Beautiful Crop-Top Christian Siriano Spring NYFW 2027 Dresses

Hey there, how are you all doing? Ah, fashion month! I recently came across some gorgeous crop-top dresses from Christian Siriano on the runway for Spring 2027. The style really pushes the limit for casual vs. evening wear. He’s been pumping out fabulous looks ever since he was on Project Runway in 2007. Crop tops and bandeau tops have been a prominent trend for a long time. And, whether you have washboard abs or not, the style can be cute. I came across a video by Carl Curry who is the Sales Director of Christian Siriano that captured some of the dresses. Would you wear the look to a spring event?

What The F*cK Hell Been Goin On

   

Hey y’all, how are you doing? Know it’s been a while. What the f*ck hell been going on you say? Everything. I’ve been keeping it low key this summer. A few trips to the beach with my boo, dog park with my Vivi and throwing down in the kitchen. Still running from a domestic violence offender I saw a a few times in 2011. Chile. There’s a lot of R. Kelly’s out there, the police turn often turn a blind eye and expect women and children to fend for themselves until there’s some kind of public outcry. 

Other than that, I’ve been wearing jean shorts because it is extremely hot in Florida. Also, copped this ALC Simone Studded Leather handbag which is actually on sale. Paired it with this denim Good American dress that has proved to be a really good buy. This past weekend I went out to a new club downtown and wore this cute JLorraine Designs polka dot jumpsuit. It was so comfortable and cute. I also pulled out my Sammy B. butterfly crop top and recently wore this cute see-through Fashion Nova bodysuit for my birthday this past April. It was cute for the occasion. Shout out to Elisabetta’s Ristorante downtown, their pasta and food is delicious. Peep more photos below. What have y’all been wearing in this heat?
 

Cute Pink Area Crop Top and a Yum Green Waffle

       

How are yall doing? So I just love bubble tea. Came across it for the first time while living in Manhattan, New York. Anyway, I went by one of my favorite bubble tea spots Art of Boba today in my cute pink Area crop top. I paired it with some denim shorts and my vintage Christian Louboutin pink booties. I’ve been so busy but wanted to share my outfit of the day. The crop top is actually 50% off in the fashion shop and it’s truly a quality statement piece. Love the razzle dazzle of the diamond necklace. 

There are some other cute pieces in the fashion shop, make sure to check it out. And, if you are ever in South Florida, stop by Art of Boba for the green waffle and a black milk bubble tea. Talk with y’all later!

Sammy B. crop top

This summer I’ve been wearing my vintage Sammy B neon green crop top. It’s perfect for the heat and fashion-forward enough to get you noticed. She makes a lot of fun clothes but pay attention, they sell out fast. Sammy B. did Project Runway and has been churning out exciting fashions ever since. Would you do a crop top?

Tanya Taylor Crop Top and Rag & Bone Jeans

So I’ve made a big move. I’m now living in Florida but while still in New York I got together with Mariya for some shots. The weather was warm (hence the Tanya Taylor crop top that I found on sale). It’s hot in Florida so I can wear this outfit almost all year! 

These Rag & Bone Simone Denim Pants have been put to great use ever since I got them. They’re light and cute. I just love a dark wash. I paired them with my vintage blue suede Giuseppe Zanotti pumps (similar Manolo Blahnik BB pumps here) and my vintage Marc Jacobs blue handbag. Check out the rest of the photos below!

Summer Casual: African Print Jumper at the MTV VMAs 2013 Song of the Summer Celebration with Jason Derulo and Timeflies

This week I attended one of the MTV VMA Song of Summer Celebration Concerts with Jason Derulo and Timeflies at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Summer casual was the name of the game as the summer heat made its way ‘back’ to the city. I did my favorite Bebe African Print jumper and Christian Louboutin metallic heels and it was great because it was really hot out!

I met stylists and photographers Rachel and Nicole. Rachel was wearing this great Topshop Motel Skirt I’ve seen everywhere. Anyway, MTV has been doing these concerts all through the week with celebrities like Ciara and Robin Thicke. Are you excited for the VMAs?

Clover Canyon Crop Top Combo at The Social Life Magazine St. Barths Hamptons Gala

DSC00468

 

Last weekend I also attended the Social Life Magazine St. Barths Hamptons Gala and wore a Clover Canyon crop top combo. Although a bit ‘revealing’ I’m still loving crop tops and by the looks of what’s next for  Resort 2014, they don’t seem to be going anywhere. It was really hot and muggy but I had fun under the tent chatting and checking out the different sponsors. It was a simple look but after a long day of fun in the sun in Montauk it worked.

If you’re in the area, this is a great weekend to skip over to the Hamptons. Russell Simmons will be having his annual Art For Life event honoring Rashid Johnson, Samuel Englebardt, Tyler Perry and more. Maxwell, Rick Ross and Estelle are performing as well. Southampton is also holding its annual Art Fair. I will be staying in the city this weekend to get some work done but you should definitely go out if you can. Check out more of what’s happening here.
