Photobucket

[this picture was taken back when i had bangs]

www.zarna.com.

i just wanted to see what everyone was listening to. i've been listening to a lot of floetry, lauryn hill, jill scott and carmen 
mcrae recently.even though this is mainly neo-soul and jazz stuff, i like all sorts of music and would love to know what

shorty.

summer has officially arrived all over the country and i decided it was time to whip out
the shorts! here i'm wearing some olive green express shorts, f21 belt, michael kors
tunic, nude nine west gladiators, bronze hoops and orange dooney and bourke bag.

i usually ilke to pair short-shorts with large/loose tops or blazers over tanks. i think
pairing them with tighter tops can start to look a little too revealing (if you're wearing
heels especially!

i'm officially i nashville for a month or so and enjoyed some great vintage shopping
yesterday. i picked up some great vintage accessories that i'll be sharing with you
soon :)

anyways, let me know what you think!

yummy.

i am basically in love with these bebe platform pumps that i bought a while ago 
(as you've seen in a few of my blog posts), so i thought i'd spotlight them a little 
more today. in the outfit photo above, i am wearing them with a LBD and some
blingbling.

i think that buying some serious platform heels is a must if you enjoy wearing
heels. so many people ask me if my feet are uncomfortable and i always tell them:
"the platform is key!". i definitely wouldn't wearing a pair of 5.5" heels without a
platform, i would be in a lot of pain! so there's my advice today! go find some
serious platforms and get back to me ;)

hope everyone's doing well!

guest bloggers: vivek and ehson

so today i've got a great little treat for everyone.  my brother and his best friend have been "fab-ing" their friends and were excited to debut themselves on my blog.

here's one of their friends that they took from drab to fab!  i'll try to get in on the next photo shoot so we can upgrade the photo creativity :) hopefully they will be starting up their own blog soon, ill keep all of you updated!

outfit #1: formal wear

PhotobucketPhotobucket
here's whats wrong:
1) the suit jacket does not fit him well.
2) NEVER button the bottom button.
3) the tie is tied in a full windsor knot.  with his point collar, he should tie a four-in-hand.
4) the tie is so large and takes up too much of his chest.

here's what's right:
1) the suit is a very nice grey color and fits him very well.  the shoulders are a much better fit, the arms are slimmer, and it tapers at his waist when he buttons it.
2) the pants are slim and flat front.  they also create a nice break on the shoes.
3) the shoes are pointed and polished.  you can never go wrong with black and grey.
4) the pink shirt goes perfect with the grey.
5) the tie is black, knitted, and slim - perfect for spring and summer!
6) the tie bar and pocket square pull the whole outfit together.  accessories are essential.  the devil is in the details.

outfit #2: dinner/drinks wear

PhotobucketPhotobucket
here's whats wrong:
1) the jeans are too light for evening wear and they fit terribly.  this creates an illusion that he has more weight than he actually does.
2) the shirt color is too bold with his skin tone and shirt is too big.  it hangs off his shoulders and does not accentuate his shoulders and arms.
3) the sandals are too clunky and large.

here's what's right:
1) the jeans are nicely fitted and are darker for evening wear (a pair of dark denim can take you a long way!)
2) the graphic tee is white, creating a nice color contrast with the jeans and blazer.
3) the blazer is cotton and fits him very well.  the pocket square adds some flair and the rolled up sleeves means he is going for play, not work.
4) the sandals are smaller and casual.  you can also wear some nice black loafers or white sneakers to complete this look.

so would you or someone you know read this blog?

let us know!

so i found these great leopard wayfarers yesterday and had to wear them out! i paired them with
my purple american apparel mini, a white tee, black belt, zebra wedges, colorful clutch and vintage
earrings. i've also been trying out new hair styles and i came up with this wavy number.

i love these little american apparel skirts bc they are very versatile and can be dressed up or down.
they are not very pricey and highly recommended by moi!

what do you think?

essentials!

yesterday i went to see a few art galleries and had a great time! someone commented that i 
should post more tips along with my posts so here i go!

three things that i can't live without are: my black leather blazer, black pumps and plain white 
shirts. i believe every women needs these. it is a great idea to invest in a great black leather 
jacket and black pumps. whenever i can't think of an outfit, i always put on all these items 
with a pair of pants or a skirt. i'll do a post soon with great sites to buy both of these things.

let me know if you'd like to see something else on my blog, i love all the feedback :)

also, happy mothers day everyone!

so it was another blistering hot night in miami and i went to this cool whole-in-the-wall latin
club. i had to wear breathable fabrics so i put on a plain grey tank over some purple, black 
harem pants, a lime colored skinny belt, blue crocodile printed clutch and a turquoise ring. 
i paired all this with my favorite bebe platform pumps!
