Oh, Lita and Ostrich Bag...I want you.

Hey guys!

I REALLY hope I win this black ostrich satchel handbag off EBay tomorrow. I LOVE Ostrich Bags. It's one of my secret obsessions,really. This handbag is vintage and from Italy. It wont allow me to save or right click on the photo to show you guys what it looks like. From the picture, it looks a little dusty but I'm sure I can put a little leather cleaner on it to make it a little shiny and like new! It's in great shape and at a great price!

I have also been really obsessed with these Jeffrey Campbell Lita shoes in mint for a long time now. Seafoam green is my absolute favorite color and anytime I find clothing or accessories with that color, I have to buy it. It's such a rare color and you never get to see it on anything. I dont own a pair of Jeffreys but I hear they are comfortable and made of great quality! These shoes are about 5 inches tall and would put me at 6'3 with these on. My dream! I can wear these with high waisted jeans, with skirts, with shorts, with thigh high thin socks, with anything! They are so versatile. Olivia Vidato says I should just get them, don't overthink it and dont look back. I will trust her opinion and will just do it. I have nothing like this in my wardrobe and I cannot wait until these are in my closet! 

Girl takes a bohemian approach to the brown suede Litas. Very Cute!

More of a architectural feel. Pop of color in the handbag..very modern but I like.

Photos of some girls on the street wearing the Lovely "Lita" shoe from Jeffrey! Nobody really has the mint color, think its time for me to be the first...or at least the first online to wear them and take photos...

I've been dreaming about these shoes for months....

Josephine Baker in " Princess Tam Tam"

Wow! Josephine can really dance! She is so hypnotizing and I can't take my eyes away. I would've loved to have seen her perform live. So full of life and this movie scene is great. I love the cinematography of the guy on the bongos and her dancing and shaking. Its perfect! I heard she would never perform in venues that were segregated. She is amazing!  I need to try to find this movie on Netflix.

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?
