V Monologue

The position of the print on this dress boarders on 'Inappropriate'
but that was not the intention...
Truth is ..as a summer dress, this dress is actually quite innocent and quiet
Actually until i scanned the pictures, the  'twisted' imagery was non existent
But when blown up......BAM. I couldn't help forcing back a devious smirk





Worn to work
Lucca Dress,
Old Sweater from Filenes (the 'shoulda' effect was achieved just by strategically 'stuffing' the flutter sleeve under the sweater)
Soft Peeptoes

Blaq Chocolat

They say Black and Brown are a 'No No'
.. I am colour blind
Heavy Gold makes this look less morbid and severe
I reserve the intensity for after hours....


Wore this to work the day before today
Since I don't celebrate thanksgiving , i am posting this instead











For the Republic Skirt customized by me
Kensie All Purpose  wrap sweater
Colin Stuart platforms


Thank you guys for wishing me well, I wish you double of what you 'sent' me....Cheers!!

Robin' Wood

I like Autumn leaves
I like to see them everywhere, I prefer them over Rainbows and Snowflakes...
I love Red things
I love to see them pop up in unexpected places, It warms my heart...




Wore this to run a few backdated errands...comfort was key. The Jeffreys are pretty much made for walking, i intend to wear them till they fall apart...the oversize coat tail blouse is by Liz Sport, the wet look leggins are from Forever 21, it has a weird scaly reptile skin thing going on which my point and shoot didn't capture.. but o well. The Pashmina is very old, bought a few years back from Filenes. The vintage bag was a birthday present as well from Watta...my girlfriends know that the route to my heart is littered with chainbags....


I like the 'nondescript' flower print




On a separate note, glad that some of you related to the post before, it certainly wasn't meant to ruffle feathers or score cool points but i felt that it needed to be said .... i applaud your feedbacks  and appreciate your continued support.

Fashion Groupie

At some point in life...we will all be groupies

well to some extent....

we love, we obsess, we fret, we fall in love.....ok lust

some more than others

But as far as am concerned....when it comes to groupies , there is a crazzzzy kind...FASHION GROUPIES...fashion groupies are designer whores....if you need a pricetag or label to be relevant... u r an FG.

when i tell people i don't care about Fashion, they look at me confuzzled

Surely i must love fashion, or else why have a Lifestyle blog?

I mean really, i have closets not closet that must mean i am on to something

Even still i LOVE shopping so that means I Love Fashion...makes sense enough, non?

well wrong

the truth is i could care less about Fashion, i mean why should i? Fashion doesn't care about me...

it cares about women that are much taller than i will ever be, far more thinner than my genes will ever allow me to be. It caters to dreams my wallets can never fufill leaving me with a fight i will never win....i could either fight or give in.. iREBEL.Can't be bothered ....

...Fashion fiend am not, Fashion groupie i will never be....

Fashion wants me to be something that i am not when it wants me to be.....

it tells me to invest in expensive shit i don't need, entices me to get off on things that satiates only for a moment...one moment you are in, the next your out...'aphidazeen'

Stuck playing catch up, never really measuring up...never quite

Even if i buy LV, i can't afford Lanvin

Even when i get Chloe, McQueen wants me to put on

I put on for Chanel, you put on for Goyard You know the rest..
 you paste it on your wall to spark your daydreams

you post it on your blog, to inspire your wallet

Whine. Crave. Lust over shit you may never afford...

You dream, you hope, wish upon things you will never own

Must.Have. Cannot.Live. Without.

Why? Just so you can act like you know what's up?

Just so you can appear like you are in the know?

we 've become Designer whores , easily impressed, just because it has a logo we rush out and BUY

when the credit bill comes, the guilt trip will set in, the honeymoon phase will faze out....then you do it again, over and over, till you get addicted, till you get obsessed, till you become a groupie

touting off exotic names you will never properly pronounce, they insist it is an escape but do we really need that much deviation from reality. Why fantacize over an $80,000 dollar bag that you will never buy. It is fake love , i won't feel it, i won't post it, i won't dream about it.....moreover there seems to be something wrong with carrying a bag that cost that much when there are people that cannot afford shelter or healthcare, or food, or what have you.....

There are more important things in life than Fashion
Death to the 'It' Bag....Fuck the 'It' shoe...wear your shit from last year like they are brand new
If they don't ask , don't tell; if they do tell , who cares...?
Sure i buy shit, but that shit don't own me
If it ever comes to that, I will go naked

Frenchy California

...I couldn't choose, so i posted all of them
I suppose i could have exercised 'constraint' to show that i wasn't soooo 'whatever posting too many pictures at once' implies
So instead of offering dishonest apologies and disclaimers that i don't mean , i sincerely hope you enjoy.


Wore this to stroll about and grab brunch ....
DIY Skirt, Lacy top was a recent buy from the co-op, didn't have time to sew in proper shoulder pads, so i stuffed it with tissue paper to get a bit of 'sholda' and they actually stayed put. H& M Beret and vintage Joy broach The tights are from H & M, bottom'd off by the ubiquitous Jeffrey's. The  suedechain bag was a bday present from one of my dear friends Nana and the label inside reads Frenchy California which is more than fitting for this ensemble and post title...  







Silence & Noise Bomber jacket


Dude! Where is your carrrrr???

Parking Lot Pimpin'?  hehehehehehehe.



I am a Hungry Cow seeee..this is what i looked like before i DEVOURED some scrumptious Calimari Salad and  never fail Fire Smoke Pizza.....you didn't see it...it was violent!!!


Fantacizing about how it will feel like going down....yummmmmmm. F21 Earings, aren't they purrty??

Evil Grin of SATISFACTION ...

THE END

Agree to DisAgree Tuesday

Blazers make me happy
Animal Prints get me chipper
Urban Preppy..
Crazy Sophisticate

Wore this to work today.

 Forever 21 Blazer and Ring
 Forever 21 Skirt worn as dress (same as below)
Kensie Plaid Tights
Leopard Print Shoes from Ebay 
Vintage Gold Bangle
 Horn Necklace: Off Saks from Seasons Past













A Coworker pointed out to me that i seemed more 'matchy' today than usual , apparently me 'matching' merely boils down to the stripes on my blazer matching the ones on my tights. The truth is i am not down with the "matchy matchy" bizness, in the same vein that i don't believe in Fashion Rules...in my eyes, it isn't so much about 'do' v. 'don't as it is about "PullOff-ability". If you can pull it off, somebody will dig it. If you feel confident in the way you werk it, somebody will notice. In case you haven't noticed by now, here on this blog, we tend to draw a little outside the lines....lol

Monday Shuffle

Shoes: Poetic Licence London
Velvet Animal Print Top: Vintage
Dress: F21 Skirt 
Pink Belt/Gloves: Consignment




 Wore this to work today.This is one of those tops that look wayyyyyy better in person, such a wow piece!! I decided to wear it unbuttoned today over this fishtail F21 skirt-cum-dress. I wasn't in the mood to go to work  Mondays suck! But don't mind me, i am not a morning person...

In the Mix

OLD Poloneck Dress: H & M
Bag: Filenes (it has tiny little gold studs around the top bit)
Animal Print Tights: Rampage
Studded Flats: Shiekh 
Sunnies:  D & G




Mad for Animal Prints obviously. These tights were bought in packs of 5. I have enough to last me for a very long time.... LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I especially love that they come in a subtle black shade so i can wear them to work and not look  inappropriate. Arguably, these might be considered inappropriate for most people, but i happen to work in a very' hip' and style conscious department..where you get cheers instead of jears for your sartorial choices! Plus i can't imagine working in an office where my 'craziness and weird tendencies' are discouraged...I would just freelance 100%

I tend to wear flats more often these days..idk.it is a 'thing' at the moment. Although 90 percent of my shoes are very high heels, i am staying low to the ground for now. Weird thing is , i also tend to wear the same shoes over and over again even though  i have a shoe closet filled with well.... shoes..I feel like all my heels are jealous, but to make them feel better, I line them up around the room and give them each a good pettin...(O don't judge me).

Gotta go now, Life beckons.....Hope you all are faring well. My very best to you all....xx

Walk in Progress

People call you crazy when you don't think like them
They say you are blind when you don't see like them
They call you a bitch when you refuse to bend over and take it
Why, you must be odd if you veer off into your own thing
Better not let their shit get on you....
The truth is they don't know jack.

I wrote this status message the other day...and it came unprovoked...I don't adjust to any light that i didn't myself create: Be who you are, even if it makes other people uncomfortable. Speak your mind, even it means fewer people will like you. Better to be hated being yourself than to be loved pretending you are somebody else. Don't wait on others to tell you about you,Define yourself in your own words, the way i see it, compliments and flattery can only get you but so far....

Totally Unrelated pictures i just took of me trying to navigate my walk in 'jungle'  closet


dress: Max Studio worn as a one sleeve... dress is MULTI PURPOSE obviously
shoes: Alice & Olivia  for Payless booties
Sweater: Kensie .Worn like this to work last wk

So i've been TRYING to convert my Den into a 4th closet, don't ask...it isa RIDICULOUS. FAIL!  Clothes and whatnots are overflowing from every which way, i oughta hire someone to sort me out , but i am a DIY pusha, i'd rather die trying...so ya anyway , started working on my walk in, the truth is every time i start, the thought of never finishing cuts me off, and with any little time i have to devote, Life keeps a'tuggin from every angle .....

 in the future instead of a mansion with walk in closets like some stuffy princess, i want a loft decorated to look like a huge fitting room  with wall to wall mirrors ,with my shoes on permanent display in built in wall shelfs and racks and racks of clothes sorted by type as my  only focus. Thats it. ok maybe add my bicycle randomly perched against the wall...and you will have me..
