Classy Gal

One of my favorite things about myself is my versatility. Today, I flipped my hair, covered the shaved bit, threw on a more conservative summer dress and some sparkly jewelries, and called it a day. This alter ego is usually reserved for job interviews, important meetings, or court (oh, parking tickets), but today I just felt like being a little classier.

It’s funny how society can view and treat you differently based on your aesthetic sometimes…Scratch that, most of the time. If you’ve been following anything on the news lately, though, you may have seen the handsome mohawked man landing a robot on Mars, and that really got me thinking about how the times they are a-changing. So, for a good read if you’re curious or into the rebellious look but want to keep your job, please head on over to FemInspire and give my latest article a read!

Heat Wave

Back in the city that is my church, at long last. All is going well, save for a minor mishap of falling on my head. Also, let’s state the obvious, IT’S SO HOT. I wore this outfit Wednesday to a few meetings, hair up and staying cool. On hot days like this you NEED to protect your eyes from the sun, and why not with a stylish pair of sunglasses? SmartBuyGlasses offers great prices on amazing brands, including my favorite, Ray Bans! Similar to the ones I’m wearing in this post, these white wayfarers are a great summer pick. Other great brands they offer? D&G, Prada, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, and everything else you could ever want, so be sure and check them out (and save 25%-30%!)

New In

I don’t know about you, but it’s always been one of my dreams to own a really nice statement watch; something classic and potentially timeless. I had narrowed my preferences down to one brand, Michael Kors. He seemed to be the go-to watch brand for every successful woman I encountered.

Thanks to TJ Maxx I was able to fulfill my dream, at a fraction of retail cost, for the same amount of style. I’m smitten with my new beaut. What do you think? White ceramic with pearlized background and the crystals on the edging and ah; I repeat: smitten.

Anyway, just wanted to show off my new arm candy to you all even though it’s guaranteed you’ll be seeing plenty of her soon enough!

Rafaello and Co. Jewelry

Friday evening I brought some of my fellow NYC Fashion Bloggers to the lovely showroom of Rafaello and Co Jewelry.  In this international jewelers they do custom pieces such as necklaces, watches, et cetera for high end clientele including many famous rappers.

LOVE the cat ring (you know, for $30,000 or so) and that fuschia watch? $60,000. Oh, I cannot wait until the days when I can afford something nice for myself!

For this event I came in a Diane Von Furstenberg dress, Wild Pair heels, Forever 21 belt, and an H&M jacket. Fancy, yet fun, and it flowed perfectly into my Friday night festivities.

Abbey Dawn Tee Shirts

Growing up I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with Abbey Dawn designer Avril Lavigne. When she first broke out I loved her fearless tomboy/rocker style. I was insanely jealous of her rocker Sum 42 Boyfriend, then husband, now ex all-of-the-above. Avril was never on the top end of the fashion/gossip columns, yet she’s maintained a love for the industry. When her line, Abbey Dawn, released, I was skeptical. But, against the odds, her line has been going strong, and even expanded into men’s tees.

I was recently asked to model some of their tee shirts, which aren’t half bad. They’re the usual brights of the season, with graphic prints and designs, similar to what I was most commonly seen wearing back in my high school days.  Many of the shirts bear designs common to the current “rocker” or “scene” trends; mustaches, thick rims, diamonds, etc.

Also wearing Armani Exchange Jeans.

Here are a couple more tee’s from the set shot by Manny Hui.
