Riccardo Tisci x Nike

January 10, 2014January 10, 2014 / unicornshawty / 3 Comments

I woke up this morning and did my usual. Checked all my social media (admit it you do too. It’s like the newspaper) I discovered on Instagram by CRFashionbook that Riccardo Tisci (of Givenchy if you live under a rock) Will be collaborating with Nike on a new shoe collection. This is exciting because Tisci takes great inspiration from streetwear and active wear lines. I hope it’s not only shoes and also going to be clothing because if it is, it might just be the most epic collection seen from Nike in a while. Not sure when this collection will be released but please believe I will be stalking the Internet until I find out.

Swag on a hundred thousand trillion.

Lusting After: Moschino

December 27, 2013 / unicornshawty / Leave a comment

Man, I swear the closer it gets to my birthday, the more things I lust after. Some are hoop dreams, and I never expect anyone to buy most of this stuff for me. However, to buy for myself….YES! I have been in love with Moschino for a long time (since the 90’s) I have obsessed over that belt forever (among other items). I enjoy that their designs can be dressed up or down and make a statement on their own. No need to over accessorize or over dress with the bags, belts or clothing.

I think that having unique statement pieces can go a lonnnng way in a wardrobe. Just make sure that they are timeless to you and that you would want to wear them for years to come. Be a repeat offender of the items you love! Here are my faves.

Cop or Nah?: Legging Boots

December 18, 2013 / unicornshawty / Leave a comment

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?

OOTD: Mr.Carter Told Me To…..

December 12, 2013August 6, 2014 / unicornshawty / 2 Comments

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.

December 9, 2013December 9, 2013 / unicornshawty / Leave a comment

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

OOTD: It’s cold in Cali and I’m Trying To Keep It Cute..

December 8, 2013December 8, 2013 / unicornshawty / Leave a comment

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.

5 Luxury Items I’m Crying In A Corner For…….

December 5, 2013 / unicornshawty / Leave a comment

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.
