“Brooklyn Fur”

Hey Stampees! It’s been a while. I’ve been experiencing some serious growing pains in the last few months, and now it’s time for me push through pain. In the midst of all the madness, I made my way to Brooklyn, NY! One of my favorite places in the world. Well, with that being case, I had to pull out my “Brooklyn Fur”. That’s right, I name furs for specific occasions. Only in Brooklyn can you rock leggings, sneakers AND A FUR and be accepted as fashionably correct! Ok, ok, ok, who am I kidding? I would wear this any place I wanna! Well enough of the banter, here are a few pics!

Oxblood? Burgundy? Wine? Well…

I actually prefer the vintage word maroon (maroon was one of my favorite colors in the 144 crayola pack back in the day when I was young and not a kid anymore) myself.  I mean, we could get down into the technicalities of the different shades, but who really cares???  There, there…I know you guys are really obsessed with saying Oxblood.  Try saying it three times really fast!  ”Oxblood, Oxblood, Oxblood!” Feel better now?  Well great!  LOL!  

What’s up Stampees?!  I hope everyone is safe and endured Sandy’s temper this past week.  I personally just enjoyed the couple of days off I had from the day gig.  Actually, I was ready to get back to work to rock my new vintage Aigner coat and my Shoemint heels.  Don’t judge me! Motivation is MOTIVATION!!!

      

Deets:

Leather Coat: Etienne Aigner (Vintage); Shirtdress: GAP; Necklace:  Baublebar; Tights: H&M; Earrings & Bag: F21; Bracelets: H&M & Banana Republic; Ring: Banana Republic; Shoes: Shoemint; Glasses: Warby Parker

So, Oxblood? Burgundy? Wine? Well….

I like to mix them all together.  Stampees & Stampers are Trendsetters!  

I’m starting a new trend of saying maroon all the time.  Say it with me…

“Maroooooooooooon”

Yeah, You’ve been Stamped!!!

XOXO!

Greens ARE Good…

What’s Happening Stampees???  I’ve been pondering a lot on my diet lately and came to the realization that some revisions needed to be made. You know from the time we are old enough to eat solid foods we are constantly told by our parents and the like that “greens are good for you”.  Well unlike many myths parents pass down to us, that statement is true.  I personally don’t think I’m having a balanced meal without them.  However, I could stand to add a little more to my diet.  Similarly, although I’ve always been a fan of green, I could stand to add a little more to my wardrobe.  This autumn, my wardrobe wouldn’t be balanced or complete without some green in it.  Actually, I’m really feeling all types of green right now.  Yeah “greens” are good.

Deets:

Jacket & Pants: H&M; Sweater: Zara; Collar: 80’s Purple; Loafers: The Gap; Earrings: F21; Bracelets: Gifted and BCBGeneration; Ring: Banana Republic; Sunnies: Asos; Clutch: Vintage via Threadflip

The moral of this story is: Don’t be afraid to add some greens to your (clothing) diet.

You’ve been Stamped!

XOXO!

Belated Post: Lucky Fabb Conference & NYFW Spring ‘13 

Hey Stampees! It’s been a minute, but if you have been following me on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, you will know its been a crazy couple of months. Part of the craziness was planning a move, vacation and Fashion Week all in the same month. I actually went to Bahamas and NY within the same week. I literally packed two separate suitcases, went to Bahamas for vacation, flew back and the same day grabbed my other suitcase and caught the red eye train to NY to be at the Lucky Fabb conference by 8am the next morning. Crazy right? Well despite all of the traveling drama, I managed to have an awesome and productive time with my fellow blogger friend, WebHauteJas. The conference was great!  Learned a lot and did some valuable networking.  I was also able to catch two great shows on my trip, ParkChoonMoo and Son Jung Wan.  Now I know NYFW has come and gone for a while and you were inundated with blog posts and updates.  Well, that’s exactly why this post is fashionably late ;).  HA!  Like how I made an excuse for my tardy post? Yeah me too, lol.  Meanwhile, here are some of my STAMPED outfits from the trip…
