Fa Hairstyle

{Blue dress, blue shoes} What a weekend it's been! I was very productive and got my closet in order, was able to drop off some clothing at Beacon's and in doing so, picking up a few things with my store credit! Ahh, new-ish clothes makes me happy! You guessed, it, i'm still not buying any new clothing, only trades for store credit or blog shops with money that comes from selling my own clothing through my {no longer} shop my closet. Sadly, I just don't have the time to photograph and list things anymore so I had to close up shop. The nice thing about Brooklyn, is that there is 3 re-sell places right in my neighborhood { Beacon's Closet , Buffalo Exchange and the newly opened Crossroads trading }. Going through these channels have made my life a whole lot easier. I highly suggest checking them out to see if there's a location near you, they've definitely help me keep my closet under control. Just another reason why I put myself on a shopping ban; I bought...

Choosing a Gift of Lingerie for Your Lady By Maralaina Holliday One of the greatest challenges faced by modern man is entering the lingerie shop to purchase a gift for his wife. This act; when done with loving intention, is one of the most endearing moves a man can make. For the man; the privilege of selecting a gift of lingerie somehow signifies a "right of passage" into the intimacies of her real world. His First Venture into the Lingerie Shop . For the average male; not only is this "bra paradise" unfamiliar territory; but his very presence here seems to proclaim "I'm in an intimate relationship with a woman". A surrounding audience of female shoppers doesn't make it any easier. Bewildered, somewhat bashful, and a little uncomfortable... the man faces his first hurdle. The friendly sales lady asks him: "what size bra does she wear?" Enter "The Man who Knows" As lingerie professionals, we sigh in admiration at the veteran-lin...

{One Sunday} I'm posting this now in order to remind myself {and fellow NYCers} that not too long ago there were signs of Spring. As I type this I'm trying not to pay attention to the hail that sounds like it's going to break through my window and thunder that sounds just like my stomach at lunch time. Oh how I love to be dramat ic! But really, this is gross. Thank goodness we had a gorgeous day on Sunday and I have these pictures to serve as proof that one day soon it will be sunny. I loved this building that was painted all white! So rare to find in Brooklyn that I wonder how often they need to maintain it graffiti free. I'm really loving pulling out more casual, laid-back outfits for the weekends. It's very unfussy and easy going that I don't feel out of place no mater where I go. {monk vintage} {beacon's closet} {my boyfriend} {Brooklyn Bowl} {Union Pool} {in the photobooth} {our pictures} {Champs sticky cinnamon bun} So let's see where to begin, we...

Here's my part 2 from last weekends blogger meet up extravanganza! I arranged a little brunch meet up at The Organic Grill on First ave. with Meg , Veronika and Rachel . Little did I know the trains we going to be ridiculous and I ended up being half an hour late! Me! I'm usually NEVER late to be quite honest with you. I try very hard o be on time and even early to everything. Anyways, the girls had time to get a table and some coffee in while they waited for me. Once we finished brunch, which was delicious by the way. I definitely recommend The Organic Grill for vegetarian/vegans looking for a place in the city. We moved on to Brooklyn, where I took the ladies shopping at Beacon's Closet. Where else would I take them??? I was very good at keeping with my no buying rule ( which some of you have asked if I'm not buying ANYTHING or if it's just not NEW, to answer your question, i'm not buying ANYTHING, just swapping or selling). Right before going in, we stopped ...

I have such a hard time sifting through all the fantastic questions you have! Grrr, it's so hard to not just email you back with my answers right away! I really do hope you all don't mind me taking my time in answering these. Here's this weeks: 1. What is the one pair of shoes you couldn't live without? It's funny but I never thought of myself as a shoe person. Yeah I have a few but I don't really go seeking shoes and then when I find myself not having any cute new shoes to wear I'll go buy 2 or 3 pairs (4 or 5 if thrifting) all at once! If I had to choose one pair it would be my Dexter boots that I found not too long ago. I feel comfortable wearing them and they go will practically anything I own. Although, my grey Jeffrey Campbells are by far the most popular on this blog! 2. How often do you go shopping? I probably shop once a week. I don't really schedule a time for it. I'll randomly pop in a shop on my way home from work or after having lunch wi...
