NYC NIGHTLIFE| Hello Autumn.

Over the weekend I headed over to Vig 27 for a 'Fall Fashion Mixer' given by my friend and dope designer Duckie (He's the hottie in the blue Hugo Boss suit.) The event was filled with good music, good drinks, and tons of fashionable people. I'm already looking forward to his next event! Stay tuned!

I paired a vintage denim top along with a nude BCBG Max Azria Power Skirt. My Shoes were by Christian Louboutin and accessories were from Rachel Roy. And below are the two main reasons why I will definitely be attending the next mixer!

Get Familiar: Who is Olivia Palermo?

She's an American socialite, model, actress, and cast member from one of my favorite shows The City. Her style is fun, girly, and chic. She's not afraid of colors that pop and bold accessories which definitely makes her stand out in the crowd. If you are ever having a wardrobe crisis, Olivia's effortless style can be used as a reference for an instant fashion fix! Get familiar! <3

LOVE.Tunes| Wish!

About a week ago I came across a video while checking out Necole Bitchie's Blog, and i couldn't help but to tell someone else about it. It comes from a dope artist out of Baltimore named Wish. As soon as the song began, I fell in love. Her voice is amazing and her style is edgy with a splash of glamor. The video totally gave me I Love Lucy meets Fashion Avenue.

                   SN: The guy in the video is a HOTTIE...I'm a sucker for boys with tattoos! ;-)

Natural Beauty

It is very rare that you come across someone with undeniable natural beauty. Someone with so much simplicity, yet they have the power to walk in a room and completely own it! Well, Wilhelmina model Melodie Monrose is just that, a natural beauty! She's an eighteen year old Caribbean girl who's been seen strutting her stuff down the runways for S/S 2011. I'm sure we'll see a lot more of her in the near future.

Turban Chic

Me!

Luxury labels such as Prada and Fendi graced the runways with turban inspired head wraps back in 2007, but it wasn't until recently that I began spotting numerous celebrities in this chic yet simple trend. Whether you're having a bad hair day or you simply want to add a little FAB to your weekend denim and t-shirt, a turban is a sure way to pull your outfit together.

Long Live McQueen!!

Home Edition: Holly GoGrandma?

Since i could remember, my Grandmother has had impeccable taste when it comes to interior design. I recently went to visit her in her NYC apartment, which totally gave me "Holly Golightly" in one of my favorites Breakfast at Tiffany's. The mixture of bold prints and statement pieces such as vintage mirrors and a feather trimmed lamp are all you need to pull things together.
