So I just love this outfit for summertime, especially for the office. It’s so hot outside that you can just throw on a sweater or blazer for that freezing air condition. I paired a neon yellow Joie blouse with cobalt blue silk Alexander Wang pants for a bright summer look. Of course, I’ve been wearing my neon yellow pumps (similar and on sale here) to add another pop of color to the outfit.
Perfect for summer!

I’m just loving plaid for Fall 2015. Since it’s still really hot this plaid cutout dress makes the perfect transition from summer to fall. I wore it with a simple purple clutch. I got it from a small shop in Soho and it’s no longer on the market but you should definitely check out this Alexander McQueen plaid dress, Rag & Bone jeans, and Equipment shirtdress.

Recently, I stopped by the new Vivrant Beauty Shop in Harlem for a quick look-through. I met Desiree, owner, who explained to me that most of her products are from black-owned companies. Her shop is full of products for women of color too and I just wanted to grab a handful of the stuff and try it! Brands like Briogeo, Helli Coily, Soultanicals and Oyin all are sold at the store. Most of them are natural products, free of toxic ingredients which is really important.
I wore my sequined lips t-shirt, a play off the Markus Lupfer shirts and a pair of ripped jeans (these Treasure & Bond are cool and these Current/Elliott). I paired it with vintage Manolo Blahnik grey booties and my Alexander Wang grey handbag (similar here).
So, we’re giving away a beauty gift bag! It’s full of beauty goodness: Girl Hair products, Eden Bodyworks Coco Shea Berry Natural Moisture Milk and Natural Smoothing Gel, Mario Badescu Skin Care Line, the most amazing soap from Flo + Theo, and other samples. Simply like our Facebook page, leave a comment on what you think about the shop, or follow us on Twitter!

So I was in Brooklyn this past weekend and just fell in love with beautiful street art. I felt like breaking out a can and carving out some wall space myself (my art). Too bad it’s still illegal. I have a feeling though that it doesn’t really matter in Bushwick. Anyway, enjoy!

I’m seeing blue again. And yellow. Loving this blue Sabo Skirt dress. Wore that and a new ear cuff. I love ear cuffs (similar here). They are so different and cool. Brooklyn!

So yesterday I did some shooting in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and found myself starving. So, I stumbled into a cute little corner place that looked delicious Pies and Thighs. I don’t know if it’s the title or the thought of chicken thighs but it grabbed me. I had to wait outside and found a tiny spot on the bench but man, was it worth the wait. It’s been beautiful out these last summer days, so make sure to enjoy it! I rarely talk about food on the blog but I just have to rave about Pies and Thighs. So I had the Chicken and Waffles. I know, chicken and waffles. Everyone serves chicken and waffles. But they had buckwheat waffles with cinnamon butter and poached blueberries. I’ve dreamed about it ever since I had it.
Anyway, I’m all about grabbing a Magnolia Bakery cupcake (or two lol) this weekend. Have a great weekend!

So I stumbled upon a few new furry fall finds. I can’t believe summer is almost over, can you? Well, we only have a month or so and September and that cool breeze will be back before you know it. Time is racing!
Anyway, I am really into this new Stella Jean faux fur vest. It looks like the perfect throw over to beat the breeze in the fall.
I’m also really into these Pierre Hardy purple leather, fur and snakeskin sneakers. They are a great way to make a major street style statement.
Last but not least, this Rochas Red Mohair and Calf Leather Zip Clutch will keep your hands warm in the Fall.
All of these are more are available in the Fashion Shop! Check it out and make sure to enjoy these last days of summer!

The other day I wore my favorite ‘racer’ dress that is perfect for summer along with my grey Lanvin sneakers (similar gunmetal sneakers here) and grey Alexander Wang handbag. We found this amazing graffiti wall in Harlem. I just love graffiti, is it still illegal?
