lighting bolt earrings ,loud colored heels, and three finger rings....all a girl needs in life

so i was sitting at work with HIM and HE was dozing off watching vimby.com and i happened to look over and Melanie Ehsani was talking about her spring 2009 line up..it was like watching the 80's be rebirthed....the bright exciting colors are very exciting while the designs are something you could picture being in an andy warhol coloring book.....Ehsani is a los angles native and she's worked with the great Erykah Baduh...her newest project is a collaberation is for a line of urban anime in a jewerly sense....i'm trying to figure how to wrap my fingers around a few of her pieces as i type!

head coverings

so if you see me in the streets and around i always seem to have on a grey knitted cap. after many annoying questions i've decided to answer the FAQ about my beanie.
1. is there a religious meaning to why you keep your head covered?

there are no religious ties.....there are some religions that require women to cover their heads....i don't belong to any such groups

2.are you following a fashion trend of sorts?

actually it began that way and blossomed into just a sort of comfort thing...its a relief for the all too often bad hair day

3. why only in grey?

no grey is not my favorite color....but it does like black and white go with alot of color options

4. do you think you will get rid of it?

eventually it will give up the ghost on me...but until then i am keeping it close

hold up....wait a minute

so i'm in huntsville,al. for a two week vacay with a very special friend and in the last post i was kind of a dick wad. i'm so sorry and you know who you are. i got a bit asshole like and forgot that you have a very hectic schedule....sorry!!!!! you opened your house to me and gave me free reign to do as i please.....i know that you will read this and i hope that you forgive me......

damn

i know the pain....trust me

rae's fave shopping spot


i'm such a chicago girl i love every part of my city and i'm always going somewhere looking for new places to shop. so if one day i was strolling through the wicker park neighborhood..home to trendy places like leaders, st. alfred's, the silver room, and others and i passed a store that i had been intended to go in but never really poked my head in and i walked in....Pitaya....from the moment i walked in i knew this would be one of my go to places from now on. Pitaya is what every fashionable young lady would love for her closet to look like. its not to in your face, its the perfect mix of day n' nite.

i just bought this dress and im dying for the weather to break...so i can free it from its bag in my closet.....its defiantly an attention grabber!

you can daly but i'd much rather DiLi

Its april and the seasons are changing, its time to store away your heavy winter coats, scarves, and gloves! New flowers bloom and so is new fashion...in a sleepy little town named Chicago...DiLi Designs is blooming. The creative force behind the DiLi Designs powerhouse, Leah Walker(Chicago, Illinois) and Deidre Trent(Canton, Michigan),are two students attending the Illinois Institute of Art- Chicago. Unfortunately i was unable to attend their unvailing...but i have pictures. Word still is not out on when these fashions will be on the market, so here are a few pics from their shows....Kudos Leah and Deidre!! the lovely ladies of DiLi Designs



this jumper is my personal favorite...leah, if you need a model...you got my number!

Dont Let Em Fool You


so last nite in a sleepy lil midwest town named "Chicago" there was a little party called "Wonder Years Vol 3"....a leaders event, many ppl gathered in the spirit of the season to see old friends and talk about old times...and juke they asses off......so all were having a good time.....backs were bounced and broken twice.....on the floor and on the sidewalk.... and we cracked the club's top floor....it was really that many ppl on the second level...and then an old familiar face decided to act stupid and the guys in slim fit jeans showed them that even though they are fashionable they can and will throw hands....sadly the performances portion of the show was cut out due to the fighting....but overall a goodtime was had
