NYLON Challenge: nyc blues x march on

I finally got the latest issue of Nylon magazine and it is stock full with some great fashion inspirations. I haven't done a challenge in awhile because I am slacking but truly I was also just really disappointed with the last few issues.

I did my take on two different "mass appeal" spreads. Both have similar color schemes and textures so I am posting both in one big post.

Think of it as a two for one special. Or something.

The Spread #1:

A Guttersnipe's personal take:

 

breakdown: (from left to right)

shoes ($9.99) - bag ($4.50) - tiger print skirt ($6.00) - jean shorts ($5.86) - leopard print ($4.50) - Jean Dress ($4.78) x Leopard Cuffed Sweater ($8.45) - Leopard Blouse ($7.68) x White Tank Top ($0.99) -

leopard shirt ($4.75) x Jean Vest ($7.65)


Nylon Challenge # 2:

My personal take:

 

Heels ($12.00) - Kitten Heels ($9.87) - Vest ($8.89) x Purple Blouse ($10.98) - Blazer ($5.67) - Jacket ($12.98) - Cardigan ($5.67) x Sweater ($6.78) - Button Up ($4.75) - Top ($3.49) x Pants ($7.85) - Pants ($8.22) - Leather Skirt ($2.37)

More Challenges to come as well as a new DIY!

buying music

Getting shit done before I run away for a week. (Yes, I am hiding away for a week.) Had a show last night, was suppose to get work done but my girl j.mena took a sick day so we went shopping. Thrifting. What we do best.

Back to work. Then off to a birthday dinner. (I am never done celebrating my birthday)

Side note: I purchased 3 CDs today. Yes, I buy CDs. I like the idea of actually having something to hold on to and read. It's the music lover and pack rat in me.

The purchases: 

macklemore & ryan lewis - The Hesit

NaS - Life is Good

and Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d. city

All were worth the price. I believe in supporting artists and supporting GOOD music. So I only buy GOOD music. You should too.

Guttesnipe Tip - Go shopping at places like goodwill now for the after Halloween deals. Buy costumes for next year maybe.
