Blackness

(Theory leather jacket/F21 Maxidress/ Unique Wedges with Metal Accent/ Spike Ear Cuff)

The weather has been in yo yo so it was one of those nights where I just felt in touch with the colder nights and wanted to throw on all black..after all..you can NEVER go wrong with all black.

 I spent the morning kicking up my endorphins at the beach and catching some vitamin D. Those kind of "Me" days get me into that kick ass mood where I feel turnt up and brave enough to throw on a skin tight dress:) Topped off with a beanie for my choice of accessory. 

Happy Bornday Talib Kweli

Was fortunate enough to get an invite to Talib Kweli's birthday celebration at Playhouse.  Met at his house and we all carpooled to the venue where Too Short was also in the building.  He kept calling me "Pimp" and poppin' his collar because I was rocking the hell out of my fur coat:)which may I add that I am so excited the winds are kicking in to bring out all my fur pieces!! Pimped out in all vintage (Fur Coat and Lace minidress)

Check out Talib's latest mixtape with Z-Trip. Free Download!!  

One of my favorite tracks is Outstanding ft. Ryan Leslie mixed by my dear friend CSik.

Like A BAWSE!!!

One of my new favorite tops(Rehab) because of the Cutout details

Absolutely in love with everything spike right now. I could go to my death bed in these spike wedges..Wiiii!! :)

CSik Drug Lab

One of my favorite places to pop in to or get some work done is at the studio.  The Drug Lab is a current studio I randomly pay visits to.  My friend, CSik is an amazing mixing engineer/producer who works with Hip Hop artists such as KRS One, Talib Kweli, Psycho Realm, Ras Kass and the like.  Definitely a place where incredible talent passes through and magic happens!

Summer Days Winding Down

(UO Tank/ F21 Bikini Top/ Favorite Green Beanie/ Boots from Travels to Barcelona)

It is no surprise that I am a seafood junkie. One of my favorite spots is Captain Kidd's in Redondo Beach. I grew up in Hawthorne, CA and this was one of the places I felt rewarded going to as a kid. Fun Factory still remains filled with arcade games, but I mainly go for the fresh live crab. Such a lovely treat to my bellaaay:)

Gucci LImited Edition Hand Beaded Clutch/Hand Bracelet topped with Rare Gold Ring from Travels to Barcelona

I've been on a hunt for a great cut out dress for my birthday and this number was def my cup of tea. I pinned up the front of this fishtail piece to appear not so short...Fyi..where your clothes hit on the body..depending on height..REALLY makes a difference so be careful to not have pieces fall where it exposes problem areas.

Took a night out in LA with our lovely driver George. Awesome guy!! While waiting for friends to arrive, I saw this amazing shop and of course made our driver stop and had an impromptu photo sesh with my gal pal..Girls Just Want To Have Fun!!!

I have some days where I just feel like dressing down and representing my LA roots. My brave soul threw on my Filler & Rount tank and wore it as a dress. Just love their super comfortable fabrics. Headed out to the Drug Lab where Ras Kass,Sick Jacken, Cynic, and Csik were in the studio. Always great times at the Drug Lab.

Del Mar Choo Chooo

(Floral Fishtail Dress/F21 Floppy hat)

Life has been a bit hectic with work,meetings,new ventures, AAANNNDD my birthday month.. WIIIII!!!!! hehe I don't ever really care to celebrate but with having so many great friends..that doesn't ever smooth over so easily. I'm def more of a city gal who wished I lived in an area that had nothing but public transportation(The constant contact with different people makes me happy & the idea of never getting a D.U.I makes me even more happier. In addition to my belief of it creating a better lifestyle because you would physically be more active to get from A to B) So you better believe I was super excited to take the train to the Del Mar Race Tracks. My first time taking the local train and going to Seabiscuit:)
