The week has ended, and today I’m working the streets like a very well-dressed fashionable street-walker. So while I’m on the run, the apps run my world. For the past two weeks, Instagram is reigning over my Iphone kingdom, and there is nothing I want to do about it.
Your little girl is growing up people. I’m slowing, but surely bringing more makeup into my apartment that has been ruled by clothes and shoes since I moved in. I’ve been wearing pressed-powder on my face for years now, just to even out the skin or brush away the oily look, but now I’m partying with colors on my lips and eyes, and my new makeup journey is getting noticed by the right people in the form of Birchbox.com!

Wikipedia’s definition of a chokehold or choke is a general term for grappling hold that critically reduces or prevents either air (choking) or blood (strangling) from passing through the neck of an opponent.
My definition: A chokehold is a piece of fabric or material beautifully made to fit tightly around the neck. This chokehold, sometimes called choker, or artful neck-piece, may be so tight that it cuts off ones ability to speak, leaving this piece of art to do the talking for you. Just breathe lightly in and out your nose.
I have a new toy in my possession, it’s black, a bit heavy, expands with a turn and shows me something new ever time I play with it. I’ve upgraded from my Sony click and shoot digital camera, to a Canon click and snap snap snap dslr camera. I’m paparazzi now ma! Its my first dslr, and still breaking my baby in. With all the new features I’ve been getting familiar with, I just can’t stop snapping photos in black and white. Without color, a photo can becomes timeless, mature not old. You can’t help but focus more on story being told over the pretty colors that may distract you.
So you know what I’m giving you this week? Ageless, memorable, mischievious, suggestive photos that used less to show us more. Continue reading “Monday Men Style: Before There Was Color.” »
To love you should be ok with feeling pain. For me, the longer I’ve had that love in my life, depending on the situation, it makes it easier to let it go when the time comes. The memories, and the lessons learned shall help me move on easier, but what about the new found loves that come into your lives, and leave before they can stay a couple of nights in your house or your apt? You haven’t been able to show off your cute outfits for this love and see if it compliments your looks or not.
One person’s trash is another person’s masterpiece in the making. Designer Minas Gerais creations, from the clothes to the accessories, shows her range of creativity during her presentation at Minas Trend Preview Show in Brazil, but her headpieces are what blew my mind. The hats are made of newspaper, with a paper mache technique that were meticulously crafted, and they vary in shapes and sizes. Who would want to step out the house with any of these on their heads for fear of a terrible wind blowing it off or some rain drops touching these pieces of art? A place on the wall is where it should be, or on someone’s head during next year’s Met Gala!

Not being model height nor fitting into the petite category has some disadvantages, especially if you work in fashion. They don’t call it sample sale for nothing. This comes into play sometimes when I want to wear my favorite length in skirts and dresses, the midi. I don’t want to always wear a pair of flats or outrageously high heels or platforms with every midi dress or skirt I plan on wearing this summer. I did have this question pop up a couple of time already, and since it’s one I can relate to all to well, just wanted to share some options, and styling tips that may help those inquiring minds.
Ohh the guessing game. Forget the Oscars, Golden Globes, even the Grammys, The Met Gala is the one I get that special tingle for. I love pretending that I’m the one responsible for choosing the gowns for the Gala’s usual glamourous suspects, and new members that join the red-steps gang.

Next time you feel trapped by everyday disruptions and you need a solution, Miranda July has given us a creative solution.
Oh my goodness it is finally happening! I’ve found a pet or pets to chose from that are allowed into my building without getting into trouble. For some of us, pet-friendly buildings in New York City are few and far between, which I understand. When living in such close living quarters, having to tolerate another person’s five dogs, three cats and a guinea pig is not only rude, but unhealthy. So I’ve found the perfect group of animals that I’m sure all will like and adore. These pets won’t harm you, nor leave you smelly presents hidden in places that may take days for you to find. No need to get them immunized or annual check-ups but, they will cost a pretty penny upfront.
Some lights, camera, action and then these men start to work their charm. It does get better once the camera stops rolling, and some, not all actors, can still grab your attention with their sharp sense of style.
This is to the men who has me undressing them once they flash that smile. To the fellas that get me tingling after the opening credits on the movie screens. To the ones who can do no wrong in my eyes due to the swagger on and off the screen, my men of film, I salute you all in your well-fitted trousered glory.

Birds of a feather flock together. That couldn’t be truer than the people I’m friends with on facebook. Besides my family, most of my facebook friends have something to do with the arts, mostly fashion. They either create, illustration, capture, sell it or wear it very well. We all have this common ground than keeps us going back for more every season, month, week, and day.
I couldn’t think of a better group of people to ask my fashion related questions.
Question to all: Whose personal style has influenced your own?
