birds flying high, you know how I feel

I’m really loving Irie Campese’s new releases from So Many Styles. As you already know, I love ethnic pieces and Irie does a spectacular job bringing african flair to high end fashion. Long skirts, knits and chunky beads make frequent appearances, much to my delight. Her new releases are very sexy and lady like, all at once. I was inspired to throw together a look, using pieces from the new collection.

Another inspiration for me are the colors red, white and blue. Call me patriotic if you like, but I can’t help it, the color scheme has style. I threw in a handful of my favorite pieces of NAO, adding up to one lady day outfit and a more tomboyish one. Check it out.

The sun is shining

 

I’m going to start a new thing, called ‘lite look’ here. Basically this is more off the cuff dressing from time to time. I was suppose to have been doing this for a while, under the “everyday me” category, but I like concept dressing. This is a way to work the other side of my style as well as showcase some things I haven’t worn on here. (It’s amazing how much hasn’t made it on O.O Life of a blogger…) Nothing is new in here, but I want to mention the Faire skin and LaGyo Beauty earrings. Why Faire’s skin hasn’t gotten more attention is beyond me. Maybe it’s a hard skin to fit a shape too, but to me it’s so unique and different. It makes me excited to have it in my invo. Do you see that mouth? Oh my, it’s so cute and lovely! And the earrings! I love the sea foam green rocks (fav colorrrr!) and how they are big hunka hunkas of lovin’. Statement pieces rule, dood. <3Love, Abra

ps. Excuse the crap matching on the toes, the skin ball wasn’t working. (whutta name…) Anyway this is a ‘lite’ look which means I can be a little lazy <3
