Upon coming home late from work, hopped up on evening coffee, I ended up with enough energy to do a whole routine in the the mirror to Frank Ocean's Bricks & Steel. It was hot, trust me! hhaha And when another song came on, I was more inspired to try my hand at 8 tracks that choreo another set.
Enjoy the fruits of my inspo! *note: the first play will be my exact order, plays thereafter are shuffled*

TNEMNRODA, Traci Ellis Ross, Catherine Baba, Fave editorials...it's all on there inspiring me for my A/W 2011 collection.
See my jewelry line, TNEMNRODA

Deets//Forever 21 tank-Zara pants and heels-American Apparel tube bra
The pants give you British pajamas but served with strappy heels and a "boyfriend" tank it's fresh and sexy.

My nails are currently giving you a fuchsia pink pinkies and fiery orange-red on the rest--amazingly summer and clashing thanks to OPI's [I'm Indi-a Mood for Love + Cajun Shrimp.
I'm a big fan of clashing colors and one finger designs on pinkies or index fingers, rather than the tried and true ring finger decision.
The runways are also expressing an affinity for rule breaking! PINK AND RED! Wear it this Fall says looks from Prabal Gurung [below] and editorials alike. Don't stick to these colors it also works with Blue and green, orange and red, orange and pink...combo are endless!
Will you be trying this trend?

REBLOGGED the shit out of my girl Tikedi's tumblr! Had me confessing crushes and everything! Check her Tumblr, aptly named TIKEDI //HERE//



Listening to stylist, Lala Lopez's summer playlist. Not sure how long it is, but at well over 20 songs deep of electronica, R&B and rap, it's enough to keep me plugging away A/C-bound, at home. Thanks girlie!
Listen //HERE// and make your own!

It's a behemoth of a fashion story and this is not even all of it! Lara Stone, Freja Beha Erichsen, Isabeli Fontana, Natasha Poly and Arizona Muse [basically all the runway model heavey hitters!] round up with Vogue Paris for a shoot that glorifies and realizes key looks from the A/W 2011 shows.
That reptile situation from Chloe? Check!
Furry 70's from Fendi? Check!
Soft, major shoulders from Miu Miu?! CHECK, CHECK, CHECK!
And while you're scrolling, don't forget to make a fall shopping list from this mega source of inspo!


















Drake's, Marvin's Room is unarguably the most covered song this summer. Chris Brown, Jojo and Teyana Taylor, whose version is below [source] have covered it. I love every version, enjoy.

I used to catergorized my style by print mixing or just flat out clashing colors. It was my thing.
I've pared my style down back a bit from that, but it's refreshing to just dress with absolute abandon...intentionally.

Excuse me while I blog everything from Stockholm Street Style!

Everything looks so good and so spot on like these sandals that I need in my life. Doesn't matter the brand just been obsessed with the style.

The streets and edge of studded and spiked jewels come together for a collab that would be super cute with your sneakers! :)
My fave pieces from this collection are the Bing Bang Bongo Headphones, $50-110, Forever Name Plate Necklace, $79.20, Bar Two Finger ring, $88. Seriously the first pair of headphones like this that I want! The col;ection is due out by the end of the month on wesc.com. //SOURCE//
And sidebar, who's with me on bringing back double plated name chains!

Tucked in the depths of your closet, I bet you have a cute pair of neon orange Nike Air Max or ice cream colored Reeboks. They miht not even be tucked that far, you just wore them yesterday didn't you?
Cheers to you if you did because there's a comeback of kicks for ladies! I said it //HERE// a bit ago and so does trusty WWWD.
Bape has also jumped on the steez with a line for women due out this fall in limited numbers...and there's always the men's section. Size 6 in Boys, please!



Everyone's favorite model, Kate Moss, has finally tied the knot with on-again-off-again main squeeze, Jamie Hince of The Kills.
Nothing short of what we'd expect of an always effortelessly fashionable icon, Moss' wedding dress was designed by John Galliano and shoes by Manolo Blanik with "something blue" inside. Hince wore a suit, tailored skinny, by YSL's Stefano Pilati as are all his looks for their 3-day celebration.
Would Kate Moss put her bridemaids in dresses from hell? Of course not! They all wore simple shifts and slippers, instead! And just when I posted about how wonderful and fresh a floral garland would be, leave it to Moss to stay on trend, topping the bridesmaids off with one as well.
Mario Testino was said to have shot the wedding, images of which are to appear in Vogue's September issue [fingers crossed]. //SOURCE//

Besides the fashion of it all, let's take a personal look at the fact that Moss is 37 and Hince, 42. //SOURCE// While the couple seemingly took their time to figure things out over the last 4 years, I def always look to solidyfy things short of nuptuals super early on in my relationships and I'm only 25!
I could stand to take a tip from Kate and any other women out there who know how to go with the flow and trust that things will happen as they should...
