"We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves" -Malcolm X

Preach, Brother Malcolm. I wrote this whole little spiel about black people and how we need to start unifying and holding each other accountable for the desperate state of things in our communities, and then I remembered...this is a fashion blog. (I'll leave that to my Twitter account.)

So let's talk fashion. This is one of those outfits I'd piece together when going to a music event like a festival or concert, anything late night, or if I'm running around in the city. This was a full length t-shirt until I cut it into a crop top. With the crop top trend still going strong, I suggest you head to the thrift store, find an interesting graphic tee in the women or kids section, and cut it to your liking. It's a cheap and easy way to get a unique crop top. Additionally, yal aren't going to be able to stop me from wearing these jellies this spring and summer. I have a black and nude pair and I'm prepared to wear them with pretty much everything I own...at any given moment. #itsjellyseason

If you have any questions or comments about what I'm wearing or need any styling tips, please drop me a comment below!

Peace.

#TPMShop: 12 Perfect Spring 2014 Sunnies.

Happy Spring!

Today marks the official first day of Spring, and I, for one, could not be more excited. If I see another snowflake, I might have to hurt someone. :) So I've scoured the net to find the cutest, funkiest glasses to get you Spring ready. In this day and age, fashion is inspired by the trends of past decades. So in this collection, you'll notice a lot of 60's and 70's inspired frames that I am in love with: cat-eyes, rounded, and decorative 3D elements like pearls or flowers.

Style Post: Checkerboard Cupcakes.

Jacket: H&M / Skirt: Forever 21 / Shirt: Cupcake Mafia / Shoes: Go Jane

Hello world, Leslie here.

Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving. It's been too long since I've put up a personal style post. Sorry the pics are a little blurry, but they were taken with my less than ideal iphone camera. :) I'm wearing an H&M moto jacket, a Cupcake Mafia T's crop top, a checkerboard Forever 21 skirt (which I adore), and black heels with clear PVC from GoJane.com.

Guys!

I'm going to keep this one short and sweet.  I wore this outfit while I was vacationing in Atlanta. Totally comfortable and easy to jazz up with bold jewelry and a statement necklace.  I apologize for not getting any full head to toe shots, but for anyone wondering, I'm wearing wheat Timberland boots.

New York Day 4.

I'm a fan of bamboo earrings. Ever since high school, I've always had a pair on deck just waiting to get their chance to shine. And I picked up a couple more pairs while in Williamsburg. Schwing! We hit up the 9/11 Memorial, which was beautiful. Then headed to the Financial District, Chinatown, and walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. We certainly maximized our trip and did a little bit of everything.

Melissa x Forever 21.

The return of the Melissa...please tell me you are excited just a little bit. All this means, as you probably already know, is jellies are back. Us 90's kids already know the deal here. I want jellies; and I prefer them to be clear with gold or silver glitter, but these are adorable, nostalgic, and will certainly do.

So Melissa and F21 did a first time collaboration and produced these 5 pairs of sandals. My favorite style has got to be the Geo Mini-Wedge. The red and navy blue just pop. Melissas are super comfortable, with the PVC allowing the shoe to mold and move with your foot (well don't I sound jell-educated.) Just watch out for blisters. You can cop any of the sandals above over at Forever21.com for under $23.

How to Style Strappy Black Heels.

If you saw my post below, you know that there are a ton of a-dorable shoes for ri-diculously good prices. So now you have all these dope shoes, and you ask yourself "What am I gonna wear these with?" Here's where I come in.

I think for the black strappy sandals, it would be really cute if you tried the sporty look. Sweatpants and pajama pants both have made a subtle comeback. And wearing them with a nice pair of simple strappy heels is basically perfection. Like a relaxed grown up look.

I chose soft blue sweatpants with a grey high-low tank. Lots of flow and movement. And the high bun keeps it nice and sleek. I chose black and silver jewelry. The earrings are bolder pieces, while the necklace is understated.

I just love this look.... very simple but definitely interesting. It's something that I can't wait to try myself.
