My Jem Moment

Hey everyone!

Summer is coming to an end, I am not really sad about it.. it was a great summer the best I had in a very long time.  The weather was gorgeous, I got into a lightsaber battle, and found myself thriving in my new position. I am looking forward to fall, wearing my leather jackets again, NY Fashion Week, Pumpkin Spiced Lattes, Sports (Knicks and Giants fans stands up), and NY Comic Con!

I have been holding on to this dress since the springtime and I finally had a chance to wear it for a dinner meeting last week. The dress is vintage from Loveday31, I spotted it on their Instagram feed and immediately asked if I can purchase it on the phone. No real occasion for it at the time, I just know I wanted a piece like that in my closet for something! The dress is rad and different from what I had in my closet: not many brights. 

The dress also reminds me of what would Jem and the Holograms wear if they were in 2014? Mines a more sophisticated version lol, where do I sign up?

Dress: Loveday31, Shoes: Nasty Gal, Bracelet: David Yurman, Sunglasses: Ran-Ban, Clutch: Phillip Noel

I always pair a dress that has so much color in it with accessories that are on the muted side.  That's a personal styling tip of mine when wearing a printed dress or mixing prints go muted on accessories.  My Phillip Noel clutch is my go to staple a style that can be worn all year round, I am getting a bright color from his growing collection this fall!

I am looking forward to labor day weekend: oysters, Sin City 2, and fall shopping are on the agenda.   The goal is to relax and have fun, no thinking allowed since I start grad school next week and it's also NY fashion week, ha! Exciting and hectic at the same time! Truly Outrageous! 

How is everyone else enjoying the last days of summer? Any plans for fall? Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!

Into The Mind Vol #1

Hey guys!

I decided to start this Polyvore set series "In to The Mind" which will showcase my current mood,  my favorite things, items I want, motivational images, aka whatever I am thinking of at the moment haha! I'm a Gemini and a creative mess that is why this is a series!

With pre-Fall email blasts in every other day and the recent coverage of San Diego Comic Con the first board represents my wants for the next few months.  Turning 30 a few months ago, I am working on getting more timeless pieces then ultra trendy pieces: the leather pant, the menswear watch to name a few. And... a secret purchase that I will debut in the Fall :) lol TREATYOSELF! 

 

I downloaded Girlboss by Nasty Gal Founder/CEO Sophia Amoruso.  The book has received great reviews so I am looking forward to it.  Sophia is such a BOSS it is inspiring for me to see how far she has come as I started going into business for myself. 

That sums up Into The Mind Vol #1, what is on your mind?

The Next Level

Hey guys!

It's about time I got an outfit post out!  I didn't expect my summer to be so busy with all the new projects I am working on but life has a funny way of changing plans!

Summer is usually about white denim but check out these skinnies from Level 99? Level 99 is a premium women’s denim collection specializing in high tech fabrics and advanced wash processes.  They were so nice to send me their best selling Lily Skinny Straight from their collection.   

 I took this jean out for a spin while running errands early Saturday morning:

The Lily fit has been seen on Jessica Alba and Alessandra Ambrosio.  

What I like most about the jeans besides the casual fit is the fact the as a vintage look.   The jean can also transition into Fall 2014 paired with a tissue weight t-neck and leather jacket #winning!

Want more denim looks shop Level99!
