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

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’: style diary

18 Oct

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 →

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: style diary

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 →

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN?: hotness

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. Nothing serious, just someone or sometimes a subject/entity that heightens my radar for the moment. I’m always sharing […]
