Down by the water...

 ...This week we had one super beautiful preview of summer, with one day of 80 degree weather. Oh, what a tease this was for me. Thankfully a lovely friend of mine, Kelly wanted me to model for her magazine class, which not only gave me a chance to be apart of her wonderful photography, it also gave me a chance to prance in my favorite summer gear and just be free....

Inspiring Figure | Carla Bruni

         I don't know where to begin with her. I am in love with her style, stature, music and, well.... the list can go on and on. If you haven't heard of her, Carla Bruni is the First Lady of France and an incredibly talented musician. I have been obsessed with her ever since I heard one of her songs featured in one of my all time favorite movies "500 Days of Summer." If you haven't listened to her,  ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvyMG0z0FZY&list=PLD71546D7388F20D7

Her style amazes me and I really think she is a powerful reflection of the freeing style I'm currently working on for my line ModeAmen. [ModeAmen.com opens soon] Hope to see you there.

Enjoy,

Blooming Spring

About this look:

This is definitely one of my laid back days... well when ever I throw these loose Levi's on it always seems to give me this laid back comfortable feeling, and who wouldn't want that on a gorgeous day anyway? Also I finally found an excuse to pull my favorite Spring/Summer flats out :) I am seriously obsessed with these bad boys, I feel like they add an amazing touch to any outfit from a short summer dress, a long maxi, to... well, these baggy jeans. :] 

I love being comfortable and wearing loose, baggy things, [which makes me miss my long hair even more]  I just feel like I'm missing a huge part of my Boho/ Edgy style but I guess this has also given me an excuse to go hat shopping for interesting hats. Speaking of hats, the one above is from the 50's and I love this thing so much, I bought it Freshman year from this amazing Vintage shop --> http://www.familyjewelsnyc.com/ You can only buy things from the store itself but it's so worth the visit. 

Lately:

Lately I've been searching and discovering a bunch of Thrift stores in Brooklyn, where [I currently reside] and in Manhattan [where I practically live]. Hopefully soon, when I do my Spring shopping I will post more amazing vintage and thrifty finds for you lovely readers.

 So this is pretty much proof of my crazed obsession with Flowers. 

Now that it's Spring and they seem to be everywhere I can't help but snap countless photos of these beauties. This is actually a garden I pass everyday on my walk to the train, and I have to say I love the touches they add to this garden everyday, the statues honestly make me feel like this is some mystical garden in a magical land. Finally we are escaping this bitter weather and entering something Beautiful, 

Spring.

Style| Detail

Accessories, lipstick and small detail can really make a difference. I honestly can't imagine getting dressed with out adding touches like these. After all if we don't add these things how can we call an outfit our own. 

This is one of my more girly looks, with one of my favorite dresses ever from Mandees. The freeing organza on the bottom always makes me feel like a little princess, and since I don't want to look completely like a disney princess I added some dark touches with my usual angled black eye liner, and a dark plum lip color. [Trending] 

Lastly  to add to the mix I put jewelry that normally wouldn't be paired together, which is some Indian bangles from Saint Marks, and My favorite tiny glasses necklace from H&M.

Style|Laid back

 Lately, the weather has been so unpredictable and different everyday, so my style has been completely different day to day which has been pretty exciting :) This is more of my loose fitting grunge style with a bit of a twist with the touches of color. This style is perfect for a comfy day, and if it's cold out your tights go nicely under your baggy jeans, which I LOVE  because I hate feeling constricted in clothing and I am not a huge fan of being cold either. Win, win. :) Tell me what you think about this particular style!
