Spending Everything on Alexander Wang…

/ unicornshawty / Leave a comment

 

Fashion week is underway folks. Which means we are looking ahead at what Spring 2015 has to offer us. Fashion is so fast, sometimes it can be hard to keep up with what season we are looking at. I mean I am still trying to finalize my Fall and Winter looks (operation dress like Kanye). Anyway I have been taking a look at the shows and gathering my thoughts and feelings. So far so good I would say. Nothing I that wanted to write home about with the exception of a few. Case in point Alexander Wang. With a looming collaboration with H&M dropping soon, he made sure that Fashion Week was not left off the agenda.

The iconic Stan Smith Adidas is getting a bit of a high fashion makeover. Adidas has teamed up with luxury department stores Barneys, Colette, and Dover street market to release an even more scaled down version of the shoe. I have always been a fan of the Stan Smiths. I had a green tag pair that I ran into the ground, and I miss them. I have my eye on the Barneys pair for sure. They drop September 10th, if you want them you can stalk Adidas HERE. You are welcome in advance. 🙂

I am a self proclaimed introvert until I have some Hennessy. Which is why on a sunny Sunday afternoon I saw Porsche while turning up at a day party and was able to talk to a then stranger. Her style was magnetic, you could tell just by looking at her that getting dressed for her was effortless. So of course she had to be the next installment in my “Locally Fresh” series. This time around I used “Ralph” and shot Porsche myself. I was also able to ask her some questions and talk style for a bit. Check out the interview below and get to know this “Chic Little Hippie” better.

Comfort will forever be my motto when it comes to my style. I have GOT to be comfortable! Even on the days when I want to get super dressed up with heels, etc comfort comfort comfort! Anyway if you read my blog consistently you know that sweatsuits are my jam. I love a good one, and menswear ones seem to be so much better than the womens’ ones that I find. Mainly because of the quality and fit.
Anyway enough about my feelings. This morning during my daily scroll of instagram I discovered this collaboration between New York City based streetwear brand UNYFORME and streetwear innovator Frank Cooke of Cooked Up.

Man oh man! Supreme dropping their Fall/Winter preview always makes my day. This year the hoodies are winning it for me. The only challenge with Supreme is that items sell out so fast, if you really want something you have to stalk the website for drops. Also there are no retocks, once it’s gone, it’s gone and you better holla at Ebay.

My Fall season wardrobe wise is about to be so poppin! The lookbook for the Altuzarra collaboration with Target dropped this week and I’m feeling it. For some reason it gives me the vibe of Kim K going on a job interview(which is awesome!). In other words I’m here for a lot of the pieces. When I get dressed I like to straddle the fence when it comes to my style. I either go for cool relaxed tomboy vibe or ultra sexy dressed up (sometimes I try a combo).

I have A LOT of sisters. Enough to have our own starting lineup in a soccer match. With that being said we all have very distinct styles. Which is great because I always pull inspiration for my own outfits and style from people I know and my surroundings. So it’s only right that I tap one of them to talk about their perspective on style and trends. This go ’round we have Sigourney Bennett aka Siggi B (for short).
What I enjoy about Siggi’s style is that she likes to make dressing look easy, classic, and funky at the same time. Along with that she knows her shoes! Homegirl can tell you anything that you want to know about a dope heel and she rocks them well. However being a California girl she knows how to dress down with chucks and still stay fresh. She provided me with her top five shoes for the season and some style advice on how she would rock them. Check it out!

Jam Of The Week…..

/ unicornshawty / 2 Comments

I have been a fan of Janelle Monae since I heard “Letting Go” on the “Purple Ribbin All Stars” compilation album. The musicality of her songs and the fact that she stays true to her creativity I truly admire. Plus shes great on stage and hella fine. This week she dropped a video for the song “Electric Lady” and I’m in love with it. I have been obsessing over this varsity jacket (that I’m afraid to share but may in another post) so when I saw Janelle wearing one in her video I knew it was a sign. It also has a college sorority feel to it and some of you know(or not) that I pledged in college so it totally tickled me. Anyway check out the video below its super cute and has cameos from TI, Joi, and choreographer Fatima (all three people I totally LOVE)
