I don't understand why people try so hard, to either define me or modify me.

they try so hard to make me say or do certain things that makes me extremely uncomfortable.

It can be something as simple as saying "I like you" or "your real important to me"

The minute I realized they cant understand that I CANT say that, is the minute I realized that even my closes friends... don't know me at all.....which makes me feel even more alone.

D.I.M.Y(did it my self)

Wearing:
Cropped leather top, Cheap Monday tie-dye rape skirt(a steal on sale), Studded heels and backpack from TOPSHOP, and old flannel shirt.



I made this top a while ago but never got around to wearing it. Its super cropped(I mean when I raise my arms...boobage!)
The front and one of the sleeve are made out of real leather while the back is made out of a sheer cotton.
It's a perfectly stitched on one side while the others completely crocked.
I wanted to make a top that would sum up me which is...

-My love for leather (because it makes me feel like a villain in a comic book)
-Black...
-Cropped tops, because there cute and my tummies both my best and worst asset.
-Low tolerance and patience....which is why the entire top isn't made out of leather...
....I wanted to put studs on it but I figured that would be a bit to much.

act da fool

I remember when I used to behave like a "Black Girl". Now hold your horses and put down your pitch forks, because I don't believe in that type of labelling and in this day and age when where all finally treated as equals, it being colour, religion(or well not Tom Cruise and his band of brothers) and Sex. Still there remains that token element where a display of an ethnic group becomes some sort of of artistic geniuasity(no this word will not be found in a dictionary).
Now im not going to get into my typical black girl days cuz that would just be listing things down in a stereotypical manner and back then I just looked to fitting in rather than just being me....(im still black no matter how much certain people would like to disagree and am dam lucky to)

I mean to be honest I loved the film....but if it where a bunch of Caucasian girls would I still have loved it? and with the overall reception be as colourful. I loved the Prouenza Schouler collection so im not judging the cloths, there's just that annoying show pony vibe reeking of this video and I dont appreciate such an "old fashion" perception continuously being exploited.
And if you want to pull the originality card try something that hasent been done to death.
I mean why not put the same girls up in a more posh upper east side setting being pampered in their lavish penthouse.
I mean would that be so strange?

Fall Love

I keep making list in order to gain some control and organisation in my life.
But as usual I find myself bending rules I unrealistically set for myself as they are rules better suited for the "me" I'd like to believe I am...
So there is of course my shopping list which despite my best efforts keep on growing.
So here is my best effort for a Fall essentials list...

1. The oversized shirt, preferably in some sheer silky fabric (good luck finding that combination)

2. I want a knee length White slip dress( a la Courtney Love circa '92) that I can wear with a cropped knitted jumper. I dont want to shed any cash on some fancy brand new lingerie (i mean it's not like a have a boyfriend) so I'll just look for a skanky secondhand one.

Although I wouldnt mind this black dress from Net a Porter...

3. Fishnet stockings. I would have never uttered these words a couple of months ago and I seriously believe its got something to do with the fish burgers I've been hording all summer but im craving a pair of fishnet knee socks.

4. A pair of these sweet babes would go great with my new fishnet knee socks. Although these may have to put at the bottom of the list because I've already purchased a pair of boots which I cannot wait to show you. Anyone who's read my blog could easily guess which once :)

5. I've realized that I have no over sized knitted jumpers...NONE! So im going to need a few of these.

OBS. If anyone has any idea where I could find a Black PVC dress like the one Alice Dellal's wearing do drop a comment here!

oh crap and i still need a velvet dress
