Crochet & Boots

DSC_0091DSC_0133 DSC_0082 DSC_0075DSC_0120

I love this look. I found this brown suede skirt years ago at a second hand store.  I love the detail and the shape. I’ve wore it like one time.  For my “Mona Lisa” video premiere screening a few years ago and today.  I love the crochet neck warmer.  I got this from my friend Tawny’s boutique for the “Afro City” web series.  It keeps you so warm.  I guess it keep all the body heat in.  I felt the difference instantly when I took it off.   Got the cowboy boots second hand also.  I just pair these items with a plain brown tank and there you have an outfit unlike any other…lol

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  I am looking forward to sharing an exciting 2014 with you and experiencing things I’ve never experienced before.  Thank you for joining me on my journey.  I started to stay at home this new years but decided to get dress and hangout in downtown LA.  I had a couple of outfits designated for this occasion (A brown leather dress or a a jean bustier dress with beige tulle for the skirt half) Didn’t end up wearing either.  I decided on a black lace top with black fur that I wore for new years over 10 years ago for a new years party at Raleigh studios in Hollywood and a black tulle with a tutu from Halloween that I wore under it to fluff it out.  I loved my outfit and it was fun getting dress.  These veils are available in my online store. So me and my girlfriend Fatima walked to LA live and hung out there for a few and went to Lucky Strikes because they always have a free new years party. It was a little early, the DJ was spinning and a few people were setting up their bottle service tables and bowling.   We decided to head over to the Bunker Hill bar & Grill to grab something to eat.  They had a DJ and a nice crowd of people so we stayed there and brought in the new year.  It was $10 and they give you free champagne for the midnight toast.  I love their crispy garlic brussel sprouts. After midnight we went to my girlfriends’ Nikki’s house. She had family and friends over. She has this awesome loft downtown.  We laughed, shared our goals for 2014 and took a bunch of pictures.  I met the Rapper YoYo (google her) at Nikki’s house that night.  She was real cool and we talked about working together on a photo project this year.  So that was my new years and this is what I wore.  I started a tradition to do a new years shoot every year with my new years outfit but I didn’t do one last year (so much for the tradition) But here a shot of my new years outfit the year before  taken by my girlfriend Angi :-)

Camouflage Christmas

blogshoot1-8blogshoot1-12greenjacketblogshoot1-11

This was my Christmas outfit.  All Army green.  We had dinner at my Aunts house this year instead of my moms.  I made Mac & Cheese as always. Food was so good. I didn’t eat any meat.  I haven’t eaten it in 2 years, but I think I’m going to start eating meat again in the new year. I really like this jacket with the triangle cut out in the back.  The fringes are made of silver chains.   I wore my hair in a french twist side puff/  Trying new simple styles with the hair lately.

I wore this dress to an annual natural hair that I give every year called the “Afrolicious Hair Affair“.  Here is the link to the event website: Afrolicious Hair Affair It was so awesome this year and it looks like we are going to need a bigger space for next year.  One of our photographers Steve Escarsega pulled me to the side and took these pictures of me at the convention center.  He was great.
