Night and Day

Hello Everyone,

Have you ever had to be at one place during the day and that same day be someone else in the evening? Like a day of shopping and an evening of dinner and drinks. Oh, gosh it happens to me all the time. So, make it easier on your self and transform that same outfit with no effort. Use accessories, footwear, and makeup to transform your self from day to night.

 I threw on a black faux fur style vest and a pair of black heels and now I am ready for the night.

Outfit Information: Sweater & Necklace: Dynamite, Vest: thrifted: DIY, Pants: Urban Behaviour, Heels: Style Sense

Also, I will be starting a DIY fashion segment and room organization segment so please stay tune.

Until Next time,

That's Just Me

Hey Everyone,

So the other day I was asked "how would I described my style" and the first word that came to me was practical! So, why did I say practical, well  because that's exactly what it is. My life is busy and full of running here and there, literally. When I'm in class or walking around campus I need to be 100% comfortable. Therefore, wearing Christian Louboutins or stiff materials just doesn' t do it for me, lol. However, I must salute the ones who are accustomed to wearing these things 24hours a day. Therefore, I would described my style as practical, with combinations of masculine, feminine and chic items and ranges from highend to thrifted items. I'm not a glamorous type of girl, but I can be when the time is right. I am a simple chic, and to me simplicity is best because individuals are able to see your true beauty and essence and not be distracted by so many other things going on.

This is something that I wore a day before Halloween I think. I actually had to run in and change my bag because it was raining and the leather straps and rain do not mix on the monogram patterned bags. Which is one downfall about the bag.

Outfit Information: Jacket: Dynamite, Blouse: thrifted, belt : thrifted, Pants: Ubran behaviour, Boots: Suzy Sher, and Bag: Louis Vuitton (vintage)

Thanks,

Where has the sun gone?

Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone is safe and sound after Sandy. The sun sure has been missing for the past week, and I find myself at home most of the time. I also just realized that I had an outfit post to share with you but never got a chance to actually post it. Here it is! As much as I do appreciate color, I always find my self running back to my comfort zone, which is black.

 

 Outfit Information: Jacket, Sweater, Necklace: Dynamite, Black Leggings: Urban Planet, Boots: Thrifted, Bag: Brought from someone, Watch: MK, Arm Candy: Various Stores

Enjoy, and Until Next Time,

Oxblood

Hello Everyone,

 So my favourite season is here, oh how I love Fall! I love the colors , the cooler weather, but most of all I love Fall fashion. I love layering items and Fall is the perfect weather for that. I also have been loving for awhile the colour oxblood. Now the colour is everywhere, which is just perfect for me.

So I brought this oxblood cotton maxi skirt a month ago, before the no shopping challenge. With the no shopping challenge I find myself trying to find different ways to wear a few different items differently. Adding a jacket or different accessories can really change up an outfit.

 You can go from biker chic, to classic sophisticate, to comfortable & causal as little as 1,2,3

Outfit Information: leather jacket: Guess, black collar shirt: thrifted, maxi skirt: Mode Star, ankle boots: Suzy Sher, Blazer: H&M, bag: Coach, Collar necklace: Little Burgundy

Until Next Time,

Goodbye Warmth and Hello to Cold

Hello Beauties and Gents,

I am back with another outfit post and many more to come. These pictures were taken two weekends back when the weather was still  bearable to wear a skirt in. This was my last attempt to inject some bright colours into the mix until I pulled out my fall palette.

 The top and skirt were thrifted. A big thank you, to my friend Abena who gifted me this skirt and 3 more. Check out her tumblr here .The foot wear was an expensive impulse buy at the beginning of the summer at a small boutique. I love them because their  made completely of leather including the soles, and they are really comfortable. However, no more impulsive crazy buying for me. 

Currently, I'm participating in a no more shopping ban for three months, this all started Friday( Sept. 21st). I realized after doing some cleaning and organizing of my closet that I had a lot of potential basic pieces to work with. I'm also a student who still has tuition hanging over my head, so paying that must come first. So anyone want to join me in this challenge? You have $20 break only if you really must buy something.

Anyways, enjoy and I shall be back soon.

Sincerely, Miss J

Let's Start Over

Hello everyone,

It's been a long time since I decided to venture onto my blog again. I liked blogging but with the major transitions that were happening in my life it made it very difficult to continue with it on a regular basis. So what are these major transitions that I speak of? Well I'm now a full time student in a graduate program and let me tell you, it's kicking my butt. The volume of reading that I have already did has been overwhelming, and it's only been like two weeks

 The outfit is simple and very fall inspired, and cost less than $40 minus the handbag. I got the dress at Zara last season on sale. The heels are thrifted. The dress also captures the hot trend of oxblood or burgundy  for the fall.

 The handbag is one of my favorite handbags and the few luxury items that I own. If you follow me, you may know that I love a bargain and love thrifting. However, when I saw this item 8 months ago, I had to have it. It has been sitting in my closet for awhile unfortunately. However, recently I have been wearing it months straight.

Anyways more to come stay tuned,

Sincerely Miss J
