We Live Half in the Day Time, and We Live Half at Night

A little day-to-evening post for you guys! I wore this dress (gifted by Hype Style) to the mall with my favored moto boots and jacket.Also, click here to check out the things I bought!

After linking up with my friend, we took a walk back to her place where, over a lovely glass of port, decided we would get ALL dolled up and go to the local gay bar for a Karaoke night. and when I say ALL dolled up, I truly mean it! Dark lips, high heels, and even wigs!

I finished off my night by getting a new tattoo; one I’ve wanted for YEARS; a quote from Shakespeare’s Hamlet that goes ” When Sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions”. I got it at a perfect time in my life as well, considering the last two weeks, and the last year of my life; so many hospitals and literal traumas. When things go bad, many things go bad.

Song of the Day:

Hope you’re all having a good week!

Classy Rock

I bought this coveted dress from Zara for Easter, but have had difficulty trying to make it more my style for day wear. Then, it hit me. Throw on my Forever 21 black and metal zipper belt with some DB sandals, and my favorite bracelet! I wore this to work and I must say, I felt more in love with this dress than I have at all since April!

And that is how I turned a more conventional, classic dress into more of a rocker look!

Leopard and Seashells

Boring little outfit post about this look I wore to work and then to the Vintage Twin Trunk Show and then shopping and then to a bar. Really, this is an all purpose look that works for so many places to go!

Please pay no mind to my unpainted nails…They’ve since been painted.

Bows!

I’ve always been a go-getter for knowledge when it comes to being inspired by great things. When Lady GaGa’s pokerface video came out I immediately learned the (surprisingly easy) steps to creating the Hair Bow. I’ve worn my hair like this a few times, and have done it to many of my friends’ hair for nights out.

This night I wore it to the Bob Mackie Famed Art Collection Blogger get together. For those of you who don’t know, Bob Mackie is up there with Karl Lagerfeld as a TRUE fashion illustrator. Currently being released are his prints of vegas showgirls, weird clowns, colorful kittens, and ofcourse, plenty of fashion. The event was great, and I’ve always been a fan of Bob Mackie so it was exciting to pick out a piece to have shipped to my home! I chose the below piece in the blue shade but also seriously debated the cats. My kitten is staying with my parents for a month, and I miss him terribly. I am quite happy with my choice though!

The event had bowls of candy, Izze sodas and Perrier, and pop chips. Sadly, due to the weather and such I’ve been rather under the weather all week and barely enjoyed some water, but that didn’t take away from how great a time it was hanging out with other bloggers and meeting great new people!

Now, What I Wore:

This top is actually a dress, from the little girls’ store Limited Too from when I worked there for almost two years. The jeans, well. These jeans are by Vigoss….from well. Let’s not put a date on it, but I’ve had them since I was in 7th grade. So happy to still fit them, and so great that I kept them, what with the wide leg coming back in style!

And ofcourse, my favoured Aldo wedges and vintage bag.

Hope you enjoy, and don’t forget to follow me on BlogLovin or leave a note with a comment ❤

Tell Me Girly How’s Your Edge

It’s been a chilly and rainy few days here in NYC and my office is even colder.

Ann Taylor Loft sequin sweater

Rue 21 pants

Wild Pair heels

Totally loving my new hair.

Ch-Ch-Changes

It’s summer and if you haven’t noticed by now I get bored quite easily with my appearance. In the past two days I’ve made one MAJOR change and a few minute impermanent ones.

First, my hair. Remember last summer’s undercut of my half shaved head? I wanted to go back to that for the nice edge it added to my look and the cool summer breeze. There was a miscommunication with my hairdresser so within second I ended up like this:

After a few tears I rationalized with “it will grow back, just a few weeks and it will be fine”. So we evened it out. And Ya know? It’s even starting to grow on me how short it is.

Bf ❤

I also decided to paint my nails something fun and bold and bright last night. I chose to go with ombre purple to pink…

** Please excuse all the cell phone and webcam shots, you’ll see prettier ones later**

Other changes in the works, besides new collaborations, I may be considering changing my blogging platform. I love the set up of wordpress and the ease of posting, but from a professional and monetary standpoint it’s not functional. If you’re a blogger do you have any other advice? Please let me know.

Girl Crush: Alice Point

Again, with another Polish girl, man these girls have style! Alice Point is a blogger and now a collaborative designer, from Poland. Her style? Totally rock n’ roll meets backstage runway. And I’m so happy to have found her. There’s not much else to say, though, so here’s a few images from her blog :

She kind of makes me want to party and get drunk and be fearless…Total lust. She seems to consistently rock some of my favorite brands like Wild Fox Couture and Blackmilk, mixed in with alternates.

Weekend Shopping and fun!

This weekend was a blast! Not only was my wonderful boyfriend visiting, but I had a photoshoot, got alot done, and spent quality time with some people close to me.

Here’s a few images from Saturday’s photoshoot (though it had little to do with clothing/fashion).

As you know, after that my Saturday was spent outdoors browsing the ‘hood with Cody. We checked out a local thrift store, where I found an AWESOME sequined shirt…for only $10! (for outfit info click here)

Since Cody has never been to the infamous Cafeteria with me, we went Sunday morning, along with my hairdresser/friend Sarah. As always, the mac n cheese spring rolls were a gift from god. I ended up trying a bunch of new drinks off their cocktail menu as well!My first drink was a Lychee Lavender, while Cody sipped a deliciously prepared Jameson and Ginger. I recently downloaded a new photo app for my iPhone, as you’re about to notice. It’s called Instagram and you take a picture and there’s, like, 15 filters you can add to it to give the image a different feel!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We ventured from Cafeteria to Union Square, and then down to Waverly Place for some much needed American Apparel. I bought an awesome ring at Aldo, that bodysuit I’ve been lusting after FOREVER from AA. Then, today (Monday) I went to Sephora and Macy’s, picking up some Kat Von D Tattoo Liner (pretty much the best eyeliner besides gel/cream) as well as a Material girl shirt and Steve Madden dress.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also tried on a couple of tops that I didn’t get. The leopard chiffon was by Ginger G I think? And this amazing asymmetrical ripped knit is by Kensie. I’d like them both, very much!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since it’s spring break I will have plenty of time to work with these new pieces and can’t wait for all the updates this week!

Hope everyone is enjoying their breaks, or whatever they are doing!

Leopard Distrust

My bf is visiting for the weekend and we’ve been blessed with mid 50’s weather, thank god! I got my hair done yesterday, 5 hours worth of chemicals and bleach, but I’m loving it! Also did a photoshoot today, pictures will come soon!

So, due to the nice weather and immense sunshine, Cody and I decided to go exploring in my fairly new neighborhood.

We found an awesome new *cheap* liquor store on Lorimer…. $20 for a handle of Bacardi Dragon Berry and we were in! We’ll be having an enjoyable night, that’s for sure!

Aldo wedges

Target tights

Express shorts

Kiss the Concrete shirt

H&M jacket

And I’ll finish with a picture of my new hair. It’s really dead… we’re going to do a deep conditioning treatment and then more bleach this week, and then I’m adding a surprise!
