Fake An Attitude

I would like to go on a feather shouldered, low cut/sequin leotard dancing tour with this girl.Seriously....

UPDATE! I found her on twitter and we talked for a little bit through some tweet exchanges! She is super sweet and adorable! Her tweets were part English and part French. Thanks to my middle school teachers and some family members for teaching me some French basics...that I was able to understand it(which reminds me I need to get started on my French lessons via podcasts very soon).Her dream is to go on tour in the U.S. I told her to make it happen because she is amazing and I'm sure she would turn the U.S. out! It really made my day!

Flying Overseas

With a recommendation from one of my NOLA friends, I checked out this video and artist about 2 months ago. Since then my life has been forever changed! This is one of my favorite songs by Theophilus. Theophilus London is what Kid Cudi wishes he could be. Not only is the cinematography of this video is beautiful but have you seen the styling for this video? Theophilus wears a bright colored Navajo printed button down and buttoned high on his neck, nude colored top hat and trousers cuffed at the ankles!  Who is this kid? I am obsessed and his music is amazing! I have both his albums, which I surprisingly bought on Itunes and did not download illegally. The girl is his video is a model on asos.com and I need her floral printed ruffled crop top in my life! This video is great! It truly shows the love between two people who have been away from each other in a while. I think the lyrics and video is very romantic and sweet, especially coming from a Brooklyn rapper. I wish my life was like this video... running around on the beach in cute outfits,drinking champagne and having a picnic. I can only hope right?

What an amazing way to put on a "fashion show!"

Popsicle Day

Grey Dress: Alternative Apparel, Chrome Leather Bucket Bag: Thrifted!, Gold Watch: UrbanOutfitters.com

I've been hearing Atlanta people talk about this "King of Pops" popsicle shop constantly for the last year. I always say, " Today is the day I go,"or "No today is the day"..and of course it never happens because I sometimes become easily distracted by something else. So I finally went on a random stop with my friend Chelsea C. and we had the time of our lives just eating the popsicles outside the shop on Ponce De Leon and N Highland. I decided to get the Coconut Tangerine while Chelsea got the Strawberry Lime. My popsicle had actual tangerine chunks inside and hers had strawberry seeds! It's two brothers that makes the popsicles straight out of there kitchen, the flavors change everyday with combos such as Mojito, Chocolate Bar,Strawberry Basil and Lemon Mint.King of Pops is a BIG PHENOMENON IN ATLANTA! I now see why! These popsicles are delicious, full of flavor and just makes great photos! I am devoting my life to " King of Pops" at least once a week by treating my self to a popsicle. AT LEAST.... Please excuse my dress down day part 2 in these photos. I have been losing lots of sleep from school and extra hours at work.

P.S. Yes we did play in the flower garden to shop for "potentials" to be apart of our balcony decor. I didn't leave with anything...

Solange "Miss Amazing" Knowles

OH. MY. GAH!  Is there anything that Solange can put on and not be amazing? I mean that necklace! That turban! Those platforms! That jacket are  in my dreams! She is amazing... I wonder if she has a stylist? But I'm not going to lie to you guys, I used to hate her just as much as her drag queen sister( who I now love also). She used to be an average girl wearing  extensions, ruffled tops jeans and heels. BORING! But someone must have told/ taught Solange something about a year or two ago. It first started when she shaved her head and she just went uphill from there.

 She is now DJing all around Brooklyn(which my lovely friend Olivia, remnantsofstyle.blogspot.com/ had a pleasure of seeing her at Brooklyn Bowl last year). Miss Amazing, I mean Solange, shops frequently at Boxing Kitten(boxingkitten.bigcartel.com/. Boxing Kitten is one of my favorites because the designer travel internationally for all these amazing african and geometric prints, dyes and sew the fabric  into dope rompers,shirts, and dresses and sells straight out of her apartment!

 Solange is also best friends with Jeremy Scott, M.I.A., and Kesh, all of my favorite people in the industry. Yes I do stalk her twitter and look around constantly online to get inspired by her daily outfits.  Her music is not really my cup of tea but her new way of doing things and being in the spotlight has truly grown on me and I would like to see more. Who would've thought I would be inspired by Solange Knowles style?

Ive been without a fully charged camera for almost 3 months, but Im back! Here some photos to tie you over until I complete all the changes. I already started editing old posts and changing colors  and fonts around on the layout, so keep an eye out...Will explain everything later!

Happy Spring!

Valentine's day and photoshoot

Valentine's Day is one holiday I'm usually never excited about. Grocery stores are covered in pink and red. Everywhere I go offers Valentine's Day Specials. Sappy movies are shown for the whole week. and I never had a Valentine's day Date before....in my whole life. ok maybe once but that's it. I either had no boyfriend at the time or we broke up a sometime before. Sucks but its the truth.  Last year, one of my close friends from high school came to visit me for Valentine's Day/ Her Birthday and we ended up going get Thai food and drinks. We just talked about life and our past relationships. It was really fun just catching up and cracking up about what we did in high school. I didn't I have a date this year, so I'll probably do the same thing as last year, gather a group of girls together, grab some really good food, drink a little too much and just enjoy V-Day as just another day in February. No reason to sulk about it. Wear what you want and just enjoy yourself.

I started working on this post a week ago and I just didn't find too many awesome Vday outfits online and coincidently today, I received the link of the finished product of the photoshoot/stop motion film I did two weeks ago! So I just decided to screw the original vday posts and just let the video be posted for today's post. I think it goes great for Valentine's day and for this blog in general. I had lots of fun doing this shoot and glad I was able to work with some talented people. The styling, makeup and clothes are all me. Thanks to Nicole, Kathryn, Michael, and Callen for asking me to be apart of this. Enjoy!
