I debated with the idea of posting photos of my personal style for as long as I’ve been writing this site.. But after long deliberation..
I’ve decided to do it!
I am, as retail industry professionals call it, a cross shopper. I love contemporary fashion but often buy from fast fashion chains like Forever21 and H&M. If I am lucky and able to find a great deal on a high-end designer piece, as long as it’s season-less, it’s mine! I enjoy a great sale, I rarely buy anything outside of fast fashion, full price and I am constantly on the hunt for deal! I try to by items that will hang in my closet and be worn for years. I will keep you updated on my latest fab finds!
Alas… My first look…
Off to work: Brightening greys with hot Pink!
Marc by Marc Jacobs coat, H&M skirt, Banana Republic Blouse, Kelly&Katie Booties, Target Tights, House of Harlow Bracelet, Fover21 Belt and earrings.
I work in a casual office, jeans & tees are the standard look, but I like to dress up sometimes. I do not follow one style or trend nor do I follow celebrity style or tends, because they are not real. Most celebrities have a team of professionals working to create their persona and style.
I like to mix different ideas together. I love styling classic pieces with contemporary and trendy pieces.
Booties and Bracelet
Now I realize how hard these look photos are to create.. I appreciate all the other bloggers before me. You must have a dedicated buddy to be your photog in exchange for margaritas!! It takes a while to warm up to the camera and get the idea of obscene vanity out of your head!
House of glamorous evening wear.
Marchesa Fall 2010 @theCut
The sheer tattoo embellishment, adds a unique and risque flare to dress.

Love the peak-a-boo back on the fuchsia cocktail dress…
The old Hollywood Glamor of the gold gown,
makes me wish I had somewhere fabulous to go!

An inspiring collection from beginning to end!
I may loose a few of you when I write this…
But I wasn’t overly impressed…
Yes his design aesthetic was on-point: Black on Black, minimalism and if I may, scary thin models.
Alexander Wang F2010
I did like the incorporation of the destructed and reconstructed women’s suit.

The inclusion of rich velvets in navy, burgundy and of course black.
I finally had a chance to view some of the shows from
NYFW!
I always start with my go-to faves…
Then take the road less traveled…
One of my top favorite contemporary designers is Adam Lippes. I loved every look.. and it took a lot off effort to narrow down my top picks!
