Treats and A Trip!

2012-01-18T08:00:00.005-05:00

Salutations stylish ones,

So Monday I was off (Due to MLK day YAY!) of work and decided to go to Disney and play in the parks. No, I'm not rich, I work for them so the least they can do is let me in for free. Anywhoo, I decided to make some brownies to take with me. I was a little nervous on how they would turn out, because sometimes everything doesn't turn out right in the kitchen, but all went well...

I made two different batches of brownies. First, I made chewy fudge brownies.

Then, I topped them with whipped vanila icing.

Ta-da! Here they are! This batch I wanted to have more of a chewy texture, so I used only two eggs.

For my second batch, I made milk chocolate brownies.

And topped them with whipped milk chocolate icing.

Here they are. Don't they look yummy. For this set, I used three eggs. As a result, these brownies were fuller giving them more of a cake texture.

Off to the park I go, right along with my roadie Avery...

I really love visiting the park from time to time, but not too often. I don't want to become bored with it. If that's even possible.

Cinderella's castle is simple beautiful and is a spectacular site in person.

Avery looking absolutely adorable! I loved the shirt she had on. It was from Forever 21. I might have to take it from her LOL.

The park was fun, but there were a little too many people for my taste. Especially over at Hollywood Studios, so me and Avery ditched the place after watching Beauty and the Beast. Love that show!

Now on to the outfit...

I was definitely going for a jockey prep look. A bit of signature Ralph Lauren.

I love these pants, but sometimes they can be a bit annoying. For example, the buttons keep popping open. I am going to replace them with hooks. Thank goodness for the belt.

Because it was a little cool, I layered my favorite white polo over a green thermal. I also twisted my hair so I was able to fit a hat on top of my big head.

Shirt: Ralph Lauren

Thermal: Forever 21

Pants: Forever 21

Boots: Matisse

Hat: American Eagle

Well that was a pretty fun day, but all good things must come to an end,

Dismissed!

Trip to Port Charlotte

2012-01-10T08:00:00.003-05:00

Greetings style icons,

What's going on? Nothing much on my end, so I decided to hop a ride to Port Charlotte with my good friend Avery. I don't get to travel that often with the being poor and all, but I felt I deserved a little time off...

Port Charlotte is a small quaint little town where my other friend Tiffany lives. We decided to go visit her and get away from Orlando.

Giving a little prep this go-around. I twisted my hair the previous night, so I could finally wear one of my hats.

I got these sailor inspired pants from Forever 21. The sailor front pant is one of my favorite styles of pant. Of course they don't hardly make too many pants with this type of opening.

Apologies for the cutoff pics. My room is junkie and this was the only place I could find that didn't have clutter. Of course I still had the problem of where to set up the camera.

I ended up ditching my glasses. I wear them enough.

Port Charlotte, though scenic and beautiful, had a surprising amount of old people. Oh well at least it was extremely quiet. LOL

Hat: Target
Shirt: Zara
Blazer: Sashimi
Trousers: Forever 21
Glasses: Aldo
Bracelets: Assorted vendors in Miami

I really need to travel more,
Dismissed!

Ringing in the New Year!

2012-01-04T08:00:00.001-05:00

Happy New Year stylish ones,

It's 2012 and I'm leaving everything in 2011 in the past behind me. It was a rocky year with a few ups and a lot of downs. Oh well life moves on and so do I. Time to let this be the year of positive change and new beginnings.

Here are a few of my New Year's Resolutions:

Start working out and get in shape. (I may look it, but I'm soooo out of shape)
Cut down on my alcoholic consumption. (or either start drinking wine instead ;-)
Stop cursing so much. (I dropped too many f-bombs last year)
Save up for a better quality camera. (because my pictures for this blog look like crap)
Get a better paying job. (because that camera above isn't going to pay for itself)
Start doing volunteer work. (I love helping others)

My newest addition: A snake ring from H&M.

I also got this bracelet from H&M as well.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Blazer: Gap
Shirt: Zara
Shorts: H&M
Belt: Target
Shoes: Zara
Ring: H&M

Wonder what 2012 has in store,

Capture that Item: Feather Headband

2011-12-21T08:00:00.003-05:00

Greetings style mavens,

So, I was back on one of my fave online shopping sites of all time- ASOS. Of course right now I can't afford anything :*-( (that's me with a tear by the way). I came across this FLY ass headband. Now normally I don't wear too many headpieces as most of them are a little too feminine for my taste, and ever since I cut my hair I have been in terrible need of something to do with my hair until it grows to a length I can do something to it...

Her Curious Nature Tweed Antler Alice Band

Retail: $96

Direct Link: Asos.com

I absolutely am in love with this headband. I would totally wear this out and it would give my hair the spice it needs. There's just one problem. It's too expensive :-(

Ok brief summary: Made primarily of 100% wool tweed this headband features a gold tone stag head, draped metal chains, and two amazing feather antlers.

The feathers alone are good enough to get me to buy it but the stag head and tweed patch have me absolutely drooling over here. *wipes mouth* The tweed and the stag lend this otherwise girly piece just the right amount of masculinity for me to pull it off.

Now if only I had someone to purchase it for me...
Dismissed!

Din-Din with the Friends!

2011-12-19T12:03:00.001-05:00

Greetings Fashionable Ones,

Back again heh, heh, (crickets). Sooooo, anyway I have been meaning to post. I have just been too lazy. Hey! Don't judge me.

So me and Friends had went to dinner recently at this chic hotel restaurant the other day to discuss business. The setting was beautiful, reminding me of a plush garden. However they did have a lot of themes going on at this hotel, one minute it's hawaiian-esq, the next I get a Japanese sushi restaurant, then they are switching over to Bollywood with Indonesian parasols. Oh well needless to say I had to dress it up...

The restaurant had a beautiful setting outside for us to take pictures.

It was a little nippy that day. (well not really, but I just wanted to wear my cape)

I paired this pretty green thermal I got from Forever 21with my trusty grey high waist shorts.

I jazzed up the look with one of my scarves, and finished the look off with my over-the-knee socks and combat boots. It's a militant chic look.

Thermal: Forever 21
Shorts: Forever 21
Scarf: Target
Boots: Urbanog.com
Socks: Russell Athletic
Cape: Asos.com
Belt: Target

It really was a beautiful restaurant and I had a great time with Noosie, Dee, and Dex!
Til next post,

Pink Pant-her!

2011-10-07T08:00:00.001-04:00

Hello fabulous style icons,

Back again for another style post. This time it features these lovely pink pants that I found at Goodwill...

I wanted to pair these pants with a shirt that would mellow them out just a little, so I went with this white and blue button down shirt.

The pants are pretty eccentric so I wanted to go with a minimal amount of accessories.

My silver cuff and my black and multi-colored sandals.

The basic setup of this outfit is similar to the one I wore during my trip to Whole Foods. However, I like that one a little better than this one because those blue pants fit me perfectly.

Shirt: Express
Pants: Goodwill (brand name unknown)
Belt: Target
Cuff: Forever 21
Sandals: Love Culture

Till next time,
Dismissed!

Slicker Than a Can of Oil

2011-09-28T08:00:00.001-04:00

Salutations style mavens,

It's been a while since I posted a hygiene post. I mean I do practice good hygiene everyday, I just don't normally find products worth blogging about. That is until I stumbled across my latest obsession- Oils!

Oils can be extremely beneficial when it comes to hair and skin. I went to GNC to see what good oils I could find to help me in my journey to great skin and hair...

Grapeseed Oil

Retail: $9.99

Direct Link: http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2446691&kwCatId=

First up is Grapeseed Oil. Grapeseed oil is lighter compared to other oils and is perfect for sealing in moisture in the hair and scalp and the skin as well.

Jojoba Oil

Retail: $9.99

Direct Link: http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2188173#green

I think Jojoba oil is the best of all the oils offered at my local GNC. It's the most expensive at least. It can be used for hair, skin, and all over the body.

Avocado Oil

Retail: $6.49

Direct Link: http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11356454&kwCatId=

Avocado oil is the most familiar to me. It is commonly used in most hair sprays for it's natural shine enhancing properties. I have used this for both my hair and skin and love it.

So there you have it folks my latest craze. I can't wait to the benefits and effects of using these products start kicking in.
Dismissed!

Hair Supplements

2011-09-26T10:58:00.000-04:00

Greetings fashionable ones,

As you all know, I had Big Chopped (cut all my hair off) back in March to grow my hair naturally. (That means free of chemicals ie...relaxers, texturizers, etc.. to those who don't know what natural means.)

Of course, I have always been one to be a little impatient when it comes to things concerning myself. So it comes as no surprise that I want my hair to grow faster.

This called for a bit of research to see first if that was possible, what product will do this the best, and how much does it cost.

My research led me to a supplement known as Biotin. Biotin aids in the production of hair and nail growth. My first thought was to head to Whole Foods and if not there then try GNC. I discovered it was located at the former...

Biotin

60 capsules

Retail Price: $6.99

Direct Link: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/924

The price actually surprised me a little bit. I was expecting it to be a little more expensive, but I'm not complaining. I have recently started taking it and can't wait for the results.
Dismissed!

A Trip to Whole Foods

2011-09-22T08:00:00.003-04:00

Salutations stylish ladies and gents,

Recently, I decided to visit Whole Foods in search of biotin supplements for my hair. Biotin is used to speed up the growth of hair. Fortunately, I found some and it wasn't too expensive. On top of that my trip to whole foods was quite pleasant. The lady was very knowledgeable when it came to which vitamins would serve my purpose better. However, there was this lady in the same section, and I could have sworn she was trying to take a picture of me. Not really sure if that was the case, but if so that is extremely rude.

If she wanted a pic, then she just should have came up to me and asked...

I didn't really appreciate this outfit, until I looked at the pictures the following day.

I found these LizSport cropped pants at Goodwill, and I gotta say they fit me exceptionally well.

I think what I love about this ensemble is that it is casually chic and really looks more like a fashionable guy would wear this. (LOL and I'm not talking about myself)

Of course I had to throw in a little bit of androgyny with my sandals. The belt really pulls this look together.

Would you believe I got this beautiful green bracelet from Pier 1?! Score!

These sandals came from LoveCulture. Only $16.99.

(Coy look)

Shirt: H&M
Pants: LizSport
Bracelet: Pier 1
Belt: Target
Sandals: Love Culture

Till next time,

Dressing up to dress down at work

2011-09-20T12:12:00.000-04:00

Greetings my stylish friends,

Today was a casual day just like all the others, so I decided to dress up to make myself feel better. Of course I realized that I would eventually have to dress down and get in that dreadful work uniform. Oh well at least I looked nice...

As I looked at these photos I thought they looked a bit more grainy than usual. I later found out that was because I had the camera on a lower resolution setting. OOPS!

Still, I need to invest in a better camera.

Shirt: Express
Jeans: Gap
Shoes: Converse
Flower: Random hair store (LOL)

That is all,

Revitalizing Dinner with Friends

2011-09-16T08:00:00.002-04:00

Greetings style mavens,

It's been a long time since I posted. My sincerest apologies. If you have been reading my blog, then you know that from time to time I have issues that affect my life and prevents me from being creative. This last one was no different only in the fact that it lasted a little longer. However, I recently had lunch with my fabulous friends Fashion Pad creator Shanequa, Dexter, and Dawana of Dress Haven, and I have to say GOD will put great people in your life to strengthen you when you are weak...

So, it's been a while since I really put some thought into my outfit. All I have been doing is work and piecing my life together. However, I'm glad to see I still have my GOD given gift.

I combed through my closet to find something worthy of my fashionable friends. I decided upon this wonderful Ralph Lauren blazer that a friend found for me at Goodwill.

Ralph Lauren is a master at signature American class, so I paired it with a simple striped shirt and grey shorts. This color scheme instantly suggests casual/prep, which is exactly what I was going for. I also added this cute gold leaf headband that I got from Asos.com to give the outfit a little bit of fantasy.

All brown accessories seal the style. Tan belt, Amaretto-colored ring, and my trusty Cole Haan oxfords.

Blazer: Ralph Lauren
Shirt: Banana Republic
Headband: Asos
Shorts: Forever 21
Ring: Banana Republic
Belt: Target
Oxfords: Cole Haan

What a refreshing and energizing dinner,
Dismissed!

Capture that Item: Cole Haan Tote

2011-07-06T14:43:00.000-04:00

Greetings stylish mavens,

A couple of days ago, I was checking my email and I noticed an advertisement from one of my favorite brands: Cole Haan. It was for the recent sale, so I decided to click on over and have a look. While on the site, I came across this magnificent find...

Cole Haan Jitney Plaid Carley Tote

Retail: $150

I love the bag inside another bag look. The plaid really pops against the cream.

Direct Link: http://www.colehaan.com/colehaan/catalog/product.jsp?sizeDescription=&catId=100&productId=413015&productGroup=413017&pwpHash=shop,pwp,c-100/f-10001+70018/ipp-40/pn-2&scrX=0&scrY=1457

As you can see it is a very large handbag, and we all know I LOVE obnoxiously big handbags.

The best part about this item is that it is on sale from $248. A very nice deal might I add.
Dismissed.

Happy 4th of July!

2011-07-04T13:17:00.000-04:00

Greetings stylish mavens,

Happy Independence Day to all my stylish followers!

Be safe!

Balmain Fall 2011

2011-06-30T20:40:00.000-04:00

Greetings style mavens,

So it's been a minute since I featured a collection. My last post featured a look from Balmain's Fall 2011 collection.

Today, I decided to feature more looks from this collection...

I love the length of this overcoat and the length of the scarf in this look. It somehow makes the body appear slimmer and longer.

I am a definite fan of this gray scheme.

This is an interesting way to wear a scarf. I may attempt this.

This reminds me of a very young sailor eager to prove himself on the high seas.

I LIVE for this coat! If somebody wants to buy it for me, please feel free to. I would greatly appreciate it.

...and a strong finish. White blazer on deck!

*head on over to http://www.gq.com/fashion-shows/brief/F2011MEN-BALMAINMEN/ to view the full collection*

Magnificent! Balmain does it again!
Dismissed!

Get the Look: Shipwrecked!

2011-06-28T08:00:00.001-04:00

Greetings my stylish friends,

I was cruising the internet the other day looking for the hottest looks the net has to offer. So as always I go to my tried and true: GQ.com. They always have the latest looks and the most fashionable gents.

As I combed through their runway archives for Fall 2011 I came across this handsome look...

I love this look. It's from the Balmain collection for the aforementioned season. It features a striped shirt, rugged skinny jeans, wellington-style boots, and a large double-breasted peacoat. The striped shirt and the boots stamp an out-at-sea feel to this look.

Now let's break it down step-by-step:

Step 1: Striped Shirt

ASOS Selected Wardour Split Neck Stripe Shirt

Retail: $66

Though not red it still bears a nautical theme.

Step 2: Rugged Skinny Jeans

Diesel Larkee T 8Y9 Tapered Carrot Jeans at ASOS

Retail: $155

Whether tapered or skinny, jeans that become narrow at the ankles are the best when it comes to stuffing them in the boots.

Step 3: Wellington-style boots

Frank Wright Navajo Boots at ASOS

Retail: $121

The boots trend is still burning strong for men. Though these aren't quite wellington-style, any boot will do just fine.

Step 4: Double-Breasted Peacoat

River Island Long Military Jacket at ASOS

$164

Even though it isn't a peacoat, it is double-breasted, and when unbuttoned it will give the same look as above. Plus it is an awesome looking jacket.

Optional Step: Rain Boot

Kenneth Cole Electric Rain Rubber Boot

$98

These beauties are for those days when there is an actual chance of drowning by simply stepping outside.

This completes it. Happy Sailing (I know that was corny, but what do you want from me)

BDay Weekend Reflections: Part 2

Salutations to my stylish ones,

Ok so I was supposed to post this on Friday, but got a little caught up. Oops! Oh well no sense in dwelling on that little fact. This is the second day of my Birthday weekend extravaganza reflections...

This was definitely the show stopper of the two.

The rundown: a cape, a white t-shirt, jeans, and boots.

I am completely obsessed with this cape. I bought it from ASOS. It fits perfectly and features a hole where I can stick my hand through. It also has deep pockets.

Cape: ASOS.com
Jeans: Express

BDay Weekend Reflections: Part 1

2011-06-08T14:05:00.000-04:00

Greetings fashion mavens,

So this past weekend was my Birthday. Yep, twenty-five years ago on June 3 the stars aligned, and I was conceived. So this past weekend I tried to celebrate, however my birthday came up at an inappropriate time. It was a lot of drama going on in my life, but whatever I still had to pull through and enjoy myself. That Friday I went out with a friend from work and that Saturday, I went to Bento to have dinner with the crew Dexter, Dawanna, and Shanequa.

Alright let's start with Friday's outfit...

I love this outfit. It was very whimsical if you will. I found the shirt and the pants at the local Goodwill.

The pants go to the natural waist and are cropped.

I am a big fan of video games, often being inspired by them. So when I saw this Super Mario and Yoshi tee, I knew I had to have it.

The outfit was casual chic and was extremely comfortable for a night of partying.

Fedora: Target
Glasses: Aldo
T-shirt: Fruit of the Loom (Goodwill)
Pants: LizSport (Goodwill)
Belt: Target
Ring: Forever 21
Shoes: Zara

Check back this Friday for part 2 of BDay Weekend Reflections,

Salutations mavens of style,

Today, I want to tell you guys about an age old item that never goes out of style. The t-shirt. It just keeps going and going and going. Anywho, I just want to give you guys some stylish options. Of course you know that I'm not just going to give you some plain basic tees...

ASOS Dropped Armhole Hooded Vest.

Retail: $26

Even though it's called a vest, it is still a t-shirt. Not really sure why the called it a vest. Probably, because it buttons down in the front, but only halfway.

ASOS Long Sleeve Striped Top

Retail: $37

There is an easy going feel to this shirt that I really like. It is simple yet chic.

Villain Asymmetric V-Neck T-shirt

Retail: $42

I love this shirt because of it's imperfections. It features an off-center neckline and an uneven hem. However, I'm not sure I want to pay $42 for it. :-/

ASOS Cowl Neck 3/4 Length Sleeve Top

Retail: $37

I love the neckline of this tee it's simple, yet it is something that has not been done too often.

Delusion Knot Hooded T-shirt

Retail: $148

This one is a bit pricey, but it is the most interesting in terms of fashion.

Greetings stylish ones,

In an effort to come back to my boy roots, I have decided to switch the style up. (Just a little bit though) I still want to do androgyny; however, more from a guy's aspect. Not sure if that makes sense but the pics will clarify...

I even cut off all my hair to get the ball rolling. LOL Just kidding. I cut my hair so I can regrow it naturally. I want a HUGE afro!

So this is my first attempt at adrogyny- the guy's way.

The plan is to have my basic items be that of menswear. For example, my shirts and pants will be guy items and my accessories will be a combination of both men and women items.

I picked this ring up at Forever 21 for only $4. Awesome!

Hat: American Eagle
Shirt: Gift from friend
Vest: Target
Shorts: Forever 21
Ring: Forever 21
Arm Bracelet: Gift from Shanequa
Boots: Urbanog.com

All in all I think my first day dressing as a boy again was a success! LOL
Dismissed!

Capture that Item: Green Boats

2011-05-16T08:00:00.008-04:00

Greetings style cravers,

Today, I'm doing another "Capture that Item" post (this is fun). This time it is from Cole Haan. Seriously, I swear I'm obsessed with them!! Anywho, I stumbled across these lovely green boaters...

Cole Haan Air Yacht Club Boat. Retailing for $148, this isn't a bad price for a cute good quality shoe.

It also doesn't hurt that the shoe is Emerald green, my favorite shade of green. Of course the name of the color on the website is Amazon green.

The shoe comes in other colors as well if green is not your thing. This color in particular is called Chili Pepper.

Visit the Cole Haan website if you want to grab a pair of these lil beaut's.

*sigh* I'm in love with Cole Haan...
Dismissed!
