Welcome to my hood!

*sigh* Theres no better place I'd rather be than NYC on a beautiful spring night. Spent the night driving around the city (mainly Brooklyn, DUMBO area) taking pictures and just really taking in the scenery....damn I love my city, no other place on earth like it. Often times you get so wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of the city that you truly don't get the opportunity to appreciate it. This is only the tip of the iceberg, this spring/summer I intend to explore the city, and truly appreciate and take in everything that it has to offer.

Until next time...

Live. Love. Notoriously

Hi Kia, can you please give me at least two outfits to go with these shoes? I cant wear crop tops to school or holes in jeans above the knee, everything else is cool:) thanks!

 

Hey Jada thanks for contacting me, I would love to help you out. I think jean on jean is hot, and it serves as a nice neutral pallet that would make your sneakers really POP and stand out. On the other hand you can play with the colors in the sneakers by mixing and matching different color blazers. Leather skinny pants are dope and can dress up any outfit. Lastly, I gave you the option of just throwing on a leopard top to play off the whole safari theme in the sneakers. If you don't own a leopard top you can always wear a top wit some type of ethnic print. I hope this helps and good luck!

 

Peace & dopeness <3

Hi Kia,
  
 My name's Shanae im from Brooklyn and my 21st birthday is coming up very soon (JANUARY 4TH 2013 TO BE EXACT). Anywho im completely buggin out because i have yet to find an outfit, im low on funds, and im confused about what i should wear. BTW for my birthday im going to dinner with my boyfriend, and then im going to the club with my family. (Its Aspen social club btw if you wanna come im inviting you lol ). anyways, what do you think i should wear? should i wear a dress even tho its January? should i wear two diff outfits to dinner and then to the club? omg help lol

Hey Shanae, thanks so much for your email. HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!! You only turn 21 once so go all out. Personally I think you should wear a dress, a nice long sleeve dress would do if you're concerned about the cold weather. If you're coming home after the dinner with your boyfriend and then going back out I would suggest two separate outfits. On the other hand one outfit for the night should suffice, this way you're not trying to find two separate outfits or somewhere to change. Forever 21, Asos.com, and Missselfridge.com all have really nice affordable dresses. I've also attached an image board I created for some inspiration. I hope this helps and happy birthday <3

Peace & dopeness,

Kia
