Tweety...

 I have been working so much that I almost forgot about myself. I purchased a vintage Schwinn Bike in Greenpoint Brooklyn the other day and it was the best decision I've made in my life. Considering that my commute to work has changed from Manhattan to 3 train stops away from home, it is more cost efficient to just ride sometimes, and boy is it faster! Though I need to get the hang of it because I am not one to indulge in such exertions. 

One Thrift Piece...

Happy Monday! It has been a very long holiday weekend which I hoped you all enjoyed. I spent it doing laundry and the rest is all blur (haha). 

These past couple of weeks I have been living in thrift stores. I truly did not know how many really good pieces you can get out of these places for the cost of nothing! Like this skirt I purchased for $8 in my neighborhood, it is 100% silk, high-waist, and the paisley floral print is killer gorgeous. I paired it with this American Apparel ribbed crop top and my favorite Zara leather heel sandals. I am definitely going to challenge myself with just buying second hand clothing more often because I don't really have a steady occupation, so I can not afford to buy really expensive clothing all the time, only versatile pieces. 

Creme Knits...

 I am frustrated, only because life is moving too fast. Time simply waits for no one and that is the dead truth. Summer is finally here and there are so many things I want to do. But I do this every summer, when the time comes to go to this concert or go to that party event, I flake out because I either just can not bother or have to deal with a family member, or go to another event. Really and truly I don't want to sound selfish, however there are days or even weeks I just do not feel like being bothered by anyone or anything (Vegetable days I call it). It is like I shut down mentally and verbally, only being cognizant of myself. During these times I am the most productive with my jewelry, photography and blog; ideas come to mind, images begin to form. These emotional strides are beginning to get annoying because I need and want to be more productive... I don't know maybe I am being hard on myself ...

Maybe I should talk about the outfit now instead of throwing my crisis on you guys. Divine dress, I bought it in Park Slope Brooklyn at a street festival. Normally I don't buy clothing from these events because they can purposely jack up the prices knowing that people will still buy. Though I could not help being a woman and look anyways, this dress amongst others stood out. I love the delicate knit as well as the soft tint. I thought since it is a girly girl dress it will go perfect with a biker jacket and boots to give it contrast and edge.

Quick vent: Yesterday I went to a thrift shop in my neighborhood and saw this most beautiful lingerie vintage dress, I am kicking myself in the butt because for one second I put the dress down on the rack and turned around it was gone! I wee wee-d all the way home (especially when I saw the lady who took the dress) knowingly I will never find a piece like that again... It was gorgeous

White Tee + Red Skips...

 What a lazy week this week has been. I tried my hardest to be productive however something always held me back, most of the times that some thing is sleep, laziness, or food. As I sit down at my desk while deep conditioning my hair on this lazy Friday, it is rainy, and cold (not hot like last week). I don't even want to look outside much less go out there. I think I am going to take this week off ... even though the week practically ended already, I guess my body made that decision before my brain could catch up...

With that being said, in addition to a lazy week, it has been boyfriend jeans and sweats week. My favorite! and nothing like a fresh white tee to go with it. I struggle with finding the right White tee, I sound crazy yes though you must agree that every white tee is not the same. I bought this tee from Zara and the fabric is divine. I love a thin layer, fine drapery, crisp white tee shirt. Only issue is what happens after you wash it although I have not had any problems yet.

Want Mo' Faux

This year I have fallen in love with faux leather. Since I can't really afford real leather; something that is relatively close is good enough for me. However it must at least look and feel like real leather (maybe even smell lol) Zara is totally my favorite store to shop and the other day I was shocked to come across this faux leather biker jacket. The quilted design is so divine and the fit totally enhances your woman curves, and to add, it is lined, so you are not freezing your ass off! I am definitely contemplating on buying another one...

Thanks for reading!

Texture Symphony

Thursday I had a seminar at my job and the required dress code was business casual. I thought I had an pretty interesting melody going on so I asked a friend to take some quick shots with my phone. I don't really dress up much because I don't really go anywhere of that stature and lately I have been online just browsing for a couple of pieces especially in this category. These pants I bought from Zara are gorgeous! The tone on tone Jacquard print is amazing which just looks stunning in this hunter green -- for some reason this color has been my favorite this year -- Only issue is that I hate American cut; European cut obviously for me works better because I am pretty little lady (Though I can just take it to the tailor). The shirt I just love the bird and tree print, and the briefcase I bought years ago off of ebay for $10.
