WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Fall Style Diary

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

19 Nov

I’m just going to knock all these backed-up Style Diaries out on this nice Saturday!

The last full week of October was a pretty good but a busy week. On Tuesday I got a chance to see my artist and homie, DJ Dummy, kill it at Best Buy theater along side the amazing J.Cole, here in NYC. On Thursday I went downtown to shoot the beautiful and quirky Amel Larrieux perform at City Winery; great show! Other than that it was midterms week, and I was working like a maniac, so I kind of forgot to shoot a few outfits. But hey, Tuesday‘s (this week’s fav outfit) blouse from my favorite vintage store Loveday 31, in Astoria,makes up for that.

Wearing such an adorned top, which i might add is so loose and comfortable, can dress anything up with very little effort.

Also the key for me this week, and most weeks, is wear a good lipstick color, when you’re half dead like I was Wednesday and Thursday, (i was actually dead on Friday) a little color goes a long away, it makes you appear more awake and put together than you actually are.

Happy Dressing!

style diary, week 6

10 Feb

The Week of Insanity, that I mentioned in Week 5, kicked my butt, I’m still recuperating, but I tried my best to look fly, while managing to keep my head from exploding. This week I decided to change things up on how i shot the pictures. I knew we were going to start working with triptychs at the beginning of the semester, so I decided to experiment a little early. I’m on the fence on if I like it for the Style Diary. You can see each piece better, but there is just something about seeing an outfit in its entirety.

I have to admit, it was a bit of a struggle this week to put on clothes, and deal with 15-hour+ days again; juggling so many aspects of my life. More than anything comfort took precedence. I was also extremely excited that I FINALLY replaced my stolen fedora!!! (Sadly last spring someone stole my hat off my head while I was passed out on the train) I wore it for almost 2 years, and it was my favorite hat, so I was heartbroken. Now my heart is mended and you’ll be seeing my fedora a lot more. I have a thing for fedoras, maybe it was my obsession with Indiana Jones and his big brim fedora as a kid. (although I only wear short brim fedoras)

I’m kind of indifferent about my outfits this week; i think I’m in a funk. If I have to choose though, Tuesday is my favorite…when in doubt putting on an Armani blazer always makes you feel better I suppose. My favorite collection of pictures are Friday. I think it’s more interesting than the rest, and the boots look vibrant against the black and white background.

Thank god for snow days, so I can play catch up. Next week’s goal, Style Diary on time!

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 […]
