It’s Probably Best That I Keep This: Zara Spiked Blazer

November 7, 2012 · By · Leave a Comment

I could kill you with my shoulder.

Like any small, ambiguously ethnic girl with dark hair, people are quick to think my favorite compliment is “You look very Kim K today!” And you know what? They’d be right. Seriously, there is no way in hell I am not extremely pleased when I hear that.

Oh hey Kim.

So it’s only right that I love to rock a good blazer.  So when I found this GEM at Zara, clearly, we fell in love.

BLAZER WITH SPIKES ON THE SHOULDER

This awesome blazer is black, goes to about mid-calf, and is adorned with a bunch of silver spiked on the shoulders.  I LOOK LIKE RIHANNA WHEN I WEAR THIS.

One of my favorite things about blazers are that they are so versatile, and by “versatile” I mean: you can wear a dress made up of soda bottle caps and dental floss but once you put on a blazer, OHMYGOD YOU LOOK SO CLASSY GIRL.  SERIOUSLY.  It really takes a skanky outfit from “cheap” to “not so cheap” in like, 5 seconds.  The other day I saw a girl walking around at the club with a blazer and everyone was like “ohhhh snap, is the Secretary of State here tonight?”  ‘cuz she looked really professional and stuff.  I think she was completely naked underneath the blazer.  Whatever though.

The blazer says “I’m a busy woman who has a real job and no time for nonsense”, but the spikes say “Do you see me?  I’m spiky. Yeah. That’s right. I don’t care about rules because I make my own rules. I speed up when I see yellow lights while driving and I repeatedly push the ‘close doors’ button on elevators when I see people running to make it.”

I think my obsession with this blazer comes from my obsession with spikes.  It’s getting serious, guys.  Here’s other spiky shit I currently own:

Aldo Tallberg Spiked Motorcycle Boots

Like, I own spiked motorcycle boots. I wear these. In real life. No big deal. Am I the kind of girl who possibly rides a motorcycle after work to “unwind”? Maybe. Do I  spend my weekends in NYC, partying with Ke$ha and adding dollar signs where S’s would normally be found? Po$$ibly. Do I go around at 9am with smeared eyeliner and awesome crazy bedhead because I don’t care what society thinks of me? I might.

Sadly, no. I don’t do any of those things. But I do own some dope Tallberg boots with spikes. And these shorts!

These spiked BDG High Rise Cheeky Shorts have bronze spikes going down the sides and I love these so hard. You can wear it with a blank tank top and then dress it down with Chucks or dress them up with black heels and look equally awesome. When it gets colder, you can wear them with a long sleeved white tee and black tights underneath the shorts- and now you look badass and French which is a look I’ve been trying to perfect for years.

Wet Seal Spiked Hoop Earrings

Now I’m not a fan of buying things from Wet Seal mainly cuz, you know, I don’t like my shit breaking in 30 seconds but one day I was stalking some girl at the mall to find out where she got this amazing sheer top and she surprisingly said, Wet Seal. So I booked it over there and as I was buying the top, the nice, freakishly thin and pale girl at the cash wrap said that the promo they had today was buy one, GET SOMETHING ELSE FOR A PENNY.

I’ll wait and let that marinate a little bit…

 

Yeah, a penny. That’s the kind of store Wet Seal is. So, I decided to browse around when I spotted these really adorable spiked hoop earrings. Yeah. I bought them. And I don’t regret a single penny I spent on it either.

It’s Probably Best That I Keep This: PINK Animal Print Earmuffs

November 5, 2012 · By · Leave a Comment

No animals were hurt in the making of this post.

I like sequins, glitter, and pink anything. Yeah, I know, I know- I’m a girl. Oh, now I’m gonna get shit because I like sequins? Really? No, no, that’s cool. THAT’S COOL.

Being as I’m clearly girly as hell, I really enjoy a fierce animal print. But you know, not too much. Nothing overwhelming. But as an accent on something? Yes, please. So when I saw these super cute, cheetah-print earmuffs, it was kind of like “whoa, what have I been doing not owning these?  How have my ears survived?  What’s going on here?”

Victoria’s Secret PINK Faux-Fur Earmuffs

Seriously, what a great purchase. I love fall and winter because all of the cute clothing, but when it comes to headgear, things get rough. Hats are always adorable but once you put on a hat, you’ve pretty much committed yourself to wearing that hat ALL day.

There’s no way you can take that hat off because your hair has already resembled some greasy, flat, bird’s nest of sorts. But with these awesome cheetah earmuffs from the Victoria’s Secret PINK line, you’ll find that you can keep your hairstyle in check. (They also come in black for your less adventurous friends).

Since they were such a great purchase, I felt like everyone I knew also deserved a pair – so I bought a few for some of my favorite ladies. (Peep the curls- still looking good)

Alexa, Kelsey, Liz – my wonderful DZ family!

It’s Probably Best That I Keep This: Nike Free TR Fit Sneakers

November 3, 2012 · By · Leave a Comment

I once ate a Milky Way while running.

I hate exercise. I really mean that. I hate working out and I hate people who talk about how “awful” or “off balance” they feel if they haven’t worked out by like, 7 am. The best part of a gym membership is being able to SAY things like “the best part of a gym membership…”.

That being said…I LOVE ME SOME GYM CLOTHES. And even more so, I love colorful gym sneakers. I recently just copped these bad boys:

 

Nike Free TR Fit Women’s Training Shoes

These snazzy ass shoes are Nike Free TR Fit Women’s Training shoes and they are FABULOUS. The all over black makes me look like I take my workouts super seriously, while the fun coral says “heeeeey girl, heeeeeey!” which is what I want most of my clothes to say.

People STOP in their tracks when I roll up into my local Sport & Health. I know what they are thinking. Yes, these ARE some fly ass kicks, ma’am, and I will throw away this candy bar when I am good and ready.

I just feel like people take me more seriously as an athlete, and a fellow gym go-er, when I have on cool shoes. It looks like I really came to “get a good work out in” instead of “sit on a weight machine and look at pictures on Instagram.”

Yeah, I do that. Why?  Because I go to the gym alone and don’t have someone telling me to stop. Yes! Alone! ALWAYS.  Why? Because I hate when people when people ask to be my work out buddy. That sounds like the worst type of buddy to have, right after “we can help each other stick to our diets” buddy but right before a “I’ll take notes for you today so you can skip class, and you can take notes for me tomorrow when I skip class” buddy. Don’t depend on me for that kind of shit.

It’s Probably Best That I Keep These: Prada Baroque Round Sunglasses

November 1, 2012 · By · Leave a Comment

“Sunglasses and Advil…last night was mad real”

Nothing is as glamorous to me as sunglasses.  Stupid big sunglasses with crazy colors and frames screaming “Pay attention to me!  No, wait, don’t!  I’m going incognito!  Just kidding, pay attention to me!”  There’s a reason why celebrities who don’t want to be seen but totally want to be seen are always spotted in awesome sunglasses.

Prada ‘Baroque’ Round Sunglasses

These Prada Baroque Round Sunglasses are just really beautiful. They’re really flattering for any face shape, which is a win because I have a round face and I never believe people when they say things like “really flattering for any face shape”. But they are!

Pradalicious.

I puff up my face sometimes during pictures.  I don’t know why.  That’s that shit I don’t like.

Oh, and if you want to sound super pompous: baroque is referring to the style of art and architecture that was really poppin’ in Europe from the early 17th to the mid- 18th century. Everything was all about emphasizing the dramatic, and they were all about bold statements, elaborate details, and a lot of curves. It was probably around the same time that super chubby, naked white ladies were really popular, too.
