Prints and Pavements

Leather Jacket: Top Shop
Bag: Urban Outfitters  Hat: Free People


Pants and Top: Free People 


Boots: Nine West

Necklace: Vintage


Spent the day doing a little vintage and thrift shopping. The weather here in Michigan has been brutal, but luckily temperatures were relatively mild enough for me to wear my leather jacket from Top Shop. I love how rocker and bold it looks as well as its perfect fit. Decided to pair my Brocade Flocked Skinny printed jeans with a mustard color knitted top, both from Free People. I'm so in love with the ivory and black color detailing of the pant, giving denim some edge. Adding my wide brim hat, vintage styled lace boots from Nine West, as well as my vintage clock styled necklace sealed my look perfectly. I'm always drawn to bold prints, bohemian styles and rocker edge-all deeply influenced by music, my perceptions and personality, as well as the world around me.

Time Travel


Dress: Free People  Hat: Forever21 




Boots: Vintage 

Necklace: Vintage  Ring: Thrift
My Beautiful mother admiring the general splendor 




Took a trip downtown to the Detroit Historical Museum, which happens to be a favorite of mine. So interactive, each room is a replica of a distinct period in time. They even have a part that looks like a little town filled with storefronts and small shops. The coolest part is how the ground pavements change from cobblestone to brick, which matches different eras, so you feel like you're actually there! I decided to wear my Bow and Arrow Henley Dress from Free People with a rust color brim hat. I absolutely love the turquoise print of the dress as well as the ruffled hem, and in FP style it's very comfortable. Adding my vintage boots and key necklace with a fringe bag were the perfect accessories to seal my look. Not a bad way to start the weekend.

With Stride, In Command



Blouse, Trouser Pant, and Belt: American Apparel


Pumps: Steve Madden 

Bag: Marc Jacobs 



Lip Color: "Fiore" by Stila
I am absolutely in love with this white Secretary Chiffon Blouse and High Waist Trouser Pants from American Apparel. So versatile, you can pair them with just about anything in your closet for a more dressy or casual look. They also are perfect for any occasion, whether it's a day at the office, drinks with the girls, or Sunday morning service at church (which I opted for). I decided to keep the blouse untied for a more relaxed look and paired it with leopard pumps by Steve Madden and my vibrant pink bag by Marc Jacobs, so as to not make my look so serious. The pumps and bag makes my look fun and add the perfect pop of color and style.  I feel sexy and in command in this outfit- like I could run the world, but let's just take it one step at a time...in leopard pumps that is.
