New York Life

Hola Fashionista's! Well I'm still in Brooklyn and definitely have been enjoying it. I love being with my cousin and aunt everyday. I've been doing a lot of job searching, both in NYC and MA. Hopefully something turns up soon.While I've been back I've hung out with all my cousins that I've missed. I went to the city and I've been on Fulton. Sadly I missed when Drake was on Fulton and was kind of upset. There's always another day to meet him though I will not give up hope! It's Friday the 13th and today there's a Tumblr meetup which I will be going to because I missed the last one. I'm excited but have no clue what to wear ..... story of my life right! I'm hoping the weather lightens up by the time I head over for it. I also have to get my nails done which I have no clue where I'm going to get them done.

New posts coming soon for this unlike winter were having here on the east coast. Be sure to stay posted!

No Sleep Til Brooklyn!

So my loves I'm back Brooklyn. It was a long car ride because I only had an hour of sleep. But I really love being back home. Even though its cold, I love it! I wanted to show you all a couple gifts I bought myself through the month Decemeber as Christmas gifts to myself.

The new Kardashian Konfidential. It features a new chapter and pictures from Kim's wedding.

Life In Pictures: Marilyn Monroe. Its a book that describes her life and also timelines it through pictures. I purchased this at Five Below for $4.00.

I also purchased there novel Dollhouse. Its pretty much based on there lives but its not. If that makes any sense.

I also purchased a movie (Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince) and a satin leopard eye mask. I purchased both at the store Five Below for $5.00 (movie) and $3.00 (eye mask).

I bought myself new sneakers (as posted from my previous shoe-gasm post). These are the new Air Jordan 14s they released 12.17.11 and these weren't the original ones I wanted to buy the ones I wanted were sold out (Concord 11s). I paid $109.99 for these because there still new.

These earrings I bought from Forever 21. There clip-ons and they make me feel a little Coco Chanel.

I bought this studded bracelet also from Forever 21. I'm not huge on bracelets but I thought I should start wearing them.

This is the vest I bought to wear for New Years. I really have been dying for a fur vest so I'm extremely happy I bought this!

I bought this fringed vest because I saw it on display being worn with the fringed crop top I bought. This is also from Forever 21.

I love Scarves. This is probably one of my favorite accessories for Fall/Winter. I also got this from Forever 21 and I got it in this shade of green because I wanted something different.

I bought this studded clutch for New Years and everyone loved it. I paid $25.00 for it but it was worth it because if I wanted to wear it as a purse it comes with a chain!

I also got this clutch and it just looked bad ass to me so I had to get it! I paid $25.00 for this as well. Both clutches are from Shii.

Buy both clutches here:

Studded Clutch

Metallic Glitter Clutch

Hope you all loved this stuff!
Remember that just because your shopping for other people during the holidays doesn't mean you cant buy yourself something as well. So go splurge on yourself sometimes!

Happy New Years!!!

Hello my loves, heres a few pics of myself on New Years Eve! My whole outfit is Forever 21. My shoes are from Burlington Coat Factory, the brand is Dollhouse. I went and got my nails and did leopard print on my ring fingers. I also got my eyebrows done. I was really happy about how my outfit looked with my hair and i wore NO MAKEUP. Yup that's right i was bare faced besides mascara and a sweep of my NARS gold eye shadow. My ring is from Rainbows and all my other accessories are from Forever 21. My glitter lips are from Violent Lips which I purchased from Sephora.

I got so many compliments on my outfit. Especially on my vest and shoes!

You Ask & I Answer!

So my dears, I've been getting emails recently with questions about myself. Some have been the same so I've decided to post them here.

Q. What would you say is your ultimate go to item in your closet?
TSF: I would have to say my NY hoodie. Since I've been working a lot I don't have time much to do anything so when I do go out I usually throw on skinnies a plain tee and my hoodie.

Q. On a Friday or Saturday night what is your favorite thing to do?
TSF: Honestly I'd probably say hanging with my sisters because I don't see them that much because of my job.

Q. If your going to the mall, what would your outfit be?
TSF: Depends on who I'm going with, as odd as it may sound. If I'm with my sisters I usually dress casual with jeans and a hoodie. If I'm with my best friend ill usually wear something more dressy with my baby phat cheetah shoes.

Q. What's your favorite place to shop?
TSF: Forever 21. I live and breathe there for clothes, handbags, and accessories. Sephora is where I get all my makeup, nail polish, and perfume. I don't have a specific place I shop at for shoes but mostly sneaker shops and charlotte russe or forever 21 for heels.

Q. Is there something in your closet that you haven't worn?
TSF: Actually yes. I have a pair of Timberland boots I haven't worn yet because there for winter but it hasn't snowed yet. I have a black dress from Forever 21 that I haven't worn yet because I'm saving it for my cousins birthday which is in January.

Q. Out of all your shoes what are your favorite by season?
TSF: Well I'd have to say spring would be my cheetah shoes cause there comfy. For summer my american eagle gladiator sandals. Fall would be any of my sneakers that I feel like wearing, mostly my converse. Winter I only wear Timbs if there's snow on the ground if not then its usually the newest sneaker I've bought.

Q. Who's your favorite designer?
TSF: Versace. Who else?

Q. As a stylist blogger, what do you find is the best way to grow?
TSF: Honestly, I've been blogging for 2 years now so I think its just making each post interesting. My blog is more personal than a lot of blogs and I like to keep it connected to me and the readers.

Q. How did you think of doing fashion features?
TSF: I actually thought about it when I was looking through a magazine. Its amazing reading interviews with celebs but what about the girls who aren't celebs?

Q. Why don't you feature yourself?
TSF: I feel as though my blog doesn't get a lot of traffic and I don't think I have that many followers so when I see that grow then maybe ill consider that.

Q. How are you so confident in what you wear?
TSF: I try my hardest to pull off things that girls may never try. Confidence is something we mustn't lack because if your wearing something gorgeous but aren't confident it will show.

Q. Will you be doing more features and style spreads in 2012?
TSF: Most definitely. I strayed a little but I will do my best. I want to bring new things to the blog so that's my goal for 2012.

Thanks for sending me emails. It honestly makes my day answering them. Feel free to email me whenever I reply within the same day.
