GIRLS THAT DO : AURORA JAMES

Pin It Now!

Creative Director, CFDA Award recipient, global style maven, Aurora James

has catapulted into the spotlight with her accessories company

Brother Vellies. Beginning with a take on the traditional Namibian desert boot, James has

created and sustained jobs for local artisans in Kenya, Morocco, South Africa and Ethiopia

by creating a line extension of sandals & boots worthy of the golden nod of approval from Wintor.

Paired with a laid back "oh I just threw this on in 10 mins before heading out the door" vibe

it is clear to see why James' collection has garnered a cult-like following from other

style ingenues like Solange Knowles and sisters of William Okpo Darlene & Lizzy,

who have already completed a collaboration with Brother Vellies.

To see more from this collection, visit Brother Vellies.

Until next time friends,

SHINY PONIES

Pin It Now!

Why?

Because it's Wednesday and you have an inbox full of

BS that you would rather put off until another era.

Your bills are due and you would rather burn

that stack of envelopes in a car fire.

You ate that extra piece of

(insert guilt-food)

and now you

feel bad.

That is not just the reason for the video.

It is the reason for a video featuring

(Grande Dame) Jenna Lyons

(aka my cool aunt--i tease that it's one of the reasons i married my hub.

Just to be a Lyons)

talking about that which brings pleasure, sweats, and shivers

to all women no matter what her style is....

Shoes.

Go ahead and rest your hand under your chin.

Pause the video several times to swoon a little

longer at those floral "mullet" pumps.

Hell, just replay it 8 times like I did and

completely ignore life for 2.5 seconds

and instead indulge in this dose of

lovely.

COLOR STUDY

Good Morning Lovelies! 

So I thought I'd start the morning with a refreshing cup of color.

(hope you all aren't sick of me talking about my obsession with it)

Coach has recently jumped on the color cruise and infused 

amazing, rich, ROY G BIV palettes with pops of 

brights and metallics.

You should have seen me the other day running after 

a gal in my building just to ask her where she snagged her

 Kelly Green cross body.

And in all honesty, I was a bit shocked. 

But it was a pleasant shock.

The dancing tassels, the fold, the leathah.

And oh the pop!

So I pulled some of my favorite picks

(which was actually difficult) 

and added them to my wishlist.

Given that I was allotted a 

"you don't have any responsibilities" chunk of change

these would not be on my wishlist but perfectly slung

across my bodice and on my feet. 

Especially those gold Loafers....

Didn't you just die???

Bisous,

GOLD FLUSH

Pin It Now!

coinpurse / flats / heart clip / / necklace / luggage / sofa / pillow

I loooove gold.

Gold jewelry, nail polish, shoes....anything! 

I think it might have a lot to do with the fact that I am Caribbean and have always worn it.

My grandmother always bought bits & baubs from the islands and her trips to France, and I think there was a point where it was such a standard that I didn't appreciate it enough. 

So I dabbled in Silver a bit when I was younger (only because my friends were doing it), but it never fully reached that sense of luxe and

glow that gold gave.

 As I've gotten older, I've gone back to what I

know....and all the lovely jewels that were

saved for me to enjoy now.

So glad that it is becoming somewhat trendy.  I didn't have to empty my pockets much to indulge and join the arm party.

Happy Tuesday Loves!!

Speaking of loves, I thought I talk about my hun-hub.

Tomorrow is our 11 month anniversary. 

Yup, its almost a whole entire year.  

And boy what an experience it has been.

They say that your first year is always the hardest. 

We didn't live together before we tied the knot so there was and still is, a lot of learning and 

getting used to, but let me tell there is absolutely no other man I'd rather "get use to", 

playground pick on and cook for than him. 

The other week I was asked by the lovely 

Jaclyn of Stay In the Lines to drop some 

advice for those that are prepping for the big day. 

And one of my favorites was to remember to keep dating. 

It's the most fun, yet most difficult factor to remember

because you see each other every day so there isn't a moment to really "miss" your spouse unless they travel quite often.  

So keeping spunk is definitely essential. 

Its not always about trying to look like a VS angel or having a Superbowl sized piping hot platter of wings & a beer ready for him when he walks in. 

I think its more about seeing how many ways can you make the other laugh and fully enjoy the present.  Yes, its hard to not be bothered by how he arranges the plastic containers or understand why he sits the way he sits or CHEW'S the way he does.

 (come on ladies!!you know what i'm talkin about! I saw a few heads nod at that one!)

But, the happier moments totally outweigh the murky. And are beyond worth it. 

So, ladies let's play Sadie and get yourselves dolled up for a date night with your hun

consider balancing something he likes with something you love that doesn't involve 16 sports screens.

Hope you have a merry May Day!!!

oh, sweet Yves Saint Laurent....

you sure do know how to make me want to

jump of the bridge of responsibility and logic and just indulge in the

beautiful objects you create.

My heart pitter-patters for theses well heeled loveliness that you have ever so cleverly

dashed with gold.

KOBE LEVI

Kobe Levi 

stretches the imagination and creates art....for your feet

(honestly should be for the pedestal)

Taking the nuisances of walking on a sidewalks to pop stars to a 1900s animated icon

and transforming them into fantastic conversation starters.

Could you imagine clackin' around the city with a 

ponytail-ed vogue-ing shoe 

with a mic in tow????

Birthday wish list making time!!!!!!
and
these are on it the top!
I seldom wear flats
for that fact that i am a clutz when i am not on my tip-toes.
but these are ridiculously lovely for the days when my arches
are begging for a break.
