Ankle strap heels is a hot trend this summer.  This style of heel has been seen on celebrities from Solange, Rihanna, and Kerry Washington. Ashley Madekwe has been sporting one of my favorite pairs of the season. The Saint Laurent "Jane" ankle strap heel. Knowing I can't afford to spend my rent money on the YSL , I have my eye on a pair by Jeffrey Campbell and Zara.  Ankle strap shoes are all over and you can get a pair on any budget.  I will be definitely rocking a pair or two this summer.

Months Top Purchases: Last few weeks

1.

I haven't done this type of post in a while. Mostly because I've been uber busy and traveling. When I traveled to NYC and Atlanta I picked up a couple of great pieces. As well as the great finds I ordered online. Here are my favorites picks from the things I found.  While it might look like I spent a fortuneI didn't, I promise. The  beaded jacket in the first pic was the best steal. It weighs 4 pounds, is in prefect condition, and it cost $10!!!! Yes, $10!!!! Awesome right!!! Check out the rest of the photos! 

Pink and YSL

YSL Tank& Earrings: Gnome; Kimchi &Blue Paperbag Trouser: Urban Outfitters, Wedges: Jeffrey Campbell, Bag: Tracy Reese, Watch: Nixon, Necklace: Disney Couture.

Hey everyone, its been a while. I've just been crazy busy especially during Essence Fest and the Long 4th of July weekend. This has been the first day in a while since I have had the chance to sit down and not have to do anything really.  
Anyway, the Kimchi & Blue trouser was a must have after I saw a customer try them on in the Rust color. Unfortunately she brought the last pair in my size and that color :-(.  The funny thing about the pink trouser is that their surprisingly versatile plus their very comfortable to wear. So trust that you will be seeing them again.


Well I'm off  to settle in and read Out of Africa.

Native Animal

Shirt: Urban Outfitters, Skirt: Thrift store, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell, Sunglasses: Ebay, Watch: Nixon, Jewelry: Random

Man its hot in New Orleans, hot and sticky so for all of you NYC complaining about heat, I'll trade spots with you any day you like.

Anyway,  I've been having this crop top in my closet since last month and was suppose to wear it to Jazz-fest but that don't work out. I love the fringe and how oversize it is. Plus this the only way that I could and would wore a crop shirt at this moment. The skirt I had for ages and what I put them together, it was the perfect mix of  Native, Animal and Urban. The shoes haven't been worn since my fall in them in Atlanta lol. And since I pledged to wear more of my shoes  here they are.

Tour de Room

My Room

Hey everyone, still don't have internet and its a little irritating. Dealing with ATT has made me very very fu*king upset. Excuse my french. I spent over 400 minutes on the phone and took off of work waiting for my internet to be turned on yesterday and I still don't have it.  Okay let me stop talking about this before I get even more upset than I'm already am. Anyway.......

Every time my friends visit my house and room for the first time they always talked and tell others about how awesome they think my room is, which leads other people wanting to see my room. So since I can't do a walking to tour of my room for everyone I decide to post some pics of my room here. I took these pics about a month ago, and since then my room had changed around a little. Well, I'm about to relax because I'm beat.

Peace & Love....... LivvyV

Dilemma

Jeffrey Campbell "Groovie"


I'm in a huge dilemma.  A SHOE DILEMMA. For months now I've been wanting and thinking about these shoes. They sold out 3 times and now their back in. But the price is a little steep for me,  lets face it I'm not baller (lol). I just love the color region on these shoes. I have nothing close to being this colorful or for that matter colorful at all in my shoe wardrobe . Yet, I don't think I would wear them a whole bunch this summer, but I will next summer when I move. So I'm not sure if there worth the price if I'm not going to wear them alot this summer.  

So I've been asking ever person I can and who cares mostly my friends, co-workers, and of course mom. And the answers have resulted in half and half of no and yes. I have two days to figure it out because thats when I get the paycheck.   So wish me luck with my decision and if you have a opinion about my dilemma please don't be afraid to leave a comment.

Peace & Love.....Livvy

Hey, I hope everyone had a good weekend. I had a pretty chilled weekend, and due to the fact that it was beautiful outside. Spent sometime in the French Quarter checking out people enjoying French Quarter Fest.  And I finally got my butt to the thrift but was a little disappointed. I only found three things and one of them was a hourglass that broke by falling out of the bag :-( . So sad.  I pick up some really cool things from Anthro this week also.  I let you see in another post. Well off to bed. Have a big art project do and photoshop is getting the best of me lol.

Bronze Day Rider

Skirt (Rozae Nichols)and Bag courtesy of Thrift store,Stripe Shirt and Necklace (Forever21), 2nd Necklace( simply Fashion, Scarf (UrbanOutfitters), Shoes (Jeffrey Campbell), Leather jacket (Buffalo Exchange) Moschino Record Watch (Nordstrand Rack), Ring and Sunglasses (Ebay)

Lately I have been obsessing over long maxi skirts. So when I found this bronze Rozae Nichols long skirt for a $1 at the thrift store I was excited and a little scared. Why? Because what do you wear with a long bronze skirt? So I took it upon myself to experiment and find out. I took one of my most worn piece, you know, the stripe shirt and throw on my leather jacket and boom, awesome outfit. Then I added the shoes that I drool over half of last year and haven't worn since summer. The maxi skirt is one of the pieces on my summer must have list. I will be posting that soon. What piece of clothing do you have to own this summer?

Lost Photos

These are some of the pictures I took with friends this year that I forgot to download to my Flickr account. They feature some of my very good friends Theresa (NYC), Kris (NYC), and my partner in crime Lesly (New Orleans). These reminds of good times that I have during this crazy time in my life. Hope everyone is having a good holiday season. Yet, I'm looking forward to the New Year. This is going to be the year that I actually put all my plans and dreams into action.

Peace & Love LivvyV
