

 It's basketball bonanza today! All the big NBA teams are playing throughout the day. The game I'm for sure going to watch is the one at 2pm. The Bulls. I have to DVR it for later though because supposedly it's Christmas today and I have to be social.  No one tell me the results, please. I've become a fan since seeing one magical game Derek Rose played last season. From that moment on I have been checking if he will ever come back to play. But no, he's hurt. So here's to crazy looking Noah, Boozer, and Belinelli to put it in the basket more than the Rockettes today! About my outfit: Bulls cap, Adidas; beaded peter pan collar necklace and bracelet; santee alley; sweatshirt with a touch of me (pockets), H&M, Skirt; my creation.

Rainy Xmas Eve

Happy Holidays, everyone! If you don't feel like your in the Holiday spirit, dress accordingly and your mood will change! Time for some glitter, metallic, and shine in your life. Just don't go too dust fairy crazy and you'll be swell. Holidays are fun and so should be your outfit. The metallic stripe cropped long sleeve and brocade bow tie skirt, chain bracelets are made by moi. Clothing will be put up on my Etsy store for your purchasing pleasure soon!

Down By the Bleachers

Not much to say here. I didn't create anything in this outfit, just great styling if I can say so myself;)  Although I did take a Marylin Monroe-esque halter dress and chopped the top half off to be what is now a darling little pleated skirt. Having only worn the dress once, I didn't feel the dress was my style so I turned it into something that I now wear over and over. It was a chilly day and I LOVE layering so here's how you can stay cute and warm at the same time! OUTFIT: Black faux leather back pack; Urban Outfitters, grey fleece button up sweater; Target, white pin tucked blouse and tights; ZARA, brown belt; ALDO, pleated skirt (dress!); Forever 21, wedge; Bobbi Blu, braceletes/bangel; Bakers.

expected fashion unexpected fun

 
What a great concert I had the opportunity to attend courtesy of my friend Crispin. We went to see No Doubt at the Gibson Amphitheatre with Fitz and the Tantrums as the opening band. As Gwen is not only known and respected for her music, she is equally idolized as a fashion icon, I was excited to see what she would wear for the performance. But first things first, the opening band was really fun to get into during their performance. They gave so much energy especially the co-lead singer Noelle Scaggs. Woo, she worked the stage and the crowd like it was her last show. Also, I couldn't go without noticing how well the leading man Michael Fitzpatrick dressed. It's kind of a given you should be well outfitted if you are performing with Gwen Stefani. I love the jacket he wore and I needed  to get a photo of his jacket he was wearing but my phone couldn't capture it with dark from where we sat. Luckily I caught up with him after his show and was able to get a photo with him! what a great guy! Moving on to No Doubt, their show was so fun to say the least. I felt like I went back in time singing along with her the oldies that made No Doubt, No Doubt. She performed what seemed to be their entire show in a glittery black and white color blocked romper. At the end of a song they all went off stage as if the night was finished. A few minutes later as the fans persisitantly claps and cheers for an encore the band comes back out with a energizer instrumental number. Then she comes out with a second look! Of course, how could she only have one outfit for a show? I loved this outfit! So red devil! I loved her red tuxedo dropped crotch pants. I want it!! I found a few pieces similar to these awesome looks inspired by Michael and Gwen ready to wear!
