A Brooklyn gal and her current shopping obsessions

Hey everyone!

Currently under the weather (being congested sucks!) It's starting to finally go away, thank goodness!

The positive part of it was that I was able to sit still for once the last few days, looking over my current obsessions slash needs lol.  My style recently is become more about having that staple: the black leather skirt, the aviator sunglasses, and the gold ring are examples. However I also like to mix them up: the tiger print shoe, and the awesome tee that you just throw on and go! 



From Left

1. Doc Martens
2. Tom Bins
3. Yosi Samara ballet flat
4. Haute Hippie "You and Tequila Makes Me Crazy" tee
5. Nars Nail Polish-Chinatown color
6. Ray Ban Classic Aviators
7. Zara Tiger Wedge
8. Helmut Lang Leather Skirt
9. Leather Hobo Bag from The Cast

One thing that is consistent about my style is that my outfits are easy. I try to keep it chic, I'm not into forcing outfits (less is more). What are your current obsessions?

The Cast: The Authentic Rock 'N' Roll stop shop


Hey guys

Came across a great NY/Commerce site: The Cast.  The Cast is a lower east side Men's/Women's clothing label and retail shop. It is a go-to for anyone wanting an update in their wardrobe but want something authentic. The brand specializes in leather, denim, vintage, records, and other rock 'n' roll necessities. 



I purchased the Pirate Skull Cap tee yesterday, I can't wait to get it delivered this week to use for an outfit post:


A few more of their shirts, Madonna wore the "Bitch Club" tee recently. The prices are great!




They are known for their custom leather creations all made in New York City. I was drooling over this leather vest, that I plan to use my next commission check to get mid October. I love that the item can be personalized from the color, texture and buttons. I plan to get it in black, haven't worked out the other details yet. 
As I get older that I want garments that are unique and not what everyone else has but also I can wear 10 years from now. As a professional in the fashion industry and dealing with leather in the past this is a great price for a custom made leather piece :)

I had two people ask me about this Budweiser bathing suit when I posted on twitter. I hope they make more soon, I would love one myself!
