Hey Everyone,

This past Wednesday, I attended the launch of Philly Blog Love , founded by Jessie of Trend Hungry . As always it was a great time mingling and meeting an array of bloggers. The event included fashion and lifestyle bloggers, like myself, as well as travel, beauty and even a "green" lifestyle blogger. It was great!

 Blogging has not only been a creative outlet for me to share my love of fashion but has enabled me to meet great like-minded people. Over good food and drinks nonetheless! I hope everyone is enjoying this hot, hot weather at the beach!

Happy Friday!

 Hey everyone, 

Last night I attended the Glamour Live Event in Philly. There was great food, drinks sponsored by Fuze and a fun performance by OCD. Best of all, I was able to meet a handful of Philly bloggers and probably the entire Urban Outfitters creative team. (Likely because Color Me Nana hosted and she is apart of the URBN umbrella.) The party def had the Urban/ Free People vibe and I was the black sheep out. Or Black Cat! I hardly ever wear black and this jumpsuit and my leopard print shoes sure made me feel, well kind of... sexy. I guess there will be more black for me in the future.

Thanks for reading!

Hey Guys, 

I hope everyone had a great 4th! Did you do anything exciting ? Leon and I were out walking the city for a bit and it was so humid. The weather here in the east coast has been erratic lately, its hot and humid most of the day, then when its pouring rain and it gets kind of cold! This vest is perfect for the summer weather, its light enough to throw over for an added layer & adds the cool factor to a dainty lace dress. What do you keep warm with it when the weather cools?

 Hey Guys,

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. My summer has officailly started since finishing my CAD course. Can you believe we are celebrating the 4th so soon?

Okay, as of lately you know I've been talk about the 90's trending. This "casual, walking to school outfit" has definite elements of the 90's, umm tie dye! Love! The 90's are making a major come back this year and I have to admit, I am loving it. The best part about trending decades' past is that if you missed out on trends then, you have a second chance at it now.  My chance has come for the "Carrie" name necklace, which I always wanted as a teenager. My "Shao" (my husband's last name)  has made its way around my neck, permanently. (Well for now at least.) I highly recommend this necklace if you are looking for an everyday dainty look.

I wonder if the bubble jackets will make its way back in the coming years? Everyone was wearing it in Japan this past winter.  Yes, I had a bright banana yellow bubble jacket in the 90's. What was your favorite 90's trend?

its hammer time... nino brand launch

Hey guys,

Last Thursday I attended a fashion brand launch, Nino Brand. Bela Shehu, the designer behind the brand hosted a beautiful party with Philly’s most fashionable. It was nice to see so many familiar faces and meeting some cool new ones. ;)

Nino brand consistent of architectural pieces with a palette of black, grey and white. I could see myself sporting one of there effortless but yet edgy pieces. Check her out here!

Being that I am petite, I paired the oversized and dropped crotch harem pants with a fitted vest. In my opinion, clothing should be paired with their opposites. If you wear something tight on top, pair it with looser bottoms. If something is overtly sexy, like a mini skirt. I tend to pair it with a flowy or long sleeve shirt. My rule of them is opposite attracts! (and make things more interesting!) 

Hanging out with Jacqui from Burgundy Whisper.

What do you think of the look? Would you ever wear hammer pants?
