Went to the Transit Lounge with my coworker last night & remembered to photograph my face :)
Eyes.
Urban Decay palette for the Smoky look. I used the black, silver, gold & peach colors for the eye.
Eyeliner is half Urban Decay & half Revlon ColorStay (both black)
Eyebrows darkened in with CoverGirl Brow Pencil (Blackest Black)
Lips.
MAC Lipglass in Feline.
Face.
MAC Studio Fix Powder in NW45. All day. I usually wear light coverage but tonight I applied with a sponge and a brush.
Alas, I am a slave to my own vanity. Once described as Classic with a Twist, my obsession with 1960's silouettes & poise consummated with my edgy rock & roll approach to everyday life result in this scorching hot beautiful mess. I'll try anything once, twice if I like it. Welcome to my avid love affair with what I most admire, the items in my closet & the treasures on my vanity.

Rant: Heels.
Lately, I've really gotten into high heels. Like towering ones- 2" plus. Its been fun to put outfits on that I wore with flats, sandals or boots & see the difference. I went to the 3.99$ shoe store because since Miami is North Cuba, they've brought many things to this city. Forcing everyone to learn Spanish, tipping the scale to the Republican side & talking over all the radio stations are some pretty good ones. BUT, they brought some good things too, and the 3.99$ shoe store is one of them.
I went there with a coworker bc we were on break & 2 pairs screamed at me & I figure, what the hell, I might as well. So keep an eye out for them, they're coming soon to this Blog.

OOTD: When leather meets pumps
Is there a reason that I look like a biker bitch in this picture? Like don't get me wrong, I absolutely love looking like a badass and this outfit screams it.
And the weekend before, I was in Orlando freezing my ass off. 45-55 degree weather can be brutal for a Miami girl especially if your sister is being a bitch and takes the only warm jacket that you brought because it happens to belong to her. It worked out because I ran into Ross at 8:45 & walked out with this bomber jacket at 9:10. It has turned out to be the perfect missing part of my wardrobe. I've put it with so many past outfits that now look completely different. Then you throw in those badass heels & its the perfect recipe.
Jacket.
Ross.
V-neck.
Forever XXI

OOTD: Its 50 degrees in Orlando so its ok to look cool.
My cousin's birthday was spent in a trampoline room. If you've never been to one, very cool, you should definetly put that on your list of things to do before you die.
I had to wear something comfortable but knew that we were gonna take pictures so I wanted to look cute. I pack by throwing a crapload of stuff into my car & driving the 3 hrs to Orlando so I had quite a few things to pick from and came out with the quintessential Hot Topic outfit. As you know, I kill it when they do their 50% off clearance simply because I'm a G and I can.
Scarf.
Hot Topic. This scarf is 2-sided and I usually wear it on the side with the smaller checks but my cousin insisted that I debut the large checks. This was totally 1.50$. Score.
Top.
Hot Topic. Its got a lace up back. I'll add a photo of the detail later.

OOTD: Making this difficult shirt work
I posted when I bought this shirt. After that it has seriously been a challenge since I bought it. I've picked it up several times to wear it and gave up in frustration. It was a while since I've worn this top. I recently scored some jeans from PacSun on a 2 for 1 special as I found some pairs of jeans that I do not own already. The indigo color really offset the while so I figured, let me just tuck it in and not change my mind today. It worked. The cut of my jeans fit really well when I tucked the tunic in. I took a picture from the back so that you can see the cut with the zipper (my favorite part of this top).
Top.
Target. I don't wear white. This top picked me.
Jeans.
PacSun. you'll be seeing a lot of these.
Belt.
Michael Kors. I hardly take it off.
Shoes.
Aerosoles. Totally match my belt.

OOTD: Dressing up a T-shirt
Let me start by saying that I've had this shirt for years. Its actually a little too big now that I lost weight but I still love the way the gold letters shine against the black background. I wanted to wear something casual enough because I drive the company vehicle for my job & when doing fieldwork, I don't exactly need the fanciest clothing.
I decided to pair the tee with a cardigan, this way I could strip the cardigan in the field, if need be. Then I figured that I could wear heels so that the "dressy" look is reinforced.
Cardigan.
Mossimo for Target. Thin enough to wear in hot Miami weather.
Tshirt.
5.7.9- does that place still exist? I can't find any of them in Miami anymore.
Belt.
Michael Kors. (by way of Saks) worn on the silver snakeskin side.
Jeans.
PacSun- totally on a 2 for 1 special. They look dirty which I love to pair with black clothing.
Shoes.
Steve Madden (by way of Macy's) these are in the runnings for my favorite heels.
