WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Week 8, Fall Diary

Thanksgiving Day week! Boy was I looking forward to a much needed break from work and school, and my trip down to DC to visit my best friend for the holiday’s festivities. I remember this week pretty clearly, because i tried a fashion experiment with myself. Basically I always visualize outfits, usually they end up being items that I don’t actually own, so that’s usually how I decide what will be my next purchase for my closet. This week though, well really Monday and Tuesday I visualized what I would want to wear ideally based on my mood, and figured out what I had in my closet that would most closely emulate that. I liked the results a lot, but by Wednesday I had a midterm to study for and packing to do, so I couldn’t put that much thought into recreating my wardrobe. I’m going to practice this method more in the Winter and see what I come up with.

This is a short week in my Style Diary, by the time I Continue reading →

WHAT’S GETS YOU MOVIN’: STYLE DIARY (week 7)

4 Jan

I took a little break on posting my Fall Style Diary, but I never stopped shooting! Over the next couple weeks, as the chill starts to set in, I’ll show you how I warmed things up, some of the time, this Fall. Also I’m looking forward to expanding Style Diary, and What Gets You Movin’, in general. 2013 is going to be a good one!

This particular week in November there was no mood, it was rather random actually, but at least the weather was decent, hence me showing my gams! I remember this week though, it was close to midterms, as always I barely slept, and on Tuesday I found out I was showing in a group show that Friday. The show was the 3rd annual Night of Arts in Chelsea.

Monday i rocked Continue reading →

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Fall Style Diary (week 6)

26 Nov

After a week working from home and a week off from school because of Sandy, I was ready to put some clothes on and start the week, well that’s what I thought. I’m not sure in what ways the storm affected you, but for me it created a reflective, even somewhat somber tone on things that made me put some things into perspective.

It made not want to post anything to the blog because it just seemed trivial and silly, and I really didn’t care about dressing and style. For this week I was predominately focused on my photography and video work, and finalizing the details of going to Art Basel in Miami.

Monday I got into take care of business mode, with my new Continue reading →

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Fall Style Diary (week 4)

26 Nov

Hey Guys! So I’ve been shooting but not posting, but the pics are coming. As most of you know, NYC was hit by Hurricane Sandy. This post is pre-Sandy, and by the weekend I was locked in my apartment bracing for the storm. Thankfully nothing major happened where I lived, but none the less we were all affected by the disaster, so much so, that I didn’t leave the house for all of Week 5!

Mondays tend to be a relaxed day or a day I dress to Continue reading →

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Fall Style Diary

24 Oct

By the end of last week, I decided I need to add more color in my wardrobe. I can’t say a completely succeeded in that, but hey it was an attempt. Right now black is just on my mind, although I am in search of a nice brown leather jacket…but that’s not exactly color in my wardrobe is it? lol

This was another week of playing catch up and no sleep, I figure if I go 2 more weeks hard, I should catch up on work things…so bare with me as I look exhausted in these and upcoming pics. Really this week was about details, just to add a little something to an outfit, and anything that is quick an easy.

Monday I was ready to conquer the world, so Continue reading →

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: style diary

In Week 2 for my Fall Style Diary, comfort was key! I needed things that were quick and easy, plus I was just kind of lazy. Many people confuse comfortable clothing with sloppy clothing, and that doesn’t have to be the case. A dress is heck a lot easier for me to put on than a pair jeans, and I instantly look i put in some effort when i really didn’t! Along with comfort, this week was about a statement piece, which was my new studded leather jacket. I love it! It dresses anything up. The other key piece are my Jeffery Campbell Brit Wrap Strap Boots. I’ve been eyeing strap boots for minute, and these did exactly what i wanted; they’re a great pair of moto boots to go with my moto jacket.
My favorites fits this week came in the latter portion of it, which were Thursday, Friday and Continue reading →

8 Oct

As I said last week, my Style Diary is back! The fall season has inspired me to go back to my Style Diary that has been off and on since 2010. As I’ve always said, i don’t consider myself a fashionista, or even a style guru, I’m not even a shopaholic; I just enjoy the process of making outfits and how a clothing and fit can affect your mood and shape.

For those who are new, I really don’t have a particular style, I dress by mood, and I like what I like. I guess an ongoing theme within my closet is vintage inspired, rock star feel, and classic silhouettes…you can tell me if you agree.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were my favorite outfits of the week. Accessories are always a staple for me, but the key piece this week was my new Continue reading →

Yelawolf I’ve decided to add a new category to What Gets You Movin, and that would be ‘Hotness’! Since I was about 14, I’ve had these mini crushes on people, a new person almost every other week.
