Memo 184: Little Blue Riding Hood

Subject: A Pop of Color

__________________________________________________________________________________

Yup, I sure did dust this H&M cobalt blue coat off and wear it again. Look at how rich the color is against this black and white Club Monaco dress! I'm pretty much cobalt blue slaying on the way to grandmother's house.

I still love a look with a good pop of color. It adds a little drama that can take a look from ordinary to extraordinary. Pops can be added with simple accessories like a nice piece of arm candy all the way down to a bold statement making shoe.

A couple of updates and reminders for you!

Memo 110: So Icy

Hello, my name is Tiffany and I'm addicted to designer collaborations. 
Hi Tiffany…

Back in November, November 14th to be exact, I waited in line for the Isabel Marant for H&M designer release. I previously owned not one Isabel Marant item (not even the wedge sneakers!) and this H&M collabo was my chance.

If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that I walked out with a couple of very cute bags filled with goodies from the collection. But truth be told, after my bank account and I had a really long heart felt conversation with each other, I was only left with four items: the silk scarf which I've worn here, the metal scarf, and the top and jeans worn in this look.

When I saw the look book, this top and these jeans were all that I wanted. Obviously, I loved the prints. However, when I threw this snow white coat from Zara on top of those prints, a cool so icy was achieved that even I wasn't ready.

Please excuse the breeze...

Memo 102: Feeling a Little Blue

_____________________________________________________________________________________

For the last look, I am featuring a little monochromatic mixed print with a boost of color. You all know how I feel about cobalt blue.

So, if you were to ask my friends about my arrival time to events, they may or may not say that I can sometimes, not all the time, be a little bit tardy. It's just that I try to do too much before I leave the house. 

For instance, I'll have one hour before I need to arrive somewhere which includes a 30-minute drive to the location. In my mind, I can completely do my hair, paint my nails, fold the laundry, wash the dishes, Facebook surf and get dressed in the remaining 30 minutes. Yes, I'm ambitious and totally wrong!

Memo 094: Quilted Softness

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I don't know if I'm the only one but every time I get dressed, I want to create a new look. Now, I'm not here for the wear it once lifestyle but I do want to take familiar pieces and create something new.

Under time constraints, this can sometimes cause delays in the schedule. When I'm getting dressed my room looks exactly like someone invited twelve rambunctious children to have their way with my closet.

Anywho, this look came together in one of those time constrained situations. I love the way the textures complimented each other. The leather against the quilted pattern in the top...such a good idea.

Memo 076: Constant Change

Subject: Buh Bye Hair Confusion
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Remember when I diagnosed myself with hair confusion here? Well, folks, I have made a decision. 

Short hair! 

I've been short before and I've definitely worn my hair like this. I'm not quite sure why exactly I grew it out. I believe it had something to do with the top knot. But I'm serious.

If you can't tell, right up there with prints and patterns is a strong love and adoration for gray and black. It's an understated cool that is so me sometimes.

Memo 074: The END!

Subject: That's It! It's the END...

Yup, it's the END! Of what, I'm not exactly sure of right at this moment. But get back to me in a few. I guess when you wear t-shirts with words on them, they must stand for something.

Well, my shirt doesn't mean a thing to me! I just liked that it was black and had large white letters on it. It literally could have said anything but we'll just go with "END". *Kanye shrug*

Sometimes, stuff is just cute and that's all the reason you need. I have nothing more to say about it.
