YEAR 6

HELLO! Being that this is my first post of 2012, I have just realized that this is my sixth year blogging! YAY ME! Blogging and the whole blogosphere has always been a love of mine before it was ever this major thing that it is in pop culture now. I've taken notice that some of my style has evolved from the five years I've been following style blogs and blogging. For the past few months, people have been asking me "Do you have a Tumblr?" and my answer is always a "NO. Tumblr reminds me of a BloggingFacebook where people are simply just resharing pictures from others." YES, I do reshare pictures on my blog, but the photos I share are composed into a post where I'm actually talking about why that picture is there. Haha, do not get me wrong, I do occasionally go on Tumblr pages (primarily natural hair and NYC ones), but other than that, it's just not for me. I enjoy my blog on blogspot because I feel like it's my own actual little website instead if like some social networks (I do enjoy facebook and twitter), plus Blogger.com will pretty much always be relevant, rather than Tumblr which will probably be out of "style" by the end of the year. ANYWAYS, I kind of got off topic but I'm just really excited but to see what new things the world of style blogging will bring me. :)

READY FOR FALL.

May I just state how anxious I am for the fall months. I have to say that fall might be my new favorite season. This reasoning could be because of this scorching hot summer. I literally felt like I was gonna melt this summer and still do. I have noticed that my style has evolved and definitely matured as I have gotten older. And if you've been following my blog now for almost the last 5 years, you will notice that my colorful, quirky outfits have transformed to something more simplistic yet still my own signature style. With that being said, I'm ready for

• classic and structured trench coats




• booties




• chunky circle scarfs




• heavy blazers




• knit thigh-highs




• and smoky eye make-up!!!

AND....









'Tis all for now!

Absence.

A few words from me:

I am so sorry from my absence, having not posted since early June. I was in New York City for the end of June and all through July. It was an AMAZINGGGG trip and I was so sad for my departure. I will try to blog more lately and I will definitely try to do more outfit posts!

MIAMI. SB 2011.

Spring has sprunggg

Wow...is this true that I havent blogged since the beginning of the year. That's terrible. But this time Ive had an excuse being that I had been so busy with rehearsals and dance conventions from the end of february to the beginning of April. It was definitely a successful and fun season filled with great dancing, performing, and people. Now that the school year is about to end (4 MORE WEEKS!), I should be able to blog more. OH! And I spent my Spring Break in Miami, so next post is coming up!

TOASTTOFASHION

Rumi Neely for Fashion Toast would have to me one of my fave blogs. I can't decide of whether I'm obessesed with her style or photography....or the fact that she travels from LA to NYC periodically.

THERE'S A LOCK. AND THEN THERE'S A KEY.

My turban obsession has returned! I'm quite upset that I bought one last spring and returned it 10 minutes later because I thought it looked granny-ish. Now I must hunt one down. I've looked online for possible stores that could sell them, but I've experienced no luck. Last spring there seemed to many in stock at certain stores, those only being online though. Hopefully I can find one before the weather warms up even though I like how turbans can be seasonal, being warm in warm or cold climates. The other thing I have to try to figure out is how to fit my BIG hair only a one-layered turban. Hmmmmmm. I'm guessing lots of hair pins will be used. But as I'm typing this, I'm actually thinking about finding a way to make one. There are always tutorials on YouTube so that won't be so difficult after all.....ignoring my optimism. I should also be thinking about how I should be asleep right now so that I can give my raccoon eyes a rest for once!
