Grenades & Roses.

by Jamila Pierre


If you asked who would want to add guns, grenades, spikes, studs, etc... to their outfit, I'd not only raise my hand...but I'd stand up and give you my best monologue describing how me and those things are simply kismet.  

And adding a touch of sass, class, and femininity to it....?YES!!!

The juxtaposition of a bed of roses with a grenade placed ever so gently in between them... call me crazy... but YES!!!

I don't usually wear light colored pants but I have been on a mission to incorporate them more often, and with these acid wash ones allow me to wear light colored jeans that have a slight edge. Acid wash is pretty edgy and makes me look pretty edgy...don't I look edgy? BWAHAHAHAHAH!!! Just kidding, I don't take myself that seriously. But honestly, an acid wash pair of jeans in any color add a touch of edgy interest that I guarantee will tickle the fancy of any alternative life-styled type of girl... *Clears throat*, ME.

I decided to keep my accessories simple yet still having that sparkle I just love so much.

This bracelet is serious, I first saw it's mother (the necklace) on the Forever21 website last year and put off buying it for so long that it was no longer in stock, neither was the bracelet.  Then I recently went into the Forever21 in the Queens Center Mall and found both the necklace and bracelet just hanging there in all it's glory. Obviously I bought it and am still considering getting two more, just in case it they run out and i never see it again.

What I'm Wearing:

  1. Blazer from Torrid. $20 ( On sale from almost $50)
  2. T-shirt from Tillys.com. $17
  3. Jeans from Walmart.com. $20 (On sale now for $14)
  4. Heels from forever21.com. $24.80
  5. Bracelet from Forever21. $4.80

Birds & Houndstooth.

Can I just say that ever since I purchased this black and white bird-print button-down, I find myself wanting to wear it way more than any normal person would. I absolutely love when you shop someone's closet and you find pieces that you can incorporate into your wardrobe so seamlessly. Thanks to Kellie Brown, of And I Get Dressed, I was able to purchase this top for a mere $15. The top was originally from Simplybe.com, so I'm expecting the original ticket price to be one million dollars, getting it for $15 bucks made me feel like I hit the jackpot.

I Purchased this dress from the Rainbow in Midtown (Manny Hatty) the same day I bought the bomber that I've mentioned a few posts ago. When I got home, opened my closet, and briefly  brainstormed what I wanted to pair this dress with...it all just came together like a magnet. 

I paired it with my huge sunnies, a white iridescent chain necklace, and my handy dandy pink heels...because come on...
