I had a video interview with Shanika of the blog Broke2Dope yesterday. I found Shanika's blog while looking up information about someone that was participating in a fashion event that I was having last summer and instantly loved her straight to the point and informative style of writing. When she decided that she wanted to interview me, I was beyond excited! I got to talk about working as a wardrobe stylist and show off a few pieces from The RAD! Shop! :)

Since I was going to be in Little Five Points, I wanted a stylish yet effortless outfit. I chose a plain white tee that I tied a knot in, a bright wrap skirt, and my favorite brown gladiator sandals. I accessorized with a gold chain necklace, gold cross earrings, and a stack of bracelets that I coordinated to match my watch.

An Old Favorite...

Back in 2011, I had just moved back to Atlanta from Auburn, Alabama. In Auburn there was one rinky dink mall and I didn't drive that year so if I wanted to shop, I was relegated to online shopping. Needless to say when I moved back to the city, I made up for lost time when it came to shopping. My favorite stores were Forever 21, American Apparel, Value Village, and of course, Urban Outfitters.

I got this fedora at Urban on sale for $5 and I constantly found different ways to work it into my outfits. Somewhere along the line, I gradually stopped wearing my fedora until I wasn't wearing it at all. When I left my apartment in Marietta to move back into my mom's house, it was relegated to the back of one of my closets. 

I had an interview on Thursday and I got to dress up how I would dress if I were to be hired and for some reason when I walked past my second closet, I just really wanted to wear my fedora. I paired a simple black v-neck with a black and white tropical print skirt, bright blue open-toe flats, a silver multi-chain necklace and my MK watch. My fedora which had not been worn in about a year, was the icing on top of this simple yet chic outfit. 

I think my love affair with my fedora has been rekindled. I'm thinking of ways to pair my fedora with other outfits as I type. :)

In the Mix

Today I handled business for The RAD Shop, school, and had drinks and lunch with a friend.

I had dying to wear these paisley print shorts and mix them with another print and today I got to do just that. I paired my outfit with strappy single sole sandals and my favorite almost cat-eye but not quite sunglasses and I was off!

The 2013 MET Gala:

The 2013 MET Gala was hosted this Monday with the theme, PUNK: Chaos to Couture. It was certainly more chaos than couture if you asked me. I think some people were a little unsure of how to handle the theme. 

Check out some looks below:

When I saw Anna Wintour in a floor length floral print Chanel gown, I became a little bit worried. If Anna didn't bring it with the punk look, would anybody?

Eh. I have mixed feelings about Anne Hathaway's look. Her frosty make-up provided a perfect contrast  to her black dress. Her look had a punk feel to it. However,those feathers at the end of her sleeves gave me more drag queen than punk rocker.

You all know I love Beyonce but I was not impressed with this overly coordinated Givenchy outfit. The print didn't go with the theme, the belt looks distracting from a side view and I was not feeling the matching boots and gloves.

Oh Lord. Kim Kardashian must have stolen her grandmother's curtains and had someone sew up this creation.Yes I know her and Yeezy were both wearing Givency Haute Couture, but this floral print dress (with matching shoes!!!) was not appropriate for the event theme nor was it appropriate for Kim's body right now. She needs to stick to solids and less form-fitting clothes. It was her fist time at the MET and she looked horrendous.

Kristin Stewart would have pulled off this look if she had picked a different jumpsuit. I don't like the fabric, it looks more vintage than rocker chick. Her make-up and hair saved what would have otherwise been just an okay outfit.

Linda Evangelista looks like she just left an audition for the role of the Fairy Godmother. Saying that I was underwhelmed by this outfit would be an understatement. Appalled is more like it.

This theme was obviously created with Madonna in mind. She looked great while still following the theme! After all these years, Madonna is still killing the game, the fashion game that is.

Miley. Cyrus. Slayed. When I tell you all that she served me my portion. She served me my portion! She wowed in a mesh Marc Jacobs gown and she even punkified her sexy new short cut! That red lip really made the dress and her eyes pop!

Nicki Minaj would look good, if the theme wasn't Punk. Her hair has a punk feel to it but her Tommy Hilfiger gown was just too plain for the theme.

Jennifer Lopez looked beautiful in an animal print Michael Kors gown that accentuated her lovely curves. Her pompadour gave her just the right amount of punk she needed to complete this look.

I save the best for last. I seem to be speaking celebrities up these days. I was just saying how i missed seeing Nicole Richie out and about since I had always loved her fashion sense. She completely shut it down in her Top Shop gown, silver pumps, and gray hair. I also love the perfect pop of color that her lipstick provided!
