No. I don’t play hockey, and barely know the rules. I have been to games and my high school had a team so I’m educated a lil bit. Nevertheless, I NEED one in my life. The endless possibilities of outfits that I can come up with with just one hockey jersey. Le sigh. Jeans, leggings, on it’s own as a dress, shorts just so many! My choices are below.
All are $179 and available on Shop.Nhl.com
Here’s some inspiration…….
Did that.
Tamara Mellon is getting innovative by combining leggings, leather, and boots together. This is the “legging boot”; the idea was inspired by the thigh high boot. Mellon’s idea was to give the look of a thigh boot without the gap. So you can wear a long top or dress over it to give that look. They will cost you a smooth $1,995 if you are interested. I like the idea, however I like the sexy gap of skin between the boot and whatever you wear it with. I also like the idea. of this all in one idea. I wonder if other designers will swag jack the idea. Thoughts?

Timberland and Supreme have teamed up for this special edition release. At first glance they look like regular Timb’s. However upon closer inspection there are small details that set these apart from your regular old boots. The embossed snakeskin details and premium nubuck and leather are what makes these boots special. They are $180 and will be available 12/19. If you want them you better wake up early and stalk SupremeNYC.com because stuff sells out super fast on there.
Cop or Nah?
One of my fave songs on Beyonce’s album. Makes me want to put on something similar and twerk it for my imaginary boy toy. You have a boy toy? or girl you want to get something nice for and reap the benefits? Get this album.
Happy Holidays!
Remember when I wrote the blog about the special edition can designed by Mychael Knight for Diet Coke? Well they SENT me the can and is so pretty. What a cool thing for them to do. Funny thing is every time I’m on a plane I order Diet Coke to drink. It’s tasty, less calories and no sugar. Winning! Get you some and #stayextrodinary

I love going to concerts. Being able to hear an artists music love and enjoy it with people who are just as excited is a good time to me. So this week I had the opportunity to see my my favorite rappers (amongst other things) Jay-Z.
I was sooooooooo juiced. BEYOND. Anyway when I go to concerts I get inspired to tweak my style based on how the music makes me feel. So it was natural to wear all black, Jays, gold chains, and leather. Done, done, and done. I love that Hanes Wal Mart sweatsuit it’s so necessary best purchase of December for SURE. My turban was designed by good friend @ellavatahjones. I had a great time, I love screaming my favorite songs at the top of my lungs especially Jay-Z songs. All in all a good night. My 2013 concert season had been great.
For reasons unknown I was awake at 4am. SO naturally I grab my phone. Checked twitter, instagram, and then my email (skipped facebook because I cannot bear to see yet another engagement it’s way too early) Anyway, in my inbox was an email from Supreme. Which is why I’m posting at 4 in the morning.
Supreme collaborated with Champion again and this time it’s not just a crew neck…..THEY HAVE SWEATPANTS TOO! And they are DOPE! I contemplated even posting about this because I didn’t want to up the hype but I did and you are welcome. This drop will be available December 12th and will come in four colorways. That is all you are getting out of me. For details visit http://www.SupremeNewYork.com
Have…..to……HAVE……
For the last week the Bay Area turned into New York. It’s cold!!!! And people don’t know what to do or how to dress for it. Especially for night outings where you want to look like some work but stay warm. Being that I grew up bi coastal and spent most of my adult life down south or on the east coast. I have learned that layering is your friend along with keeping warm fabrics in mind. So my vintage leather jacket I found at a thrift store for $20 in Charlotte is my holy grail. I wear that thing with everything! My Asos Paris tight keep my legs warm under my demon shorts and my old faithful H&M scarf helped as well. ( the flannel shirt was very trendy of me but it also blocked the wind a bit so yay for trends that are function. I win!) Anyway the star of this outfit is my LPD NY shirt that I love. They use a good quality t shirt I must say and I def want to cop a black one. They are available on http://www.netaporter.com.
I feel like I’m super trendy and I don’t always follow trends but I’m down for an effortless looking outfit alllllllll day. The key is making it your own and adding interest with your accessories, hair, and makeup. You could totally switch this around and wear heels or change the shorts to a skirt. It’s so easy.
As much as I love a cheap Wal-Mart or Target item, I love Net-A-Porter and stores of the like. However, I live in California(cost of living is disrespectful) and grad student (equally disrespectful). So dropping copious amounts of money on some Chanel boots isn’t in the cards for me (FOR NOW). A girl can dream (or stop eating out so much and buying Hennessy on the weekend) Here are the five items that I have starry eyes for this week.
Tamara Mellon Fringed Leather Skirt $795
Alexander McQueen Silk Skull Scarf $425
Richard Nicoll Python Jacquard Bomber $1,155
Gucci Soho Leather Bag $1,490
Charlotte Olympia Belinda Cutout Suede Sandals $1,455
I have been good this year by the way……..or Nah?
Outfit of the day posts can kinda rub me the way that new reality shows do. Planned,staged, and somewhat unnatural. Other times they are so cool and give me inspiration and idea for my own style. Anyway, down the street from my house is this awesome graffiti wall that I like to let my dog run around by while we were there we snapped a few pics.
Nothing too special about this outfit. Retro Jordan’s, AWESOME Hanes sweatpants from Wal-Mart (best $5 I’ve spent this year) Urban Outfitters jacket and a scarf from H&M. My sunglasses I found on sale at Target that I’m also obsessed with. I don’t believe in wearing expensive sunglasses because I ALWAYS lose them. Never fails. Anyway today was cold and I didn’t feel like combing my hair or putting in too much effort. I also didn’t want to look like a bum so there ya go! Sometimes those cheap basic items from Wal-Mart or Target can be just as coveted and those sweats are my new BFF! What’s your coveted cheap item.
