Eye of the Tiger

I love moto, but I also love glam. So with this look I blended the two! For my wardrobe, I layered textures and patterns, and added smaller details- rhinestone necklace and leather cuff- to pull the look together. For my eyes, I used black liquid liner to get a sleek cat-eye, and complimented it by adding liquid gold liner to my bottom lid.

So, can you hear me roar?

Global Warming | Tropical Storm

Sometimes the blend of the globe warming and a tropical storm approaching gives way to 90 degree days in October. You bet your bottom dollar that I took advantage!

My niece became fascinated with my Red My Fortune Cookie manicure and helped herself into the photo. I think she made the shot.

[ Street Walker ]

Last Saturday, I met with Liz from Honest Fashion at Le Pain Quotidien in DuPont for coffee and pain du chocolat. It's fun to talk fashion inspiration with other folks who might find the latest Jeffrey Campbell chain wedge sneakers in Elle just as swoon-worthy.

Are you a local blogger? We'd love to hear from you! [ Be sure to dish on what you thought of Amanda Seyfried's August 2013 Elle spread! ]

Rendezvous + NYC

Today's the day! Dré and I are on our way to rendezvous in NYC! 

This is our first "getaway" trip together and although we've only shared with you a couple times about it (here + here), we are ecstatic! In fact, we could barely contain ourselves as we said goodbye over the phone when Dré was boarding her flight-- from Gate8 I'll have you know! And, isn't it just perfect that she's coming in her 8 shirt for her first visit to the city?

As for me, I'm driving up on a coach for the 4hr trip. My shoes + wardrobe are safely-- I hope!-- stored underneath. I plan to catch some zzz's, do some work, and maybe catch a few more zzz's. Hey, I've been working weeks on end. A girl needs her beauty sleep (;

We snapped a couple pics before running out the door. Keep checking back as we update you on our fashionable adventure in America's fashion capital!
