june looks good on you

I haven't sat down to blog in forever. I honesty feel a bit rusty. Most of outfits have been "lazy" takes on things I've already posted. I am not fancy enough where I only have to wear one outfit once. I recycle again and again. Of course adding and subtracting accessories. That's the key ladies & gentlemen. Which up your rings, necklaces, socks, and shoes.

And on another note - tonight, remember it's the first Friday of June. So make it a good one!

    

MTV has been slacking on the "music" part and I am not the biggest fan of their reality tv shows however Girl Code is my shit! One of the lovely ladies on their had a little moment for the tall ladies in the world. Her advice - wear heels! Screw the people who don't like it if you are tall already. I never wear heels because I am already 5 11 but screw it. These booties were too cute to pass up. And I enjoy being tall, thank you very much. xo

quick trippin'

Just got back from a night in Portland where I saw Questlove DJ. I never understand why people always said seeing this artist or that artist live changed their lives until I saw Questlove. The man is a genesis!

I've never danced so hard in my life. I've danced that long either. He did a heavy and super packed set. Started at 11 sharp ended at 2 AM. Worth every penny, worth every second.

 

(excuse my crappy iPhone photos)

Best part of going to Portland though is all the Nike Outlet malls. I don't regret a thing. But my bank account might...

 

Ladies - quick tip for the summer time. If you are like me (well invested in the boob area) wearing a cute color bra with a pop of color is ideal for a tank like this. No matter what I wear in the summer, my bra always makes it way through. So I might as well use it to my advantage.

Even if you don't have big boobs - showing your bra a little is not bad! Shit happens.

& in love again,

I fell in love with these polka dots high waisted jeans again. I got them almost a year ago but they truly are the best Spring item I have. So last year, but whatever. Like I've ever cared about that.

   

Fashion Little Tip: Tie your shirt in a tie to add it a little something special. Turns any run of the mill t-shirt into something fun again. Also play around with tucking in shirt in the back or the front or the sides.

Spring is here! I am always so uninspired by Spring fashion. Especially being in Seattle you never know if a bright sun day will turn ugly. So it's kind of dress for any occasion or situation.

something of a remix

Yesterday j.mena and I went to the Seattle Art Museum Remix Show. It's when the public are invited to party, dance, and interact with the art at the museum. Also to be the first to see the newest/latest exhibit. We had a blast! People were also dressed up, loving all the ideas this year for halloween.

I was able to take a lot of great pictures but might save them for a separate post of some "guttersnipe inspiration". For the time being here is me twerking in various places. Because well, I've just been doing it lately...

Last Night @ SAM                                                      & a few hours ago outside my house

On a fashion note. I got a Nordstrom Gift Card for my birthday (Aunt's are the best!) and since our Nordstrom now has a Top Shop, I was able to get these amazing high waisted acid wash jeans. So glad I bought them in stores instead of online. WARNING - Top Shop clothes, especially their pants, run small. Super small. I usually wear 30 x 30 and got these in a 31 x 32. Just a little #guttersnipe tip.

 

  

Also - a super cute DIY project is taking a scrap of fabric and tying it into a bow on a pearl necklace. Bam! That's it.

2013 Fall Essentials

Since summer technically ends this weekend it means it's that time again! I did it last year and here is my list for this year.

Door knocker earrings
(Of course) But this time I upgraded to a pair of chucky gold lions from Nasty Gal.

Knit Leggings
My favorite leggings from Target but in a new cable knit style. Super comfy, super cute!

Eucerin Lotion
I have bad eczema, mostly on my hands but cold weather doesn't help. It dries it out even more. But Eucerin (super rich) lotion is ideal!

EOS lip balm
On the topic of fall being a chilly time that also means cracked and chapped lips. No one likes that! Eos lip gloss is my favorite right now. Although it's a bit pricy look out for them on sale at drug stores or Target.

Big sweaters/hoodies
I am stealing "borrowing" them mostly from my boyfriend. A big crew neck, leggings, a statement necklace, and a pair of sneakers is an ideal fall uniform.

Sneakers
And all that note; every girl needs a reliable pair of kicks.

Messy fish tale
You know for the days you don't know what to do with your mane.

Chai Tea
Ideal for the fall season. My mother's friend makes his own mix, so all I do is add the spices to water and sugar, let it boil for an hour (makes the whole house smell good!) then store it in the fridge.

Army Jacket
I just love my army jacket. It coast 5 bucks and is just a great style piece to vamp up any look.


Soft Pink Lipstick

Red lipstick will always be my go to color but a soft pink, almost nude lip is ideal for a little something extra in the day time. Very subtle and not too over the lop. My favorite is "Princess" by Covergirl Lipslicks
