This spread in October's Elle was amazingly decorated with accessories and I fell in love, and the best part, its 4 different covers. I still look at this spread and its been 2 months.
No Wine In This Country.
Nothing like some wine to brighten up an overall dismal day.
Wine is one of the "it" colors for the season, and with well reason, its so versatile. It could be serious and very dramatic with dress with daring necklines and suits, or it could be playful like my pictures. I'm never serious and dramatic.

Treasure Chest.
I obtained this....actually, I don't know what the fuck to call it. When I was in Atlanta i decided to do a tadbit of shopping, and came across this. It was in the bag section, but when i picked it up, it was to my stupid surprise, wooden. First thought, "Oh ok, a jewelry box, cute!" As I was walking around with it, someone said, "cute bag". Alright, I don't know about you, but I don't know many people with wooden bags in a box shape, but the more i carried it the more it got called a bag until I started calling it a bag. I was so perplexed that I HAD to buy it. Still don't know what the hell to call it. One thing though, it is cute.
When I Feel Like Shit.
This is where I go to wash away my depression. Preferably with butter and a copious amount of syrup.
Over The Mill.
I've seen plenty of Varsity Jackets and Navajo-styled prints EVERYWHERE on all most every blog and in every major fashion magazine and its become a huge trend. I'm not getting a varsity jacket. Not my thing, they are cute, but just not for me, plus its too late to even jump on that train since it took off in late August. Navajo-print items on the other hand are right down my alley and just recently began storming the fashion world. I don't know exactly WHAT pieces I would like to have (nothing OBEY, eek), but these are some accessories I would love to acquire.
Infinite Gentlemen.
I love reading GQ Korea. The photo spreads are always so compelling and beautiful. The articles, after translation are usually very fun and informative. I just need to find somewhere around here I can actually buy the physical form. Reading them will be impossibly, but the pictures will be worth it. Here's a couple of pictures from the spread from this month's issue with Korean pop group, INFINITE.
Thief.
I have "stolen" so many items of clothing and accessories from different family members, that i'm afraid if we ever have a family reunion, i'll be stripped naked on the spot.
My briefcase is from my Uncle. It was his apart of his uniform when he was in school in Africa. Its crazy carrying a bag that's two times my age and see it in such a good condition. I feel like im carrying around a piece of history.
The necklace is my grandmother's, and she recieved it from a Ghanaian woman who made it for her. Its extremely heavy for a necklace, but so beautiful. One day i'll come across some items that my offspring can steal from me. Just dont let me find out they took it.

Entrenching.
The weather has to be just right and i have to be in the right setting for a trench coat. A classic trench coat.
Old Christian Dior Sweater & A trench coat bought from a department store in London. Yeah, the mood has to be just right.
Even The Ugliest Ones.
Style is a completely imaginative replication of one's self. Not only that, its the creation of the various emotions you feel on a day-to-day basis.
Today, I felt unorthodox and ugly.
Now, when I say ugly I don't mean in the aesthetic way. Im speaking in the terms, of a inner mood and feeling. The weather today was ferocious, and more cumbersome , it decided to switch from hot at noon to freezing by 2. Not a fun day at all when you add in an exam in Biology to the mix.
I decided that with an ugly day and ugly outlook on the day should come an ugly outfit. I personally love ugly outfits. I'll rephrase this: I love outfits that follow no set theme or ideal flow. Outfits with random pieces melded together tastefully always catch my eye and bring forth the creation of a story.
I never could really find a use for the shirt with the abstract slashes of graffiti until today. I couldnt be more happier with this ugly outcome.
Do you have any "ugly" outfits?
We Found Love.
Here's Rihanna's new video for her latest single off her new cd slated to hit stores NOVEMBER 22nd, "We Found Love"
HM x VERSACE.
For months, there has been talk of DonatellaVersace and the legendary line,Versace, being the next collaborator with H&M! With the collection release coming up next month, ads and previews of the lookbook having been literally popping up everywhere.
Are you ready for it, cause I sure as hell am! There's even houseware, which is big, because this is the first time a H&M collaborator has included house items (think pillows, sheets, etc).
The US & Canada release with be November 19th. 300 stores worldwide will be getting it, and it seems that Donatella has designed a collection to be released January 19th, 2012 for online H&M sales. I will be buying a couple pieces, pillows and all.
Bible and Her Verses.
I may miss a month or so when it comes to buying my magazines, but I never skip reading them. You?
