Memo 223: Subpolar Ankara Prints
To: All
Subject: The Black Style List: Designers of Color - Part III
From: Me
Date: February 22, 2016
__________________________________________________________________________________
While I was in New York last week, I experienced a pretty diverse range of weather conditions. We started off with subpolar temperatures hitting a high of 1 degree all the way to 55 degrees with torrential downpours. Somewhere in the middle, it snowed and this is what I wore.
For this look, I brought out a few oldies but goodies: The MCB Shop's leather turban and Boxing Kitten's ankara print pencil skirt. This look may look a little light considering the snow but trust and believe that the oversized scarf from Zara provided the much needed heat to get me through the day.
Although the Boxing Kitten pencil skirt is currently unavailable, I do adore the ankara print pieces from designer Rueben Reuel in his line, Demestiks New York and the Jinaki collection from designer Sharufa Rashied - Walker.
Get into these designers to satisfy your ankara print needs!

Memo 182: Camp Conrad - The Lost Files

Happy beginning of my birthday month to you! Ha! I'm trying not to be that person that celebrates all month but when it's a special occasion (i.e. a national celebration) you must give it the proper acknowledgment!

Guess what?! I've found some lost files from the camping trip that I was on earlier this year! First of all, the ACE hotel is one of the most colorful and energetic places to be in Palm Springs. Most importantly, it looks great in photos!
 |
We spent the entire last day of the trip acting UP. If I remember correctly, there was a murder mystery game involved (the name escapes me) and tons of jokes being told around the picnic tables by the pool. Super fun day!
When you go to the ACE hotel, you can't come with anything too boring. ACE screams color, so you bring it!

Memo 123: Patent Leather Skirt Lover

I was at the flagship H&M store in London on Oxford Street when I first saw her. She was hanging out with the others just sitting there maxing and relaxing all cool. When I first laid eyes on her, I was a little bit apprehensive. See the way that my luggage was set up, I didn't know if there would be additional space. So, I left her there with the agreement with myself, that if I wanted her I would return.
I wanted her. So, I returned.
Get in my luggage you, sexy patent leather midi skirt, you.

Memo 075: Shopping My Closet

Subject: Fashion Rule! of the Moment
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Aren't you proud of me?
Just nod your head "yes".
I've been following this Fashion Rule! to a tee!:
I've had this Zimmermann (I know...) Jumpsuit, the ASOS Clutch and the Report Signature Sandals for a couple of years. The MCB Shop turban and ASOS Regal Dog Necklace are newer pieces that have given this jumpsuit a different look.
What's your favorite Fashion Rule? Have you discovered any new rules?
Feel free to share!

DO shop your closet. Sometimes, all you need to add is a new piece here and there to create a completely new look with some pieces that are already in your very own personal boutique.

Memo 065: All Summer Long
To: All
From: Me
Date: June 4, 2013
Subject: Turbantastic!
_____________________________________________________________________________________
So, remember how I said that I was wearing turbans all summer?
Well, that's definitely happening.
I'm in the midst of some very serious hair confusion. It is currently 1/6 natural (like 2 or so inches beyond new growth). Some days I want to color it, cut it off, braid it up, grow it out or add a little extra. All I do know is that I'm ready for a change. Coupled with the fact that it needs to be able to handle a 4 - 5 day workout schedule, I'm not exactly sure which change to make at this moment.
So, until then, I'll put a turban on it!

Memo 059: Turban Fever
To: All
_______________________________________________________________________________
By golly, I've figured it out!
I'm declaring here and now that, all summer, I'm wearing turbans! It's so perfect. It's my top knot for the summer, ready at a moment's notice!
This turban here is from The MCB Shop. The best thing about it other than that it's super fabulous is that I didn't have to sit in front of my computer for seven hours watching You Tube tutorials to learn how to tie it. I just put it on!
Literally, what more can you ask for in life?!
