Block This, Biyatch.

I'm so ready to hit the beaches, biyatches!

With my Long Island vacation round the corner, I was inspired by the colors of the vast ocean that I'll soon be viewing, swimming, and frolicking in.  A little royal blue, tid bit o' sea green, and a dash of turquoise complete this I wish I were on vacation attire. 

Extra points for my mother pearl bracelet - oh yeah! 

Don't you love that I so freely give myself extra points?!

Bewbies.
Obviously, this shot was taken by a man, baby!

K.I.S.S.

I hereby dedicate this post to the *smack* 

K.I.S.S.   a.k.a   Keep It Simple Stupids!

The thing about dresses is that they're an instant outfit and mos def fall into the KISS category.

Ya can dress em up with bangles and treasures, add a funky ole belt, wear some killer shoes.

OR if you're running late, ya can just super KISSIFY it, slip it on and 

ZZZZOooooOOOM

run out the door in 2 minutes flat, as I did this fine mornin'.

Sometimes it's just best to KISS and tell, ladies. ;)

Sniffin' out the scene with my mongrel, Bongo.

Well how dee how do!
How're yoooooooouuuu doin?!

This is the
 I'm so terribly cool and important (HA!)
pose. 

Followed by belting out the National Anthem.
Nah, just kidding - but good guess!
But whatever could it beeeeee?

That's right!
You guessed it!
BEES, homies, God damn freakin, BEES took over. :(
At least they make the oh so sweet, delicious and nutritious honey.
And just for that, I forgive them for scaring the food babies outta me.

When I'm having a 

'I feel sorry for myself, I feel gross and bloated, and my hair is terrible, are my nose hairs showing' 

type of day, I like to disguise my insecurities with a large amount of chunky bunch of necklaces, a LOUD leopard headband, a sweat texturized lace blazer. Really, just anything to make the world think that I'm thinking:

Hey! Look at me! I'm wearing funky stuff! I think I'm awesome!

And so VOILA, an outfit is born out of I feel like a chunk monkster feelings.

Now that I'm on the path of habitually waxing da armfeets (that'd be pronounced armpit in the English homies),  I gather up all my willpower to not shave between appointments or else my waxing lady will yell at me in Portuguese (she's from Brazil!). And as sexy as it is to be yelled at in a foreign language, she's got full control of the ooozing hot wax that goes on my poor tortured but fuzz free bod. 

So, what do you do when you've got a cute spaghetti strap dress you're dying to wear but da feets (short for armfeet) bears resemblance to the lush Amazionan jungle?

 Blue jeans and sunflowers remind me of this. Remember that video?! She's got her shirt knotted up, denim cutoffs, dancing and singing with her wild hair in a field of sunflowers? Ah yes, good ole old school Mariah. This outfit is inspired by my innocent youth.

This goes out to you, Ms. Carey.

Hell, you too Mr. Carey, a.k.a Nick Cannon.

White Vintage Dress + Nude Wedges

My mom wore this dress 30 years ago and now it's aaaall mine! Thanks Mom :)

This awesome adjustable vintage dress  has a crisscross drawstring back, allowing you to customize the size (perfect for buffets!), flutter sleeves, and unique neck lace. No, not necklace, but neck lace. Check it out - it's two separate pieces attached to the dress on either side and they meet together in the middle via button. Cool, no? I love it!

Now I know not everyone's gonna love the look. I even had someone say to me today that I look like I belong on the set of Big Love. (Ahem, Mr. Fee) But no matter, it's how it makes me feel and that's what counts, and  I feel like a true lady in this.

Cream Bat Wing Top + Pink Mini Skirt

Most gorgeous weather in San Francisco today! I decided to soak up the sun in a lil off the shoulder smolder action paired with this pink semi-tiered mini skirt that I've had for about ten years. Is that considered vintage?! My skirt being at least ten years old?! Hmmm... well shoot, let's hear from the peanut gallery: how old does something have to be in order for it to be considered vintage?

Obviously I was a a supreme ballerina in my past life. Duh.

Black & White Striped Dress + Off-White Button Down Top

Inspired by my dog, Bongo, I focused on creating a B&W outfit for Friday evening's double date affair. We started the eve at the fabulously cute restaurant, Limon Rotisserie, in San Francisco with the lovely Michelle and Egert Chris. Food was insanely affordable, delicious with fast but pleasant service. And when I say fast, I mean, like freakin extremely fast(!) - no two hour dinners at that hotspot. Overall, a spectacularly festive night with the flyest of the fly. 

Check out my new wedges from MIA. Love!

Look ma! Clean pits!
