This past Saturday I had the opportunity to participate in a shoot for Unorthodox Clothing in the legendary Bushwick section of Brooklyn. When I say I got my life...listen! There are so many dope locations in Bushwick, you seriously can let your creativity run wild. I love Bushwick, it's industrial, raw and gritty...probably what the inside of my head looks like. Every inch is pretty much decorated in graffiti art and murals. 

I think this shoot really captured the aesthetic of Unorthodox - who are inspired by the subcultures on NYC and Cali. In this shoot, I wore their "Divine Right" t-shirt. The collar is decorated in religious symbols and the base of shirt adorns the word Diversus which is Latin for "different." If you're not familiar with Unorthodox (I highly encourage you to get your life), they live by the mantra "Dare to be Different." Unorthodox is for the non-believers, the people who refuse to conform, the ones who live by their own set of rules - the chosen ones!

Historically Divine Right is based on a medieval doctrine that Kings are chosen by God himself and therefore can only be judged by Him. The doctrine implies that any attempt to dispose the King or restrict his powers runs contrary to the will of God and may constitute a sacrilegious act. Whether king or pauper, we all have a divine right to happiness and all that we desire. To interfere with someone's purpose in life is to interfere with God's will. Assert your divine right to be great every day. Align your life with all that you desire. You can and will achieve happiness. Purpose, find it and live it. Absorb positivity and all things beautiful. Denounce negativity. Live life to the fullest and claim your throne!

Back To School Lookbook

How I Style a Basic Maxi Dress || #NotoriouslyStyled

I'm only here for one night...

                                    

then I'll only be a memory 

*gags*

If you know me, you know I’m a HUGE Weeknd fan, like I totally cry at his concerts and everything (yes it’s that serious!). Last night via Twitter Mr. Tesfaye announced to the universe that he will be hitting the road this fall for the King of the Fall tour also featuring Jhene Aiko & Schoolboy Q (my other two loves, I seriously can’t contain my excitement). The concert kicks off in Brooklyn, my hometown, on September 19^th and is currently scheduled to make only three other stops in Toronto (9/21), Los Angeles (10/9), and finishing up in San Francisco (10/10). Tickets will be available for purchase July 11^th so mark your calendars. In the meantime, check out my Spodify playlist dedicated to the GREATNESS that is The Weeknd below.

$20 & a Dream

So I'm back with yet another thrift haul & lookbook. This time I stopped by The Goodwill in Stratford, New Jersey to get my fix. If you're ever in the South Jersey area make sure you guys check out this Goodwill, it's everything in life! I also gave myself a really strict budget of $20 because every single time I thrift I purchase a whole bunch of stuff that I never wear which eventually end up getting re-donated smh. It was difficult trying to narrow things down but in essence of saving time and money I made it work.

What's interesting about this lookbook is I managed to naturally pick up items that fit well together so it was a breeze to style these pieces. This lookbook is all about colors and prints. Check out my outfit breakdown after the break.

Chill Musik

Check out my latest Spodify playlist above. I entitled it Chill Musik because thats exactly what I do when I listen to these songs - chill out and just let the music make love to my soul. Enjoy & tell me what you think!

Oh yea, don't forget to follow me :)

Thrift Show & Style

I'm so over the weather here in NYC. Seriously this is the most brutal winter/spring/wishy washy weather ever ugh! 

The weather finally broke for like a day so I jumped on the opportunity to go thrifting...nicer weather is definitely inspiration. Typically when I go thrifting I pretty much buy whatever catches my eye, but on this occasion I gave myself a strict budget/item limit which forced me to be a little more selective with the items I chose. I'm trying to be a bit more disciplined when it comes to shopping. I tend to buy items then hang them in my closet never to be looked at again.  I'm such a hoarder :(
