Afrika Skirt

I recently rediscovered all the Afrika skirts I picked up last summer at American Apparel. Im not sure if they make them anymore but I have a ton of them including this one and this one. The patterns and colors are really great. I paired this skirt with my denim top that I wear with just about everything. its wonderful as a neutral and I find myself wearing it more and more. I finished the look with my Michael Kors slingbacks...I love love love the copper heel too.

I've been rocking these Senegalese twist for nearly two months and although I love them they are getting way too hot for my head in this heat! I'm going to be taking them out soon and really don't know what I'm going to do with my hair after that. I'm sure i will cut it, just not sure how short I will cut it. Stay tuned.

NEW YORK CITY SUNDAYS

 

New York City Sundays

I usually spend my Sundays catching up on cleaning, eating, reading, watching and of course googling. Here's what's going on in my world today.

 

Apartment Décor

I'm hell bent on re-organizing my office/second closet. My rolling rack is once again starting to lean precariously to the left and looks as if it will collapse any moment. So I have my eye on a sturdier rack....either this one or this one. I'm also thinking of adding some cubbies like this one or this one for my beloved shoes (which I keep in their boxes).

 

Internet Surfing

Apparently Kimye just gave birth to a bouncing baby girl yesterday. Congrats! But what I found really hilarious was the Kanye West NYT Interview. If you haven't read it...and need a good hearty laugh. Here is it for your viewing pleasure.

Refinery29 also did an awesome write up on the Hot 30 Under 30 in NYC. Interesting read.

 

Travel

So I am going to Paris in September for two weeks and I need a good suitcase. I've also been stalking bloggers based in Paris like Carin Olsson and pouring over all of Garance Dore Paris Fashion Week Videos on YouTube so I can get a feel of how it will be and also make some blogger friends while in the City of Lights. I've also been super stalking airbnb for perfect Parisian accommodations.

 

Food

I tried a new chicken soup recipe. Which basically means I made it up. I took and cleaned 6 chicken drumsticks, boiled them in enough water to immerse them in a huge pot. Added chopped carrots, chopped celery, chopped onions, 2 bay leaves, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and cummin. I let it boil for 15 minutes then put it on low for about an hour. Then I added 2 white corn husk (broken into 4 smaller pieces) and 1 cup of rice. I let than go to town for 15 minutes. Then Voila. I ate it. It was delish. I have enough to last all week too. All of the ingredients can be added to your preference.

Happy Sunday

Isabel Marant pour H&M

who else is hella excited?

 

 

I'm stoked about this collaboration. I am a huge fan of Isabel Marant. Helloooooo everyone is rocking sneaker wedges thanks to her. She is sooooo French and soooo chic! With my upcoming two week sabbatical in Paris this little video had me swooning.

 

I simply can't wait to see the sights, eat the food and just sit and be....in Paris.
