So my last blog post was back on January 18th. It seems like not so long ago I was meeting up with my photographer on Saturday mornings, shooting two or three looks, eagerly awaiting for the photos to hit my inbox and then spending hours going through them to whittle 50 images down to 5.

Why did I stop? Well in the beginning of the year I had foot surgery. Finally my aggressive growth spurts as a child and many many years of classical ballet finally caught up with me. I had a combination of a heightened metatarsal bone as well as a metatarsal fracture on my left foot. The surgery went well but I was instructed to stay off my feet for 3 weeks. You would think laying on the couch all day would make me blog like a mad person but nope.

Have I missed the days of blogging? Not really. (I know, I know, what kind of blogger am I?) I have to say, I got my life back a little bit. My weekends, especially Sunday’s aren’t spent working on a post from sunrise to sunset. I can actually get out and go to brunch, attend a fun event, or simple just rest. It’s a beautiful thing.

Not only have I not posted looks, I haven’t looked at or commented on my favorite blogs either. Granted I loved it, that also consumed a lot of my time. Do I miss that? Yes I do. I really enjoy looking at other individuals styles. I always found that fun. Sometimes I would see a post and think, that style is so not me but she really rocks it. Other times, I fell in love with a look or simply felt inspired by it.

That all being said, I think I’m starting to get that fire back. Recently I’ve been more active on insta & twitter. I think what really put a flame under my bottom, my upcoming trip.

We leave this weekend to go on holiday and I’m very excited. Off to Sweden & Norway we good. 10 days of glorious fun. How could I miss taking photos of my daily looks while strolling the street of Gamla Stan or while traveling through the fjords of Norway. I think this was the kick in the pants that I needed.

A big thank you to my fellow bloggers who never stopped visiting my blog & those you continued to comment. Yes, I can see who comes to my page, what country they are from, through what source whether it be another fashion page, search terms or goggle image. (Having status transparency on my blog, worth every penny). I’d like to give a big hug and say thank you to Mojisola at Mojintocuh.com for private messaging me not once but twice to see how I was doing. Kisses!

*I will be posting soon*

Unlike most of my post wherein I’m rambling on about my ensemble and/or whatever activity I’m up to…..this post is straight to the point.

I joined a friend for what turned in to a sunrise, sunset brunch. Have you ever been out with friends and completely, utterly lose track of time? Like 10 hours in the day? Well that actually happened. Now that I think about it, it wasn’t the first time.

What’s my casual brunch look? This right here. Jean shorts I’ve had for too many years to count, a basic tee and a boyfriend blazer, (one of my best purchases of all time). These are pieces I live in, brunch or no brunch.

If you’re wondering why my bag looks a little odd, it’s because the long straps were replaced back 2013 which I posted about last October. Believe it or not, it’s taken that long for them to darken (patina). Have no fear, I would never purchase a fake and I don’t believe it purchasing pre-owned pieces either. At least not when it comes to designers such as LV & Gucci. Not saying others shouldn’t, its just a thing with me and my bags. I want the fun of going to the boutique to pick it out, wearing it in myself and also to know that if it did need to have work done to it, it was done at the hands of an LV specialist, not some leather master. (Though there are some amazing leather masters out there. Especially here in NYC).

Wait, I guess I ended up rambling again even though I said I wouldn’t. Oops, sorry ladies. LV Refurbish Cabos Alto I also love this tote because you don’t see girls walking around with it. Fortunately it’s out of production. I mentioned it before, (and I usually repeat myself more than I should), I hate the LV Neverfull tote. Even homeless people are carrying it. Its like Groupon sent out one of their blast and so everyone purchased it. It’s really odd. But good for the design team for coming up with it.

Faux vs Real

Ever been out shopping and see a piece from a far and love it? Then as you begin to approach and get closer, it looks like it would go up in flames should you get close to a candle? Yea, there’s a lot of that out there these days. Very disappointing.

I’m not a fan of faux fur or faux leather, I like the real thing. I know the faux fur vest, coat & scarf is very popular right now but you’ll have to forgive me if I don’t get on the bandwagon. That being said, I actually own a pair of faux leather shorts from Zara. Yes, I contradicting myself. It’s rare but it happens.

Rest assure the jacket in this look isn’t faux. It’s 100% cowhide. Thinly cut & super soft to the touch. However as I stood in my closet and held the pieces next to one another, I felt as though the shorts looked better than the real thing. Is this a possible case of, faux wins over real? It just might.

*Excuse the severity of this look. I would never do head-to-toe leather but this post is to show comparison*.

 Toward the end of this shoot, I nearly broke my ankle. How? Some little sloppy squirrel dropped a few nuts and they were hidden under the leaves. My unsuspecting 5 inch heels were no match. I almost hit the ground. Thank goodness for the wrought iron fence.
