POLISHED ONYX

Happy Thursday!

I know what ya’ll are thinking. “Shorts in winter time? Have you lost your mind?!” As I mentioned in my previous post, the weather in NYC has been a bit crazy. I took advantage of one of the warmer days to wear these leather bermuda shorts.

I figured it was the perfect time to wear these shorts. To be completely honest, I do not wear these in the summer time— the lining on them is pretty thick and I would just melt away lol. They are bermuda shorts so they are passed my knees. I decided to pair them with high boots to create a more extended outline around my legs.

Those who know, know how much I love turtle necks and extended neck tops. Apart from being warm, they are a perfect layering pieces.

Cool Summer

Hi'ya! I've been enjoying summer and trying to get out of my shell. I had the opportunity to attend Afro Punk this year for the very first time. I really enjoyed myself. There was great music and style! I was also able to Eryka Badu perfrom *my life is complete* lol!

The Suede jacket

Hi my loves!

Suede has been very popular and trending over the last few months and although I know it may seem like a fall staple, it's great for spring! 

Suede jackets are light and will keep you warm without giving you that bundled up look. 
This one is from boohoo Click

Carrot Top

Hi my loves!
I teamed up with photographer Ben Kulo (click) for this amazing shoot. 

I've been a huge fan of Shrimps since I was in high school. For their Fall/Winter 15 collection they showcased a pvc trench coat with a bright yellow fur collar and I thought to myself "I NEED TO GET MY HANDS ON ONE!" When I found this trench coat at a thrift store for $15, I immediately thought of this DIY project!  I attached my orange fur collar from Boohoo and wallahhh-- my own version of Shrimps' beautiful trench coat.

FAUX FUR COLLAR

Hi loves! 
We are in December but the weather has been playing with us! Lately it's been kind've warm but slowly but surely the temperature has been dropping. The winter season is the perfect time of year to wear faux fur. With so many options and a wide variety of styles, faux fur can be dressed up for a night out and dressed down. 
I wore this outfit yesterday to hang out with my two friends Adalgisa and Shannel. I put this outfit together really quickly because Ada was waiting for me. I love the simple beige coat with the faux fur collar, it just finishes the look and adds that POP that I love.

Active Casual wear

Hi my loves!
It's officially Fall and I am loving it! Ya'll know this is my favorite season. Today I pulled out my Adidas to hang out with some friends in the neighborhood. I want to start incorporating more sneakers into my wardrobe and when I saw these babies, it was love at first sight. I paired these with my American Apparel harem pants and an oatmeal colored pullover which is perfect for the season. I feel like i'll be living in this, I have it in 2 colors and plan on getting more!

NYFW: CARLEEN SS17

Hi my loves! 

I am kicking off fashion week with the CARLEEN Spring/Summer 17' presentation. The theme of this collection is patchwork meets poolside. While looking at this collection, the delicate hues of blue stood out to me as well as the intricate quilting patterns, giving me a very nostalgic feeling of afternoons in the Dominican Republic by my aunt's pool.

Independent Soul

Hi my loves!

I have been trying to blog more often but it is super hard as I have been extremely busy lately. 

I absolutely love this look. This is a look I wore to visit family members. It's very comfortable and relaxed. 

For this look I used a skirt as a head wrap. Hahaha, talk about resourceful. This skirt is super long and wide which means you can create an unlimited number of styles.

Reality Check

Hello my loves!
I am back in New York from my getaway to Dominican Republic and to be honest, I didn't want to come back. I mentioned a few blog posts ago that when I travel back home I come back a new version of myself. Visiting puts things into perspective. I had a reality check while I was there. Sometimes we put our dreams aside because we get distracted in our daily life. In my case, I had been putting my career as a Wardrobe Stylist to the side because I was caught up in everything else. I realized I needed to do what makes ME happy, even if that means taking a risk. 

I'm truly obsessed with these culottes from Olly Oxen Free Vintage, not only are they chic but they go with pretty much anything. I took them with me all over my trip, hahaha! I even wore these on my birthday.

Classic Twist

Happy Thursday, I hope everyone had an amazing week. 
Crop tops have a nostalgic place in my heart. When I look at old pictures of my family members or celebrities in the 90's  there's a part of me that wishes I could somehow jump into a time machine and live that era. I'm a huge fan of crop tops because they are a perfect match with high waisted bottoms being that 90% of my bottoms are high waisted. I usually wear my shirts tucked in, but crop tops are a classic twist.

Happy Friday!
So ya'll know I love to mix prints and color block but, Monochromatic dressing is so much fun and super trendy! Cobalt blue is definitely THAT color. It's bold, vibrant and classic.

Seasons Change

Hi my loves!
I realized that I talk about the weather in New York a lot on here but that's because it has a big influence when putting together an outfit. One day it's beautiful, the next it's freezing! Now that Spring is somewhat here, I wanted to give you guys a nice spring look. I really like the all white with the layer of nude. It just feels so clean.
