Lovestoned...

"She grabs the yellow bottle
She likes the way it hits her lips
She gets through the bottom
It sends her on a trip so right
She might be goin' home with me tonight...
She looks like a model
Except she got a little more ass
Don't even bother
Unless you've got that thing she likes
I hope she's goin home with me tonight...
Those flashin' lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her
I have to stop and stare
She's got me lovestoned
Man I swear she's bad and she knows
I think that she knows..."

Twisted...

"Everything about you I'm cravin' oh baby
I'm savin' my love for you...
When I see you I get
So excited my light just ignites
When I'm here with you...
Cause when night turns to day
When I'm seeing your face
All my troubles just go away...
It's the things that you do
When you do it...
Boy you've got me so...
Boy you got me
All twisted twisted up
Boy listen up
You got me thinkin'
I just might miss
Might miss the bus
Boy twisted up...
Boy you've got me
All twisted twisted up
Boy listen up...
All I know is that
I'm in the zone
And I'm writin' this song for you..."



It was recently brought to my attention, that my first person narrative has been missing from my posts as of late. This has been because my RL has been half past hectic (I put in my two weeks at my original job over a month ago, but in an attempt to keep me on board my boss damn near DOUBLED my salary, so I've been working two jobs simultaneously while carrying 5credit hours this summer =/) and I'm lucky to have the time to shop and shoot, let alone ramble on about how I feel about certain pieces and designers, most of which I'd suspect majority of readers scroll straight past anyway. Was that a run-on sentence? Yes probably, but I'm going to push my grammer natzi-ism aside and continue on. So today, I am preparing for a quick weekend trip to Vegas, and I have a few moments to babble about some of my current obsessions that I've collected this week...
So let's take it from the top to the bottom...
The hair is simple and chic at it's finest. The styles from Nylon Outfitters have been amazing for as long as I can remember, and this messy bun and slicked tattoo base is no exception...
My scarf is from TokiDoki, and it surprises me how many people haven't been there before. Everything has a soft, sort of aged feel to it. The scarves and other accessories are quaint and sort of whimsical, like I discovered them in my Grandmother's closet...
The jumpsuit is EPOQUE; part of the brand spanking new Schlie Blich collection. Everything is edgy with a sort of futuristic feel to it, but today I styled this particular piece in a more ready-to-wear, casual way. It's versatile and well-made, just like everything else Vintage McMillain designs...
The vest, in my opinion, is the star of the show. It's part of the most recent AOHARU drop and the styling possibilities with this piece are endless. I think it would look killer paired with a formal gown, and you'll probably see me rock it that way sometime in the near future. AOHARU always delivers garments that have a classic, timeless appeal....
 I'm carrying the Boni Bag from Bare Rose Haute. I was talking to June, the designer of Bare Rose the other day, complimenting her on her amazing textures. The bag looks vintage and expensive, but as we've all come to expect and adore about June's work, it's available at a more than affordable price point...
The shoes are the RIVEA'S from MStyle...and if you haven't grabbed them yet, you're missing out on the IT pumps of the summer. These patent leather babies will pop the sh*t out of anything you wear (pardon my language but shoes make me emotional) and elevate a simple pair of jeans and a tank into the stratosphere of high fashion. Mikee: you're a GENIUS babe =)

Fix You...

"When you try your best
But you don't succeed,
When you get what you want
But not what you need,
When you feel so tired
But you just can't sleep,
Stuck in reverse...
And high up above
Or down below,
When you're too in love
To just let it go,
If you never try
You'll never know,
Just what you're worth...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try...to fix you..."

"Fix You" by Coldplay
I always love shopping for new things, but there's something that feels so damn good about the CLASSIC PIECES in my wardrobe. Some items bring back memories; some make me feel warm and fuzzy; some just feel like HOME. I wore this PASHMINA SHAWL from ZAARA on my first date with my husband Tairo. It always transports me back to the time when he and I were first falling in love. Over two years old, and it's still texturely beautiful and relevant. The bag is VINTAGE and was a gift from my dear friend Alexand Vantelli. One of the most talented and stylish individuals I've ever had the pleasure of knowing; Alex is a POWERHOUSE that I'm hoping will join me for a blog post in the near future. The ring is from LaGyo and over time has become one of my signature pieces. I wear it in both gold and silver every chance I get because it reminds me of a real-life ring my late Grandmother passed down to me before she died. Last year I had a break-in and the ring was stolen, but every time I glance at this pixel version I'm reminded of her spirit and how ELEGANT AND TIMELESS she was. Lastly, the umbrella is super-old from Trilogy. It's so well made and is built with poses and animations that I just adore. My MOM collects umbrellas in rl and I have so many memories of my sister and I twirling them when we were little...

Power...

"I'm livin' in that 21st Century
Doin' somethin' mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters
Got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero needs his  HER theme music..."

Underground...

"Underground, underground
Everything's heavy underground
You been kicked around
Did life bring you down here?
Everything's heavy underground
And we'll be decked
In all black...
It's industrial
Work it underground
Get down, get down, get down..."

"Underground" by Ben Folds Five


Inex Hax of Fume' is quickly becoming one of my favorite new designers. My first piece from her was a killer snakeskin mini-dress with perfectly structured shoulders and an amazing texture. I paired it with one of my go-to blazers and draped on tons of chunky gold jewelry. Even with the sexy short hemline, I felt polished. Finished. Classy. And I think that's what she does best: she designs pieces that at first glance exude sex appeal, but fit effortlessly into a wardrobe belonging to a conservative woman. Inex is making staple pieces; mini-dresses and skirts, leggings, etc. And now with this jumpsuit, (which happens to be her ready to wear offering for CFC and also includes a dress version), she is solidifying herself as being a designer to WATCH...if you're into BEING watched that is...
