Goulish & Glam & Green

This weekend we went back home to celebrate my best friend Jessica's 27th birthday. Jess n her husband were hosting a goulish & glam bash! Jimmy and I went back and forth for almost a month on what we were going to dress up as. Two days before the party and still no costume..Just like every year Jimmy and I think of our costumes the day of. We called jess to sing happy birthday n discuss the costume dilemma. She told us that they were going as hippies and that we should be part of the hippie commune. I was psyched about this for 2 reasons, I am a hippie at heart and second, I didn't have to spend any money! I am always reluctant to pay for a costume, a few trinkets.. Ok, but never a full costume. It is a waste of money and waste in general. Most Halloween costumes are thrown out after one simple wear. They then sit in landfills and never decompose. Instead of contributing to the mass waste check out your local thrift shop, there are plenty of great finds for ANY costume. Here's what you do: wear it, bob for some apples, go trick or treating, throw it in the laundry and then donate it!

My Hippie look, straight out of my closet:
Braided headband - Urban Outfitters
Robe - Hand me down from Jimmy's Mom
Tunic - Vintage
High-Waisted Jeans - Linda Loudermilk
Platforms - MIA
Clutch - vintage
All jewelry - a collection of from years and years
Sunglasses - Beacons Closet

HAPPY & SAFE HALLOWEEN TO ALL!!!!

What did you dress up as? Was it a DIY?

Peace & Love,

Writing, Wigs, and Wisdom

The beautifully talented KT tells the tale of her ever-so eventful life. KT was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma the day after her 24th birthday. Through her blog she is able to express the fears, life lessons, and crazy antics that she has encountered since that one trip to the doctor.

I have known KT for over 6 years now, but it feels as if I have known her my whole life. KT is Jenna's BFF from elementary school. We all know how I put my baby sister on a pedestal, so you can only imagine how highly I think of KT. She is part of a unique breed. She can always turn negative into positive, her style is impeccable, her loyalty and honesty are admirable, her writing is influential and personable, but most of she is a fighter and an inspiration. I love you KT! Thank you for being you!
Check out KT's interview with Bust Magazine!
Since Halloween is only a few days away, it only felt right to add this picture. Jenna as a pregnant housewife, KT as a creepy raven, and Jimmy as McGruber. - Halloween 2010

Photo of the day

Taken at New Utrect Ave. Subway station on October 19th, 2011. It was a rainy cold day, first cold day of the fall season. The leaves are starting to change. The undertones of reds yellows bounced off the graffiti so beautifully it had to be captured on film.

Peace & Art,

Photo of the day.

Today was certainly odd weather wise. On my walk to the subway this morning it was warm, with a damp, yet cool breeze. As the day progressed the sun was shining and only those big white puffy clouds existed in the sky. That is until around 4p.m. hit, and trillions of dark gloomy grey clouds filled in the sky, then BOOM! Gusts of rain were falling from the sky, like angels were dumping olympic size pools down onto earth. The rain was so heavy it looked like it was snowing. It felt like I was on that ride in MGM studio's... The tornado one.. I can't remember the name but you catch my drift. Heavy rain, wind, leaves being ripped off their branches flying through the air, people scattering to find shelter. It only lasted a few minutes but what it left was something so magical. I truly looked as if the gates of heaven were opening up and all of our angels were standing by waving to say hello. And for this reason, is why this is my photo of the day.

Peace & Love,

Spotted!

Name: Cat
Occupation: cosmetology student
From: Philadelphia & NYC

I spotted the adorable Cat as she was lured into Kaight by the Vivienne Westwood + Melissa anglomania heels displayed in the window. She told me she has a crazy shoe collection and by the looks of the stunning wedges she had on I can only imagine the gems she has in her collection. I loved everything about her look, edgy, yet still sweet and clean. Her look was styled to perfection. See for yourself....

Designer Spotlight: Jeffrey Campbell "clinic" wedges

These particular clinic's are a rare breed. They are exclusive to the home of the badass'; NYC's Trash and Vaudville. Kudos to Cat on the great find!
