"On the Bandwagon"

Yep! I did it, I went against my word and jumped on the Phillip Lim bandwagon, I just couldn't resist. I had initially fell in love with the collection way before it came out and like everyone else waited with bated breath for it to be released. The line was released while I was on vacation in Jamaica, but when I returned my social media news feed was full of pictures and posts of sold out Targets, people buying up pieces of the collection in bulk, and even Target online was sold out. I was completely over it at that point and was not going to stress myself trying to find the pieces I originally wanted, but then the fashion Gods smiled on me....LOL
 I happened to be on an different side of town shopping for therapy materials and I ran into a Target to buy some toiletries and guess what, the pieces that I wanted were there and in my size......fashion divine intervention I guess.

I paired the skirt with a thrifted Diane Von Furstenburg blouse ($1.50 can you believe it???), Jeffery Campbell platforms, simple gold accessories, and I used the coordinating scarf as a head wrap.

Although it is technically fall here in Atlanta, we have had some pretty amazing weather. So as you see I am taking full advantage of these warm 85 degree temperature days.

So how amazing is this blouse?? I love the details and the feel of the fabric. I can't believe I lucked up on it at the thrift store. This vintage Chanel pin is another thrift store treasure that I found years ago. About three years ago I took it to to have it appraised to see if it was real, and honey chile' it was!! I paid $3.50 for it, but the woman I took it to looked up the serial number and told me I could sale it for at least $400-$500.....amazing right??? It is a staple in my wardrobe for sure you can see how I have wore it HERE and HERE .

Yep my eyes are semi closed but oh wells... I love the shot....LOL. So did any of you ladies hop on the Phillip Lim bandwagon? What did you buy? Word on the street is it is now on super clearance at Target...hmm. You can check out the other pieces of the collection HERE.

"Menswear Chic in the City"

This weekend I attended an event hosted by a new group I joined here in Atlanta called Blog Fab Fashionistas. It was an great networking event that was held at Bou Chic Boutique in East Atlanta.
The theme for the night was "Sex in the City" which was perfect because  like most of you ladies it is my favorite series/movie of all time!!!!! Personally it is my fashion bible....church!

My look for the night was menswear chic inspired by Miranda Hobbs. My three other friends of 13+ years and I have nicknamed our crew "Sex in the City" so I just stayed with my assigned character.

And of course there were Cosmopolitans......

As you see I am towering over by girl NeShanta from Style is She. Hands down the best "Carrie" of the night.

I had a great time and met a wonderful group of ladies. I definitely can't wait until the next event! To all my Sex in the City fans, which character inspired you the most?

"Mint Color Block"

Mint has quickly become one of my favorite colors (next to purple of course). I found this top recently at Forever 21 and loved the color blocking of the two greens. 

I paired it with a pair of distressed jeans that I first wore here, and my favorite gold accessories.

I hope everyone is having a great week. Mine has been beyond hectic, but I am excited because I will be leaving out on tomorrow to meet my besties in NYC. If you follow me on twitter or Instagram you probably know that I am the biggest Jay Z fan in the world. With that being said it was no question that I was going to Brooklyn to see him perform in the new Barclay Center. We are going to the final concert on Saturday night and I can't wait! I get a fashion high when I go to NYC, so I am super excited to share the images that I will capture and of course my NYC inspired OOTD with you . My blog is almost a year old (yipeee) and it is ironic that the second post I did was when I went to the Watch the Throne tour last year. Check out the post here.
