11.12.13

At the first sign of the temperature dropping I stock up on all my winter faves:

1. Sweatpants (Easy to dress up or down, great for night to day transitions)

2. Sweatshirts(Makes life on the go crazy efficient, I can barely make moves when I’m cold)

3. Scarves (I layer like crazy in an effort to stay warm, so scarves are a great substitute for necklaces)

This is one of the coolest gifts I’ve received to date. So much love to my good friend Andrea for thinking of me. The pendant on the necklace is the back space button from a typewriter. The creativity of jewelry designers always inspires me to think of new ways to rework the random pieces I’ve collected over the years.

Okay, okay, so it’s official. I’m ready to acknowledge that I have become a sneaker wedge junkie. I just can’t get enough of these bad boys.

Tonight is the second installment of The Flat pop up dinner series. I can’t really think of a better combination than my favorite place to go out annnd a bi monthly dinner series built around it. Good times ahead. Have a great day everyone!

Like Water for Chocolate

With the exception of a quick run to tutor one of my favorite fourth graders and stop by the grocery store to get flour for my oatmeal raisin cookies, was a working from home on my laptop kinda day. This look had just enough going on to send me out the door with a little pep in my step. I’m a big believer in dressing beyond your mood, so whether you’re feeling on top of the world or down in the dumps, I always remind myself that a little bit goes a long way.

Actually, In all honesty, it wasn’t so much the outfit that did it for me (obviously haha) So, Lauren London is now a character on BET’s hit show The Game, and from the moment she entered the scene in a recent episode, I knew that the lipstick she was wearing had to have been Ruby Woo! Kudos to Mac for doing such a fantastic job designing that stunning shade of red with a hint of blue. The only downside for me is the fact that that bad boy is nearly impossible to get on without a slick aide. Fortunately, I have the perfect solution! This may come as a surprise, but Wet N’ Wild has the most perfect assortment of matte colors, and their Stoplight Red is the ideal compliment. To create the lip color above, I apply a thin layer of Stoplight Red to both my top and bottom lips, followed up by lining my lips with Ruby Woo and then filling in my bottom lip a slight bit with more of the Ruby Woo. The result is the bold color shown above. Hope this is useful for you guys! Although I don’t wear much makeup, I consider myself a master mixer when it comes to blending lip colors. It’s taken me quite sometime to figure the science behind getting right, but it got it! haha Have a great day!

Let Me See You Move It Shake Cross The Dance Floor

My outfits generally channel a vibe of some kind, and I am totally smitten over this fall’s hat selection. This look’s inspiration is Indiana Jones. My new hat reminded both me and my younger brother/photographer of him, and years of watching his movies with our Dad over the holidays.

Inspiration feeds into selecting what to wear, but f nothing else, I know how I want to feel once a look is put together. It may be something I’ll chuckle at when looking back in 5 years, but it’s all worth it to feel amazing in that moment. I’ve always joked that I was born in the wrong decade and the 70’s are definitely my favorite when it comes to fashion. My song of the day is Cross the Dance Floor by Treasure Fingers in the spirit of all things boogie. Have a great day!

Save The Future

Sometimes the weight of the world seems to weigh a little heavy for my comfort. For whatever reason, the best way for me to shake it is by putting on a fun outfit and a great playlist. This look is a reflection of this. Check out one of my jams below.

This is one of my favorite sweatshirts in time. Short of it getting physically destroyed, I plan on hanging on to it forever. Hopefully it’s message plants the seed for those who view it to give back, get involved and make a difference.

Looking for an organization to get involved with? Check out my nonprofit Mia’s Closet. We’d love to share our story with you!
