MY STYLE FIX: A TRENDY POP OF NEON

Tuesday Booze Day! Yesterday I got the most ah-maz-ing news. Yours truly was featured on LuckyMagazine.com. I'm pretty sure I left my body when I found out.   

I mean it's theee Lucky Magazine after all. The very same Fashion Mag that I religiously buy every month and spent countless hours on the commode perusing through every little column and feature.

I couldn't believe it! It had to be some other big headed Personal Style Blogger, because the last time I checked I was neither rich enough to bribe the staff, and my jaw is not that strong.   

So, of course I checked and double-checked the write-up to see if I was reading correctly, or just simply had a psychotic break from reality, because clearly without those incentives, it just seemed impossible.  

To be selected by Lucky Magazine for anything other than hoarding, because I do save all my issues, and floor space is becoming increasingly scarce, may have been an oversight on their part. 

But, I'll more than take the feature which celebrates my personal style as oppose to the former which could incite a visit from the local Health Department. 

Enjoy Your Day! Happy Independence Day! Thanks for stopping by<3

MY STYLE FIX: LACE DRESS

OMG! On Wednesday, the most amazing thing happened to me! Yours truly had a professional photo shoot with Refinery29 for an Armani Exchange event here in NYC. Refinery29 extended the event to fashion bloggers, and as soon as I heard about it, I picked out this lace dress, paired with a leather jacket, pumps, and an arm full of bracelets of course, and I decided to participate.

I was so nervous! It's one thing to be photographed by the BF, who sees me bad naked all the time, and he hasn't left yet, which clearly means he loves me, because trust me sans clothes, the sight is far from glamourous and likely to initiate a dry heave. 

It's another thing to have someone who could give two shits about you beyond the project at hand, taking your picture. I've already proven to the BF that I'm no model, and I'm more like an awkward talking robot. He's used to it.  

So, before I did my best impersonation of a deer in the headlights I let the photographers in on the jig. To my surprise I wasn't  immediately thrown out on my arse. Instead the guys could not have been more accommodating and reassuring.

They put me at ease, and told me all I had to do was just stand in place, and they would do the rest. That in and of itself was a tiny miracle, 'cause to date there's a reason why I don't walk and chew gum...I can't. But, rest assured I can stand with the best of them. 

Have a Great Weekend! Thanks for stopping by<3

MY STYLE FIX: SUMMER MAXI DRESS

Happy Monday! I had a very low-key weekend if you don't count the arrival of the humongous planet that has taken up precious real estate on my already imperfect face. If I had a decent size paper bag that could've fit comfortably over my noggin without the whole suffocating to death thing, I would've gladly worn it without any reservations. 

Resorting to such measures isn't even extreme, considering the circumference of the growth, which I'm certain would've frightened small children, or anyone with vision.  

If I didn't know better, I would've ran straight to my dermatologist, so he could've biopsied the little invader, because clearly at that size there's no freaking way it was just your normal run of the mill blemish.

 But, the timing, coupled with my insatiable need for chocolate, and overwhelming desire to scratch my BF's eyes out, or stab him to death, completely clued me in on why I could now legitimately be mistaken for the Elephant Man.  

And to make matters worse, I wore this maxi dress, and choose to still take photos for my blog as if I don't have a stigmata on my cheek. Thank goodness for photoshop!

Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by<3

MY STYLE FIX: CARDIGAN & CUFFED JEANS

TGIF! I think we're going out with a bang! The one and only Mr. Golden Sun himself, that illusive shiny little bastard actually showered us...well, maybe not all of us, but definitely parts of the East coast, with his presence yesterday. After days of oppressive rain and fyi Mother Nature, uhm, flowers come in May, not the wet stuff. That was April, so turn it off now. Any who, after days of rain and an outbreak of vitamin D deficiency, the sun came back, and all was right with the world, child rape notwithstanding. It's gonna take just a little more than a sunny day to fix that. I'm thinking mass castrations perhaps...Just a thought. But, I digress!

It was simply beautiful yesterday, and just like everybody else I  behaved as if prior to that day I had never, ever seen the sun before, or that it'd never appear again in my lifetime. So naturally, I just had to go out, and take it all in. And like everybody else I then went on and on about it like it was the most amazing thing ever. It's so funny how quickly we forget that the same sun was just here like a few days ago, and it was here many times before that too. I guess that's what rainy days will do to you. I'm just glad I don't live in places like Seattle. They must go bat shit crazy and riot in the streets at the sight of the sun. 

A few more days though, and I think that's where we were heading. Instead, we just all stormed our favorite restaurants and demanded to dine al fresco. The irony though is that with all that bright sunshine, it still wasn't that warm, and certainly not warm enough to eat outside. However, you couldn't tell that from the masses of people who lined the streets during lunchtime. 

I'm not gonna lie. I had the same idea as I headed to one of my favorite restaurants wearing a cardigan, shirt, cuffed distressed denim, and flats. As soon as I got outside, the cool air quickly changed my mind, and as I passed the customers dining al fresco, I could tell by all the zipped up jackets that they knew they got carried away, and I bet as the wind would lash 'em in the face they were praying for rain so they would've had an excuse to head indoors. I on the other hand, ate indoors and happily gazed at the sun through the window. 

Enjoy your day and have a kickass weekend! You deserve it. Thanks for stopping by<3

MY STYLE FIX: CUTOUT PINK DRESS

Happy Hump Day! I woke up to 30 degrees this morning, so to the state of Florida I would like to give a hearty go to hell. Yeah that's right, with your balmy weather everyday, go straight to hell. If you're in California or Arizona and you're laughing, shut that up immediately (straight face). You can get some too, with that year round sunshine BS. Ugh...you guys disgust me right now! Sure I'm slightly jealous. It's Spring after all and frost still exist in my world. I can't.

To make matters worst, not only do I have to go out everyday and expose myself to this brutality, but I have to wallow in it for extended periods of time. If I had known, I would've started this blog well into Summer. I mean, right now, I'm outside day after day, rain or shine...well...let me think about that...not really rain so much. I do sorta draw the line there. I've never tested the theory, but I'm about 93 percent positive that if rain ever comes in contact with my body I would melt. Yeah, you got it, just like butter. I promise. I'm no risk taker, so, if it's raining I don't go. And I mean ANYWHERE. My tactic has worked so far, since I'm still here. Besides, I'm not into the whole frizzy hair thing. But, you get the point.

So rain notwithstanding, I'm out there and let me be clear, it's really kinda hard being all smily, smily, and posey, posey when my nipples are frozen. That sorta pain before noon is ungodly and downright disrespectful. Take today for instance,as soon as I stepped out the door I immediately regretted not wearing thermal everything. Wtf! Sure it will be 60 degrees later on in the day and normally, on the go pairing, my spring dress, with a denim jacket, and flats would've sufficed. However, for my blog I wallow remember, and if this keeps up I may become the first nippleless, big headed, personal style blogger ever. I mean don't get me wrong I'm into breaking records and all, but I like my nipples. My head size, well, not so much but...I digress.   

Sheesh, who knew there were so many inherent hazards of personal style blogging. Not to mention, all the gazes, which, if truth be told are closer to soul piercing gawks of nosey passerby's who are clearly thinking I'm a nutbag, since I'm the only genius lollygaging in freezing ass temperatures. Well...the photog is too, but they can totally tell by the look on his face that he's either a hostage or my BF and either way he's being forced. It's either he has Stockholm Syndrome or he's madly in love with me, which is pretty much one in the same at this point, but whatever. The photog has an excuse.

I on the other hand can be a ridiculous person at times. Who else would do such a thing?! I just wish I could be ridiculous in the sunshine, on a beach, maybe with a drink, and perhaps surrounded by some Floridians, but they'll probably ban me now, since I did pretty much tell them to F off. Please forgive me Florida I blame brain freeze.   

Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by<3

MY STYLE FIX: WIDE LEG DENIM

Happy Friday!!! Today I'm feeling bright and cheery, because it's Friday of course, and the weather is gorge.  So, I reached for a white tailored blazer which definitely reflects my current mood.  It's funny...I don't know about you guys, but my outfits tend to reflect the way I'm feeling or, let's say I'm feeling craptastic I'll wear something playful to lift my spirits. Generally, it works! You should try it. The next time you're feel lousy wear one of you're favs and watch the magic happen. Today though I didn't need help in that department.

I paired my blazer with a mustard blouse and Gap wide leg dark blue denim. I just love the look of white against dark blue jeans, and when it's a blazer I think it tends to look really polished. Btw, doesn't it look like I'm floating?! That wasn't necessarily the look I was going for, but I did want my jeans to "sweep" the ground. It's a really cool little trick. Not only does it look better (high waters are never ok), but it makes even the shortest person look taller. I love that!

Btw, I'm wearing round toe stiletto heal platform pumps that have bullet detail! They're black, but super distressed so they look almost dark grayish. Anyway, they're like my little secret though since in this outfit no one will ever see them unless I purposely reveal them. Now that I think about it, the hidden shoe and floating thing is kinda weird,lol. Gotta love fashion!I hope you guys have an awesome weekend! XOXO! Simmy P.
