my new top

so while in NYC I did not get to blow mad cash cause...uhhh i'm poor, but I did purchase this kimono'esque zebra print blouse which i intend to add a belt to because the drawstring effect is not flattering on me. The blouse was 19.99 from a store on Canal Street and the bangles came from a shop @ a mall in Queens and for the set it was only 10.00 and I love them oh soo much!


back from NYC

so I just got back from NYC & I must say I am in love with that place...soo much so I am moving there at the end of December...Sho nuff, being that I want to work in fashion I think NYC will be a great move for me and my career. Here is a recap of the looks I wore...I did not get a chance to make it to the Garment District like I wanted to but i'll see it when I get back, oh and I got to ask a question on The Wendy Williams Show...highlight of my trip...loves that lady!!!
