Last weekend I was crazy busy. Between working both jobs and French homework I barely had time to sit down and relax.  Friday before I went to work, mom took me and my lil cousin Jake to my favorite place in New Orleans.  The Red, White, and Blue thrift store. Sadly I didn't find a lot but I did find a black leather blazer that I've been wanting for a while now.  And didn't have to spend tons of money for it, will be a winter staple.

This Thursday will kick off the annual Essence Festival in New Orleans which happens every July 4th weekend. This weekend is bound to be a crazy especially since I'll be working and my cousin will be in town.

Will I'm off to do some work.

Peace & Love..........LivvyV

The Spring semester is finally over and I didn't know until this weekend how much it took a toll on me. I'm feeling so tired lately and maybe its because I have been eating so shitty and going to sleep super late. That has to change and it will. Anyway, I'm ready for this summer to begin and the weather in New Orleans is agreeing with me. Blue sky, sunny days are what I've been seeing the last few days. Even tho I will be attending summer classes, I know this summer is going to be a great one. I'm going to try to take pictures everyday or at least every other day. Lets see what this summer brings, but what I know for sure is its going to be fun.

Jazz-Fest Pt.3

Shirt, Coach Bag, Shoes: Thrift Store, Shorts: BDG Urbanoutfitters, Sunglasses: Ray-Ban, Bracelet: Anthropologie, Watch: Moschino 

This past Saturday I had chance to see Mrs. Lauryn Hill in concert.  Of course I had to work ( sucks I know).  So I got up at 7:00 am to be at work for 8:00 am to get off at 4:00 pm. I barley making it on time for the 5:30 pm performance because I (my silly self) left my wallet at work. Yet, I made it there and enjoyed an awesome performance. I wish she would have done some songs from her unplugged album but she played a few from her Fugees days and a little Bob Marley too. All and all a very eventful day and weekend courtesy of New Orleans Heritage Jazz Festival.

Hey, I hope everyone had a good weekend. Last weekend was crazy busy for me. Not only did I go to the New Orleans Jazz-Fest but I had to work and study for finals too. On Friday I went to see Lupe Fiasco and he put on an amazing show. He had so much good energy and stage presence, plus the band just add more dimensions to the music. I didn't really get to walk around and take pictures because I didn't want to lose my good spot in the front.  Well, I'm off to study for my last final, wish me luck.

(Sorry for the lack of good quality pictures. My camera was stolen about two months ago and I have been using my Iphone to take the pics. Saving up for a kick-ass Nikon.)

Working Girl

Bag and Shoes: Thrift Store, Jeans: French Connection, Hat: Buffalo Exchange,  Shirt: Anthropologie, LipsStick: Covergirl Rouge

This weekend I was a working girl lol. Being in retail you have to always strike a balance of wearing with is cute, fashionable, work appropriate , but still comfortable.  Plus, I had to walk to work this weekend due to a marathon that took over the downtown streets of New Orleans.  So I throw on my trusty jeans, and loafers and this awesome shirt I brought at Anthro the previous week. It  baggy, airy, and a little heavy all at the same time, weird, I know. The Dooney bag I brought for $7 has been my go to bag since I brought it a week ago.

So folks, I got some really good news. Which is, this week I start my new job working at Urban Outfitters in New Orleans. This is going to be awesome because  get to meet a lot of  cool people and maybe take pics of their kick-ass outfits. Plus being the first to see some of Urbans new clothing doesn't hurt either.

Well off to class.

Peace & Love......... LivvyV

Sunny Delight

Shirt, Bag, and Shoes: Thrift Store, Jeans: Macy's, Necklace: Buffalo Exchange, Bracelet: Anthro, Sunglasses: Urbanoutfitters, Lipstick: Covergirl BrickFire

Hey everyone, hope everyones weekend was good. Again this weekend in New Orleans was beautiful. But I couldn't enjoy it or ever get a cup of Thai tea ( yes I'm obsess) because I had to work. Which I don't mind but who want to be inside when you could be out enjoying the sun.  Anyway, I semi-stole the tropical orange shirt from my mom. Semi because I have to give it back. I just loved the color so much it had me wishing I could be on a tropical island somewhere.  As for the bright orange lipstick, I had it since last year and never bother to open it. With a little push from my friend Lesly, who urge me to try color I finally give it a try. And to tell you the truth I  liked it.

Well, I'm off to start writing my paper for my Latin America history class. I will be posting my kick-ass purchases from last week soon. It involves shoes.

Peace & Love.......LivvyV

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.

A Week in Purchasing.

MAGASCHONI STRETCH SATIN TULIP SKIRT 

Marathon Strand Bracelet

Chakra Roll-On Perfume

ISABEL TOLEDO for PAYLESS


Hey everyone, I know I been away for a little while. Its only due to the lack of having the ability to taken my own pics, but who said I have to be mum. This week I did a little bit of shopping minus the thrift ( sad :-( I know ), but maybe next weekend. I got some really great piece at discounted prices. I just got in my Magaschoni skirt from Gilt.com, its all silk and its beautiful. Two wrap bracelets I got from Anthro with my discount. These bracelets are great pieces to layer with other bracelets or around my watch to give it a little ump.  The Charka Roll perfume I got from urban and they are great.  You could wear them alone or combine them with a different perfume to give your scent more depth.  My favorite one is HEART, plus their small that they can always travel in your bag. Last but not least, are the shoes by Isabel Toledo for Payless. Usually I'm not a fan of the Payless collaborations but when I saw these I was in love. With a yes from my mom and my friend Lesly I shove out the $45 and went on my merry way. You will definitely have many pics of me with these shoes on come summer.


Peace & Love.......LivvyV

V-day a source of happiness for some and dread for others. Me, I'm the latter.  Here are a few outfits for the day. I try to pull together outfits for a romantic night out with your lover, a fun night out with friends, or a outfit that you can wear if you going on a first date to.  They all consist of a little bit of sugar, a little spice, and everything nice. Some are hot and some are as sweet as pie. You decide what you like to be on the day of Love.  And what will I be doing on V-day? Spending it with my family, who will celebrate the life of my grandmother who passed 6 years ago on V-day. Hope you have a great weekend. And look forward to a post of all the cool things I have brought this pass weekend.

Peace & Love.....LivvyV
