style diary, week 9

4 Mar

Lucky number 9!  Ok, actually i don’t find 9 lucky, but I’m a wee bit delirious at the moment, since I’m working on an 1 1/2 hours of sleep, but it’s all good.  Last week i mentioned the sad news that my SLR camera broke and is in the shop.  As a result, this week I played with my point and shoot camera, to see if I could come up with some acceptable imagery.  I think that it worked out pretty well. What do you think? No double-outfit day posts like last week’s Friday, but i did get inspired by horizontal images.

This week my favorite picture was Thursday.  In the Style Diary it seems like I rarely smile, but I actually do, so I thought the picture caught a great moment.  Thursday may also be my favorite outfit, I love the teal corduroys and the printed top. But I have to go with Saturday, my denim jacket has been my go-to item, and I’m definitely feeling the maroon tights; I need to add colored tights to my wardrobe stat!

Ok, I had to keep it short and sweet, this week is CRAZY…and that’s an understatement. I’m going to bed!

style diary, week 8

26 Feb

Waawhoooo! Week 8, 2 months down! Like every week until May, I have a lot to jam into my days with very little sleep, so comfort seems to be the key to everything for me. Even when I’m going ‘out out,’ I’ve taken the getting dressed up thing down a few notches. Heels seem like such a pain in the butt right now…but i’m sure I’ll get over it when the weather warms my toes.

You’ll notice that my Harllem lace-up boots by Steve Madden, that debuted in Week 7, are in full effect this week. They are so comfortable and perfect with this icky weather. Whether I’m wearing them with legging, relaxed jeans, or a skirt, i tend to feel bad ass in them, sort of like a sexy girl rockin’ Tims in a weird way.

Since I’ve started Style Diary, I haven’t posted my clothing changes. We all have days we wear more than one outfit, so I decided to post mine on Friday. I’m not sure if I like how it looks aesthetically on the site, but when i make a decision you may be seeing more.

Anywho, my favorite picture this week was Sunday, maybe it was the white shirt that made my eyes look striking, but I just thought the picture was the strongest. My favorite outfit of the week was Friday night. You can’t go wrong with a leather skirt and I’ve been a little bit obsessed with denim jackets as of late. I thought it was a cute outfit for a run-in with my crush, even if i didn’t end up speaking to him. lol

Be pleased with how you look each time you walk out the house! Enjoy the rest of your week!

style diary, week 7

20 Feb

What comes after a Week of Insanity (that’s what I dubbed Week 6)? …Madness?  I don’t know what it is, but last week was one hell of a week, and on top of that I had some technical difficulties; my baby (my camera) died!  Thankfully, as I write this, I’m getting more centered; next week’s Style Diary, among other things will be up (fairly) on time.  I’m really looking forward to next week, but I’ll tell you more about that when things are finalized, it involves a lot more writing though.

For Week 7 and even this upcoming week, I’ve fallen into my normal rut of lack of self-discipline. I rarely stick to things; I’m amazed and proud of myself that I’m able to say I’m posting Week 7 and working on Week 8.  Two months!  But when you’re running late for classes, going to meetings, on the phone constantly for your client, practicing hosting, working on personal photo projects, or just wanting to relax…taking a picture of what you sometimes literally threw on is not always fun, and there are many days that I think this whole thing is narcissistic and I want to quit. It’s actually the positive responses to the Style Diary and the many hits to the site that keeps me going, so a big thank you, to you!

You’ll notice that there is a new pair of boots on my feet this week!  There not quite the Sendra Old English boots I mentioned here, but they’ll work.  I can’t wait to wear them with dresses.  Also they worked out perfect with this snowy, icy weather we’ve been having here in NYC.  I feel I’ve been in a masculine and overly comfy phase lately, and these boots only add to it.

My favorite outfit of the week is Friday.  I don’t get to wear my Alfred Sung blouse very often, so it was great to finally wear it with the vintage lace-up boots like i envisioned.  My purse strap that I wear as a belt was the perfect touch.  Friday was also my favorite picture of the week. Oh and Wednesday was a snow day, no classes, and I stayed inside all day, no cameras allowed! =)

See you next week, early, for Week 8!

Style Diary: Week 5

2 Feb

Oh what a week, my last week of sanity!  Although my wardrobe for Week 5, doesn’t necessarily reflect someone who is about to lose their marbles, I do know that there will no longer be pictures such as Tuesday of Week 4 or this week’s Monday. Note, on Monday I stayed under my sheets all day writing, reading, and relaxing.

The 1st part of the week was chill, then I needed to tie up some loose ends, and then get some serious partying in.  You may remember that my previous post, In the Know, was for a party at the Brooklyn lounge, Deity, which DJ Dummy was spinning.  That was Saturday’s outfit.  Amazing party, we shut the place down!  My favorite outfit and picture though, is Friday.  It was perfectly suited for an incredible night of dancing at Santos; Just Blaze officially moved to my second favorite DJ after that night.

Other than that, there was nothing too spectacular in styling on my part this week.  Actually what I did find that was spectacular, was how pretty my eyes are with a little light shined into them.  Let me find out all this time that I wished I had light eyes; I only had to walk around with a spotlight attached to my head!

Until next week…we’ll see how my week of insanity works out. Wish me luck!
