OOTD: Monday Meetings

I know I promised you guys more "Outfit of the Day" posts. I try and keep my promises! 

So since Monday was a holiday I took a meeting and had dinner with one of my closest friends. Again, New York is frigid. I decided to throw on a blanket scarf that I purchased from ASOS during the fall, a pair of  H&M leggings, June Ambrose military boots, H&M hat, my favorite fringe Egostistic Egotism bag and a BLANKNYC vegan leather jacket. Finished the look of with a red lip and a pair of Ray Ban's I have had for about 11 years! 

I literally threw this together because I didn't want to be late. I think it came out pretty DOPE!! If I do say so myself!

OOTD: Sunday's Finest

Ugh! I missed my daily blog last night! You guys have to excuse me! It was All-Star Weekend in New York and I worked most of the weekend and decided to go to the gym then take my mother out for a late Valentines Day yesterday. Once I came home I was comatosed :-(

With all that said I will post a double for you guys today! For the first post let's talk about my outfit of the day on Sunday. (of course all the pictures are selfies because my mother wasn't paying me any mind). 

Let me say this. NEW YORK IS FRIGID! Not cold but FRIGID. The only reason why you see me wearing a leather jacket is because 1) I was in car 2) Every place I went had parking or a parking lot so nothing consisted of walking long distances.

I definitely layered!! I started off with a pair of ripped American Eagle black jeans and a simple Old Navy v-neck black t-shirt with the ASOS Cape (see here for my previous post about this dope cape) along with a BLANKNYC vegan leather jacket, a pair of June Ambrose Lace-Up Zippered Leather Bootie with Pom-Poms (side note: THESE ARE SOOOOOOOOOO comfortable), a Zara hat (which I have had for about two years and yesterday was the first time wearing it) and my Rocco Alexander Wang bag that I picked up at a sample sale in December. Yesterday was the first day I pulled my baby out and she got lots of attention! You don't have to worry about wearing bright colors in the winter it can brighten up your wardrobe.

My Obsession With eBay: My Watch List

Do you guys remember a while back when I told you I had a sick obsession with eBay (yes I know I have many obsessions)? Well, I went on today decided I would share with you what is currently on my watch list.

First on the list is this Men's Genuine Mink Trapper Hat. I live and die for a trapper hat ever since I saw June Ambrose rocking one. 

More than likely her trapper hat is  custom. Grant it I could go to my furrier and see if he can make me a replica of what she had on but I haven't made it to him all season :-( so the next best thing is shopping online! 

Second on my watch list are these beauties. I have thought of a million outfits I can wear with these shoes (sidenote: eBay is a perfect place to find anything that you missed out on in Zara). I am big on purchasing items that can transition from your work life to your nightlife and these are an amazing example.

Lastly on my watch list-well not really because if I was to really list all of the things on my watch list you would be reading this blogpost until your grandkids graduation!!

Let's start this over! Lastly on my watch list are these color blocking beauties. Again, it is a transitional shoe. You can rock these with a dope dress or some orange wide leg pants and a white blouse for work! For nightwear you can rock these with a  pair of distressed shorts and a white blazer. You have a multitude of options. 

If you have the patience to look and bid- eBay is the perfect site for you! I know it's not for some but it can be very beneficial! If you have never been on the site look it up and let me know how you like it.

Vacation Ready: Shoes

Everyone I know will tell you guys that I always overpack! I promised myself every time I got away that I will readily prepare myself... NEVER HAPPENS!

No exceptions this time! 

These are the heels I packed! Some low some high.... 

Today is my last day of vacation and I wore two pair! Crazy! Right? Mind you I had outfits for all of them. 

Let's be honest when on vacation you need a comfy cute pair of flats, water shoes (depends on where you are traveling) and a comfy heel. 

Don't be like me! Pack accordingly especially when are traveling to a warm island!
