Body jewelry as always intrigued me, however the Gemini in me makes me change my mind often about what I want permanently on my body. I love the look of piercings so thank goodness there are faux ways to try it on for size. Here are a few of my faves: Source: Fresh Trends Source: Urban Outfitters Source: Sliced (Etsy) Yours In Style, Angela
Last weekend I purposely got lost in the woods with my girlfriend for a quick getaway from the city…into a tree house :). The peacefulness of fall and nature was a much needed break from the never ending energy of New York. This magical place is located in Newtown, CT on 60 acres of land called Sticks and Stones Farm. There were free range chickens, gorgeous trees, falling leaves and kittens!…

Most of my downtime is found while waiting on the train. For some of us, it is the only time where we can disconnect from our phones and take some time to zone out from everyone around us. The keys escaping for a moment for me is reading a book! What are some of your favorite books to read while riding on a train?

Strapless anything can be given a new look with you layer it on top of a t-shirt. If you’re feeling extra fancy, a button up is the jam too. I think that layering is always the way to go when you want to make your “old” pieces look new again. Take some time this week to play around in your closet to see what you can layer up.

The fall chill is on and popping. I decided to take advantage of the mildly chilly weather (aka. It’s only cold in the morning then still warm during the day) while it lasted. I think we are now on the tail end of that actually. It’s getting colder in NY by the minute. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo… ANYWAY. This outfit came about from 2 different vintage shopping trips about a year apart. You know…
For the month of October, I’m reigning in the spending and shopping from my closet for free.99. For this look I took advantage of the cooler weather to mix and match some of my go to pieces into one outfit. Think outside of the box when putting together looks. I used my vest dress as a sleeveless coat to layer over my black body suit. The army green skater skirt is an easy to find style that…
I had the pleasure of witnessing a friend’s dream manifest into reality. It all went down on Friday September 11th at 12PM, at Refinery Hotel. You heard all about Jameelah when I posted about her Indigogo campaign. The models were a mix of gorgeous personal friends, models, family and ambassadors of BookerNYC. The makeup and styling team was on point and a pleasure to work with so early…
{The Aspiring Stylist} Nail Your First Impression Key stylists are generally always in a hurry when working on a project or prepping for a shoot.
I remember my first Afro Punk back when it was in this tenny tiny section by BAM in Brooklyn, circa 2008. My oh my has this festival grown. The beautiful shades of all colors is the most breathtaking part of this festival. The space Afro Punk has created is safe, warm and all-inclusive. The people watching was so good! It was a gentle reminder of how gorgeous we all are when we are comfortable…
How To Anticipate What Your Key Stylist Needs: Be calm, assured and shut the hell up: This is not the time to be their shadow or to talk about their wardrobe selections. Don’t give your opinion unless asked. PERIOD. This is so huge. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like the look personally. Guess what?!? It’s not your photo shoot. You are just there to assist the key stylist behind the scenes.…
When accessories are your outfit. Clothes aren’t always the focal point when deciding what to wear. I often find myself wanting to wear a certain earring, necklace or bag first, then working backwards to figure out what exactly goes with it. It’s a common way that stylists start the conception of the outfits they create. You can do the same! Outfit Deets Earrings: Eleanor Kalle Jumpsuit:…
Get in the habit of recording you daily tasks for each stylist. I worked with a stylist who required me to send her a summary of everything that I did for her after each day. I mean everything: drop offs, pick ups, laundry inventory, bathroom breaks (just kidding, seeing if you’re paying attention) etc. The more details the better. This was my first internship, so I thought it was the norm.…
