Upgrades....

Ya’ll seen me rock the bomber time again, and I do love the classic look, I recently witnessed the power of throwing on a duster by accident. In an attempt to wear a spaghetti dress to a friend’s shower while combating the rain, I threw on this pink version of the jacket before heading to the party. What started out as just a Hail Mary turned out to be an amazing outfit, I felt amazing!  

I actually felt as though I was wearing my own superhero cape guys! 

Duster: Avec Les Filles (got the duster a while ago, it’s not online but there’s an alternative)

Dress: Forever 21

Shoes: Melissa Shoes

Got the hair did as well, it’s been bugging me how to elevate my look for a while and the folks over at Napp Star hooked it up with a drink, updated dye job, and this unique side braid.  

While it didn’t feel like spring, I wanted to have a natural glow, Glam by V didn’t disappoint. I’m usually very “safe” when it comes to hair and make up it was rad to let the legit professionals play around with my look. It’s another way for me to learn how to let go and stop overthinking and do it!  :)

Planning more outfit posts for the spring, well given Mother Nature it will probably go straight to summer ha ha! It’s great to be blogging again!

Anyone else did a major update to their look recently? Do tell!

Da Bomb Diggity

Yes currently it's really cold in NYC but given global warming (I tend to mention that in style posts a lot) I have learned to combine seasonless silhouettes together.  The bomber jacket is the right way to cover up in style whether it's 56 or 26 degrees.  I remember borrowing my older brother's bomber jacket in junior high school when I was in my super tomboy phase, add in gap overalls, timberlands, the infamous purple jansport book bag and I thought I was the bomb (cause I was!). Mid 90s in NYC the THING was to have a bomber jacket and it had to be from an Army/Navy store for additional street cred (legit ask any New Yorker who grew up mid-90s)

In 2017, I pair the bomber with a LBD (Little Black Dress) and red pumps, prefect for a night out.  Since it is cold right now...and I want to keep this realistic af haha. So if it was cold I would  pair this jacket with a turtleneck midi dress and sheer stockings.

The bomber jacket just adds a bit of a tomboyish touch to any look, given how hard it can be to look fashionable in the winter time (as it is important to keep warm) it's rad to see brands take the bomber jacket to the next level. Check out my winter pics below!

Blazer's Edge

Blazers are usually the staple for a work meeting, but the look is best dressed down IMO.  Add in a killer heel, a white tee and voila: THE WEEKEND OUTFIT!  I partnered with TOBI to try their latest collection.  What is best about TOBI is that they understand the 2017 woman is all about having a tight wardrobe as we are too busy traveling, donating to causes, and being the ultimate boss!

NAOMI WHITE CHOKER TEE

It's professional enough to get the job done but can be a conversation piece at 5pm happy hour.  I loved pairing it with my favorite pair of ripped jeans.  A great transition to the Fall season! 

Thank you TOBI for partnering with me in this post!

Are you guys excited for fall? What do you plan to buy?
