{David Howell: Gramercy Loft}

Source: DHD

Lately I've been looking up interior designers/architects and bookmarking those I find inspiring. I came across David Howell out of New York and his work is pretty dope. I'm seriously considering investing in a loft. An open floor plan makes you feel in touch inside your home, I like that.

Scrolling trough DHD's site, I was particularly drawn to this design because of the terrace. Perfect for adult and kid playtime haha. Just the right amount of trees for privacy and the mix of wood and concrete projects a modern yet warm feel.

I must say, the interior of this space is masterfully done. From the lighting fixtures to the muted grey color palette, even the modern choice in furniture really works for me. Typically I'm into spaces with a modern/vintage vibe. I'd probably add a few character items just for kicks, but overall it's an amazing space.

These next couple of weeks I'll be posting more designers I'm into. One day you'll actually see all this inspiration go to good use in my new home xoxo.

{Almost Spring}

Two Piece: Custom Made / Top: H&M / Shoes: Zara / Jacket: Zara

I've been battling the flu for the past couple days and it's timing couldn't be worse. Ain't nobody got time to be sick lol. To add insult to injury my face is experiencing severe dryness. I mean like peeling everywhere...I've tried everything imaginable to remedy my Freddy Kruger face to no avail!!! So I had to take a hiatus from being photographed, ya'll would've thought it was Halloween looking at my face situation. 

Btw, if your skin is spastic like mine, i.e. gets extremely dry. Try making a  lemon sugar scrub, it really helped, burned like hell but definitely helped. I also tried an olive oil and egg yolk mask which helped my skin peel easily. Those two homemade miracles are why I'm able to bring this post to you my friends haha. Oh and a shit ton of makeup too cause I'm still kinda peely. 

It's not quite warm enough to wear a two piece, so I decided to find an appropriate way around that. To combat the brisk little breeze hanging around, I added this sheer shirt and my handy dandy Zara coat. I like the way the top is sheer enough to show the two piece in all it's glory, it kinda catches you off guard right? It's like,  "Is that a bra...oh wait I get it." Or maybe you didn't but I'm just gonna assume you did. 

I broke in these Zara shoes, they're so damn cute but so uncomfortable!! Which is typically the case with Zara's shoes, yet I continue to buy them...conundrum. Honestly, that's my justification for buying designer shoes, they're just made better and are more comfortable in my opinion. Or it could be that my feet need extra TLC due to me being a former athlete. These dogs have been through a lot.

Welp, I'm glad I'm almost not ugly anymore and can get back into the swing of things xoxo.

{She's Bossy}

Source: The Coveteur

I really appreciate everything about this woman right here. She's been my inspiration on so many levels. I'm so excited for her new album FOOD to drop this April!!! What's so dope about Kelis is she does her own thing. Any artist who remains real and true to their artistry is to be commended. Especially because so many people conform instead of being their authentic self.

We all know I'm a firm believer in being your true crazy self, cause we've all got a little crazy in us...and that's ok. I was pleasantly surprised to see her on The Coveteur and naturally I loved everything about the feature. Thought I'd share it with you, just in case you love this chick as much as I do. Enjoy xoxo

{Insta Stuff}

I've been extremely busy so I've been a bad blogger lately. Sometimes I wonder who the hell is following bloggers around for them to post outfits everyday. Shit, it's hard as hell for me and Trish to get together to blog lol. Anyway, hopefully I can get back on track the tail end of this week. In the meantime, in between time here are a few snaps from my Instagram. 

1.) Took this shot on my way to Zara downtown. You cant really see, but it was this cool carriage in the window behind me. 

2.) So I think Ellen stole the super selfie from us haha. We took ours first! Got to hang with some of my favorite local bloggers. Trisha, Carlis, & Shelby.

3.) Had the most amazing brunch at Shaw's Tavern a few weeks ago. The chicken & waffles, red velvet pancakes, and mac & cheese skillet were delicious!

4) A better look at the cardi I wore as a dress to the Glamazon Diaries Oscars event at ENO. I really had a great time reviewing the products celebs used to prepare for the Oscars.

Welp that's it, I'll holler at you guys when I have new posterior xoxo
